Match Thread Atalanta v Everton - Thursday 14/9

[Azzurri]

The one thing I'm feed up with and its been like it for years, playing 1 up front when I started supporting Everton in 1988 we use to play 2 up front, why has the 1 up front become so popular?.

Loads of reasons, pros and cons to every formation isn't there.

I don't think the problem is necessarily the one up front here, it's just that individually they're all playing dreadful.

I do agree in the sense that two up front could hardly make us any worse, it's just that we haven't got one forward never mind two.

Can someone enlighten me why we didn't give Giroud a week to sign for us and - once he didn't - find another player?

Or is being too friggin nice and polite just another Achilles Heel and fault to lay at Bill's feet?

Rancid

Has gylfi come back on? Now you mention it, has he made it on to the pitch at all this game?

has the other 10 ?

I think my initial worries regarding Rooney may be correct, he's way past his best.

Forgot about our £50mill man on the field

Any subs btw? Just walked off in disgust for 20 minutes after their 3rd.

 

[Scolari]

Maybe we are just using Europa League to scout for new players like Vlasic. If so, can we buy Petagna please

 

[anton66]

Really sorry for the fans who have travelled.

Every one of them should be reimbursed after this.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Not impressive at all

I think it's impressive that Atalanta are 3 up without getting out of second gear

 

[TyphooToffee]

Rearrange the words to make as phrase that suits our defence tonight:

a hot butter knife like through

 

[Toast]

I think we should send our scout / director of football to Italy next season to have a look at some players.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Atrocious

 

[Blues Harp]

Dont know what the lads and lasses over there watching this [Poor language removed] must feel.....
