Match Thread Carabao Cup - Fleetwood Town vs Everton - Match Report and MotM Poll

[Jamiednm]

Did Rondon attend any of pre season?

Doesn’t need to, he’s a physical specimen 365 days a year.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Did Rondon attend any of pre season?

Yes but he went to Hot Wok after training every day.

 

[jonnyg]

we'd be comfortably midtable in league one going by this

 

[Wat Tyler]

These are atrocious. Fleetwood as well

You`ve got your opinion, thats fine, I got mine.

The majority of Evertonians I speak to on a daily basis would like to see the club go to a back 4 because it is our most successful system, not shoulda woulda coulda....

The majority of football fans don’t really understand football though

Rondon must be the only striker in world football that can't be bothered getting into a scoring position.

Bit unfair, as much as people slag rondon off, and sometimes it warranted because hes not a great footballer. There isn't a lack of effort.

How bad is Rondon
These are just using him as a punchbag....are you watching Kevin ?

 

[irishtony1878]

McNeill has definitely got to up his work rate, too many people just running past him .
Looks lost most of the time.

 

[Parker]

Hope that jizzhead at right back gets absolutely leathered by someone

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

yard dogs these - we must be careful...

Managed by Scott Brown aren't they. Behaving like a bunch of builders tryna play Sunday League.

Just realised it's 5:30am and I stayed up to watch us struggle against Fleetwood.

Bloody hell... Right, off to bed to wake up to 2-1 Fleetwood.

His hold up play is awful, DCL would have bounced that defender with ease

 

[Joey66]

Rondon is utter utter gash

A right lump of Lard ....sub him FGS total embarrassed watching him ..

109 votes is a small sample size

I'd also argue with hte current squad a back 3/5 is by far the best formation becuase they have shown time and time again when its a abck four they cannot defend whatsoever.

As said in my previous post, it's the personnel that is the issue in attack, not the system. At least not so far anyway. If we make signings and still look bereft of creativity in 5-6 weeks then yes, major issue.

Gray, McNeill, Gordon, Rondon, none of them have end product, zero. Experienced or young, whatever.

Just to add i respect your opinion on this and i DO understand it, just not sure its the issue at present. I just have zero faith in the attackers, rather than the system. We have made chances but not taken them in all 3 games so far.
