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

[roy vernon]

None of us want him in the team, and the only solution is to buy a striker.

I know that, you know that, I'm sure Lampard knows that and yet here we are.

 

[Nymzee]

We literally have 1 'senior' midfielder available. And no strikers.

We have lots of defenders suited to playing a 5 at the back.

I'll leave you to figure out why we lined up like that.

So we couldn’t have started Onana, Iwobi and Warrington/Price in a 3? Against Fleetwood? We also started with a striker (Rondon) and had multiple wingers to start.

 

[Lee Smith]

Nah mate, the alternative was awful, Rondon is beyond terrible, a terrible black joke played on us by our former manager.

Time for bed me thinks.

Makes me wonder, very similar in style to Billy gilmore and in no way looks in any way inferior to him. I know its only one game but you can see the strengths and weaknesses of players fairly quickly. Needs more opportunities in the first team. Looks a player.

Reminded me of Winks.

Love players who confident coming for the ball and recycling it.

Great composure. Fleetwood would do well to enquire.

We could have, but I doubt any manager is going to start a midfield of a 21 year old who has made 2 sub appearances for us, a 19 year old with no appearances, and a wide forward.

Yes, multiple wingers, one who seems to be struggling to find his feet with us, and one who wasn't meant to start and can struggle to make an impact in a game consistently. (All our wingers are pretty poor finishers as well)

The less said about rondon the better.

Also, we scored and look comfortable with a 5 at the back. It worked.

I merely asked why did we, you said we couldn’t, I showed you we could have. Nothing more to it.

Nope, i never said we couldnt. You asked why. I gave some reasons and then said I'd leave you to figure out why.

Oops, I see what I did there, I meant a macabre joke, no ethnic slur intended mea culpa

I mean, that's just my view. I'm sure others think we looked crap.
