Match Thread Chelsea V Everton 25/10/17 League Cup

[Blues Harp]

How Mirallas, Lennon, McCarthy and Williams were in that side beggars belief....don't expect to see any of them in the starting eleven on Sunday..

Perhaps Rhino wanted the lads to build fitness as he wants to rotate... is my guess really.

I’d rather they built fitness in the u23s. That was our best chance of Europe next year & they were there for the taking.

 

[orly]

Yes mate.

That you can't accept this was a good performance and a bad result and you're slowly but surely joining the bedwetters guild with this persistent wumming and judging Rhino after 90 minutes of football. Didn't think you'd ever come to that, hope you're actually WUMming.

I've even said about four 'in times - if we want Unsworth, don't trial the man, give it to him.

But at least let's judge him by the same standards as any Everton manager.

If people can't see that Chelsea just stood off us in the second half, and we still managed less shots than against Lyon and Brighton, I can't help them.

This is not Orly vs Unsworth. This is me thinking 'that was more utter crap from Everton and I'm very worried about it'.

 

[maccavennie]

Me too mate. Apparently we all have to be enthused and delighted by that tonight.

Less shots than we managed against Brighton and Lyon and only one more than we managed against Arsenal.

Orly mate, your one of my favourite posters


So carry on regardless

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Where was Vlasic tonight? He's been one of our best this season imo.

Was wondering the same??

Sounds like your offering Unsworth out there mate, Orly v Unsworth could pocket everyone a few quid

Huge fan of yours MaccaFrandel, it's good that we can have debate

Injured mate, a bus landed on his toe on Sunday or something

He'd completely web me all over the show.

It's not how many shots you have it's how likely you were to score from them that counts and we created some good chances.

That was our best performance of the season. It wasn't perfect, no, but if it didn't give you a sense of hope after what we've suffered with Koeman then I don't think anything would have pleased you tonight.

Our team needs a lot of work, regardless of who the manager is. Unsworth, after having a day with them, has instilled more fight and team ethic than Koeman has up until now.

I'm positive going forward after that performance.

Got a bad bad feeling Williams will be.

Injured i think..hope he plays on Sun.

 

[mccole]

Our big problem was fitness in Lennon & McCarthy who cost us 2 subs but how did Koeman mess this up.

Play players in the right place, don’t over complicate the formation and fight.

That’s is the minimum we expect

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Well that’s not nice to imply about another member is it?

I have used the 'ignore' feature.
I guess that is the best solution.
Does that work both ways?

 

[Gladystweet]

Indeed.

If you are happy with that tonight. Fine.
If you are unhappy and expect better from Everton. Fine.

That is what a forum is about.

I want Everton to win every game.
Tonight was better but still ultimately not good enough. I want this club to succeed and a large overhaul of the defence and a lethal striker are needed asap or we are going nowhere positive.

Indeed indeed.
Everyone has to feel the same way apparently...
