Match Thread Everton 0-0 Brentford, Saturday 23rd November, 3pm

[Rodebaard]

Ever an opportunity to play 2 strikers this is it. We look very toothless with Gana and Doucoure in the middle... Is Garner fit?

 

[Daytripper]

Why? We're not exactly experts at opening up teams who sit back. Think patience is required

Because it will be another case of “here we go again “ isn’t it. All the crap that has been served up year after year, it’s not hard to understand why some people might get frustrated yet again.

Some people lost patience years ago and it’s no different to a lot of fan bases if they were served up similar,

pessimistic responses is a natural reaction to being let down time and again

I’m sure one someone will have an excuse, pick from:
Harder to play against 10 men
Brentford are miles ahead of us the results were always going to turn
No subs
The wind
The rain
Lampard (seeing as he’s back in the argument agenda)

This has already been used @Eggs and it’s only half time ffs

 

[Ring master]

And that precisely is the problem...

Off course but been far from a poor 1st half the way you say. At least we are attempting it, unlike most other games.

Garners out with a back injury

Problem is i dont think Dyche knows how to win this. I mean hes clueless. Prob bring Harrison on..

 

[gonetomorrow]

We can't put the ball in the net.

 

[Vintage]

Player up for the second half. Brentford havnt been particularly good anything less than 3 points now and Palace winning will be a shambles

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Our fullbacks are megabad going forward and our striker is providing little threat for months now. It would be hard for any team to perform under these circumstances. We play Doucore strictly so the former can get forward and they still provide next to nothing. Dyche will have to get creative but that isn't his specialty. Lol

 

[PeregrineT]

I like to fantasize every now and then

Id even go REALLY exotic and say he takes Doucoure off for Mangala who will be a much better passer in tight spaces!

 

[Clarky cat]

Fair play to Pickford, that challenge would have killed Van dike again or at the very least put him into a coma.

If Harrison comes on for Doucoure I wouldn't mind

 

[BigBeto1]

Another 1/10 performance from Mykolenko with the ball at his feet

 

[knowing your history]

And that precisely is the problem...

First 20 minutes was decent in the usual huff puff way. That Wissa chance was huge though and a great save from Pickford and then they had a few other situations.

Even with 10 men they could still scramble one in from a long throw but just need to get on the front foot and take some risks as a draw is no good today imo with the fixtures coming up.

 

[matty1878]

any manager with a bit of nous would make us break these down get the goal

then if they come out kill them off

i bet we don’t.

dyche worst manager in the league

brentford will not be bothered they have ten men
