Everton 2-1 Real Betis Sunday 11th August

Just very compact from both sides. While they get close to the man with the ball, we're not.

However, when we do click is looks good.

Barkley off the striker just doesn't work either. Fellaini a big miss to replace.

He could probably do it in time but he seems to be too concerned with keeping possession and helping his midfield colleagues. We need someone in that position with more drive to get forward.

Playing like we're away.

You're right. Just difficult to watch some of these unforced errors.

 

[KevMirallas]

Missing Fellaini badly.

Sharp and his Plan B: Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wat Tyler]

Playing like we're away on a stag do.

Fixed mate

No pressing in midfield AT ALL.

Fellaini on a bad day still hounded players.

I'm surprised that Martinez hasn't put Pienaar in central midfield. His work rate is always top, he's strong and can win a foul or two. He's also our most intelligent player. He would be a step up there from Osman and Barkley.

Not looked threatening at all yet.

 

[Efcjake]

Neither Gibson nor Osman are having any sort of influence on this match at all.

ugggghhhhh

 

[somuchfun]

Why is Howard doing his piss poor long openers?

 

[Sharpattack]

We are totally devoid of any penetration whatsoever

 

[MickM86]

So is this free on Everton TV? If I just log on it will come on?

 

[ijjysmith]

Gibson is having a terrible game
