Everton play like 'Stoke'

[noharmdone]

Just looked up Crouch's and Jelavic's international goal scoring stats.. No contest mate.

If England ever played Spain in a competitive game i think our best option would be to go with Crouch, Carroll and Rooney up front and by pass the midfield, they wouldn't know what to do.

^^^^ This.... England would destroy them.



Michael owen would even score more than rooney if played up front with them two.

Ino this as been done already but why is it so bad doing long balls the whole point of football is to get the ball in the net and to do it in the easyist possible way so why do people complicate it with loads of little passes an then wounder why its still 0-0 at 90 minuets because you just wasted possession by passing it around the back instead of going straight for the jugular by direct play and make your opponents sh*t there selves after wave and waves of attack

I think you may be on to something. Please send this post to FC Barcelona. They might start scoring some goals and actually winning stuff instead of fannying around for 90 minutes only to find it's still 0-0.

I agree with that mate love watching everton because they mix it up pienaar and baines link up is a great thing to watch but what I'm saying is that I'd rather watch direct atacking with more long balls than watching the team keep the ball In there own half for ages as football is good when teams attack not hold onto the ball just for the sake of it

No.team keeps hold of the ball just for the sake of it. they keep hold of it because A) while you have the ball, the other team can't score and B) you can possibly find a way through the opposition defence more effectively than a long ball over the top most og the time.

I agree with you that mixing it up is probably the better option for most teams though. Ther needs to be variation in the play.

Barry Horne praises Gerrard for 'showing class'::

"It is perhaps strange for an Evertonian like myself to confess my admiration for a man whose very name is synonymous with the red half of Merseyside, as Steven Gerrard’s is... Steven Gerrard realised quickly that his comments comparing Everton to Stoke were, at best, ill-advised, at worst downright wrong.But again, he could not have been more frank in his apology, and his words, heart-felt as I believe they were, should help draw a line under an issue that had the potential to get a little out of hand."

What a joke.


Better from Moyes http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/nov/02/everton-david-moyes-criticism-liverpool But he should have been out with this right after Gerrard backed up Rodgers' comments on Monday.

He didn't bloody apologise though, unbelievable from Horne that.

Seen those SKY c***s taking the piss there before...Pinocchio leading the way.

Job done as far as the manslaughterers are concerned.

Pretty deftly handled, I think. The bit about United is pleasing certainly.

Couldnt agree with you more. It wasnt so much an apology from Starfish as an attempt to actually justify his vilification of us and his questioning of Moyes as a man. ("I was annoyed about the goalnot being given). Horne must be naive.
