Match Thread Everton v Borehamwood - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[longers]

I try to not judge performances too harshly when the other side literally parks the entire team in their box, doesn't matter what level they are at its always awkward playing against setups like that provided they can maintain some form of shape which they managed to quite well.

Its not easy breaking down 2 parked buses, no matter what league they're from.

Bottles and flares might have helped, but then again we're not Idiots FC.

Whinge about average players all you want but that is yet another game where Lampards tactical approach is leaving a lot to be desired imo. C'mon Frank step it up a notch.

Na. All on the players that. Tactics were fine, certainly for Boreham Wood anyway.

Did everything but spank them by 4 or 5 really..

Just don't really have the players in the final third, especially when you start with the lineup we did. Richarlison didn't even really do anything but just added one more competent player which was enough.

Any idea what the fuss was about with the away end?

Been a very long time since we have had a possession stat like that.

Great display from the lads. Broke down a team parking the bus and playing levels above how they perform week in week out because of the occasion. Some passing needs to be sharper from Doucoure but he's just getting sharpness back. Kenny changed the game second half. Rondon getting a brace will be good for him. Great learning experience for the lads.

 

[Simon Buttle]

You can't serious expect we'd have gone from the dog pile served up by Carlo and Benitez to smooth attacking play in like two months

No of course not, I just don't want to see 3 at the back that's all. We will never have smooth attacking play anyway as it's far too modern for most of our fanbase

 

[Curtis]

Comfortably??.

Everton's offensive forays were pretty shambolic but they didn't threaten Everton the entire game so in that sense I get what hes saying.

 

[Blue Roo]

That was Lampard's masterplan to lull Tottenham in a false sense of security. Genius Franky

 

[MikeH72]

I despise them. Half of them can’t pass a ball. A load of kids come on and all of a sudden can put a few passes together.

Keane Kenny Coleman are complete toilet

Richarlison was absolutely AIDS too btw.

 

[Ring master]

A win is a win, no matter how it comes about, better 2nd half but still felt like we should do a lot more

 

[Abertonian]

Got the win and through to the next round at the end of the day that's all that matters.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

That Kane Smith was 100% still injured.

No chance he was ever missing this game though

Yeah fair play to him, we’d have all done the same given the opportunity! Imagine getting clapped off at Goodison - quality

Was never going to be a 5-0 blitz if we didn’t score early. They’re clearly well organised and tired to wastes the end.

Job done. Second half much better. Nice to see young lads get time.
