Match Thread Everton v Brentford - Up for the Cup Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[edwardcrompton]

so far so good

Nice to just see some quick sharp link up passing for a change and a bit of agressiveness to win the ball back.

Think this time next year the team might look quite different, lads like Keane, Allan, Coleman have looked rough with the ball as expected and we've still got an issue in the final 3rd of not having anyone who really get's their head up to spot a final pass instead of tunnel visioning around the penalty area.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Frustrates me with Gray and Richie that they want to do everything themselves when others are in better positions

Wingers that came up as strikers tend to think like that. Guys like Muller and de Bruyne with a good positional sense of when to let the ball go are pretty rare.

Wtf is that Ivan Toney chant? 'kin weirdos.

Is it not in relation to his video that got posted?

 

[Parker]

Some kopite levels of self awareness from those Cockney weapons.

Singing "Your support is s***" while having 3000 empty seats next to them takes some nerve.

 

[Noble Savage]

Oddly subdued atmosphere, though it might just be my stream. Encouraging stuff, actually playing some footy through the middle of the park.

I'm not sure the crowd know what to do , it's been a long time since we haven't felt the need to boo after 1 minute .

 

[Zeitgeist]

Richarlison was good getting involved but very wasteful in decision making that half keep going UTFT

 

[Joey66]

Gomes has looked like an actual footballer again.

He's had midfielders to support him under Lampard ...

 

[random]

Excellent corner kick for the goal as well

 

[Frenk]

Mina is a great target man to have in the box for set-pieces, we really have not made use of him the way we should of. He should have a lot more goals.

 

[Mashtray]

This team with a midfielder like Dele or DVB can be cosy with the ball and dangerous on the counter.

Liking it.

Gota watch out for nervous moments from Keane an co.

Gomes needs to be calmer on the ball.

Our front three look threatening

 

[Debunkology]

But he struggles when they play us on the counter...looks to me that he his nowhere near full fitness yet.

Has Gomes ever been fully fit?

 

[mahermi1]

Can see Gray causing mayhem with that wind with his corners second half.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Moving the ball a lot quicker and our transition play is a lot faster.

Just shows what a tremendously crap coach el fatwah was.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Gomes is pathetic, isn't he? Yet again with his typical I'm-too-slow-so-I'll-pull-you-back yellow card, two games in a row now.

Keane has been terrible in his passing as per, and how Coleman is still trusted is beyond me. Hopefully Frank will see very quickly that he has to go.
