Everton v Crystal Palace. 21st Sep at 16.00.

[Kiwi]

Anyone saying play Hibbo at Right Back needs their head given a right going over by mental health specialists. The man has no go forward at all and would ruin us going forward as we'd lose all balance. With Coleman out Stones is the best option we have there.

Roberto lid that was one strange line up to start with,taking stones off was ridiculous as was leaving Osman on.
Howard, what was he playing at ? Looking back at those goals i can't blame jags or Distin,but i can blame Osman and Howard.[angry][angry][angry]
One of those weird but not so wonderful days at Goodison.

 

[Del]

While I do agree that he must be tearing his hair out it must also be questioned why such players who have been consistent performers over a number of seasons are now leaking goals all over the place, the management is not blameless here.

How can the backroom staff be blamed for seasoned pros making stupid errors during the game?

He's changed nothing from last season, Same back four, Same set up, Same tactics

Every game someone decides to have a brain fart that contributes to our down fall

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Lineup against Swansea.

Robles, Hibbert, Stones, Alcarez, Baines, Besic, Gibson, Mirallas, Naismith, Coleman, Eto'o.

Are you drunk?

 

[Deco]

Individual mistakes for all 3 of their goals.

Lukaku was poor today. As were most of the team with pretty much everyone holding onto the ball for too long before passing - allowing their pressure to shake us up and stop us from gaining any kind of real control despite what the possession stats will say.

 

[matty1878]

And giving teams there first win of the season is just Everton

 

[maurice]

hope we lose against swansea in the league cup so the defence will start crying.

 

[kenada_blue]

I [Poor language removed] knew this would happen. Knew it.

Throwing away games and relying on getting points from the top sides isn't going to work.

 

[bicycleheader]

No leaders on the field today. Rudderless

Disagree there. Barry was solid and did his utmost to push us on and keep momentum going. Not much he could do when a couple of his team mates mess up so badly.

 

[sweetlife]

I thought Atsu did well. Created 2 chances and unsettled them on their left side. Overall the team deserved to win but thats football!

 

[LAToffee]

And the penalty that "got us back in the game" was soft. As others have noted, we looked rudderless. Don't think anyone knew our shape by the end of the game. The only reason we looked like getting back in that game is because the opposition was crap.

 

[Kiwi]

We conceded on the right after we took Stones off and Speroni sent all balls that way knowing McCarthy was out of his depth.

We conceded because Osman was a [Poor language removed] tit. No other reason. If you lose the ball where he did you get punished end of.

 

[bluemangroup]

Oh how I hate to be proved right, what was ridiculous about it?

You're vaulting me straight after we lost? Well you're clearly not a massive [Poor language removed].

 

[Del]

That's it Del. People will point to Wigan and make a false connection about conceding goals. But Bobby can't force them to not make errors, and they're making some proper clangers at the minute.

Mate I was doing it when the 3rd went in, But once you calm down and look at the goals how can you point a finger and the manager

Martinez must be scratching his head wondering what some of these clowns are thinking when they're on the pitch lol
