Everton v Leicester City. 22nd Feb at 14.05.

[Joey66]

Our midfield is set too far back to create anything back to the tippy tippy sidewards passing - one shot by Besic in 45 mins - totally static midfield only Besic looks like he can run - RB back to goal? Very little creation- and our defence looks full of panic?

 

[Ducans elbow]

Sort it out Bobby FFS, Naismith off Kone on and get the ball up front as quick as possible.

This please now

Naismith has been our only player who looks interested, and the only one who looks like he could be productive. Barkley..sorry , but he looks finished to me.

lol

 

[banno]

Leicester started to dominate towards the end of that half. They are doing a good closing down job on us and we are making mistakes.

I believe the game of football is still 90 minutes.

Pipe down plotters*, you're made up really.

[hktoffee]

Same old. Our play is just too slow. Play Mirallas and Lennon together.

We are playing the bottom team at home ffs. We need to win this.

 

[DualityNSNO]

So it's the system then isn't it?

FFS you always have to be right don't you?

 

[Jib in lad]

Zzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Eggs]

Exactly. We are playing the worst team in the league at ours and making them look half decent. They have 5 at the back. How can lukaku play up there by himself. What's wrong with being more direct with 2 up front

....that would mean Barkley playing wide. I just wonder if Besic off (don't shout) Gibson on and MCCarthy pushing into his usual role. Gibson has the better passing range from deep and it might give a better balance.

Sort it out Bobby FFS, Naismith off Kone on and get the ball up front as quick as possible.

He wont take of Naismith. To important working back. Covering a lot of space in the middle and on the left. So take of Barkley who is really useless. Lukaku gets no sevice but he has no clue how to time is runs and he he is wasteful with the 2 or 3 chances he gets.

 

[SH1958]

Most everybody disagree. We are way too good for relegation. The League table does lie sometimes....we are way better than 12th

I bet a few teams have thought that then got relegated

Deffo the system.
We have learned nothing from the west brom game.
Martinez is scared and that gets to the players.
They are bottom and we have 2 defensive midfielders and 1 striker

100% agree. So much negativity

 

[Professor Toffee]

Bring on the plastic pitch at half time

 

[eurosrees]

Please Martinez, please please play a winger on the right, it's utter madness that Nasmith is given the Messi role and the right hand side is left empty. Lukaku has had the worst game I've seen him play today, I don't think he likes playing at Goodison much, the crowd is rightfully angry at how crap he is.
