Match Thread Everton v Luton Town - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Lob]

You just know there will be no changes at half time. The manager doesn't even know any are needed or he wouldn't have set it up like this in the first place. No jar of glue what he is doing.

 

[Bebeto]

As other results stand, if we can turn this around we'd be 6 points out of the relegation zone!!

Big if that...fed up that even against the worst team in the league, we can't even have an "easy" win at home.

 

[Runub]

By the way: a draw is a disaster...

But not as big a disaster as a loss

Lash Gana in a hot air balloon and just let him float far, far away from this club.

Better than how it stands now ..

 

[DanEFC92]

Get Beto and Harrison on.

There are some wild reactionary takes in this thread at present.

We were well on top in that half, simply our profligacy in front of goal costing us again. Defending for the set pieces was also poor.

However, look at the number of chances and indeed the quality of chances that we’ve created; Garner alone should’ve had a hattrick.

We fly out of the traps second half and play in the same way, whilst sorting out the marking from set pieces, then we come back to win this one.

i like your confidence!

At least we are winning the xg game

Literally every home game bar Arsenal. It’s exhausting. Got to win this one today.

 

[davek]

Can’t help but feel it’s better than a defeat though

Barely.

 

[Zatara]

This is as close to a must win as there could be.

6pts out of relegation if we were to win.

We need to be going after these at full throttle and not give away set pieces around the box.

Get the useless experienced players off and bring the best players on

 

[Jebus_lives]

Can we stop soiling our undies every time we play at home against a team we're expected to beat? That would be great.

Can't score + can't defend = defeat.

Even if we turn this around, I've lost confidence in our coaching staff due to set-piece goal concessions.

That effort when Doucoure rolled it back to him is amateur level, with the ball he wouldn't get in the Scunthorpe side

Sick of these hard luck stories.

 

[edge]

Same thing for the villa goal too wasn't it? Players all in a line clearing the ball straight to a villa player at the edge of the box.

Been like that all season.
The number of times we have nobody on the edge to pick anything up.
Honestly must be most of the goals agaist this season.
