Match Thread Everton v Luton Town - Waffle, Match Report and MotM Poll

[RomanReigns]

I’m at the stadium and there was no announcement of a VAR check at all after their goal. It was so weird. Just silence for 2 minutes and then they award the goal.

This is a disgraceful performance. There is not one player on his game. A team can carry one or two passengers not 6 or 7. I just can’t see where an equaliser is coming from never mind 2 goals. At least we can now concentrate on the inevitable relegation battle instead of being distracted by a cup run.

usual garbage as usual.

No actual football at all, just punt and run run run. Dyche has them working but not playing. We’ve been beat against Luton at home already this season. How do you not learn anything from that and take it into this?

Beto is awful and DCL is lacking any goalscoring touch. Why think pairing them together will work? This is the most ‘brexit’ style of ‘football’ that Dyche has ever served up.

See Ivan Toney’s blatant cheating free kick to understand the crap waffled in this new era of kissball

It's only the zeitgeist. Think of all the youngsters playing their video games & cheat codes. Against us those are allowed for the opponents.

When you have average players you need the manager to put together a sensible gameplan

This is the opposite of a sensible game plan. When the average fan can predict how this would go playing 2 target men up front, then it's absolutely fine to question the manager.

My opinion is that he has sent a team out there that haven't been coached and drilled properly. Not acceptable at this level.

442 doesn't work for us. I posted this yesterday .
But my point is if a player can't pass a ball 6 yards to a team mate then they will struggle in any system.
Manager needs to change it. But I'm not goin to fall into the same old trap of letting players off Scot free for not been able to do the absolute basics .

They are better than us which is a truly grim

This is a very tall and physical lineup from Everton and we’re literally being pushed around. Really disheartening

 

[ToffeeTim]

We're playing 2 strikers but both of them deserve to be subbed after that first half

 

[Jacob]

Disgraceful performance so far. No application, ability on the ball, cohesion, spirit. Id take either of the two dozy holes upfront off and throw Dobbin on now. At least he knows when to hit the ball and hard and cleanly too. Just see first if Dyche shakes them all up in the dressing room and we get bk in.

Woeful half which sums this team up ATM.... Sick of watching this crap week after week, all effort absolutely zero quality.

Luton have won the midfield
Luton have the possession
Luton look like they can score goals, we don`t, one tame effort on target for 45 minutes of toil
We lack composure on the ball, constantly passing to the opposition or flicking it out of play or to the opposition
We can`t get any possession because we are out numbered in CM
Wingers are tracking WBs so when we go forward DCL and Beto are isolated and the hold up play is crap, both have looked really poor this season and the goal return is next to nothing, they offer this team nothing.
The shape isn`t working but Dyche won`t change it, we will go 2-0 or 3-0 down before he can see the issues we can all see...

Pretty much everything wrong with that half, Luton doing us again.... no doubt their manager will come out yet again saying he knew they`d win.

Those thinking the days of winning 4 in a row are just around the corner again need to wake up, 1 win in 7 if we can`t turn this around, make no doubt the signs are all there we are in for a relegation fight to the wire again this season. Luton are no mugs, as much as some on here want to dismiss them completely, perhaps beating Everton twice at home this season might make some take notice especially as our next 3 are Fulham A, Spurs H and City A. We will not be getting anything from them and will be in the relegation zone following them as well..

 

[Victus]

Yeah Dyche needs to swerve the 442, it didnt work last time against these.

 

[Efcjake]

How is it? Why are we talking about the sex if the commentators?

I've completely misread that sorry

no we aren’t playing good yet

The team isn't set up to win the game
