Match Thread Everton v Man City. 23rd August at 16.00.

.....it's the occasions he's not there that creates the problem. It's difficult because he's cutting inside to support Lukaku. There is no ur ball on the left, just think how often Baines picks it up in those areas.

Well that is a problem, and it is down to the way we're set up, but imo that's not Kone's fault, and the guy's doing all he can.

Be better if we played it differently, but I can't really fault his efforts so far.

 

[lungo]

Really doubt Browning would have done better. A 19 year old out of position against Man City, with no support ahead of him. Heck, Baines would have struggled there.

Yep . There you see Martinez is no tactician . He plays the some team then last week and lets pray.

I'd try and get Mirallas on, he'd have scored one of them free kicks on the edge of their box, best FK taker after Baines is Kev.

Instead of whom? Kone?

 

[banno]

they used a shedload of energy to pull us around that first 30 minutes mate as well, few older legs in their team such as toure may suffer later on

I agree. Will be more of a slower game 2nd half and think we will be more into it

 

[Eggs]

Thing is Cleverly is helping out Coleman very well quelling Sterlings threat and if we go for Mirallas or Del on that flank will they be able to do the same. We will offer more threat but will expose ourselves a bit more.

....which is why I said it will be a gamble. Saying that, Kone hasn't been effective defensively so we'll be no worst off.

That is very, very wrong, my friend.

 

[larbert toffee]

I am a Kone fan and always hoped he would come good after his bad injury, I think he has had a good game and aree he has caused City problems with his movement and his passing in the main has been accurate.

mate he did change tactics if you cant see that your blind

 

[Tubey]

He won't make a change lads. Not even criticising Martinez there; it's just he simply won't. 60 minutes in at least given he's already been forced into one, more than likely 70.

No.

Turn off the TV and go to bed.

No football for a month for you.

 

[Rook]

Eh?

There is also Graham LeSaux and that other dude.

mate the way the last 15 minutes went you have to say he shouldn't make a change yet really, make city change what their doing as right now we are looking the more likely

Im an Everton fan and always hope that every player Everton has got will come good.

The one time Kone was out left in an attack we had a goal disallowed.

The disallowed goal came from the left...

Hello...

 

[Seamus Colemole]

That Lukaku free kick is annoying me. From that close and without having to go over the wall just get the bloody thing on target, no nned to get over it and blast it over the bar.

Mind you, he probably tried to pass it *









*joke lads.
