[Lloydystark]

We’re crap. Crap tactics, slowest squad in the league, no strikers, no wingers, boring to watch....

Unfortunately, it's hard to argue with that, especially the boring to watch part.

 

[fabricsince1985]

It might be that some teams don’t really want it, but after they watch us for half an hour or so they realise they have nothing to fear and start to “ want it”

I think it's a v simple tactic teams are using on us already. We're v rigid in our style of play and it doesn't help that our squads not good enough beyond the first choice XI.

What, Mr underachievement having more influence than Carlo? Give over mate we want to go forward not back to the days of plucky Everton knowing their rightful place behind the sky super 6. I'd much rather be here than there, even though today was torture.

Thats exactly where we are now right behind the top 6....West Ham in a position to move back nto top four if they beat Liverpool tomorrow and Moyes at least has fashioned a team of battlers from what was previously a team of no hopers ..Simply an observation no more no less!!!!

I think we definitely have a top six squad. I think we have more depth than, say, Spurs.

No chance mate.

Godfrey didn't deserve to be dropped.

 

[gonetomorrow]

We were lucky to get away with a result against Leicester who were far superior to us for the entire game.

We got our comeuppance today. Welcome to reality. We are actually hopeless.

I suggest punting it up to the big fella. It's the last resort.

 

[Stephenlloyd]

What I would do for a midfielder who comes short, receives the ball from defence and goes forward.

Harry Winks would be perfect.

He’s rubbish, bang average another over hyped English player, playing for a cockney club. Add him too. Ali, the Ox, Wilshire, loftus-cheek, Walcott. Rice( though to be fair he’s improved)
Abraham, Dier, the list is endless

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Godfrey didn't deserve to be dropped.

Think we missed the aggression that both Godfrey and Holgate show. They may be playing out of position but they get in the oppositions faces and both have a bit snide about them.
Just got to pick ourselves up for the next game. I hate Newcastle

Show your working out.

Should be right back at worst. Or CB. and Holgate RB. Never ever want to see Coleman again

I know it might be hard to believe, but at the moment moyes' West ham play a better brand of football than us, well, at least more watchable. We are a very negative team. At least West ham can put more than 3 passes together without giving up possession. Everton park the bus and try and hit on the break a lot of the time, a bit like mourinho 's spurs. The difference being that spurs have fast, mobile players like son, bergwijn kane etc where it can be effective. We don't. I don't like the negative style and I'm glad spurs aren't generally profiting through this crap style of football. We certainly won't with our players. our squad offers very little in terms of options. The slowness throughout it is ridiculous.

Bruce has said "when we're fit, that's what happens"

Which really means, "when we play the bottle jobs Everton, that's what happens"

They had Andy Carroll on bench. We'd have been better with someone like him up front and playing long ball.

Mate no chance. It’s like the Moyes days. Our first 11 can compete with anyone but our subs bench (bar central defence and LB) is terrible. We had no one today who could come on and change the game.
