Everton v Norwich City - EFL Cup - Tuesday 20 Sept, 19.45 KO

Definitely missing a focal point up front. We're finding it hard to break these down for all our possession and they score with their only, mis hit, [Poor language removed]. Everton that

Shows just how bad our squad is though, which is good for the manager, I guess. Imagine having to rely on Lennon, Cleverley, Mori, Valencia in the league for an extended period of time. No Lukaku and no quality replacement in January and we're amongst the worst in the league. Painful.

That's why people were annoyed at the window.

Gueye was good again though, dude is consistent as ****

I hate to praise Liverpool for anything but I love the way Klopp has the team starting fast and furious. With us it's all so sedate.

 

[Milkman]

Cleverley is dire.

Been one of our better players mate?

 

[Khalekan]

Chelsea now conceeded two goals by inches

And now scored one by inches lol

Those three goals were a combined total of about fifteen inches over the line.

Lads hard to tell on the stream are Evertonians applauding Naismith goal?

Yes.

 

[mawders]

has martinez taken charge for this game?

Interesting to see what Ron does here tactically, they are defending super-wide and snuffing our wing play.

Usually that opens up things in the middle but Ross is having a mare again, Mori doesn't look right at LB, Cleverly probably one of our better players so far, very tidy.

Curse of the league cup

Awful martinez type performance that. Only gueye and cleverley had a good half. Rest were gash. And I dislike the clev

Deulofeu is also going backwards as a player. Say it every time he plays, but does he just not have the ability to take on players any more? Thought he was meant to be lightning fast and tricky? Loses the ball every single time. Barkley... needs dropping for a few weeks, stinking the place out every game, and when he's not playing badly he's just going through the motions at best.

Been one of our better players mate?

In what game? This one? Ha ha. He's been awful

Honestly be amazed if we see Barkley 2nd half, could argue he's been even worse than at Sunderland.

Attack wise they could all be thrown off but Ross and Del have constantly lost the ball. Holgate had a shocker on the goal, Naismith dragged him right in and was already running in behind before Holgate got tight to him, inexperience or not Naismith showed him up.​

Barkley never stops to amaze me. So talented, but yet he rarely delivers. I'm afraid the potential that's in him is never going to be unlocked.
