We'll get battered by Wolves

We won’t though as there is no pressure on the weasels now.

 

[Fansince1988]

I've never even had that , we go back to day one born into it with our family and myself and everybody else are sick of the club more than we ever have been.

It’s the expectation from the money we have spent, we are so far away from where we should be. I think I prefer the relegation battle days when survival was our aim at least the player fought for the cause in them days

Theres something seriously wrong when so called professional footballers cannot even execute the very basics of the game with any degree of success. Passes delayed... straight to the opposition... underhit... overhit. Corners likewise underhit... overhit. Headers - anywhere will do apparently, direction unimportant...or defensively alarmingly not even attempted giving the opposition no challenge. Theres hardly an embarrassed grimace from the culprits either now or annoyance at themselves. Its a disgrace....and apparently one that is allowed to lumber on.

 

[Tigger]

Jesus wept, no defending this rabble.

Think Carlo has to show a bit of mettle here and just dump most of them and get as much as possible and re-start the re-build. That partnership up front just doesn't work. They lose possession far to easy and my god getting possession back is even harder than keeping possession. Team does not work for each other enough.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Why does he even put Nkounkou on the bench? Lad never gets a sniff. Not saying he’s good enough but it’s pointless having him even in the team if he’s deemed not good enouhjz

A season that sums up this football club. Address the away form which has been poor for years, winning more than half the games away, and to compensate for that progress let home form go down the drain. 9th defeat of season at Goodison, including defeats to the mighty Fulham, Newcastle, Burnley.

 

[blueconverse]

Think i will watch again next season. No point until we have a massive clear out and hopefully Carlo gets backed

 

[mahermi1]

Man of the match, no one, because no one in a blue shirt deserved it.

 

[lancs blue]

I feel sorry for the poor suckers going to thr wolves match. I joined the balot not to get a ticket

 

[deipnosophist]

I don't want to go all Bridge on the River Kwai over this, but having an intended Blue Chrimbo panto set in Japan was always going to cause issues imo. Can't blame the players really.

 

[Vortexgaz]

Ferguson for teamtalks, Carlo for everything else.

What for his garbage tactics

 

[TheNinja]

Was anyone remotely surprised by this performance?

I have some major questions. Why did we not look remotely bothered? Sheff Utd didn't even need to play that well, they scored but didn't even have to sit back.

Why do we never bust a gut to get back into a game? WE'RE CRAP
Why do we never make teams defend for their lives when leading against us? WE'RE CRAP
Why do we never shoot? WE HAVE NO PLAYERS WITH THAT ABILITY
Why do our corners never clear the first man (also why do we love to have a silly little fracas before every corner we take?) WE'RE CRAP
Why do we change our whole formation, remove a defender and bring on an attacker yet show zero distinguishable difference in how we play? HOPE
Why do our players run from the back into space only to then turn around and play it right back to the position they have just ran from? NO PACE OR MOVEMENT
Why does nobody make a run? SEE ABOVE
Why do we never play a ball in front of a team mate for them to run on to? AND AGAIN
Why do we never close down shots from just outside the area? WE HAVE NO CLUE WHAT WERE DOING
Why do we constantly leave players unmarked in the six yard box? (and not just young lads making their debuts but Harry Kane...twice!) NO ORGANISATION
Why do we keep passing it around the back for no apparent reason only to then hoof it upfield as soon as the opponent regroups (or hoof it out of play) NO PACE, MOVEMENT OR ABILITY
Why do we still continue to pass the ball around the back when the pitch is a bog due to ridiculously heavy rain? JUST TRYING TO FIND SOME SPACE TO LAUNCH A BALL INTO THEIR KEEPERS HANDS

These are far too many questions for me.

ANSWERS ABOVE...

 

[Mark barnett]

Laughing stock yet again, we threw in the towel at half time when dcl and richy spurned there chances

 

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

Digne. 0 votes. About right

When was the last time he put in a good cross or corner? After that performance I wouldn’t be arsed if he left this summer
