Everton v Sporting Lisbon - Sat 5th Aug - 3pm KO

[God Benfrey]

Gyokeres looks a real handful for those questioning if he could handle the "physicality " of the prem. spent that whole half bullying our defence and should have had 3 assists

Look more solid and confident than last season also great see onana pushing forward. Is better from us still add some more attackers have to be added to the team but promising

Positives - we’ve got a good physical spine with Tarks, Onana, Doucoure and DCL, we’re not going to get bullied or out muscled in to many games. Young is an upgrade on Myko at left back, that’s how bad Myko is.

Negatives - we don’t have anyone who can beat a man so it’s pass into midfield back to defence, get pressed and then long ball. Need to hope Danjuma makes a difference in that area.

In summary we’ll be workman like and physical and hope that’ll grind out enough points to stay up. It’s probably as good a plan as any with the finances we have.

What the score?

 

[Dharma]

paid for the game last week. and this week its free. prolly just the it depts incompetence rather than generosity

It has been free every week.

 

[JLW]

Absolutely. No creativity or goals in it.

Seeing too many people seemingly settled on the midfield like it isn't a glaring issue. It's pony and trap.

Yes, hence why we can never play a 2 man midfield against any team or we get overrun.

I have now seen the highlights of the 1st half they missed chances early on

I agree but 2 attacking options and a CB is still priority for me. Not got confidence in Godfrey or Keane and I do feel it's a bit too much pressure to solely rely on a 20 year old.

I think hoof is a little harsh. He’s got it to a blue shirt and often to feet every time

They’ve tried playing it out, it goes to midfield and goes nowhere.

It took us 30 minutes to register a shot, playing little short passes look great but we have no end product

 

[nsno-chris]

I sense fear in your heart, stay strong brother, we won't be playing 5 CMs in league games.

It reverts to 5 at the back at times, garnet fills in at right back and patterson moves in

Take your pick of the 5’s

 

[Sona]

Decent first half performance against a good side. Plenty of positives

Also as always we look like we just make it up as we go along, no patterns of play or style.

Its just get the ball control it and see who's available.
