Everton v Spurs (9th Sept 3.00 KO)

[TheAlmightyFloater]

What an utter shambles of a first half.

Pickford - does the best with what he has. Caught out by that accidental Kane goal and did well to stop Davies' shot and had no chance with Erikson's.

Martina - what are you doing you utter buffoon.

Williams - bad

Who do we have playing up top? As far as I can see Rooney wants to come deep (getting in the way of Siggurdsson and Klassen) and Sandro is trying to cut in from outside. We have NO outlet to ease pressure which is the direct result of not replacing Lukaku.

We look really bad.

 

[Tin-Tin]

I can't think of a scenario in which we properly attack and score

abolutely toothless

Or dont conceede another

 

[Eggs]

...whilst we continue to look impotent, the biggest concern is that we look wide open at the back.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

We have played some decent football in spells but the lack of a CF is haunting us. We just cannot penetrate them. Martina is great at crosses but defending he is a liability. Klaassen is not a good player when we are on the back foot but looks better when we are in the accendancy. Spurs just seem to have spare players all over the place and Schnides and Guaye not protecting the defence very well. Pickford unfortunately has to hold his hands up to some fault in both goals.

Why do we need players who are great at crosses when we don't have a CF?

 

[BigBlueConk]

Well this is all a bit pants is't it, I was a bit concerned seeing the team at the beginning, Klaassen, Siggurdson and Rooney are all most effective when playing in the same role just behind the striker, you need one of them in, not all 3.

There is no width in the team, and now our defense which looked relatively solid at the start of the season seems to be crumbling.

Genuinely don't know what we can do second half to fix this now.

Watch with closed eyes. This remInds me of playing the RS under RM!

 

[Gladystweet]

I'd settle for 2-0 right now.

But I fear the worst.

 

[Pettifogger]

What is he offering us right now?

Zero pace, slow as a snail.

Rock solid reliable going forward. I don't disagree that there is no place for 3 in the same role, but there is just so much Davies bitterness when it comes to Klaassen.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Just bring two subs on Ron, I don't care if we lose 0-5, just change it.

 

[Bourney]

Only we can spend a [Poor language removed] load of cash and end up a lot worse off

 

[Zeitgeist]

Where is lookman?

 

[NZtommy]

[Poor language removed] everton. Its three in the morning here you tits.

 

[Kev50]

why weren't Davies and dcl playing, and instead Sandro and Klassen who cllearly haven't settled yet.
I accept Ronald isn't a manager, he's here 'just to coach'
well, I gotta say, I can't see where the ten million in fees he's charged us for 'just coaching' has gone

 

[BigBlueConk]

To scapegoat one player is nonsense when 9 of them do not deserve to wear the shirt on that half.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Koeman's visible lack of blame acceptance or leadership is especially galling when we go behind. Arms folded, sulky chops. Doesn't inspire.

Well look at it this way, without Lukaku that's one less talented player for Koeman to alienate
