Everton v Spurs (9th Sept 3.00 KO)

[Paul E]

couldnt we play something like this?

Pickford
Holgate-Keane-Jagielka-Baines
Gana Klaasen
Rooney Sigurdsson Vlasic
DCL

Sandro, Davies, martina as alternatives depending on the opposition.
seems lot more balanced for me

That team upsets me.

 

[Niapper]

Wow.. Rooney has miskicked the ball 3-4 times in very good positions since he signed for us...

 

[brieverton]

We look as toothless as when we had to rely on John Spencer up front.

I don't accept that no decent strikers were available. That is just a massive cop-out, having had months to prepare.

It just reflects failure, and the acceptance of failure.

It is someones failure, and we are paying a heavy price.

 

[Gladystweet]

What's Mike Walker doing these days??

 

[Hantakun]

Martinez out

 

[EvertonRhys]

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

And we got a better result than the RS!

Yeah, there's always that I guess.

 

[Saaby]

This is really concerning that we are struggling to score goals. RK needs to get the balance right, play sig centrally and I hope to God Rooney isn't RK Cleverly.

Koeman needs to sort this out quickly or questions will start to be raised. He has spend 150m and we look worse than last year

 

[blue4eva77]

Atleast we didn't lose 5-0

What an embarrassing comment.

The cringe here

 

[BlueToff]

Proper crap like.

Crap performance. Gash tactics. Gash team selection.

They're miles apart from us when on form but we asked for it.

Pickford - 6 - Would've been loads more if not for him. Caught out for 1st goal like.
Martina - 2 - Crap at defending. He's half-decent getting forward. Only play him against tosh/as a wing back.
Keane - 4 - He was crap. He's class, but he was crap.
Williams - 2 - Gash.
Baines - 6 - Only one who tried second half.
Gueye - 4 - Looked leggy.
Schneiderlin - 3 - Anonymous.
Sigurdsson - 3 - see above.
Rooney - 3 - see above.
Klaassen - 3 - see above.
Sandro - 3 - see above.

DCL - 6 - starved of service. worked hard. provides pace, should have started.
Davies - 6 - stupid change. looked decent late on.
Vlasic - n/a

Koeman - 1 - got it massively wrong today. needs to learn quickly.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

That was bad!

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Disappointed doesn't come near unfortunately. DCL should have started, he could then have been substituted once he'd scored his hat-trick

even having valencia would be a huge improvement on what we have now

 

[Kenshin]

This is the result of having the tactic of no wide players, an attack line designed to support a striker who turned us down 2 months ago and playing to the non existent strikers strengths.

 

[blue4eva77]

And we got a better result than the RS!
