Everton v Stoke City. 28th Dec at 1500.

[Stutheblue]

19 goals conceded in 10 home games. Not good enough. 3 home wins in 10. Not good enough. Goalkeeper not good enough. We'll stay mid table whilst we can't win back to back games. On positive note we're great goin forward but we've conceded 7 goals at home to Leicester and Stoke. Not good enough. Our forwards must be frustrated.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

surely this game must be replayed as ref took our point away?

forwards are probably even more frustrated when they get no service and chances at all. Like I remember us to be not many years ago.
the defensive stuff though.. really needs to be fixed. probably at cost of our play going forward.

 

[deipnosophist]

3 penalties conceded in the last 2 home games. No penalties awarded us the whole season

Well i hope the replay is going to be played at Wembley in February.

...Lukaku was tremendous, 3 goals should be enough to win any game at the top level.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Well i hope the replay is going to be played at Wembley in February.

And you'd expect us to win then?

 

[Norwegian Cow]

theres only one man that can fix our defence... step forward

 

[benditlikebainesy]

4 centre midfielders on the bench and no Mirallas or Lennon was absolutely baffling

when you've got deulofeu going on his arse at every opportunity (As well as non-opportunity...)

 

[The Mighty Quint]

The three teams we've been since September are in the bottom three

These stats just keep coming, shambles at the back we are and have been all season, yet the there is zero progress at making it better under this manager.

The only way to prove it was not a pen would be to appeal Stones' card. Even over on the Stoke forum, they're saying it was a massive stroke of luck.

Then again, you make your own luck, and instead of taking the impetus and getting a fourth, we sat back and that happens. We'll finish mid-table this year for that reason, and down to RM's stubborness and in-ability to defend.

I don't want him out, but I would hope he would finally wake up. Unfortunately he doesn't appear to be doing so.

Too true. I'm still behind giving RM til the end of the season but if we're bottom half again then it's time to assess our options at the very least.

Well Robles is our cup keeper and Jags will be back i hope.

Anyway better Stoke than the other option.

 

[oldblue]

Is it always this bad on here after a game? There's a lot more right than wrong about this side and it's not going to take much to turn it round if we're patient. We're not defending well but how many of you would drop Stones who was easily our worst player today? Players have to learn together what it takes to win.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Well Robles is our cup keeper and Jags will be back i hope.

And osman might start, too.

yippee.
