Everton v West Brom. Sat 24th Aug. @ 15.00.

[Baines' left foot]

We were unlucky there. We played well at times but looked sloppy at others.

I said this after the last game but Kone looks better than Anichebe and Jelavic put together. He makes things happen.

 

[toffee-fellaini]

Mirallas was woeful today. What's happened to him?

 

[sageyefc]

liked kones cameo, he looked better than jelavic, we need to be shifting the ball around faster

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I think most of the posts in this thread truly belong in the kneejerk reaction thread. The manager's had two competitive games and people are writing him off. We've had a problem finishing teams off for years yet aome of you expect miracles
Chill. It'll come.

looking to improve our number of draws over last season...so far 100% so on track

Kone needs to start

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Kone was an absolute nothing signing and why does Leon Osman still get to play for Everton?

What's Steven Naismith doing getting a game and how is Jelavic ahead of Anichebe in the pecking order?

Martinez really is baffling at the moment, has his team playing a brand of football they're not comfortable with and is seemingly delighted with the striking options at his disposal.

Well, if he's happy with what he saw today we should all be very worried. Wigan mentality?

The problem with Martinez is that there's no plan B. The passing is nice when you're 2 goals up, but last 10 minutes at 0-0 and there is ZERO urgency. Think Howard even got booed for lack of urgency.

Only positive is Barkley again. Fellaini looks like his heart is set on United. And for those who are still hoping for Jelavic to find his scoring touch...think again. He is absolute garbage. He won't get 10 goals in the league this season. Mark my words.

I'm sure Kone could've got to the rebound off the post from fellaini's shot. He stopped instead of following it in.

 

[kenada_blue]

We had the better chances, There keeper got M.O.T.M

Its his second game in charge FFS, It was obvious this would happen if we failed to win, All the doom mongers out in force telling everyone what a crap season we are going to have

Its obvious to us and the manger that we need more quality in midfield but without money he has got to work with what he has, He will have the same problems Moyes had, People with short memory's forgetting how many times we failed to break down weaker teams at Goodison

This.

But no, it's fume city. We played like a league 2 side by the sounds of people on here.

 

[Joey66]

We had over 20 shots, that's pretty attacking like.

Hit the woodwork twice Osman looks off the pace needs replacing how he was not subbed was a joke imo!

 

[deipnosophist]

Jelavic is rubbish...Kone all day for me

 

[Ducans elbow]

poor......... next game start Vic and Kone sit ossie and Jelavic

 

[bluelife]

Martinez will say 'It was a frustrating game but we looked very positive and it's unfortunate we could not score today'

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Dreadful result. Simply have to put dross like WBA to bed at home. Not overly impressed so far with RM tactics. Has to improve drastically as the lack of any real goal threat is alarming.
