Everton V West Ham FA Cup 6/01/15

...two aspects of the game, attacking and defending. Both are important but it's almost as though we are not coaching our defenders. Concerning in our predicament that players don't appear to know their defensive roles and responsibility.

Can't go out with the philosophy that if you score 2 we'll get 3. Need to work on that and be hard to beat.

What did that Ginger Bollocks say then when he was going off at half time?

"It's like their away from home?" Probably heard him wrong like.

I can't blame our midfield for the centre-halves not seeming to understand how gravity works.

Both of them are all over the shop.

I just can't get my head around it. Why just turn garbage.

BT sport being bellends

Feel we had to take those chances, can't see us keeping a clean sheet with jags playing like he is

Luckily Distin is picking up the slack so far.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Jags seemed to get all the blame at the World Cup and I really think it's screwed his confidence, he's not been the same since the summer.

I think Distin and Jagielka have lost their man love

Good: Naismith, Barkley and Besic but I think Besic could do with a bit more direction from Martinez.

The rest were okay, but Jags and Distin are a nightmare waiting to happen. Robles hasn't got a clue what to do out there, but he made a couple decent saves.

our lack of width is evident - west ham have a lot of space down our wings when we lose the ball. then again, if i was manager looking at our wingers, i would be wondering who the feck to pick as well

Well for me this performance so far has been an improvement. By no means great, but an improvement (guess it's not hard to improve on recent performances).

For one, we have actually challenged their defence and been brave enough to try through balls. The players also look like they're giving it a real go. Lukaku is getting a lot more involved and looks up for it(finally!).

However, we're STILL passing backwards all the way to the keeper at times(even the players look confused and frustrated by this) and I have nothing good to say about our defence.

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Attendance must be low. I've got enough network to log on here at half time.

 

[eurosrees]

Wish James and McManaman would p*ss off back to the 90's and stop talking absolute nonsense

Good: Naismith, Barkley and Besic but I think Besic could do with a bit more direction from Martinez.

The rest were okay, but Jags and Distin are a nightmare waiting to happen. Robles hasn't got a clue what to do out there, but he made a
couple decent saves.

when some people have an agenda, they stick to it

barry and howard have been worse than distin and alcaraz. 37 year old distin is having to do a two man job tonight, embarassing

Bit harsh on Howard, that. What with him not playing and all.

Yep. Mirallas and Barkley aren't the players who'll track the wings.

nor is alcaraz. i was presuming he/she was on about this season

 

[wellillwill]

Sometimes I wish we had the defensive and the offensive coaches like they do in american football,

We need the separate teams.
