Match Thread Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[atrottel]

Positivity (really?)
Branthwaite looked x times better than Keane (he'll probably get injured in the midweek tie)
Dobbin held his own against a Portuguese international full back
Doucoure had one of his MotM games

Added: if DCL, McNeil, Iwobi and Harrison return from injury and we sign an auxiliary striker, we might be OK.

Another weak another loss. Setting ourselves up nicely for another final day survival story. Its all going to plan

The final day isn't Boxing day mate, which is when we'll be dead and buried by at this rate

p
well i’m sure we would up our
game

Official ratings:

Pickford - 5 - Almost cost us a goal due to indecision, should have been out for their actual goal. Agree
Patterson - 4 - The lad's got nothing about him at all. Agree
Tarkowski - 4 - Looks awful. Some captain's performance that. Terrible in possession, terrible first touch, and terrible attempt at marking for their goal. Disagree
Branthwaite - 7 - Did nothing at all wrong and looked very calm on the ball. Agree
Young - 3 - Absolutely atrocious today, definitely not the answer. He must have floated the ball slowly into the goalkeeper's arms over 10 times. Disagree
Onana - 3 - Yet another anonymous performance to go with the rest of them. Terrible, offered nothing whatsoever. Disagree
Gueye - 3 - Finished. Nothing else to say. Disagree
Doucouré - 5 - Energetic but quality-wise appalling. That header simply had to go in and he didn't even connect with it properly under no pressure. Disagree
Garner - 6 - Again played in a position he doesn't want to be in. Either play him central or don't play him. Better yet put him right back in place of the Scottish crab. Agree
Dobbin - 5 - A few nice flicks but looked extremely lightweight and Semedo had him in his pocket while he was on the pitch. Agree
Danjuma - 6 - Looked ok, positive at least but initial thoughts are he'll struggle to get more than a few goals this season. Disagree

-

Dyche - 5 - I respect the fact he finally made the necessary changes to his team and it's not his fault he's got a Championship squad. For once not an awful lot he could do about it. Disagree

Dobbin done nothing against Semedo.

I don’t blame the manager for much of our current situation but he does really need to address our set pieces.

We had a decent set of corners and if we aren’t scoring from open play then those chances are even more important to get right.

Everybody waiting for the Arsenal game?

 

[GwladysNearlyOver]

we’ve battered them you utter utter gimp

Expected Goals: 1.2 v 1.16
Possession: 47% to 53% (in Wolves' favour)
Chances Created: 8 v 8

Where is this battering? Everton had more corners at least...

 

[matty1878]

We couldn’t even draw against them, so we couldn’t have ‘quite easily’ beat them both.

Maybe if we had different players in the same circumstances then they could’ve been easy wins. But we don’t, we’re awful.

sorry lad this is wham.

the players now created more then enough

 

[BrendanGOT]

I think this is the season we go down. Throwing away points. We should have 6 points today.

 

[Tel001]

We signed one. But the one we chose to sign is injured because of course he is

He’s LW isn’t he?

Negatives: we lost. I mean I agree with you, but that's what is frustrating.

 

[Walken]

Wolves missed a sitter
Pickford had a very good game
The linesman already had his flag up and VAR confirmed it. That's not a call going against us, that's just offside.
They didn't have just the one shot on target.

It's a sickener but lets not start seeing things that aren't there. None of it applies to the drubbing against Villa for instance.

lol lol lol
