Match Thread Everton v Wolves - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Efcjake]

Imagine not being able to give set pieces away because you’re about 80% likely to concede from the resulting kick

All this kicking off over conceding the foul is ridiculous.

Has everybody forgotten when we used to be in a state of not bricking it every time we gave a free kick away?

This isn't normal. This is badly crap.

 

[Joey66]

hopefully he will bring on walcott for the 2nd half

Take him off he's freezing the corner flags done more than him - we need three men in midfield v these.....

 

[Greengrass]

And hopin we lose. Top Blue.

Nothing to play for. Seen the best of Everton and the worst. This is the worst AND I want SILVA OUT ASAP !!!

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I don't understand the defense on that set piece at all. I've constantly defended Silva, but how on earth can you just hand Raul Jimenez an open header on the 6?

 

[ForeverEverton]

Wolves much the better side and probably deserve to be ahead, FWIW I think the game is gone now, need another 2 goals to win. Not happening and Wolves will add yet more, should be more!

 

[BlueToff]

Are people REALLY blaming the defenders for not being coached/drilled into defending set plays??

If it was that simple clubs wouldn't pay millions of pounds for coaches they would bring in Terry from down the local ffs.

Get this clownshoe out the door he's a shambolic manager.

We are blaming the defenders for not picking up their men. That was man marking. Not zonal.

I am blaming Keane for dragging Jota down 30 yards from goal when he was going nowhere and Zouma had the ball. Yes.

 

[kenada_blue]

We will never progress if we can't defend

It was man marking.

Nobody picked him up.

Players.

 

[BrexiTrumPutin]

Decent game so far. Everton to win 3-2

 

[hktoffee]

Listen that has nothing to do with Silva, Richarlison falling asleep.

It’s his bloody problem he is the manager who chose the tactics.

 

[Blue Juice]

Walcott is unsurpsingly absolutely anonymous

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

At what point do you accept zonal is crap. Everyone knows zonal is crap.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Daft free kick from Keane.

But you have to defend set plays no matter how good you are. That was disgraceful. Mismatches everywhere. Small players marking big players. No one wanting to win a header. It's tragic stuff.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

So a pen and a stupid freekick have put us 1-2 down, we constantly give teams goals, it's infuriating.

 

[BlueToff]

We'd actually played decent after the goal.
