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

[big nev lookalike]

No movement up front ,defence woeful again. The manager has not learnt one thing from our recent run. Just not good enough.Always hope that we can retrieve this in the second half but doubt it.

Who did say give Silva time until Christmas?

He's still got until Xmas next season for me

 

[banno]

Pundits having a dig at Pickford for being rooted on his line. Saying (for 2nd goal) he should be a couple of yards off his line so he will be better positioned to claim if possible.

Can we knock it on the head with the Howe shouts ffs. The man will never leave Bournemouth, he's made for life there

 

[hktoffee]

Yeah im sure he told Richarlison, go mark Jimenez on set pieces. But listen don't bump him, just let him get a free run while you stand still until ball is delivered. Good lad.

Can you explain this? This is how he setup a defence.

Well limp through this season...but you'd have to think we're relegation candidates for next year without massive changes

 

[BlueToff]

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

The two best teams in the country use zonal.

Also, that FK wasn't zonal marking. It was man to man.

 

[eurosrees]

Walcot offering nothing. Dribbles and losers it straight away. Bernard at least keeps the ball better

Must be what he’s told to do, He’s been doing that all season and seems to play more often than not, baffling.

 

[Berenger]

Is it true Neves moved the pen forward 10 yards and got away with it?

 

[Deleted member 38674]

It's just pathetic. I knew the second I saw the lineup that we'd just be gifting them the ball.

The bottom line is that we still have too many player that aren't good enough - but mostly because they are complete morons.

That doesn’t exactly ring true as 99% fans are venting their anger at Silva, which implies that 99% fans believe he should be doing much better with the resources he has.

FREE KICK TO OTHER TEAM GOAL

May as well give them a pen ffs

its absolutely pathetic at just how bad we are from these situations.

ive never known a team like it

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

The system isn’t really the issue. Plenty of top teams use zonal marking effectively. It’s the implementation and execution of it that has failed spectacularly.

I imagine it helps as a coach having a confident and commanding keeper and competent defenders, which we don’t seem to be blessed with.

These are fair points. Can we just not be crap then please.

 

[ProZ]

I want to see Marco paraded through the streets like Cerci Lannister while commoners shout shame at him and throw rotten veg at his head the bad fraud.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

What happened to the days when defenders actually marked a man, picked up the runners, and attacked a ball coming in.

Is it true Neves moved the pen forward 10 yards and got away with it?

Got a text from my mate at the game, apparently he requested to move it diagonally 30 yards outside the box, to increase the chances of scoring.
