[streeky]

4231 every week ,dosn't work but who cares. i'm the boss so we play it.

 

[Ring master]

I was happy to hopefully have got in 1-1 as i thought we were pretty bad at times,but as ever Everton just dont do that conceeding at the worst time,Wolves have played very well probably helped by us been so rubbish defending

 

[Frang]

Eddie Howe and well organised in the same sentence mate lol

level on point with us , having spent about 2% of what we have on players in the last 10 years.

says a lot that.

hes very obviously making mediocre players play to the very best of their ability.

seeing as we wont have any spending power for the next window or two , he might just do us .

The two best teams in the country use zonal.

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

I couldn't care less about system. I want to see us looking organised. Whatever way we mark up we look a rabble. If you can't coach set play defending then you are a poor manager. It's that simple. No team in history has not faced free kicks into their 18 yard box.

Woke up just in time to see Snail Keane needlessly give away a foul and I thought ‘goal coming up’...and so it was.
We are not very good at defending set pieces are we?
I am frustrated but hope GP gets behind our lion-hearts in the second half....I want the knob on here who keeps boasting about his bet against Everton to lose his 100 quid

Pretty obvious it was meant to be man to man and yet watching Coleman and Keane neither moved.

Cant see how the manager can be blamed at all.

He's still got until Xmas next season for me

Same for me, it’s just getting harder and harder for me to justify why lol

 

[Sy-]

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.

It's pretty straight forward stuff tbf, but I'm sure he'll make a hollywood save at some point and everyone will turn a blind eye to his obvious flaws.

 

[Blues Harp]

Our defensive record at home is shameful. Silva should be utterly embarassed. He's on course to outdo Martinez.

Please no.....don't want to go through that garbage again..........seems like he is heading for a 're run

 

[Tel001]

He's still got until Xmas next season for me

Trouble with that is , if we carry on this form we will be in a relegation fight at Xmas next year

 

[WA Toffee]

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

Nope. I wouldn’t think that all

 

[Bkk Andy]

Apathy has well and truly kicked in. It's difficult to care when I'm watching the same crap week in week out.

 

[Kure]

The Eddie Howe shout is a decent one. I reckon he'd do a good job here.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Like the Can-Can exercise lineup from Wolves

 

[Jreverton1]

Ha. Fair enough. Why is it that managers in general are stubborn. Our players clearly can’t do zonal marking so change! Silva should adapt. Same with Martinez’s time, he didn’t adapt

This is what worries me, it's the players not the tactics it seems with him. We're not going down but we definitely haven't improved or have shown signs of improvement so where do you go? Changing managers every 2 mins won't help but how long do you give him?
