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

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I have give it to yerry mina. Done absolutely nothing wrong. Accurate passing, swivel of the hips sends opposition player the other way allowing himself more time and space to play the ball. Just a solid uncomplicated game from him and defensively sound.

Keane was the good and the not so good.
Godfrey for all his speed had a decent game but one of a few who could not handle that adama very well.
Digne couldn't handle Adama at all but offensively put in some good crosses
Allan good and bad
Doucoure see above
Siggy usual overstretching for passes that shows his age but had a couple of decent shots which showed he was trying to be more positive
Richie one of his better games both offensively and defensively. He actually tried tonight
DCL meh!!!
Pickford was sound as he has been for a good while. Seems to have got rid of his demons
Coleman put in the shift but is lacking

Still a game of individuals and not much team ethic. Still struggling with and without the ball

At one point when he had the ball he cut a few moves and it looked like he was literally going to start dancing.

With West Ham's victory and our goal difference, Europa is off the table every way but mathematically (we could technically catch them if we beat City by say 5 goals, and they lost to Southampton by 4, or scenarios like that, but yeah).

So it's down to us, Spurs and Arsenal for 7th and Conference League. Arsenal has Brighton at home. Spurs have Leicester away (and Leicester will be super-motivated, having everything to play for, in front of their own fans). And we have City (likely their B team) away. I'd say Spurs have the toughest game there by a good margin, with Arsenal the "easiest."

If Spurs win, they get 7th, as the other results will be irrelevant. If they draw and / or Arsenal win, then we have to beat City to get 7th. If Spurs lose (and I think they probably will), and Arsenal don't win, then we only need a draw against City to get 7th.

Really hoping for a Spurs loss and an Arsenal loss or draw (Brighton's specialty this season). If we can win at Anfield after all that time, maybe we can get no worse than a draw against a distracted and less-motivated City.

Leeds play West Brom so more than likely we will end up in 10th

No defender on the back post

Not that I'm complaining in this instance!

mad season if we do, 59 points and 10th place, most other seasons that kind of points will get 7th/8th

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

60 points might get you ther

60 points might get you there this season!

I went for Coalman, thought he tried hard, can‘t fault his effort.

Noticeable there wasn’t a single vote for Digne, awful defender who is as cowardly as Siggy, both of these would be first out the door for me.

Great chance to win something this new European competition. Carlo can defo do it. Start of an era it could be.

City could play their changing room cleaners, dinner ladies and programme sellers and our shower wouldn't have a clue !! Big changes due.

 

[roy vernon]

I went for Godfrey, he really has the tools to become a top class player. He looks more comfortable on the ball every week. He gets caught out of position occasionally, due to inexperience, but, his pace nearly always bails him out. I thought Keane was very good last night as well

 

[ToffeeTim]

That was the first time in a long time where there was a visible improvement from us in the second half. You aren't going to play well all the time, but the fact we've not been able to improve or find something extra during tough games this year has cost us badly. Good teams find that extra gear to find the goal they need, even on a bad day.

 

[Khalekan]

Sime good performances last night.

Keane, Seamus and Godfrey to the fore.

I am going with Pickford though.

He seems safe as a row of houses these days.

He put some good crosses in but was never going to have traore in his pocket.

Leicester beat Spurs and we need a draw at Citch.

Mightn't be enough. Leeds and Arsenal could take 7th.

This is interesting, some absolutely love Digne, putting him in the top prem player status, yet there appears to be some starting to question him
