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

[ToffeeDan]

Highlights - Richarlison couldn't get his feet sorted, Pickford made a couple of good saves, defence got in the way of most of what Wolves threw at us, when we had the ball it went backwards.

 

[II McColl II]

I'd get Bernard, Davies and Iwobi on at HT.

Don't care how crap they are they ain't doing any worse than the current lot and at the minimum they're more creative minded players than the crap we've got out there, drawing does absolutely nothing so if we lose we lose, just go at them at least.

Ridiculous thinking we can play 2 up top with Slugursson and Coleman as the wingers with 2 carthorses in CM that don't want the ball, any surprise why we can't attack with a selection like that.

...whatever it is, it’s not surprising we can’t get up the pitch. This team in this shape is incapable of taking the game to the opposition. It’s not about attitude.

Sigurdsson again in this odd deep lying left midfield role doubling up on Traore means no way out on the left. Coleman gets the ball infield and looks out wide to green grass so passes back. Dreadful balance, all geared to not conceding.

Its a bit like an away game where we might just pinch a goal but until we play an uncomplicated back four ahead of a midfield containing two orthodox wide players then it’ll continue to be more of the same.

Square pegs & round holes aplenty, very odd.

Our problem is our wide players have no pace and can’t take on their players.

Id even take a deulofeu right now. Anyone who can go past with the ball and stretch teams.
Lack of guile and talent is alarming.

We've never replaced Del tbh, he's miles better than every other player we purchased since he left which was Bolasie, Iwobi, Walcott, Bernard

You reach a point mate where you want a quiet life and realise you really couldn't care less whats on the windowsills.

Walked past yours the other day, decent little display by the Mrs to be fair.

No luck needed when you've got a top lawyer.

Oh, you meant with her?

He hit her Hot-Spot, but felt very confused afterwards....

 

[ToffeeDan]

The Kaiser never played either (the Brazilian one that is)!

One of those is a tentacle, who wants to shag a tentacle?!

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Listened to the first 20 on Five Live Ctra and we sounded ok, watched the last 25 on Sky and we looked like “normal”. Do we sound better than we look?!

 

[Efcjake]

can I come too?

Gutted they've finished it before full time here tbh.

 

[Eggs]

According to BBC live text, Wolves have had 10 corners to our 1. Ancelotti has parked the bus a bit early?

...that is wrong, we had a couple of corners in succession but they’ve had loads.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Stop playing 2 strikers

It's dreadful management eggs let's get that right. The set up is all wrong when it doesn't need to be. Complicating it for the sake of it and what's the end product? Awful awful football.

Might have been said already but that’s 6 straight halves without a goal. Haven’t found the net since Doms against west ham first half. Who’s up for 7?
