Ive wondered why Barkley wasn't given an assist when he played Mirallas through against Palace at home? It had a little deflection though so maybe not. Looked a killer pass at the game like

It did from the normal tv camera but from the reply it was a huge deflection
 
My thoughts are that we were very poor today and I dont think losing is a good habit to have going into the new season. And quite why the likes of Mirallas and Lukaku were not in the fold and certain others really makes me wonder if we are going to be ready in time for leicester.
Is that the royal we stonesy mate?
 

All the Barkley lick arses ffs

BUT HE GOT DAT DEFLLECTON OFF DAT LADS ARSE AND DAT

zero assists 27 games

LOL
 
Good work out tonight I thought. We have played 2 decent possession teams (ones that we hope to aspire to ) with scratch teams. Besic looks impressive so far and Browning looks like he will be getting some playing time this season as he looks a good prospect. It is confirmed that Naismith is not a striker but someone to play behind a striker but think he will be just an impact sub for majority of season. Our movement off the ball does not look great to me but I hope it comes with time. Gibbo put in a good shift and Ross started to show what we know about him. Duffy looks useful to me but cannot see him getting much playing time. If we sharpen up and play the ball quicker and have players finding space to receive the passes then we will be a force to be reckoned with. Squad not as strong as I thought it would be and we desperately need another striker.
 
I have watched it a few times now and I think it's Barkley's assist. It's irrelevant anyway. We would all want him to get many more assists but surely nobody is stupid enough to ignore the great talent that he is. 6 goals is a great return for a lad of his age breaking into the Premier league. Some of his play has been excellent and he genuinely gets Evertonians, well most, off their seats in anticipation of something special.















It wasn't[/QUOTE]
It was definitely Skrtel.

It was definitely Skrtel.
 

yeah, he's not quite ready to drop back to centre mid based on last two games, but that's ookay, we have 4 great candidates there. imagine playing a 4-3-3 with mccarthy, barkley and besic for the next 10 years though.

naismith and osman will only be barkley's backup for ACM and rightly so.

There is practically no difference between 433 and 4231.

(Russ is always going to be played further up field than Besic you would imagine.)

I don't think you can really put labels on what Martinez is trying to do. Especially when the full backs bomb on and you're playing something like this:

I agree that they look like a great three central players I just think it will be in a very fluid formation.

P.s. We're not getting Atsu.
 
4-3-3 has extra body in the middle so can dominate the centre more, 4-2-3-1 has two deep lying players who by pass the middle of the field in a way by feeding the three attackers behind the striker.
