Another terrible performance.
I just don’t get it…
Play out from the back then instantly get into trouble and hoof it.
Take ages to take throw ins because there’s no movement, and no one wants it.
Spend most of our possession with Doucoure and Godfrey passing it sideways across defence just inside the half way line then give up the moment we are pressed and pass it back to Pickford who promptly hoofs it.
Pickford makes a save or collects a ball and wants to release it and get a move going. But everyone’s heads are down slowly walking, no one wants the ball and he’s frustrated.
Richarlison rightly presses the defence and goalkeeper chasing them down, and they just pass it round him because no one else can be arsed.
Doucoure again, taking months to control the ball turn and pass, it’s like slow motion and just passes backwards.
The players generally just slowing momentum, by either passing behind the man or passing it past them so they have to run to get it. Loose passes everywhere.
No shooting of shots. Richarlison had some good chances and the crowd were getting pumped. But it was straight back to doing the stuff above that totally killed the energy and momentum,
I thought they’d be well up for it today. Wolves were a decent team with their sexy foreign mercenaries, but could they have not shown a bit more for a packed Goodison.
Jesus wept.
