Match Thread Ipswich Town 0-2 Everton - Saturday 19th October - 15:00

[Efctrueblue]

Before this match I saw Leif Davies and thought he was decent and heard good things about Jack Clarke. But, they got dominated by Young and Harrison today.

That Jack Clarke was pony wasnt he

A good all round performance today, everybody played well, but I gave my MoM to Young , he had so many good touches, tight passes down the right, stepping into midfield to win the ball at times , it was nice to see him play so well .

Yeah. Made a hash of that early chance and didn't help his fullback much.

 

[larbert toffee]

It's a shame he's as useful being clinical as shipman because DCL's other attributes are great.

A lot of folk on here zero in on his goalscoring record which admittedly is far from the best but his grafting, holding and creating space for others adds to the team significantly.

Ipswich spent 100 mil on players in the Summer.

Just glad to see it’s not just us that gloriously wastes money on tat.

…and their Manager was in big demand.

Finally an away day that's worth the journey! Thought Ipswich was really poor, they even made Doucoure look decent at centre mid haha.

 

[Drico]

Let’s face it: Sean is doing what he was hired for. Hats off.

 

[Eggs]

Gana and Doucoure playing deep filled me with dread before the game but they were both good! Doucoure was showing for the ball AND completing passes

….surprised me too. I thought Gueye was terrific, I mistook him for Ndiaye at times

 

[Alan Whittle]

Is it losing Olise or...whats happened?

That is certainly part of it.
Eze completely out of form
Wharton carrying a niggle that needs minor surgery.
Doucoure injured again.
Nketiah and Mateta not firing individually or together.
Glasner does not know his best team, he tinkers all the time, partly, in fairness, due to injuries.
No one is panicking yet, but my lips are numb from grumbling mumbling.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Nice little points buffer for our next losing streak

Good manager mate, but he's overachieved hugely to get them up so fast to the premiership, now the gulf in quality can't be overcome with coaching alone.

Think the last three seasons are showing the gap between the two leagues is growing substantially

Big mistake if you lose Glasner mate, need to stick with him.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Phillips must be special. To look like the worst player in that team takes some doing.
Michael 'Van Basten' Keane knows how to strike a ball. UTFT!

Doucoures touch is poor though and few times today caused problems.. with that bad touch in such an important position puts pressure on the defence..
