Match Thread Norwich City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Toffeelover]

If at the end FSW shot straight down the tunnel, does it mean he never went near any of the players?

Zonal marking. It’s all about bleeding Zonal marking……

Any team that puts the effort in, and outworked us has won,
it's been like that for nearly a year.
Poor management and poor leadership on the pitch both to blame.
We must have one of the least dynamic and athletic midfield in the prem with the exception of duke .
We need a centre back with a set of bollocks and mouth and a bit of organising skills as well.
Personally I think any half decent manager could get a run of results out of this lot , but we havnt had one that's up to the demands of the modern Premier league.
There are about 8 players in the squad who need moving on and a few who will want to move at the end of the season.
Whomever gets the job has a big task on there hands.

After Rooney's recent comments Re. the whole Derby situation I doubt he'll leave until its all over - one way or the other, which could be May.
If he's here on Tuesday, even if he becomes SAF Mk II. he can 'koff for me - he has...as is said, forgotten the face of his father.
But he won't...he'll finish the Derby job wherever it leads.

No words for that first half.

Where's branthwaite? Keane needs retiring, hes crap.

Why did rondon get so many minutes, and as a 10 or even start?

Why persist with two in midfield and no protection for our weakling CBS?

Richy and Mina fit for the bench but not to start - joke.

Hope he's been put out of our misery - sad thing is I don't think yesterday was the lowest point we can reach, which is proper scary.

Worst thing ever introduced into football. Man marking is the only sensible way to play.

Don't remember us playing Norwich last season

Season before…

 

[bcblue1878]

We'll murder these.

0-3 Everton.

Mykolenko with a PL debut header.

Finger on the pulse as ever!

 

[Sagar]

Didn't like seeing him throwing himself on the floor time after time either.

Slightly more easily but that may be down to him being underweight, and anyhow we need some of our players to do that, unfortunately its the necessity nowadays with refs being proper knobs, no use being pulled and pushed and trying to carry on.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

I’m convinced because we were playing away, our players thought we were in our old amber kit, that’s why we kept giving the ball away.

Anybody else thinking that he did all of the bolded bits above so that he could be offered the payoff?

Very weird that he would do all of this in the same match?

In time it would be good to hear what his thinking behind those decisions were.

Yes, probably realised a few games back that he couldn't motivate the players so saw a quick way out

It almost feels macabre to ask, but does anyone know where I can DL a copy of the full match? - I can only find highlights (lowlights). For what it's worth, I think Mina's body language is way off and he needs to go (like many others). Agree with the 2 fellas at the top of the MOTM poll. Thx.
