Relegation

We need the Dogs of War

Been saying this to people for weeks... It's not tactics it's the mentality of the players.

One misfortune and their heads go

Massive game on Saturday. Important we get behind them at goodison and try and get a result. Get DCL back up top with dele, Gordon running off him and I think we can score a few goals. That being said, a team with Allan Keane and Holgate in is always like to concede a hatful as well.

Unfortunately we don't have a Barry Horne or John Ebbrell to play in the midfield

I'm genuinely amazed at confidence (mindless optimism) we'd get something tonight. There's no bottom for these players, they'll bottle any game, get outfought by any opposition.

The worst team in PL, could easily finish bottom.

 

[TommyDavo]

That was ridiculous levels of bad

It'll all come back to the defenders. Mina and Godfrey are by a country mile our best pair but won't be fit. Patterson and Mykolenko clearly aren't up to the level yet either so Coleman and a makeshift left back have to play. Holgate is John Stones, you can see there's quality there but he's too old now to be making the mistakes he does and he's just brainless. Stones had Jagielka next to him, Holgate has Keane.

I see quality in Holgate but Keane I genuinely don't know how he regularly plays at this level. He's awful. Everything about him is. If I were a forward playing against him I'd do nothing but pressure him all game, he can't handle it, you can visually see it. He's like a somehow worse version of Phil Jones who makes everything he does, even existing as a human being, look like it's unnatural and alien to him.

The amount of time they all gave the ball away today was shocking, you can tell that Lampard wants to play out from the back but it is a dreadful sign when you look at your backline and can comfortably say your goalkeeper is better on the ball than them. I think Lampard can sort the midfield after a few games and the forward line sorts itself but this defence will be the death of us no doubt.

I thought Coleman had one of his better games today. Godfrey Is dreadful but his pace would have helped tonight

If you get smacked by Newcastle and Norwich then you deserve to go down. I honestly can’t see us winning enough games to not be bottom.

Every team in the league looks better than us.

Got to play 4-3-3 next match with DCL back into the fray. VdB, Allan, and someone who’ll run about a bit and kick them, no idea who.

Isn’t Allan suspended for Saturday now for picking up his 10th yellow tonight?

We're going down lads. GG.

No Allan please, he’s a training cone. Looks like a 40 year old with players just walking past him .

A friend of mine had lunch with the Everton sports psychologist once. Said he was the wettest blanket he'd ever met. It says everything you need to know about us really.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

We need fight in this situation. Where was it tonight? Non existent

These players are either unfit or have no gut. Grinding home wins our only way out

This is it. We need homes wins. Newcastle away under lights I said I'd have grabbed a point and run away delighted. We didnt even really want a point tonight.

 

[dannyboy]

Given what we saw at the weekend and tonight, I would keep a close eye on Brentford drifting very close to the bottom 3. We all know how bad we are but they are definitely a lot worse.

 

[jinkyali]

Any team with Coleman Keane Holgate Gomes pickford Townsend in will struggle.
