/lesigh If Kenny started at RB, I see us winning this game. Holgate is everything you want in a CB but he is still a tad skinny. Kenny is a really brave RB and it makes a huge difference when the opposition is trying to keep the field narrow. If we aren't going to play a winger, we have to play an attack-minded wing-back. What we saw from Rom in the 2nd half we need to see from him every game. He did all he could.

Everything you want to see in a CB? I think heading is up there with priorities. Koldrop is better in the air than Holgate
 

He got it wrong today

Holgate is a good defender but not an attacking full back

Either he needs to play as a centre back or we need to play an actual winger in front of him

DCL has stunk up the joint a couple of times now

I don't care how good or bad Lookman is in training, it's time he got a chance

Play Holgate at centre back in place of someone from Team Buddy Cop (I don't care which one) and then try Kenny at full back

Play Kev on one wing, Lookman on the other, with a midfield of Davies and Gana, and a front two of Lukaku and Valencia

Straight up 442

This sorry lot need to get back to basics
 
Today's topic is:

Why not Kenny and how much is he pithed off with Robles (and all his clean sheets when he plays properly)?

1-0 at a poor Palace (7/10)
1-1 at Stoke (5/10)
0-0 Boro (3/10)
0-0 West Ham (2/10)
0-1 Swansea (1/10)
(ok, also 1 point from 3 games at Liverpool, Spurs and United but we'll let that drift for a while)

Progressively worse.. game by game. I'll mark your card for the Everton Handicap..

Home form - we'll lose 3-4 against the better sides - and win 10-11 draw 4-5 of the rest

That's 11-5-3

Away form - we'll get 2 draws from the 6 tough games.. We'll win 5 draw 6 and lose 2 of the rest

That's 5-8-6

And that's 16-13-9 or 61 points.. You can bet your last dollar that it's been this way for nearly all of the last 15 seasons.


NOT GOOD ENOUGH.. even allowing for running out of fit players.. Koeman has improved us - though that wasn't asking for much after the last two seasons.. but, let's be honest, until he shifts the wage collectors, the Mirallases and Kones etc we'll never be any good.
