Why do Everton always let you down :(

I just wanted some more European games to go to. It was great fun seeing the boys up against different opposition, in an exclusive little competition. Probably the most fun I've ever had as a fan actually.

Stop picking on individual players though. Fair enough when they're really [Poor language removed] every single game and clearly just not good enough, but otherwise you have to assess the team as a whole.

Just why are we all starting to turn on Arteta?

We're all bad snides us.

Not turning on him, just wondering why he dominates set-pieces when he is quite obviously crap at them. But then again, they are probably the same reason that we drop Castillo to accommodate Pip in midfield.

Do we have anyone else who can take them though?

Did you see Baines' attempt at a freekick? It was awful to be honest.
 
Like teppic said, I could take better corners than Arteta is doing. The might not technically be as good, but at least the would get into the box and we would at least have a chance. Unlike when the ball goes straight to the first defender who plays it clear.

Sign me up Davey Moyes!!!!

True, are you a lefty or a righty?
 
Mikel's actually quite good at taking set pieces. Just for some weird reason he's lost it the past couple of years. Even now, he's still decent at them. There are very few players that can put in a good delivery consistently, that's largely why Beckham was so valuable.

Let's be honest though, who cares right now. Gutted.
 

evening guys,

Greetings from standard liège fan,

far from me being here to add to your pain,

atmosphere this afternoon with your supporters in liège was really nice, you ve great and friendly fans, thumb up

about the evening match, it was dreadful performance from both teams, by far our worst match this season,

i feel nearly sorry for you coz you seem very friendly fair guys when talking about football not like some arrogant ppl i spoke with, when we played reds in CL.

gladly we are through but tbh it was a really poor performance but unlikely in CL we won at least, the game was so [Poor language removed] slow, all we ve learned is our keeper is the weak link of our team for sure,

i ve been watching EPL for years and i didnt recognize your team, your league is probably the best in the world atm but for some reason you never managed to raise the tempo, your closing down was way too "light" (standard hates high closing down)
I was afraid of Arteta before the match coz i though it could be the man t make a decision with his technique ...kinda disappointed
Dont want to seem obsequious but i wish you good luck in EPL this year you ve quality in the team for sure, get the things work together, dont be too harsh with Marouane let him to settle in the team but i bet he ll give you some very good service, despite some over here think the opposite he was our best midfield last year, im sure he ll succeed in EPL.
I wont judge Moyes, dont have the knowledge to guess the decisions he made over a season a judging in two matches is not fair.

keep the faith, guys, why not meet you next year in CL group stage :)

ps: MOTM for standard : Defour, worst espinoza
MOTM for Everton: Baines (penalty is unsure but im sure you would have screamed for it if it was for you ;) ) worst: Arteta (shame im sure he can do a lot lot better)
 
Good luck in the UEFA now steve. Hope you guys pick it up and do well. We are mainly disappointed with our teams inability to do anything right these days and this match came too soon for us.

Good luck for the future (y) Good fans like you are always welcome here :)
 
Ghost, I'm with you when it comes to a creative playmaker and that's what we look to Arteta for.

I'd love for us to have another to compliment him in the middle of the park.

I think that's really what we were screaming out for in the last transfer window.
 
By the way, Setanta is showing the Everton vs. Liege match here in the States.

To be honest, I can't even be bothered to watch it.
 
How the hell was there captain (dunno his name) given that much time and room to shoot from that distance before there first goal?????? Of course he was gonna have a pop. :@
