And again...

“In those moments you need to trust the player to make the right decision,” said the Everton manager. “He's an out and out defender and then, for me, he's the best footballing centre half in Europe, so he's allowed to make his own decisions.

“As a player you need to do that. If you take an extra touch and lose it then it's a mistake, but don't lose it and it's not a mistake. In football I like to trust a player to trust his decisions and I like to back him up.

“With his ability he knows what he's doing, but at 21 he's a young man and he's still learning.”

Then shame on Roberto for trusting Stones. Clearly Stones doesn't have the right mindset to be a top defender. Too many on here are in love with his turns and twists. I'd take a grock back there over a ballerina every time.

Del almost teeing-up Rom . More of that please

 

[Khalekan]

Am I wrong to think robles should've been out for it and told stones to leave it?

Yes, I think you are.

 

[quasi modo]

Poor pass Ross.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Barkley shocking again, what's up with him?

Miss getting excited about everton. As many posters have said its hard getting to enjoy scoring when you know its not gonna change the game. Cant remember the last time we dominated, or even the last time we fought to the last minute. Seem to give up or fail to concentrate for a full 90 mins anymore.

No, it's a case of just man managing. Harness the natural talent, work on recognising situations and teaching the player to love defending first and foremost.

That simply doesn't happen.

We need to stop kidding ourselves that we have this boss squad, we are bang average.

League table, would suggest that we are not even "average"!

The whole side is though. Not one player has performed well so far.

The opposite happens though... which is stupid, to say the least.

Lack of Physics, apparently.

He can't stand Martinez

Barkley has been awful for weeks yet he still starts.
