Watched first half then gave up.Went and did some painting

Missed it due to work.

At times, lady luck smiles at me.

The tracking back on the second goal yesterday was totally unacceptable. Every time I see the footage it gets worse. That doesn't happen with a functional team of fully committed players. Not to mention the fact we were supposed to be playing with a back 3 as well. Pathetic defending.

Has everyone at the club just given up?

The worst thing is that Wolves, Southampton and West Ham were all absolutely dreadful against us and we didn’t get a point.

A new manager bounce alone could have had 9 points there, without us pulling up any trees at all.

 

[Toffeelover]

That's it we are screwed. With next 2 fixtures coming up it give those teams above a great chance to widen the gap to make it unbreachable.

Cannot see our way out of this.

Nah. Winning runs and losing runs become habitual... we're just in the latter. It going to take a new approach and different thinking to lift the players, get their confidence back, and start winning games again.

This and the Southampton games were must wins though.

Know what you mean mate but I personally believe that all games are a must win, and I feel that it's going to take a new manager to change our fortunes because, IMHO, Frank Lampard doesn't have what it takes to turn this mess around.

I’ve avoided coming in here so apologies if I’m going over old ground , that was genuinely shocking yesterday . Another must win game where we’ve simply not turned up.

We played at a testimonial pace despite its importance, not going to defend anyone but I’m not sure what chances DCL was given , the ball didn’t seem to go without about 3 feet of him . Everyone was just appalling and what is certain if the manager asked those players to work for him they didn’t care enough to .

I've just watched the match. A couple of positives: Yeri Mina stayed on the pitch for the full 90 and seemed uninjured. Everton managed to prevent Ings scoring against us for a change. Also on the plus side, the team showed no sign of giving up what seemed to be a lost cause after going 2-0 down.

Some negatives: When WHam scored their 2nd goal there were 6 Everton players and 2 WHam players in our box, how did we manage to concede? Why does Frank never use more than 2 substitutes, hasn't he heard that 5 subs are allowed?

We seemed to be doomed to go down but never say die.

Onana my MoM, but Davies and Mcneil put in a good effort, Pickford made a couple of crucial saves. Mina looked solid.

Just watching Arsenal v Man Utd - the tempo of it compared to our game yesterday. It’s like a different sport.

Yes they are technically better but the effort is another level compared to us.
