Everton (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

The problem is we need signings of the very highest quality, failure to qualify for the champions league will hinder being able to do that either financially or because it will reduce our pull over the top players.

We need competition for places in the squad again. I remember a time we had Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, Bernardo, Mahrez and Foden competing for the 3 forward spots.

Tevez, Serge, Mario, Edin

Different day, same performance really. We can't defend or keep a clean sheet, we don't put the opposition keeper under any real pressure and we look old/slow/ponderous in midfield.

Haaland going in the tank and missing a pen sums up the state of things, but we can't rest him as we sold the back-up and then did nothing with all the dosh.

Foden & Bernardo aren't playing anywhere near their level either but then again nobody in the entire squad is really - not a single player is in form.

Savinho was half-decent yesterday but you can all but guarantee the same player will be god awful at Leicester if selected. Doku is a 1 decent game in 10 type too so trying to find that game when he does turn it on is like trying to pick gnat shit out of pepper.

A competent opponent would've beaten us yesterday with City twice conceding huge breakaway chances in injury time - thankfully Everton are absolutely toss so we got a point. 12pts needed for safety.

Just been watching back that 4 v 2 at the end of the game....fucking embarrassing. Foden, Gundo, et al, hang your heads in shame.

Remember these words? ....we are tired? Fuck you.

Yes it is. And yes you can if it's lawful. Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998 protects the right to freedom of expression.

Gave you a like for the effort you went to there :)

No, it's not. Not even close.

Looks like top 5 may qualify for CL next season

I think Harrison did an Iheanacho.
Are we still paying the two of them.

What was the match day thread like?

Akanji didn’t help Lewis out getting the wrong side of his man which left him with having to track two men which resulted in him going after the wrong one.

Akanji was a very good value signing, a bargain, and with strong partners hes a very capable player.
But when he has to be the main man he is too weak and puts others players in the shit , like yesterday with lewis.

Akanjis attempt at cutting out the cross was like watching my u10s swing a leg of lamb at the ball and totally miss.
Lewis was of course woeful at marking

As youd expect but the most boring thing at the mo sre the gatekeepers who are deciding who are massive blues and who arent and call other blues “rag” and “plastic” if they dare to have a moan

Like Liverpool? Who beat us 2-0 at Anfield?

The fact that most games have one goal in them is quite important.

1 game, most of the rest were winnable.

Your important fact makes it look worse actually!

It shows that teams, poor teams don't have to do very much at the moment to get a result.

I thought Villa were poor but could have scored 4

Everton were terrible but could have had 3

Spuds who are terrible overall scored 4 ffs.

The list goes on. We are piss easy to score against and can't score enough.

Our goal yesterday was a lucky deflection but then Pickford wasn't tested. Our wide men had plenty of opportunities to get a ball in but didn't do it enough.

Fuck knows what the answer is but that yesterday has done nothing to improve confidence in the team.
