Everton (H) Post Match Thread

Its always nice to beat that shower.

Decent win, no real worries during or after (injury wise)
Nice to see KDB back and didn`t he look sharp!
Really happy for jesus. He had a big old grin back on his face, good for you!

 

[bennyboy]

Great run of the mill win.
I thought Everton were poor.
Anything they created was our own doing.
Watching that Pickford play makes you appreciate Ederson even more.
Mahrez a worry for me.
A lot of the time he looks to have no confidence in his ability.
Goes missing or plays in a negative way.

Snow is way easier to play in than freezing rain and driving wind.

Try building a house in it ya load of pussies.

To be honest, it's an opinion I've been forming for a while and just happened to vent on this thread.

I think he's just very average if I'm honest, injured or not. He doesn't have anything like the technical skill of the players around him. I am not expecting every player to be like David Silva, but Walker's ability to control the ball in tight spaces is leagues below the rest of our team; he has bugger all vision and panics every time he runs forward, inevitably picking the wrong pass and/or overhitting it. I am not his biggest fan, let's just say that.

I absolutely agree.

The main problem is and this is going to sound harsh, he’s just a bit thick.

He does some outrageously stupid things and he’d be below average if it wasn’t for his pace.

Just being honest here and will probably take some flack for it.

I would, if I'd picked a path through life that required me to do so to earn a living. Nice warm office/home for me.

Crazy to think Ederson only cost £4M more than Pickford

It's brilliant isn't it? We've shopped for premium players but got real value in recent years

good for the epl though with that engine. think trippier might've looked good in this side

The best manager in the world pep disagrees with you..... to say he’s basically just all pace is just plain wrong. He’s shown tonnes of technical ability and skill throughout his time here. He was called by many - the best right back in England last year.... he’s had a few off games ( we’ve still won most them) and now people are coming out of the woodwork and criticising him.

I find it bizarre on here that after a win any of our players are being criticised so much. He wasn’t even that bad today.

You will rightly get flack.

It might toughen you up a bit mate.

I don´t like Mahrez slwoing it down too much and he used his dribbling and stuff much more in Leicester, now he only wants to cross the ball imo..Am i the only one who sometimes feel we have too many left footed players on the field and specially ones who only use left and don´t want to go right at all.

Its your opinion.

The issue is your up against the opinion of probably the worlds greatest manager in Pep and he thinks he is fucking brilliant as do a majority of us.

On that he has looked out of sorts of late and it could be a niggle he has or just tiredness but he is one hell of a player when fully at it imo.

Hmmmm, nah, still prefer the office.

Oh here we go, the first super fan.

He’s just about good enough for us and his pace allows for that. Of course he’s not just pace but his technical ability is poor compared to the rest of the squad. How many assists does he get? Why do we concede so much from his side? We went out of the FA Cup last year due to his technical ability.

This isn’t church, I don’t have to praise the entire squad every time we win. It’s a post match thread about discussing the game and the team.

The team is great and we’re lucky enough to be living in the greatest times of Manchester City but we can still critique the odd player or performance.

Maybe RAWK is for you.

Not from me, I agree boys.

They would be better posting on here than him

Of course it’s my opinion, it’s me writing it.

Again, this isn’t me saying we should get rid vs Pep who says we shouldn’t. I’m just highlighting he’s the weak link in the team, well both full backs are.

He’s not a big enough problem for us to go and sign someone else but he’s still a problem.

I agree with most what you say,think his technique just isn´t up to his speed and his never been known as a good crosser or passer ,but he should offer more with his speed coming down the wings, or maybe Pep jusn´t doesn´t allow him to overlap at all.

The crowd was great today .

It sounded a bit quiet on Sky, but we all know what their sound engineers are like. An entertaining game nevertheless, with some good individual performances, especially Jesus, Sane and Gundogan,
I missed both today and Wednesday to an acute attack of the Dreaded Lurgi starting earlier this week - my only missed home attendances since being in hospital in September 2017. I've not even opened the door to go out since last night and feel like shit, or I would have been there.

Sorry chaps, I'll try harder, and absolve myself by saying 5 Hail Colin's.

Well I obviously agree with you. Walker was never anything like one of the best RBs in Europe. His technical ability is awful. It's sort of an issue in a Pep team when you are bad at passing and dribbling. The entire team has to play around him when we have the ball.

It honestly shocks me that everyone doesnt see it. Maybe I'm just crazy.
