Everton (H) | Post Match Thread

Oh ffs. This thread is so last year.

I'll get my coat :(

Think it’s pretty much been covered in the previous 107 pages, can’t be dropping 5 points against the likes of Brentfird and Everton if we have designs on the title.

I do wonder about player motivation for the league though ….can you remain as motivated when you’ve already won it a handful of times?

And out of interest has this new Set Piece Coach started? Might want to ensure he’s got a probation period written into his contract as we looked no bigger a threat at corners
 
Man City lost their identity of goalscoring wingers & getting their wingers into areas for dangerous cut-backs.Liverpool lost their identity of midfield compactness/physicality to sustain wave after wave of pressure. Arsenal gained both concepts & it’s why they’re 7 points clear.
 
Well said Jim...
I didn't post after the game as I was pissed off at dropping two points...but it's bollocks to think we can't go on a run and claw back 7 points especially as we have to play the Arse twice...it might not happen but then again we might do it.
Yesterday was an awful game to watch with Maddley and Everton doing their best to stop a football game breaking out.
So much play acting and time wasting was embarrassing..
Definitely looked a penalty on Mahrez from the top of South Stand and having seen a pic of it since it was 100% nailed on..but with that fat fucking tosser Mason on Var no way we're we going to get it.
We need Kyle and Cancello Laporte and Ruben back asap..
Hopefully Pep will start Phil and Alvarez instead of Mahrez and Grealish as we need more pace upfront to help Haaland.
Happy New Year blues..keep the faith..
What did you make of var yesterday?

Normally you see " checking penalty" or whatever for decisions but I can't recall seeing a single var thing on the screen.

It was like being at the Swamp or Klanfield with no screens!

We all said the same thing about Var..it didn't seem to review anything...
Seemed very strange ..like the technology wasn't working..
Definitely looked a penalty from where I was and having seen a pic and a clip of it even moreso
 
We knew from the off how this game would pan out, from the first minute of Haaland being targeted the whole match was choreographed by MADley and the blue dippers. Cynical dark arts by Everton and Madley doing his Blind Pew impersonation, that was until City put a challenge in, then all of a sudden he had the eyes of a shithouse rat, albeit a sken eyed one. All getting a little too obvious.
 
We have a game like this every season. When most seem to have an off day, Pep as well.

We have great players but sometimes as a team it doesn't work. I was nervous before the leeds game with marhez and Grealish. They might be better at ball retention but we lose alot of pace from the side. This tends to mean KDB needs to do more running, which limits his most important part of his game of unlocking defensive.

I will freely admit I was never excited about Grealish joining, still not ! I get fed up of him just getting fouls when he could release the ball quicker. Is that just Grealish or is it Peps instructions ?

It's a long season and lots of competitions and I understand you have to rotate the squad. Has Pep been holding Foden back waiting for Alvarez to come back ?
I can see Pep swapping between pairs marhez and Grealish as a pair swamped with Foden and Alvarez. It's a bit of a puzzle as to why Foden isnt getting much game time.

The speed of Foden, Alvarez and Haaland would scare times, I dont think teams are scared of Grealish and marhez.

In my eyes we havent played our strongest 11 for some time now, Walker was fit enough to play in the world cup. Lewis has been great but needs a rest now.

I think the defence and midfield on the whole are sound, it's our attacking that's a problem. Foden, Alvarez, Haaland, Bernie all defend from the front and close down defenders. Marhez and Grealish not.

Forgot to say plus we are every teams cup final and if they get a result against us, their next 3 or 4 games they lose lol. Doesnt help us put helps other teams.

Anyway happy new year blues theres along way to go, I havent given up on the league !
