Everton post-match thread

The positives:
  1. We scored another away goal.
  2. Navas scored a goal at last. So pleased for him.
  3. Our fans were superb.
  4. It's only 2-1 and still winnable.
The negatives:
  1. Our supposed world-class players (Toure, Silva, De Bruyne and Aguero) were utterly wank and without any redeeming features.
  2. Our defence was poor.
  3. Our midfield was non-existent and it's no surprise our goal came the way it did.
  4. When Everton moved the ball we stood aside and allowed them to take it wherever they wanted without any pressure.
  5. There was no sense of us moving as a team and getting compact as a unit when we needed to defend. In contrast, when we moved the ball, the Everton team was compact and well-organised behind the ball.
  6. Too many shit-houses in our midfield who just stand and watch their opponents with the ball, with (at best) a half-hearted attempt to pressure them.
  7. The subs, apart from Navas for Delph. That last one was a fucking disgrace.
There is no sense of any organisation or plan either when we're attacking or defending. It's an absolute shambles and if I was Txiki Begiristain I'd be kicking Pellegrini's arse all round the dressing room then, when I'd finished with the manager, kicking some of those over-paid prima-donnas.

But Txiki hides behind Pellegrini .Having a wank Manager distracts attention from his appalling record in the transfer market.
The Guardiola smokescreen is also distracting from his mismanagement of the situation. Its like telling the Mrs your moving your mistress in this Summer but expecting her to carry on making your tea.. If Pep for some reason goes elsewhere and I would put a few quid on Arsenal (especially if they win the Title) then txiki should be kicked out with a boot up his arse.
His so called 'spanish attraction to pep" has ruined 2 seasons now with a some special players achieving nothing........
 
For me midfield in next game has to be
fernandinho
delph
sterling
navas
silva

bring toure and de bruyne off bench if need be
just turn up and want it
silva in in to get match fitness
get zaba in fir that too
 
I didn't see the game as I live in NZ and am at work but from what I have read, their first goal was offside and we should have had a stonewall pen. We had twice as many shots on goal and shaded possession.

This reminds me of our semi with the rags in 2010. Beat them 2-1 at home in our "cup final" just like it was Everton's "cup final" tonight. Rags went on to win the 2nd leg (90th minute - twats). I have a feeling that we will do to the Toffees what the rags did to us 6 years ago.

Just trying to keep positive. But if the fecking farmers beat us on Saturday Pellers can feck off.
 
Keep trying to convince myself that we will start to click , seriously doubting it now , we are so lethargic and disjointed.
 
Navas scored, that's unfortunately much more shocking than us losing the game.
 
Don't think De Bruyne's workrate was all that bad. He must have had 3 or 4 tackles/interceptions in the first 20 minutes. Perhaps why we stayed on the front foot in that period.

It all just looks too disjointed and labored. Kind of like at the end of Mancini's reign. Team seems not just out of ideas, but frustratingly unable to even execute what they have. Time and again now we're giving up goals on the first real shot of the match.

The MDM sub, however, was completely baffling. I am no fan of Mangala but Lukaku is practically the prototype of the Striker he can play against. If you've watched a lot of Everton they typically have Lukaku on the end of all kinds of things. He wasn't in our CBs pocket in the 1st half but he was less effective than he often is.
 
Feel depressed obviously and will wait until the end of the season for the inquest (hopefully not before!!!) but at the moment........these performances are almost identical week after week after week, the subs and tactics are also very similar, MDM has just about gone as a player but is still heavily involved.... WTF is going on??
 
I'd go with:

Fernando/Delph/Fernandinho/Silva/Sterling behind Aguero and see how that works in our next away game.

You could swap De Bruyne for Silva if you like. But the biggest change is to how we defend. I think that front 6 would give us a better chance forwards and backwards
