Everton - Post match thread.

Sane and Otamendi. Both defensive liabilities.

Sane yes but otemendi no, he had a terrific game

What was it with all the crap negativity on the matchday thread. Much more than usual. We're there a lot more than usual 'guests?'

I agree but boy are we frustrating to watch sometimes. One daft mistake from a guy out of position and loads of chances missed. Unlucky can turn to annoyance quite quickly.

I might be waiting a long time but my opinion is that the players haven't quite gelled as a team, when they do we'll be something else. Another thing is that the squad has been mostly overhauled but not quite fully. The defence still needs sorting out and I think that will be done next summer. I said this before a ball was kicked last season that it would take till Pep's 3rd season for him to get us to the level that he is famed for. I still stand by that view. I'm not saying that we won't win anything this season, we most likely will, but next season will be the one to watch.
I'm a very patient man.

Not sure a yellow can be rescinded, but the three match ban from the red can and should be challenged, even if the bent FA are unlikely to give it a second thought.

Regardless Danillo should start next game, he was IMO as big a game changer as any when brought on.



Here's something we all agree on, probably none moreso than Pep.

I love Kun, but we need a Sanchez to feast on all those opportunities we had in their box (23 in total all game)

Absolutely no guarantee he would score any more. Jesus is a scorer & can't even miss any.

 

[bondsman]

He was brilliant in the second half when we were fighting to get back in the game, created some good opportunities, didn't get any of his own, but linked up brilliantly with Silva and Sterling.

Wasn't good in the first half.

Spot on.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Good, now let's see if the FA are serious about this retrospective action.

I'm getting the word.............. No!

Sterling was fantastic in pre-season so why the fuck is Pep leaving him on the bench ?

 

[IWasHere]

I think it's peps blind spot that decision he always picks the attacking option. The gamble didn't pay off this time.

Yup. We can get away with it against the weaker teams but not against the top 10 teams

 

[levets]

Agree. Sane was shit but he's not the reason why we lost tonight.

We drew

 

[Tugay One Cup]

The whole unit is a liability. The manager needs to accept we will make mistakes & drill them better.

I wouldn't disagree but I think most opposition tend to target him as the weakest of the two/ three because of his positioning.
