What's the problem(s)?

Supporters expectations

 

[Homar]

He was completely overwhelmed

We had to sacrifice a forward to get Ferna in to help him

He’s been a shocking buy

I don't think it is possible to play with a single CDM like Rodri and succeed in this league. Not unless your back four are perfect and your pressing is incessant. He was a luxury that we couldn't afford. It is also concerning that we actually looked better offensively when we sacrificed Mahrez for Fernandinho.

Pep could have made changes much sooner,he let the game go on far too long without addressing the problems.As for the lack of effort from one in particular,that was also predictable in my eyes,and that player should not have started.I think some others were poor because they are knackered.

We need a striker who keeps the ball and buys us time to recover.

Giroud please

Mahrez?

None of that though should affect our ability to pass a football or win a 50/50 tackle, our movement from after 20 minutes was shocking, see throw ins, and having to be told to take it, then we do it's straight to an opponent.

Daft thing is, if KdB's shot had gone in off the post, or been put away from the rebound we'd probably have 4 or 5-1.

If.

They have had even less of a pre -season than the others so they are not fit , they are all getting match fit on the job

Okay. But how much of a pre season did Everton have? Not that much, I would guess. The fact is, we can't really afford to be dropping the points we're doing. If Liverpool win tomorrow, as expected, they'll join Everton in being 8 points ahead (albeit with a game more played) after 4 games.

Mahrez is one of our problems for me. All about him. Lazy and greedy and can’t be arsed half the time. Bad buy and doesn’t fit in. We have never looked right with him in the side. Flashes of genius here and there but nothing consistent.

And we've done exactly the same 2 games in a row, though rather fortunately today, we didn't get beat.

Yep we were lucky today in the end, we could easily of come away from that game with no points, even Pep could see it coming hence the reason he put Dinho on to shore it up at the back

Mahrez?

Who else? Not a City player in my eyes.
