Everton (A) 4/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Jack Regan]

Unless you are being flippant it's 11

I'm not counting Dawsons stint with team GB. The Olympics is an under 23 competition.

 

[BeaverWolf]

As Dawson is playing for Everton tonight it is no surprise we are losing. Selling Collins & Kidman was just stupid. Yes - I know they are not that good. But they are better than what we have.

 

[Squeak]

Come on folks you know we'll bag 3 in the 2nd half, 1 being a dodgy var call in the 96th minute to cause scenes!

Everton fans on GOT seem to expect us to come back.... and if this situation was reversed, I expect most of us would feel the same way such is the quality of each team.

 

[Langers]

I feel as apathetic as the players - hardly reacted to either Everton goal - it’s just so predictable.

I wish I didn't care but I get really fucking wound up watching us unnecessarily throwing away our Premier League status.

This was so preventable. An excellent example of the damage which can be done when owners take their fingers off the pulse and appoint cheap options both on and off the field to try and save a quid or two

This is shambolic. Not seen the defence look so disorganised in a long time. Dawson is being turned inside out, Bueno is weak, Doherty as bad as ever and Lemina gives the ball away constantly. Whether it's letting Everton press the backline or lamping the ball up aimlessly and losing it, we are playing into Dyche's hands.

Guedes is a joke off the ball. Lazy, impetuous, always waving at teammates despite not being an option. Cunha is trying but can't do it all. Midfield being bullied same as Bournemouth.

Chuck in both midfielders leaving a 15 yard void in front of the shambolic back line and a keeper having a crisis of confidence (and he's not that good anyway).

 

[BeaverWolf]

JSL what's he doing?

Very disappointing tonight!

I’d have definitely kept Kidman, not sure she would have been much use though against Everton.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I’d love to hear Hobbs explanation of why we didn’t need a first team ready replacement for Kilman. It’s not hindsight either, many said it at the time. Oh well we might get our money back on Andre who was bought instead, though anyone looking at our performances would probably steer well clear of a defensive midfielder!

 

[The Bear]

I’d have definitely kept Kidman, not sure she would have been much use though against Everton.

Under GON she'd still end up doing Something Stupid.

 

[Tony Towner]

I’d have definitely kept Kidman, not sure she would have been much use though against Everton.

The rest of the defence play with their eyes wide shut so she'd fit in

I do care, but I think I am just trying to manage my emotions, especially as I can’t see it getting any better with GON in charge.

 

[BeaverWolf]

Dawson, Lemina, Guedes all need hooking at half time. Absolutely rancid. They've all by and large been diabolical, but those three don't even deserve a 1/10.

Doherty Bueno Toti Ran
Andre Gomes
Forbs Cunha Rodrigo
Larsen

Still plenty there to make me vomit, but they can't possibly be worse than this shower.

The three you highlight have been incredibly poor.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Been so close to the dugouts an Evertonian has caught a glimpse of the iPad.

Nicole? my eyes are wide shut!

 

[The Bear]

It's been done to death already. GON wanted to play a back 4, and 4 senior CBs plus a promising new youngster was considered enough. Which is fine on paper, but shite if you need to play a back 3 and one of them is out for the season.

 

[Celtiña]

I think if one team have a lot problems on defense, the best option is put more midfiields


------------- other gk-------------- Sa made a lot mistakes.
Doc------Bueno---Toti---------Ran
----------------Lemina--------------
--------Andre---------Gomes------
Sarabia---------------------Cunha-
------------------Larsen

 

[Wolftone]

I imagine he'll push Lemina into midfield and go four at the back.

 

[Derby Wolf]

433?

Nicole would do a better job in defence than this bunch of useless twats.

Yeah I know what you mean. It's infuriating watching this
