Everton (H) 30/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Alan]

I thought Hwang couldn't shoot with his left?

Clearly prefers not to IMV but will when the situation calls for it.

His intelligence is his best attribute, even if his body can’t always keep up.

 

[The Bear]

RAN looks gutted to be going off, don't blame him, he's been brilliant and must have been enjoying it, probably in some ways he doesn't want to go to AFCON.

Think we just want to give Bueno some playing time with zero risk.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Sarabia with a great shot but blocked by Tarkowski. Corner

Oh i know, totally agree with the sub, just looking at it from RAN's point of view.

 

[Alan]

Everton with midfield optional tactics, good grief.

Haven’t seen a side have such an easy time getting in on goal since West Ham shellacked us 4-0 that one time.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Brentford 3-1 down, they're in trouble. Shame.

Villa 2-2 with Burnley.

 

[Wolvensam]

There is some sensational football from Wolves in this game. Making a well drilled Everton side in good form look like school children.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We're only ONE goal off the TOTAL (31) that we scored in the entirety of 22/23

 

[Wolvensam]

Hwang and Cunha are something special today.

 

[Alan]

Fuck me, what a footballer João is when he’s on form.

 

[Wolvensam]

This side have played 3 games in about 9 days and you wouldn’t tell.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Neto's on.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Fuck me, what a footballer João is when he’s on form.

He really is, and hopefully as he gets more experienced he'll become more and more consistent.

I'm amazed how little we've missed Lemina today.

 

[YoungWolf]

When was the last time we passed the ball this well?

 

[Alan]

GO loves a tactical sticky note

 

[Wolvensam]

When was the last time we passed the ball this well?

Probably harping back to the Nuno heydays…

Does help we are getting the freedom of the pitch in the middle of the park, but for once we are capitalising on it

 

[The Bear]

Lol, Neto AND Bellegarde. Have some of that Everton!!!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

When was the last time we passed the ball this well?

Even during peak Neves and Moutinho performances the passing didn't have the speed and directness it has today.

Quick word for Sarabia - seemed out of the picture a couple of months ago but has really shown a top attitude and made the most of his chance. That front three have been superb today (they all have).

Sarabia is really coming into his own now. His ability to thread a pass is top notch.
