sandwichsaint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Fair play to RK, he's getting a decent performance out of the boysh so far. Enjoying this at the moment.
SuperMikey Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Howard Webb's got his work cut out getting these refs up to scratch..
Saint Without a Halo Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Good set pieces from JWP today so far
Coxford_lou Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Some bit of skill there from Pelle setting up that attack...
Norm Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Why and how is that Moss ever allowed to Ref in the Prem?
JoeShmoe Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 not seen the first half, how's Reed doing?
sentry Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Good set pieces from JWP today so far Last few games ive watch Tadic take pens and they have been woeful at best. Great to see JWP putting the balls into the box. Tadic is the better player but JWP is far better at set pieces, can bring 5-10 goals a season easy. Much like Eriksen at spurs, i dont rate him but his set pieces are strong.
stknowle Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Howard Webb's got his work cut out getting these refs up to scratch.. Yep, what a fecking w@nker. HTF could anyone not give those 2 fouls against Long? On the flip side, if Pelle breathes near a blue shirt it's a foul.
trousers Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Everton now 11-1 with the bookies to win. (in case anyone is still feeling nervous)
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Why and how is that Moss ever allowed to Ref in the Prem? I just saw the replay and I cannot for the life of me work out how he decided that tackle on Long just before the goal was not a penalty. Truly shocking refereeing.
Saint86 Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 One of the worst refereeing performances we've had at SMS for many a long year. Struglling to think of a worse one tbh and hope we lodge a complaint of some kind. Happy with the team. We're clearly disjointed with the new formation but still offer a threat. Really like long for just his work rate if nothing else. Always a nuisance behind and pressing or winning headers (great jumper is long)... Also lol at american commentary, "with the bear hug from behind and heinrich maneuver" to describe players jostling from a corner Also warde prowse impressing me since he's been back. Really starting to see his potential now. before this i was always scratching my head with him.
NewYorkSaint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 The boys are playing well. Reed's had a terrific half. Has harried brilliantly... won the ball several times.. and put in a killer long ball early on. 3-5-2 looking good so far. Fonte having a cracking game. we're back to some confident fast passing. I'm liking it. I would so love to see pelle and long pick up a goal each second half.
ThreeSixty Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 3-5-2 is good for getting more bodies around Pelle. Looking much less isolated.
andoru Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 I've not seen a refereeing performance this all over the place in ages. Everton have been given free kicks for light shoulder barges; meanwhile, Long gets taken down twice, both time pretty strongly, and nothing is given. His knee was bleeding after the second challenge. How does the ref explain that? Still, instant karma with the goal.
St Chalet Posted 20 December, 2014 Author Posted 20 December, 2014 Koeman played 3-5-2 at Feyernoord as it suited the players he had available, LVG took his formation and applied it in the World Cup. Don't think we will see it again when Vic and Morgan are back, but good to see him adapting to the resources we have available. Nervous 45 ahead for us now.
Manuel Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Seems like a good set up considering what we have to work with today. If we can weather this inury/suspension storm with a win today it'll be a real boost for us.
SuperMikey Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 3-5-2 is good for getting more bodies around Pelle. Looking much less isolated. Food for thought for Ron I think, we have some very good wing-backs at this club so this formation seems to suit us. Won't work against every team, but good to have options.
Ohio Saint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Tim Howard must have a terrible time at airports.
Viking Warrior Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Listening on absolute radio . Interesting commentary
BotleySaint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Step forward Shane Long - worthy of his price tag today so far!
trousers Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Step forward Shane Long - worthy of his price tag today so far! Man of the Match for me so far
Lorne Malvo Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Just need Mane to come on and bag one now as he looks devoid of any confidence.
sandwichsaint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 So much more positive with 2 up front, looking really dangerous on the counter.
Ex Lion Tamer Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Having JWP's delivery in the side makes such a difference
Edmonton Saint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Great stuff so far. Alderwiereld has been superb. Long has been a threat throughout. Like to see Seager given a run now..
BotleySaint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 I really don't know how we are pulling this off so far.. I think the deliveries into the box are much better and playing Pelle and Long alongside each other is reaping reward so far.
Edmonton Saint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Fonte now out of the palace game. fifth booking.
trousers Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Fonte suspended next game? Yep. Down to our last 2 first team squad centre backs
SuperMikey Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Fonte booked, suspended for Palace game. Like I give a f*ck if we win today!
PhilippineSaint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 I really don't know how we are pulling this off so far.. I think the deliveries into the box are much better and playing Pelle and Long alongside each other is reaping reward so far. Sounds like you do know?
BotleySaint Posted 20 December, 2014 Posted 20 December, 2014 Fonte out is a blow but we'll have several others back in the team and still have depth to cover in Gardos, Yoshida and Toby.
