angelman Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Yeah but they have more ambition and dugouts But we were the first PL ground to be all LED lights. That's modern and forward thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Everton had a lot of the ball but did nothing with it We look very good on the counter attack. I wish we would be a bit more direct at times and get the ball forward quicker, because our best opportunities have come when we have done exactly that. Get Boufal on for the final 30 minutes and cause a bit of havoc. Also, I can't believe how quiet Goodison Park is. Easily one of the worst atmopsheres in the Premier League.

Chez Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 (edited) After looking incredibly ragged in the first 20, we have settled down and have perhaps been slightly the better see. Great skill by Rodriguez to create his chance, but then wasted it. Encouraging though. Lots of fight throughout the side. All the players that have been criticised recently have stepped up so far.

St Marco Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Thought we were ok in the first half. Much better than the last two games anyway. Stephens and Classie doing well. Redmond should have done much better with his couple of chances though. Jay was unlucky with his chance, did really well until the finish. Prowse needs to calm down and not do anything stupid.

suewhistle Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Well, I wouldn't be happy if I were an Everton supporter either. Do their forums have the equivalent of Alpine, who is only happy when he's being miserable and critical? A fair bit of hoof ball in this game, and JR doesn't seem to be getting much protection. So far so good from Stephens, good to see another nipper getting a chance, and hopefully Yoshida has got his obligatory mistake out of his system.. Everton may have been the first team to have dugouts, but they don't seem to have caught up since then and actually put some padding in front of their concrete walls.. A bit unforgiveable at the top level in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5string Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Having only started watching the game after 30 mins, I thought we looked pretty good. Showing some adventure in attack, although we still look a bit light up there. Some chances, ok possession, a bit of sideways/backwards movement, but not as much as when we're at home (frustratingly!). We can nick this.

washsaint Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Much improved display. Even game between two pretty ordinary sides but much more commitment and energy today. Shout out to Stephens - not a RB but playing pretty well (certainly better than Cuco the Clown). We have looked pretty dangerous on the break but Redmond and Tadic have been poor. Contrary to what some have said, I think both Jay and JWP are playing well. Most of our incisive play is being directed by JWP and Jay looks threatening when running at defenders and almost had a great goal. Hopefully we can push on 2nd half. Would rather have had Sims over Redmond/Tadic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Shout out to Giroud and Mhiki Are we really criticising him here for not scoring an absolutely world class goal that no-one had even tried in the Premier League in god knows how long?

Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 I agree with the sentiments about Stephens too. Surprised he wasn't given a chance earlier, because Martina is obviously not good enough. One of Koeman's worst signings, and if Everton really want him they can have him.

Leo_ARG Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Can't play possession football with a keeper like Forster. Pep surely knows. Can't play possession football when you are scared of the closing down. I'm affraid this team isn't really suited for it yet. Too many times there was time and space to go forward, and they pass sideways o backwards until they reach Forster. Then he hoofs it and we lose the ball. Frustrating. From what I see we don't need a striker. We badly need a physically strong box to box type of midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 2 January, 2017 Share Posted 2 January, 2017 Most of our incisive play is being directed by JWP . Disagree. It has come from Classie and Romeu.
