Holmes_and_Watson Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 That could have been a smoother end of the game. But we were so keyed up, we didn;t take any advantage of breakaways, with Everton pushing up. We worked tirelessly for that win. Seeing AA race across the park, closing opponents down, closing that space, makes things a lot easier. Adams did a lot of good hold up play. He's not a finisher though, and the club are now nearly half way through the window, and we still really need a recognised (and very capable) striker. JWP looks to have clicked with NJ, and has been the key factor in us getting this win. He won;t be able to do that every week, and we need someone who can take the chances that hopefully our other new signings will begin to create. A super week though. But still bottom, and they ahve to know that it's now required every week, as there's no room for any complacency in our position. Good to see NJ break the league duck, and hopefully that win will give everyone some belief, in the way that the lighter pressures of the cup ties did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lads bemoan our luck and they send out Adams to say how we can’t afford to give late goals away. Spot on.

bpsaint Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 (edited) Absolutely huge result that. Get a striker in this window and we stand a really good chance of getting out of this, incredible that despite how shit we’ve been we’re not cut adrift yet. Can’t believe we’ve finally broke our Goodison hoodoo. Even more enjoyable after the way their fans behaved when they took Koeman from us to see them struggling like they are. Boo fucking hoo. Need to get something against Villa now, hopefully the team feel the weight lifting from their shoulders at St Mary’s now.

Disco Stu Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 (edited) Excellent from JWP and DCC especially. Looking more solid defensively although Bazunu still makes me nervous and we need to improve our set-piece defending. Once we start playing Orsic instead of Elyounoussi, we'll look pretty good. We still need another striker though. Edited 14 January, 2023 by Disco Stu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 So happy withe result. We will need to play better than that going forward though. I guess it was tough conditions and Everton didn't make it easy first half, getting very tight. Part from the result, some real positives to take away. JWP playing further forward is looking like a smart move from Jones. DCC looks sold. Lyanco had another very good game, especially at right back. Strange decision to move KWP there and Salisu to left back, but Salisu had a good second half (terrible first) so something worked. Jones to be praised for that decision? Some negatives. Diallo didn't effect the game. Nor did Ely. Thought AA was what was needed from the start. A Shane Long pest. Lavia mis-controlled a few times and gave the ball away in dangerous areas putting us under pressure. He's a good player, but he needs to be right on it as teams are not going to give him time. Gordon showed just how slow Perraud is. Got too tight and then got done like a kipper. Could have cost us. Have to say Alcaraz had a mare when he came on. Did he have the wrong boots? He was like a rabbit stuck in headlines, mis-controlling, falling over, stuttering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 Now I've got my breath back, I'll try and share some views. We didn't play badly at all, throughout the game. First half we had some good opportunities, we kept Everton at arms length for the majority of it and were only let down by awful set piece defending. From open play our shape and defensive discipline was spot on throughout the game. What we lacked in that first half was a bit of attacking balance. We had KWP left, Ely covering for Lyanco right side and it unbalanced us and removed our opportunity to break. The press was a little bit off as well because the players didn't seem as comfortable in their positions. As soon as we altered that in the 2nd half we looked more comfortable, KWP a key part in the JWP equaliser. Elyounoussi was also a little more free on the left hand side, although he is still a bit too slow for this league IMO. My MOTM was DCC, I think he's a monster of a CB. He adds the composure and calmness that so often goes missing in Lyanco's and Salisu's games, so he compliments those two really well. He's getting better and better with more game time. This was a huge win, make no bones about it. So pleased with the character to turn around a game like that, it was huge and it will add even more belief to this group. I can see what we're trying to do now, against Forest I think we were rightfully all very confused and bewildered, but the last few games we have a clear approach and the team shape is bringing the best out of certain players. If we can get ourselves a real number 9 (Adams tries, but he does struggle when he's isolated) then I think we have an excellent opportunity. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca155 Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 A win at Goodison is an extremely rare event. I had hardly any signal and was hanging out waiting for updates. Absolutely stunning result. What a difference a week makes. JWP is so important to us, bit like LeTissier in the 90s. 2 points split 7 teams. It's going to be a tense relegation battle. Lots of teams involved who absolutely don't expect to be there. Panic will set in soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you said we would win 3 game before the palace game not many would have believed it Manager has got us playing this way and we are in the groove we have developed more over the last few weeks we were not pleased losing the 1st half. Lost too many battles in midfield Manager was not happy at HT and we needed to be better I am confident with free kicks The mood has improved over the last few weeks.

Both a bit flappy when they first came here, but they did get better. I think it's way too soon to be writing this guy off, the things he does in games come across to me as a lack of experience rather than outright ability. I would agree that it's risky to have him in a struggling team right now though, and I'd have preferred a more experienced keeper with him on the bench, but we will just have to be patient. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
