Cicero 5,269 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 6 minutes ago, Cicero said: It's the very reason why we aren't challenging for the title this season. Still a lot of naivety in the team, particularly on how we start games. Lethargic play, slow transition, sloppy passes, 2nd to every ball and didn't match Everton's intensity until after they scored. From there, we played right into their hands. Frustrating too as this is a carbon copy of last season's performance. Having no wingers destroyed us. Far too easy for Everton to defend especially when our best attacking player has been James. Also, add Jon Moss for assisting in Everton's time wasting and play acting since minute 1.

Bluewolf 7,167 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 We lack aggression and Intensity as a side as well with these players... we are too timid, It's great when we are a goal or two up you don't notice it but when we are in a battle like this we seem to have no fight in us...

Administrator Stan 18,452 Posted December 12, 2020 Author Administrator Share Posted December 12, 2020 Everton fans sound good. The defence for Everton has been superb. Been aerially dominant whenever Chelsea have managed to get crosses in. And they haven't always been able to because the midfield has worked hard and been organised enough to stop it some of those crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,269 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Shocking. Credit to Everton and their successful attempt in luring us to play their game...YET AGAIN. James and Mount the only players putting in a good shift. No idea what the other 9 players were doing tonight. What ever it was, it wasn't football. Aside the shit performances, having no wingers made everything so much easier for Everton. Also, another note why this team isn't ready for a title challenge. Too much naivety on how we start games and a big reason why we finished 30 points behind last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,698 Posted December 12, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted December 12, 2020 Obviously a massive win for us. Want to see that commitment, organisation and shithousery against Leeds and Burnley though if we're going to get anywhere near Europe. Defence on point all the way through. Godfrey probably my man of the match playing out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke 722 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 We're too easily wound up by that kind of football, Everton were the better team and knew how to frustrate us. I'm not knocking Everton here, obviously, there's more to them than that kind of football and they did everything right today and had everyone putting in a shift which is everything the fans would want to see particularly considering they're on a bad run. We were rattled. It's a mixed formula, Everton away like last season. Here it is.. Everton going long and direct Us not performing well enough Commentary banging on about how good the Everton ground and fans are Everton defending well Second ball battles Fouls Stoppages Time-wasting More fouls Our frustrations and naivety, stray passes and giving away stupid free kicks. Steve McManaman repeating himself about how Everton need to go long and dig in. 90 minutes gone and you wonder whether you have even watched a football match as the ball spent most of the time in the air or off the pitch which is as much as our fault as Everton's. Our record there is probably not even that bad but I feel like I've watched the same games at Goodison Park ever since I was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf 7,167 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The other thing as well... In games like this where defences are packed out this endless pumping in of crosses is just a big fail every time, either they hit the defenders or there is no space to get into a decent goal scoring position.. Great if it's on the break sure but wasted otherwise. You need a couple of players who can take that ball and drive into the box and keep the defenders on the back foot which is where we lack creativity...

Cicero 5,269 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Havertz needs the Pulisic treatment. Evident a player that needs to be slowly transitioned in. God knows what the fuck that first half was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke 722 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 1 hour ago, shut up said: Havertz has been terrible again. At the beginning of the season who would have thought Chilwell would have been Chelsea's best signing and Havertz the worst. SO FAR, I'd put Silva above Chilwell but it's close. As @Cicero said though perhaps ironically, despite all the money spent, our two most consistent players this season have been two academy products, James and Mount. I'd throw Silva and Chilwell in with being the most consistent as well. Long way to go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
