Bad day at the office. Loads of injuries, tired players and an absolutely ON IT opposition. It happens. Happens several times last season and early this and we almost always respond.
Doing reasonable in the league and still in two Cup competitions and no one complaining when we spanked Sheff...
Credit where its due I thought Luton were excellent.
Lots of teams have tried to press us and got massacred but they worked their socks off, worked as a unit and more importantly did something useful and purposeful with the ball. Reminded me a lot of the Everton game last season.
We did look...
Yep.
Also getting in 'what we need right nowers' ultimately will kill off one of our key selling points. That talented youngsters will be given every chance to have a pathway to our first team. It's the one advantage we have over bigger clubs.
If they start to think they may get stockpiled in...
Ha. Yes he was great in that game. And Calvert Lewin who was resurrected like Jesus christ himself for one single game to play like Batistuta against us before returning to injury.
Yes. And indo agree with your earlier point. Its not the first time Robs made a number of changes and the result is us looking much worse. I appreciate he's working with a limited deck. With hindsight I wonder whether Baleba (was he on the bench) into the middle and Gross to left back to link...
Was that a 3?? It just looked like Webster being clumsy at left back in front of Pedro.
I meant a slightly more organised version from the start with Perv in front and dunk on the left side of a 3 etc. Just to consider where we could get some pace out wide.
It felt like for much of the game...
Was hoping we may have gone 3 at the back to get Perv, Hinsh / lamptey as.wing.backs to get some pace out wide.
Goodnight and Milner either side when we are trying to break is horrible
I'm alright with it. Perhaps big clubs will e forced to try this new fangled thing called 'coaching your players' to try and stay ahead of the competition mid-season.
Rather than roling the dice with your Oligarch / Feudal Overlords trust fund.
I think that's the sad reality for Everton fans.
All that money pissed away and they got to watch Yanick Bolasie and Theo Walcott in a series of relegation scraps.
He'll come good as he's a good player but we really can't lose sight of how well trained out squad is. And how the system is unique and tight.
Think about Wellbeck playing for Sheffield United or Igor Playing for Luton. They'd be miles off it and plugging away.
We have a set system, stick to...
I think they'll Ayari / Buonanotte him.
Squad player and conditioning this season with dips into the 21/23's where necessary for pattern play and climate conditioning etc (remember Enciso was still doing this in the first half of last season).
Then see where he's at at the end of the season.
It's not so much that an owner should be able to sponk as much as they want on a club. My issue is the uneven way its been handled. Everton have been a car crash for ages but have, for two seasons been trying to flog their players, work with the Premier league and fell foul of some odd...
