We have two genuine wide players in the first team squad. TWO. Bizarre.

Disagree tactics cost us just a matter of time before DG scored Gross was never anywhere near him.
Yes - Everton were very good, but we made it quite say.
A number of poor performances including Gross and Maupay.

The answer would certainly lead to at least a forward that could cause a CB more than 3 seconds grief in a game and enough squad depth to have a left RB/WB when Solly can’t play. Same as was obvious all last season and still not fixed.

It’s a shocking issue. Although beyond Trossard I’m struggling with who the other is?

I was actually thinking Lamptey and March. But you’re right- Trossard was a winger. We don’t seem to like playing him there.

I haven't seen the game but the stats are very even, though we have the lions share of posession.
Looks like the only diffetence is that they score from their shots on target and we don't.
Just got back from a party 12.45 here, night all, will watch game in the morning.

That was utter tripe.
80% of our possession stats were almost certainly played across the back. Größ was awful, no pace and no urgency when he got the ball, always passing backwards. Glad AliMac went off, although Veltman did very little to improve anything and gifted their second. Bissouma was putting himself about but other than him and Lallana, nobody really did enough to create anything.
Only real sliver lining from today is that Taylor Richards looked very assured and we'll hopefully be seeing more of him this season.
All in all, a shit performance and one I'd like to forget.

I listened to it on the radio , if i use the commentators description of play Everton seem to play ball forward faster and direct with players who could run at our defence whereas we often just stopped play and turned back or made two psses when one should be enough. If you are plying a well organised defence you have to either play the ball quickly before they can organise or have someone who can run at them and has clever feet. We had neither option.
This was always going to be a tricky game, one which had we won my have marked us as a serious contender , time to rethink our strategy , signings and make sure we can get 3 points off Brentford.

Yes, I noticed that too - if you just looked at the stats you might well guess the result would be a draw - didn't watch, but listening to the radio commentary, it sounded a relatively easy stroll for Everton.

Lamptey is a RB who could progress forward but I don’t think I’d call March a winger anymore as he doesn’t really have the ability to beat a man.

As soon as I saw the lineup with absolutely zero pace I thought the writing was on the wall. Against their nippy skilful wingers it was never going to be our day. Hopefully that’ll be rectified in the next day or two

They ran the game completely from about 15 minutes onwards.
Pace and power everywhere, they outmuscled Trossard, Gross, Mac Allister, Moder, Veltman, Muapay, Lallana.
Hunting in packs to rob the likes of Gross and Veltman, destroying us on the counter.
Potter just said they were the better team and we played below par today.

Thought Karbownik was supposed to be that player?

We had powder puff, going nowhere possession around the back, reminiscent of Poyet/Garcia’s most sterile Championship football.
Rafa accepted that with glee. Gray, Richarlison and Townsend waiting for misplaced passes and they came in abundance. We kept giving the ball away.
He is not left footed.
