Aidan Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Lukaku hasn't win one header in the second half! He's had all too many. Long ball game. Pathetic Moyes-like performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanna Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 That was an experiemental formation that went terribly wrong i think. I am surprised Martinez didn't realise it sooner like at half time. He normally is very sharp tactics wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 And now a Moyes substitution!!! Bringing a defender on! he brought an attacking RB on for an injured attacking RB? What's the problem? markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Agreed, we all look hungover. It's a good thing they didn't go to Amsterdam instead. Game is just about done, and seems it's going to be a 1- 1 draw. Realize a trip to WBA isn't the easiest of fixtures for any team (Fuck off there goes a disallowed goal....) but the game only came to life after they scored, and even then we didnt really improve Yes Full Time and another missed opportunity. On paper it's not the worst result, but real room for improvement this night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 not a great performance, but let's be honest - we've been spoiled recently. To perform badly and get a draw away at a team with a new boss is probably a good result. ANnoyed that RM didn't act a bit sharper with his subs.

markjazzbassist Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 to play devils advocate, who was RM going to put on? mcgeady looked good for 10 min, but how would he have done for 30? naismiith is shite, and vellios, heitinga? no thanks. he did what he could. we need less injuries and more depth.

spanna Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I bet if that was liverpool playing they would have ripped west brom a new one, ignoring the fact it was a new manager. We always always fuck up against new managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I feel like we are right back at square 1 after that performance. Absolutely dire. No composure, no belief, no coordination, no real effort and no changes made in a positive and timely manner. Very, very disappointing.

Romey 1878 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Utter wank from pretty much every one of our players. The manager didn't cover himself in glory either. Very disappointed. Edited January 20, 2014 by Romey 1878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thought that myself..... RM is running out of subs who are going to really change a game.... That was a moyes subs bench.... Really missed Barkley today...... markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Second half we came out and played to protect our 1 - 0 lead. Serves us right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vranny Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Think Martinez has been waaayyyy to kind letting go of Jela to give him some game time for the world cup before bringing in a replacement. Lukaku looked ridiculous jaded for the entire second half (as did most of the team mind). Hoping this Traore lad's hammys are in better nick than what's being reported. We desperately need some fresh legs in the team. Can really see why Rom was used off the bench so often for WBA last season. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ah well at least we are safe.. needed that... Second to every ball, diving/"winning" free kicks, poor reaction from the manager, awful performance all round. Considering what I gave up tonight to watch this shite, I'm pretty pissed off...

Guest blueboy122 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I thought the team looked absolutely knackered. Didn't think Martinez did to much wrong to be honest what options did he have to use? Maybe he should have thrown Vellios on to put himself about a bit... That's the only other plausible option I could see. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 That was really poor, easily the worst performance of the season for me. West Brom were average but in the 2nd half they were by far the better team. We were poor in so many areas, we lacked cohesion, we lacked composure and we lacked any urgency whatsoever. Osman and Oviedo were really poor, in fact I havent seen Osman as bad for a long time. We kept going long (which I do think was a tactic to expose Lugano) but we weren't winning the 2nd ball. Because we were stuck between phases, we were badly out of position and as soon as West Brom won the ball back they had easy passing options. As soon as we got up the field we could really put pressure on them but a lot of the time we were undone but sloppy passes or poor touches, under no pressure whatsoever. Martinez rightfully deserves criticism for waiting far too long to make his changes. We got deeper and deeper (always a bad thing when you're playing against Vic) and it was only a matter of time until they scored because we couldn't relieve the pressure. I'm really gutted because that game was there for the taking and I felt like the players didn't want it badly enough (Mirallas excluded).

Toffee_in_LA Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Really disappointed with the lads today as I felt that this was a game the starters needed to win. Knew it was going to be tough with the new manager and injuries piling up but was not expecting us to be this bad! I was screaming for Osman to come off after 5 minutes of the 2nd half and yet our subs came until after their goal. To be fair, what else could RM do? Sure he could've put Naismith on earlier than he did but other than that, can't really fault him for this game. Now I'm really nervous for the Derby... oh boy, hope Peanuts and Coleman are ready to go because otherwise... we are in some trouble. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Crikey, I know we went at our best but anyone reading this forum would think we were playing like we were under W Smith! We played ok, the pitch was in a poor state. In the first half we bossed it, should have been 2 or 3 up. Second half we couldn't impose ourselves as West Brom really came at us. I think a draw was a little harsh on us. The only criticism I wave is that I would have put Naismith on for Osman after 60 minutes as he tired greatly and in a match like that we needed more hustle. I just hope Colemans injury isnt too bad. MikeO and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueboy122 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 1-1 draw away from home isn't to bad against a well organised side. However I will admit if we just managed to change gear into second we would have beaten them. First half we were in first gear second half we came out in reverse.

Newty82 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Gotta be constructive here gents, bit OTT bringing Moyes up (fuck sake, is moyes the only manager we have had in our history?!) and I see the Martinez bashers will jump on this one (Martinez has cost us majorly in the race for 4th?! Have a word pal...its because of RM that we are in that race to start with!!!) But, anyway, lets be honest...we were shite! Really frustrated watching that. We have all got use to a particular style of play in a short period of time. However, credit to WBA...they pressed hard, tackled hard, found space, looked sharp, passed and moved with pace. And we did none of that. We just looked empty today. Too many long balls upto lukaku, who won very few. We were basically the opposite of wba. Lets not go overboard with criticism, it was poor all round...players and martinez... Bring on the kopshites!!!

verreauxi Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ugly second half...way out-played. McGeady had a few good touches for the 5 minutes he was on, but apart from that it was pretty sluggish. We desperately needed some transition-play, too much of that long-ball stuff. And we didn't look good when pressured at the back. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "Any point is good point, but I was disappointed with the second-half performance. "The hardest thing in first half was to get the goal and we managed that. In the second half the condition of pitch didn't allow us to get on the ball much."

Cake Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 We are where we're meant to be but we should be blasting shite like this off the park. 4 points dropped against them this season. We can go 5/6 years without beating these, though recent record (last 5 years) more positive. Not quite a bogey team like Arsenal, Leeds or Liverpool, but; Overall, P159, W65, D36, L58, F256, A250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
