Hafnia Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 That's that then. On the bright side United could challenge Liverpool for the title, in cavani they have a genuine world class finisher. Zoo 2.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Jesus Christ... Tosun tried a pass that was never making it and they counter 2 nil. I have to question the merit of Davies sitting deep as a centre back though. Against the counter he is the last man you want back there!

dunlopp9987 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 My biggest concern here is we put our strongest starting XI out there, and we lose. If we had rotated a bit and lost, I wouldn't be as bothered. With 2 matches in the next 5 days, I worry about the knock-on effect of this, especially with Richy's concussion London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I dont think we deserved anything from that match. You can talk about squads but we never really showed up bar a bit of huffing and puffing in the middle of the game. I think Mina and Siggy were the best of the pack with the latter edging it. The rest were well below the level. Bernard and Davies really didn't add anything to the game either, in fact they were ghosts. There is always the FA Cup!

Zoo 2.0 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Silver lining (nothing to do with the game of course). If anyone other than Brentford win the cup, which is highly unlikely then an extra Europa League place will be awarded through the league, so something to look forward to in May I suppose. Gutted I must say, desperate for a cup win but it's a little bit of a dream for reasons I've already mentioned - our best bet was penalties tonight which is never ideal.

RuffRob Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Think the fact Utd where able to make 9 changes and still put out a team of world class player pretty much summed that game up. We looked tired in the second half, especially towards the last quarter. Utd deserved it in the end, so can't complain to much. it wasn't a stinker of a performance, and we had our moments. Just go to dust ourselves off ready for the weekend. We put in a much better performances that the last time we played them. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been used instead of Gomes, Gylfi, Delph, Schneiderlein - all for legitimate "offers more" reasons... Every single one of them has more talent than Davies, so on that basis alone I think you need to accept that our club has had millions blown on players who have stolen a living but the lad who cost us nothing gets the hate chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just putting in some performances that were better than his usual horror shows? tonight he was back to his dreadful self. imo he will never be good enough to wear the shirt.

Romey 1878 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I could go to town on a few individuals tonight because a few of them really stood out for being shit, but when you're just judging various shades of shit what's the point? I'm just so disappointed with the performance because we didn't look like we went out there to win that game. So in that respect I suppose I'm a bit disappointed in the manager as well. I can't for the life of me work out what the game plan was to be honest. Was it to let United have the ball and then counter on them? But, if that was the plan why did we just stroll around and not put any pressure on them to win the ball back? And how were we going to counter attack with very little pace? Why when we did manage to get the ball did we play painfully slowly and let United smother us and win the ball back effortlessly? It's just typical Everton, isn't it? Any time there's a chance of doing anything, or there's any expectation, they bottle it. Tonight was no different. chicagoblue, Bailey, Btay and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 if that’s what you set out to do, and if you’re happy with that performance, I’d be afraid you started on the Christmas grappa too early Carlo. good to hear Richarlison is ok though Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Honestly no point in player DCL for this game if this was how we were going to play. Absolutely wasted him. Few players need a hard look at themselves. However I feel we rolled to dice once too many times and didn’t rotate enough, in saying that - bernard was horrible when he came on. Really not sure what Gordon has to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 sometime player can only play as well as the opposition team let you play - no matter on what tactics you go on to the pitch with. Utd played well tonight, and they had some very good players on the pitch - Worldies. Players who's transfer fees and wages dwarf what we have shelled out. Out squad is nowhere near as good as there's - so we are still underdogs when we play these teams. To win these games we still need to rely on either us having a cracking performance, them having an off day, or just that bit of luck on the day.
