Steve Down South Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Think Thompson spoke quite well there. He was quite realistic in his assessment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Really wasn’t that bad, Everton are a very decent side Meltdown because of losing to Everton is embarrassing Edited January 24, 2021 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 All things considered, that was much better than I thought when I saw our starting XI. Everton are a proper team and will expect to be playing European football next season. We had Brennan, Galvin and Urhoghide (less than 10 senior starts between them) against James Rodriguez, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin and Sigurdsson... just to put things into perspective, Sigurdsson alone probably cost more than every single signing we’ve made in 150+ years combined. We had to pick and choose our moments to attack, like Thompson said before the match, and we played some nice stuff when we did go forward. Disappointing to concede 3 goals from corners but the league is the priority and hopefully that run out has helped boost fitness levels ready to smash the granny out of Coventry on Wednesday night 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlsend Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I did not expect to win today But you never know what you’ve got until you’ve lost it Toilet paper is a good example We need a manager ASAP Thompson is a good coach Tactically hasn’t got a clue Don’t get me wrong I’d do know better .. but he just seemed to me that he was clueless when we went two down And if our chairman is satisfied with keeping Thompson as manager it shows his ambition for the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post simple84 Posted January 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2021 Christ on a bike. We were beaten by a team who are way ahead of us in so many ways, including player budget. It’s simple, we are a second rate club, our players are second rate, we are in a second rate league. Do some people really think we can compete? Take a step back. Look at our club, our players. They did themselves proud tonight and they will learn a lot from it. I thought Thompson’s interview at the end was positive and realistic. Let’s hope they can take some lessons from playing against a great team and use it in the league. Or they could do what some of the numpties on here constantly do, and take it as another dent in our completely fabricated ego. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have tried to make things happen, I mean that’s all very well but it might help if he could actually find a Wednesday player to give the ball to occasionally. He just gave the ball away time after time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I thought we did make a go of it regardless of the lack of attacking threat; it was just too big a gulf in class to overcome. That was a very strong Everton side out there tonight and they're having a good season. They'll be 4th in the table if they win either of their games in hand. We were the ones who started with youth players, whereas every Everton player who started is part of the senior squad, and the majority of them are regularly in their first eleven. I couldn't view this game as anything more than a warm-up for Coventry and it was useful for just that. I'm glad Brennan and Galvin kept their places for this one. Great to see Urhoghide out there; I was beginning to think he'd disappeared completely. Dele-Bashiru looked solid when he came on, especially given how little game time he's gotten this season. I'm baffled by how far off the pace Brown is. He can do just about nothing right at the moment. I'd love to think he'd come good if he was starting and got a proper run, but, sadly, I can't imagine we'll ever have the luxury of affording him the amount of time it's going to take him to get up to speed. Hopefully Green will find his feet a lot faster. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said it’s more important we beat Coventry so it will be interesting how strong our line up will be Well it was a poo line up IMHO... so there ya go.
