Forget the opposition, no team should concede goals like that. Having said that, we haven’t hit a corner like either of those two in three seasons. Surely. Surely, we have someone who can put a corner in like that? One in two or three? You'd think it's the sort of thing that could easily be practised in training, yet we can't seem to deliver them as you rightly point out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

beswetherick 4,987 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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 post Share on other sites
Owlsend 1,187 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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 post Share on other sites

Popular Post simple84 56 Posted January 24 Popular Post Share Posted January 24 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

Brian 82 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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 post Share on other sites
