Big_John_10 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 How is this guy starting premier league game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Based on today you would struggle to make an argument for him starting another game for us. To come on for the last 15-20 mins and help us see out a game he may have his uses much as he did on Wednesday night. I don't want to see him anywhere near our starting line up again though.

Big_John_10 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 He made 6 completed passes and only baker had less touches of the ball. **** embarrassing that this guy plays for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Wasn't great today, but I really do think his coming off did more harm than good. Although he didn't make much impact on the ball, but off the ball, he kept Jagielka occupied leaving space for Benteke with only Distin marking him. It's what helped make the tactic work first half, as it allowed us to have some sort of outlet and let Benteke hold up the ball so we could break forward. Lambert didn't change the tactics to suit the sub, which meant Benteke was starting to get crowded out as Everton weren't worrying about the second striker, cancelling our outlet. Not great on the ball, but an off the ball presence that I think we missed second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Just shouldn't play two target men. It's tactics 101 and incredibly stupid to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Rubbish. There was a reason he couldn't get into a Championship side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Was just crap today. Him and Benteke don't work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Rubbish. There was a reason he couldn't get into a Championship side. He's not wanted or needed by an average championship club and he's starting games here. Amazing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I bet he can't believe his luck. Playing in the premiership again. Absolute rubbish- offers nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Still don't understand why he started. I had a feeling Lambert would be tempted despite people on here claiming he won't take part much in many of our games. Rather see Helenius come on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974Centenary Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 He brings nothing that we didn't already have,Helenius and even Bowery could have done the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 He brings nothing that we didn't already have,Helenius and even Bowery could have done the same job. He points and tells people what to do and i've heard he's teaching benteke a few things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted February 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2014 Useful player to come on at certain stages of game - but ineffective for a starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think the general consensus is that he started to give Jagielka/Distin something to think about in addition to Benteke and this would then hopefully allow Benteke more space. It didn't work out like that though did it. We simpy never got the ball into either Benteke or Holt. For what it seems he was asked to do today we may as well of had Bowery running about up front, closing down and being a pest to the Everton back line.

P3te Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Don't think Holt was to blame at all for anything today, he rarely got the ball and that was because of the way we played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Don't think Holt was to blame at all for anything today, he rarely got the ball and that was because of the way we played So nothing to do with him or his limitations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
