TRO Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 On 18/02/2023 at 17:29, VillaChris said: Everton are very limited but Tarkowski was getting on the end of pretty much all their set pieces so that's the big warning which we need to actually train for at Bodymoor this week (given how lax we are defending corners currently). Beyond that Everton-Leeds was a very poor quality game which was won by terrible positioning from Meslier. As bad as we've been defensively recently we'd have to put in our worst performance for years if we ship 3-4 goals to this lot. one is a setback.

There's only so much improvement Dyche can get into his team by shouting 'Hoof it long and chin the runners' repeatedly. 1-3 Villa. Their goal coming from a last minute corner. Do you think Arsenal, would fall for that?....I think there is a bit more to it than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hope Duran gets more minutes in this game, could do with a physical presence up front vs. their defenders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish was in inspired form. It's quite amazing how we lost that. They turned into prime Barcelona for a 15 minute spell near the end somehow. funny, I seem to have witnessed that before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, we've scored in every single league game under Emery I think so no matter how poor the performance we usually have a spell where we create and put a move together to score. Everton will try to box us in and narrow the pitch but if they're not starting Gray still I don't see how they're going to hurt us much on counters so we'll have majority of possession and up to us to be clinical and get an early goal and then this match becomes reasonably straightforward as most of them have been since we've come back up.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Mad that the sequence of being 1-0 up, then 2-1 up, to lose 4-2 has happened three times now on Emery’s watch. Theres been plenty of dogged showings too, its a real mish mash really with lots of home defeats. Hoping for some away day comforts, its much needed. Really hard game to call; their gobshite crowd will be well up for it; hopefully we can get ahead and look to control the game this time. Dyche has opted for plenty of energy in his midfield with Onana, Doucoure & Gana so itll be interesting to see how we do in the midfield battle.

I still can't figure out if I dread us conceding corners or getting corners more. We can't defend opposition corners and we almost always get broke on from our own corners.

PaulC Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I see this game being won in midfield. They were brilliant against Arsenal. We match them there our extra fire power should win us the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDVILLAIN Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Dyche will play 10 men in defence knowing we are not capable of breaking down teams that use that tactic. They will try to counter and if we are not awake against them i can see us getting robbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Very disappointing couple of weeks, culminating in three defeats and eleven goals conceded. However, the positives are we’re still scoring goals, Duran is looking decent with his cameo appearances and we’ve got pretty much a full strength squad going into March. I personally don’t think we should try and match Everton physically with our line up but we should earn the right to play our game and hopefully the better football wins. Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Moreno Kamara Luiz McGinn Buendia Coutinho Watkins Subs: Olsen, Young, Digne, Chambers, Dendoncker, Ramsey, Traore, Bailey, Duran We know the danger coming from set pieces, but we’ve encountered this previously with Burnley and done well, beating them 1-3 away in May 22. That day, Burnley had Collins, Tarkowski, Cork, Weghorst, Barnes, Cornet all playing. However, if Emery sees the benefit in starting Chambers, Dendoncker and/or Duran for added physicality and height, I wouldn’t have an issue with it. 1-2 win here and onwards.
