Everton are shit. Overall, Watkins is clearly a better player than Archer right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 2 tackles in the entire half, 2 I saw where players bothered trying to win it. Carlos Injured and we need some aggression and Bailey comes on Looks like half of them can't be bothered today. Drop mcginn into midfield 3 and give Bailey 10 minutes, if he's still terrible then duran on instead and go more direct. So much for zanilio getting a chance yo shine.

Rugeley Villa Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 We aren’t good enough for top 4 just yet let’s be realistic . Europa league we’ll be challenging no doubt , but honestly we’ve got to take the cups seriously . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it be the Ron Atkinson team that used to be decent at coming back from two goals down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 1 minute ago, Troglodyte said: Who are we realistically bringing in though? I don't think we can attract an upgrade on Watkins just yet, and we're not getting anyone at his level to play backup. Yes Archer knows where the goal is but he's going to be a downgrade whenever he's on the pitch over Watkins, so it makes sense to take a good fee for him with the buy-back option in case he does look like that player in future (or if we can turn further profit). I find Watkins really frustrating at times but he's still easily our best striker and I can't see who we could attract as a ready-made upgrade. Well we don’t know who we may have tried to sign, but Ferran Torres is one obvious option who would’ve been a great addition. Jonathon David, maybe? We knew our biggest failing last year was in the final third and that’s where we most needed to add quality - and as seen with Diaby you get what you pay for.

MackHaakon Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 The MIngs / Konsa partnership was the bedrock for us last season. Pau is worrying me, poor decision making and very worryingly defensively. I want my defenders to be good at defending.

foreveryoung Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 2 minutes ago, Troglodyte said: Cup win and top half finish is a definite possibility though and wouldn't be a bad season at all. Would love top 4 but it's games like this that show we're not quite there. Ideally we get top 6 and a cup win, but one or the other would still be a successful season. No way are we battling relegation - that's just not going to happen. Wet Spam finished 14? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 4 minutes ago, MotoMkali said: We aren't getting battered. We conceded an unlucky first, the 2nd is a bad goal to concede. But we've had 3 or 4 solid opportunities to equalise. Saying we've been battered isn't accurate. Have you been watching? The scoreline does not reflect the game so far, they are sleepwalking this one and we look like a kids' team hastily put together last night over WhatsApp. We're being completely outplayed here so far. I'd say battered is very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I was expecting it to be, exactly like this.......but hoping to be wrong. We simply cannot play, by not engaging with the opponent on the ball( standing off) and expect anything. We are simply not competing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Whats worrying for me is how bad torres looks against a decent striker. I cabt imagine what haaland will do to him if he plays like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerner's Driver Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 It's no surprise that we are losing to Liverpool, but it's a touch disappointing for them to be achieving it so easily. I'd say Unai's been out thought so far. Not the end of the world if we lose, just disappointing. Further disappointment in the fact that the few chances we have had have been wasted. That said, IF we score next we are still in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 peter schmeichel reckons first goal shouldnt have counted because of salah in offside position blocking martinez view. Reckons martinez moved more to his right than he would have if salah wasnt there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
