theboyangel Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 another inept performance so far against Everton reserves ..sort it out Martin Everton reserves??? Are you sure?? First choice keeper - Howard, centre half - Distin, left back - Bainers, 3 first choice midfielders - Fellatio, Cahill and Bilyaletinov (not mentioning Heitinga) and a 1st choice striker - Yakubu... I know we're not playing well but no need to spout that drivel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablopicasso Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 we have been absolutely gash again... absolutely disgraceful in the centre of midfield... no pace, not tackling ability, no ability to pass the ball, and we are just allowing them to run straight through us due to the lack of movement and mobility... no protection of the back four, and no support for the attack... sidwell is a complete waste of a shirt, and petrov, while showing a good touch or two on the ball, is far too statuesque for 4-4-2 in the premier league... we are far too reliant on the wingers, which makes it very easy to take them out of the game, and that is why we arent creating anything... as for the strikers, without any service, it is always going to be difficult, however, the basics of controlling the football or any form of movement would help them be less shit...

jonno_2004 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 The amount of depression on here is laughable. We go down one-nil to an undeserved goal, so what? It's what Everton tend to do to teams, we just need the character to bounce back, which hopefully we will show in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomb2233 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 It's the central midfield that's letting us down. There's only so much the rest of the team can do. Why the hell wasn't Sidwell, or Petrov tracking the long named russian idiot back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 What's Heskey done wrong? He's hardly give the ball away once and has kept it for us and dropped deep to play the little link man. Everton have had 1 decent chance as did we, they took theirs, we didn't take ours. Heskey gave the ball away which lead to their goal! I don't know whats wrong with our side!

kurtsimonw Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 What's Heskey done wrong? He's hardly give the ball away once and has kept it for us and dropped deep to play the little link man. His problem is that his name is Emile Heskey. Had that been Carew, it've been regarded 'good hold up play' or whatever else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexVilla Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 How bad is our midfield only delph and petrov can pass a football and petrov can't run or tackle while delph is never played and is inexperienced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I don't think we're playing too badly at all. Everton do not look like a team that are going to pick their season up today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 If Martin O'Neill doesn't stop this bleeding stubbornness - we are going to finish about 12th this year !!! There was no other thing to do today - 4-5-1 ! But no - he wants to prove himself right again. We have been feckin appalling this season, apart from one game and guess what we played there ! CHANGE IT !!!! I despair sometimes!!! It's 1-0 at half time, there's not been a lot in the game, keep the faith!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton have had 1 decent chance as did we, they took theirs, we didn't take ours. he's not done anything wrong per se however he's yet to win a header all match , he's not a threat to them up front and i suspect if you look back at the goal his part in giving the ball away when we should possibly have just been seeing out half time maybe ought to be questioned ?

string28 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Our problem is the middle....We need some one to keep hold of the ball and bring players into the attack...Cant wait for downing to be fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete165 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 jammy bastards This. They just play percentage hoof ball. Erm... so do we. The football he's got us playing is abysmal, we can't pass a ball and we create **** all. Sadly, this is absolutely right. Sooner or later, the biggest kept secret in football - that we are the worst passing team in the division - will be unveiled for all to see. And how long have we been hearing this tripe for? Myth, nothing more. Considering we've been playing "shit football" for the last 3 years and will be "found out", Champions League quality sides still have trouble beating us, or even avoiding defeat this season. It's not 'tripe' actually. We get results because we're solid, well-organised and strong at the back. And we're good from set plays. However, my point was that as a passing side, we're atrocious. A question for anyone out there to answer: When was the last time we scored a really, really good goal? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton have had 1 decent chance as did we, they took theirs, we didn't take ours. conveniently ignoring the fact that we have been absolutely dominated in the middle of the park.Have we? They win one hoof-ball against Dunne near the corner which has led to the goal, it was nothing to do with the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vojskovoda Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 We're not playing too bad as some are making out... but what's frustrating me how we're now 'playing' opposed to last season and the season before where we scored a lot of goals and were an entertaining team to watch. It just shows how much we're still missing Barry... Sidwell and Petrov together in the middle are not strong enough I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marstonvilla Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 how many prem teams do you think petrov or sidwell get into? i don't think they would get into any of the top 10 teams, so that says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
