Don't really think Marveaux looks that good on the left. Especially with Simpson never overlapping him.

At least one occasion where Sylvain was running to the line and needed to cross with his right, but decided to shift it on his left and play it backwards, ending the threat.

I believe in us winning this. Think brining Ben Arfa in would give us a new dimension by putting the ball on the ground and passing it around.

 

Think we need something to occupy their midfield like, otherwise we are going to get overrun.

Marveaux's quite tentative, always taking a touch on the ball, trying to do something neat and clever. obertan's almost the opposite in that he runs and runs and is big and powerful and fast but not particularly intelligent. we've probably missed his athleticism down the right and ability to pin defenders back, whereas Marv likes to cut inside and deliver a floater, which is good for simpson overlapping but not for anyone else.

They looked off the pace till Drenthe went right and that may be a factor with Jonas's subdued showing. Marv's been tidy but nothing else. With both first choice CMs out, this second half should be that "test" everyone has talked about.

 

I reckon had Everton hit that corner last week, they'd have scored against Manyoo. Textbook execution. Credit where credit's due.

They have been coming right through the centre of our midfield all match.

 

Guthrie has been good on the ball, but Cabaye was very poor (understandable given the injury), Marveaux doesn't show himself as much as Obertan, and Jonas has been off the pace.

 

Basically we are winning because of a bit of luck and a split second moment of inspiration.

 

Cabaye poor? It must be me, but felt we won every ball in midfield. Thought they got the better when cutting inside from the flanks rather then through the middle.

 

He was struggling for 20 minutes before he came off and it caused us problems. Not his fault, but having him on the pitch has caused us problems.

Everton played well , we are lucky to be one goal ahead.

 

WHAT?!

First goal is OG , the second was superb but we didnt create any clear cut goal chances.
