garth Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Going to plan far as Everton are concerned, beginning of the half we sat back far to much and let them dictate to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Poor performance - only bonus is that we are only 1-0 down. Badly missing Tiote in midfield and I'm not sure how that can be resolved for the 2nd half. Ba or Shola on and for us to go a bit more direct. I'd take off the ineffective Marveaux and possibly move Perch into midfield, with Anita going to DR. Pardew has a job on to stop us getting pummelled in the 2nd half.

Guest Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Marveaux off, Ba on, 4-4-2 and go back to basics. Think tonight just goes to show that if players aren't performing, the system is irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Everton have been very good so far in fairness. Really missing the bite from Tiote so badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 No real presence in midfield without Tiote. Krul saves that all day long btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Their movement off the ball is 100 times better than ours. Its a disgrace how static our midfielders are, theres a real lack of confidence within the side. The whole team has been shit apart from Anita.

Guest andrew Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 difference is they want it and we don't. they are constantly closing down, working, fighting for the ball- our lot look absolutely gutless and its no surprise we never come from behind to win. very little drive there. fucking hell that was atrocious, hopefuly pards is fired up and ready to give them a rollicking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This is absolutely fucking turgid. Almost like we're playing without any central midfielders. Marveaux is having a shocker. Could do with getting Jonas on the right to help Perchy out because we're getting absolutely raped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Really missing Tiote man. Love Anita's potential, but he cant control a midfield similarly yet & Cabaye just ends up running about defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 We never played 433 at Spurs. Aye, we played 4-4-2 at Spurs and at Fulham we had Best on the left and Shola upfront with Guthrie in midfield. Hardly representation of a failing system, in any case tonight's problem is not even bother to press them when they have the ball and Williamson keeps hoofing it to Cisse completely by passing the midfield. If we don't press teams and hoof then we are going to struggle no matter what. There's no point playing a system like this if your going to completely bypass the midfield. Ah, that'll be it then. Nothing to do with not having an outlet up top who can keep possession.. We don't have one though, i'm not sure what your getting at.... with the players we have it makes much more sense to pass through teams like how Everton are doing to us. Just by passing Jonas, Anita, Cabaye, Marveaux and Cabaye is idiotic and goes against the strength of the team. You went all summer saying we shouldn't be in for Carroll and 4-3-3 would be a perfect fit.. 4-3-3 is a perfect fit, if we actually use the strengths of the players and pass through teams and not completely bypass the midfield. If this is the plan for Pardew then i agree Carroll would have been good but i didn't know this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Can the head in the sand gang please wake up and realise that there's more than the formation that's wrong. The players just don't look arsed. The front three behind Cisse have been bloody awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Marveaux off, Ba on, 4-4-2 and go back to basics. Think tonight just goes to show that if players aren't performing, the system is irrelevant. Every time we get the ball it is being punted long to Cisse, who has two men on him. We're not playing well but the system is only being made irrelevant because of the maintaining of long balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Absolutely battered. Miraculously it's only 1-0 and we've had some very good chances so we're still in with a shout. Might get a point if we're very lucky. Wouldn't even say we need to be lucky tbh, we just need to stop being shit, I'm actually 100% certain that we're not actually this shit.
