Mattoon Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Really thought that Everton second half was our turning point, this was dire, job done, but far from where we need to be and nowhere near last season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Harper 7.5 Perch 7 Williamson 7 Taylor 6.5 Santon 7.5 Cabaye 5 Anita 6 HBA 8 Jonas 6 Ba 7 Cisse 1 Tiote 4 Obertan 3 Ameobi - Basically Cisse with the worst performance of the season by any of our players, while the subs made didnt work. Harper with his best performance in half a decade, still getting very little out of Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The decision making on show today was horrendous. Anita and Ben Arfa were two of our best players and came off. If Anita doesn't play right back when we put Tiote back in, it will be a joke. His crossing is exceptional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Papering over the cracks a little, but unlike the mackems you're getting the point tally to make up for it. +3. I think that at times - particularly in the first half - you shown glimpses of where you want to be, like Everton second half. So the potential is there. 20 minute spell where we played some decent stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The good and bad side of Obertan there. Started well then fell to pieces over a funny five minutes. Absolutely awful performance from us at home again. Can pass, can't keep possession and bar Ben Arfa we are clueless coming forward. Good performance from Perch, Williamson, Ba, Harper, Anita (at RB), Santon and Ben Arfa. Average at best for the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Cisse's penalty and we would have trashed them. Well, still 3 points. Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 A very lucky win for us, but a win is a win and I'll happily take it. Ba and Ben Arfa magic, again to save our arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Three points the hard way (Obertan on the pitch, lol) I'll take it. Gabby has to go. Anywhere really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Though Santon, Perch and Ben Arfa were outstanding. The problems rests with our movement off the ball. We cant retain posession because the passing options arent being created. Frustrating to watch. But 3 point will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Standard home performance from us, delighted with three points but Christ we're dull. Only Ben Arfa is interested in cresting anything, the others are just there to stay in position and be solid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Suppose you can't ignore the fact we're still missing Coloccini, Krul (and Simpson). May have been a bit bolder going forward if more confident in our back 5. Wouldn't bet on it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We defended solidly & shouldve scored more. Clean sheets arent lucky if the opposition cant outplay your defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 That pen fiasco changed the whole mood. We were really going up the gears at that point. Madness to let Cisse take it.

We definitely are missing Captain Colo's influence at the back both Taylor and Williamson both looked like lost chickens sometimes although I though Williamson had a good game overall.
