Mole_Toonfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 What Everton have is a brilliant mix of variety. They can go long, wide, through the middle, and they have the players to do so. They can hit you on the break with pace, or break you down through nice combination play or the physical attributes from the lads up front. They've got a fantastic left side in Baines and Pienaar and two great target men in Fellaini and Jelavic Osman is a very decent little player, matched with clever play from Neville. They're a cracking side imo. I think we have cracking players too, just Moyes makes better use of the ones at his disposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have one of the best. That's the main difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've probably spent less than us in the last couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Baines shows how much difference a quality full back can make like which gives us hope that Debuchy can make a big difference. He is fucking ridiculous. Only Van Persie can touch him for best left foot in the division. We talk about Everton and Fellaini but Baines is the man.

Definitely, Fellaini is great and all but when i watch Everton Baines seems the main threat to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If Pardew managed Everton they'd probably line up: Howard Baines Distin Jagielka Neville Heitinga Pienaar Jelavic Osman Naismith Fellaini Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the attacking stuff we've seen from him in the past 2 years wouldn't be sniffed at by Barcelona imo. He's a playmaker from full-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Fair play to Baines for staying at Everton. He could have been a key player for any top side in the World. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Santon-6 Attacked well but bit suspect defensively. Should have squared that shot Did he? He brings the ball forward as well as any full back in the league but once in the final third he's almost always crap. Not blaming him in particular mind, think it's more a consequence of how he's been utilised and how the rest of the side responds to his marauding runs. One example would be the 2nd half where he went on a great run cutting inside, basically opening up the entire left hand channel. Yet Obertan just stood there gormlessly - he should've been bombing down the left which would help Santon double-fold by giving him an extra attacking passing option and would've dragged an Everton defender out of space to mark Obertan. These are the kind of basics our team consistently fails at doing. Yeah i'd say he brought the ball up the pitch well and with a little movement around him, could have done something dangerous.

We really needed a left back with decent delivery more than a right back since I'm pretty sure that Santon would be a lot more effective on the right.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Tbf, when that freekick went in, I think there might have been a few bits of "fair enough" applause from our fans, had their free kick not been so ridiculously given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The strike was brilliant, but it was never a free kick. The last thing you need is the ref awarding Baines free shots at goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying for a little while now but honestly, he is one of the best left backs in the world. I think it's hard to comprehend the notion of Everton having the best in the world at any position, but I'm struggling to think of many better.

Willow Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I still think we'll be alright once we get that elusive win. It's the fact we've not even been able to draw games that's frustrating. Just hope whatever centerback we get, they're ready for a serious battle. Remy would lift the place too. My chin is still up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I don't watch Italian, German or French footie these days but I'd have Baines in my side before any other LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 One thing about Everton as well, I think about every player much improve by around 20-30 % from when they join there.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Lahm Was going to say that but he's more a RB these days, Bayern usually have Alaba at LB who is pretty canny himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
