Consortium of one Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It was touch and go early on but wow, what a joy to watch! There are a lot of goals in this team. No single player should feel like the load falls on him. Everton are in serious trouble. They looked slow, frustrated and definitely rattled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah been following him since then myself, Great watches and really knows the game. It made me so proud of the team tonight listening him lush over ASM. Didn’t get to watch the match as tivio decided not to record it ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Great comments everyone. There is little to add, but I'll just remind everyone that Everton won their last game 4-1 against Premier League opposition. Four goals off five attempts on target says the score flattered them, but a 4-1 is still a 4-1. By hitting them with a strong high press basically straight from the kickoff and forcing them into losing possession in their own half several times, I think we destroyed any confidence they may have gained from that cup win. We won the game in the second half, but the first half set it up. The other point I'll make is that we still only had 40% of possession, i.e., 40% of the passes hit were by us. That was a very comfortable win, so that stat is completely irrelevant. Passes between CHs will click click the possession number, while ASM running rings round people on route to goal will not. We all know which of those we'd like to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Just wondering, was there any reason VAR ignored the clear stamp on Willock's leg by Branthwaite in the second half? I get why the cunt of a ref missed it, but isn't that the point of having VAR? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Ignoring Shelvey's lucky escape with the yellow, it was great watching us shithouse a game for once. Lascelles and Trippier especially hoyed some crunching tackles in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know which of those we'd like to watch. I'm optimistic our possession stat will improve once Bruno is in the side. He seems to actually like receiving the ball under pressure, and using that situation to find gaps in the opposition. We're still not great at playing the ball through the midfield, and losing the ball at throw-ins is still a problem. In that respect, Everton looked the better side for a period, but they seemed to lose their way after our equaliser. There seemed to be a lack of leadership on the pitch. And a lack of a striker to really lead the line for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Team Played a blinder last night. Trippier instills both calm and fight into the players around him. His goal was the finishing touch to the best defensive performance at st james park for a good couple of years... ASM was in piss-take mode in the 2nd half, didn´t matter how many there were around him he just threaded his way through, shame he didn´t give bruno the return pass which would have made the performance an 11/10. Yep, shelvey worries me with his stupid tackling and I think he will be the one who is displaced by Bruno, willock is perfect for bruno´s progressive passing. Only down point was that Wood dissapointed, he needs to get more involved. i caught the last 15 mins of the Burnley game and the german bloke (wheghorst?) they bought, for half the price, looks a lot more mobile and productive.
