Watched this and then thought to myself, this was a below par performance? 

 

Chance after chance.

I didn’t think it was below par at all. In the second half it was a bit subdued, but I also thought we knew that we could save our legs a bit since Everton had nothing to offer.

Almiron at 40 seconds onwards ?

 

 

Hope PIF can spare a few quid to get those wires at the top of the tunnel entrance fixed neatly. Big Dan Burn would probably rip some of them up by just stretching his hands up.

Halfway to safety after 11 games. What even is this

Everton were very poor on quality I felt and general attacking coaching.

 

Ideally, you see out at 1-0 with lots of possession. Everton had a lot of the ball but didn't do much with it but still.. rather have the ball. At one point in the second half we had 10% possession in a 10 minute spell. The one good tactical thing Everton did was block the passing lanes to Bruno when we tried to build from the back. Longstaff nor Willock show for the ball as much as Joe or Shelvey. But perhaps on Howe for not rotating positions.

 

Desperate to get ASM back. That left-hand offers zero threat. Longstaff struggles with the physicality of our game atm.

 

Bruno was class in the first half especially, same with Almiron. Wilson was quiet but was a threat and had some nice touches.

These dirty wins are just as impressive as the star performances.

 

Especially when you consider we had a couple of our best forwards missing.

In what way? I think that’s the bit of the game he’s executing well to be honest. Consistently amongst the most pressures and was top again last night.

Yeah, he generally gets about the pitch well enough, it's his distribution and ball retention which is a bit loose.

TBH I thought he was pretty bad all over.

 

In the early exchanges Everton were first to every ball and Longstaff was culpable. For the whole game, I think they were beating him to the punch most of the time - particularly Onana. He did his job in terms of closing down though. And again when attacking, he wasn't making hard purposeful runs. And I thought he was often poor on the ball - some simple passes straight to the opposition.

 

Looks like a bit of fatigue.

 

Joelinton was worse though and a little fortunate to not get sent off. His passing was v. poor. But one thing about both Joe's is they will snatch up a loose ball or a poor pass and spring us on the transition for a counter. Longstaff wasn't doing that. Just chasing shadows.

Would love to have heard that. Presumably linked to previous kerfuffle in our penalty box after ‘Moron’ dive? 

[Danh1]

Have to admit I wasn’t looking forward to the match last night. Thought we would huff and puff but ultimately struggle to break them down and it’d be a frustrating night.

 

In reality, once we got the goal it was pretty comfortable as they were just clueless going forward and we were fairly solid as ever. Should probably have been a more comfortable score line but I’m delighted we got the win. 

[The College Dropout]

Just to add. I liked the look of Onana. He would suit our style very well. An excellent athlete, strong in the tackle and I thought he looked a little more capable on the ball than Longstaff. I'd have him rotating from the DM role to the 8. Looks like he can do a bit of everything.

Yeah he was going to punch trips lights out until he realised his arms weren't long enough.

[gbandit]

Yeah, Onana was very comfortable on the ball, is clearly a great athlete and really helped control the game in midfield. Shame he went to Everton but prefer that he went there over West Ham

Didn’t they pay a chunk more to get to join?

Yeah, they offered higher wages, don’t think the fee was much different 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Onana was alright but pretty ineffectual for such a physical presence, tbh. The moment Almiron knocked him off the ball was pretty embarrassing for him.

He tried that once before and lost a finger

Agreed. Went down like a drunk giraffe. He does good things for sure, but he is prone to lots of different mistakes and poor on the ball at times when under pressure. 

We will find and sign better soon

I thought it was a foul (was it that one for the goal?)

No, it was an earlier phase of play where they went shoulder-to-shoulder on the touchline.

[Wallsendmag]

Seems like there's a bit of chew with these lot nowadays. I've heard off a couple of people at work today that they were acting themselves outside the ground and in the town yesterday and seemingly an Everton fan was knocked unconscious outside the Gate post match.

 

Scouse Mackems indeed.
