Zero Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Gordon is the only one trying to make something happen. I don’t understand why singling him out. its Murphy and Barnes who looks like a passenger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Can we go to four at the back please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Fucking shite. Can we get Isak in the box please Eddie, he’s out striker in case you forgot. Fuck off 3 at the back. 433 get Trippier on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Formation not working at all combined with players generally poor in passing etc. I think he changes it to 433. Murphy and Gordon have been shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Kinda blows my mind that Barnes is playing on the right. Either get him over to the left or use someone else. He is looking horrible there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Just now, Whitley mag said: Square pegs in round holes and this five at the back has conceded the initiative, confident we’ll rectify this 2nd half but by god we need a midfielder in the summer if Howe doesn’t trust Willock and Longstaff anymore. Tbf to Howe I don't trust either of those players anymore either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 It's imperative we sign a creative midfielder in the summer. If it's not working out-wide we're lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Frustrating half, feel like they have the numbers in the middle of the park. I would go back to 443, and bring Willock and Trips on for Botman and Willock/Miley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Kind of as expected. They're solid and make it tough in a low block. We lack that extra bit of guile further forward. Everything's a bit slow and plodding, it's always 2,3,4 touches. Don't know why Eddie doesn't try swapping Gordon and Barnes over for a bit as they've both been pretty ineffective and Barnes seems to click with Tino a bit more on the left. Nervous 45 coming up as I feel they'll make something on the break at some point against our slow as fuck back line. Plus we really need one of our CBs stepping up or its 7 vs 11 going forward. Think they're playing it pretty well to be fair.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Think some of the criticism is predictably harsh but Barnes definitely looks a bit lost in this inside-right role. Gordon has been decent though, got at his man a few times. Thought Murphy was okay too other than that brainless giveaway. Everton are defending well in numbers.

alexf Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Ugh that was a hard watch. Any other game I wouldn't be worried but this isn't a normal game. Why can't we try Barnes on the left even just for ten mins, so strange we refuse to swap them at all. Isak obviously half fit but the 3 at the back isn't gonna help is break a team down and they are successfully going long to Beto anyways as he is stronger and faster than all 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
