GW 19: Boxing Day and following
- Thread starter OCST
- Start date
I interpreted that as “The only reason this team isn’t complete garbage that lost to Luton is because of me.”
Palmer couldn’t be a drama club kid because I couldn’t understand a word he just said in that interview.
looks like Hodgson could be sacked if they lose...definitely not a good look after their move forward from Viera was back to the past that only lasted one year
Expectations are always a bad thing for managers of mid table sides. I mean, isn’t this what Palace is?
Everton are compressing well and staying organized in defense, but there’s acres of space in the midfield. Not sure if Dyche can maintain this shape for long.
Apropos of nothing, my 13 year old and I hopped in a pick up match yesterday. Another dad was there with 2 teen boys and an 8 year old daughter. That girl was monster. She scored several, set up more, and had the ball glued to her foot. It was like a movie Nickelodeon show where kids embarrass adults for laughs. Wish I had gotten her autograph because she’ll be wearing a US jersey soon enough.
I’ve been really impressed by Mykolenko every time I watch Everton .. not long before bigger clubs start to take notice I think.
I think he probably knew he was offside - certainly didn’t seem to give it much of an effort - or completely lacking in confidence?
Confidence is terrible. He had a nice goal against Spurs waved off but otherwise he hadn’t gone close. Scuffling badly.
Even keeping himself onside is Striker 101, it was a beautiful through ball and he could have stayed inside with a bit of perception and application
We battered Spurs after being down two goals and ever Spurs fan I’ve seen has admitted that Everton should have got something. Came out on the front foot against City, were really taking the game to them andCity were not relishing it, went up a goal, then Foden hit a beauty, a dubious handball pen and that was that, you need to ride your luck and get all the breaks to beat the best snd we didn’t. So two losses but spirited performances, not moral victory kind of things but good team losing after a rock fight eith snothet good team.
Festive period. We are just not deep enough to have this be our third game in seven days. We’re leggy and sloppy. Playing the unfamiliar formation doesn’t help. Wolves have not been great themselves so I can hope we can nick one snd get out with a point, but tbh with Foucoure out we don’t have the depth.
I hear you mate. Some tired bodies out there. But Wolves aren't playing them off the park and I can see Everton sneaking a point if they can find a bit of quality. Or a bit of luck.
I hate changing formation. I hate going 3/5 at the back if you don’t play it every week.
Turned 30 last season iirc. Should’ve been tapped for England in Qatar imo.
Everton really put us under pressure mid week when you went to 3atb I can understand why he wanted to see it against a different club
Tarko was also the only outfield player to play every minute of every PL game last season.
