Everton Match Thread

All of this Lucas bashing is pathetic! He didn't have the opportunity to have that much of an influence. In the same position, with your star striker coming off injured, i think every manager in the country would've put on a holding midfielder with only 3 minutes to go...

[Resu]

So it all ended much as expected.
There are money to be made on us and the Scum these days.

[Roboklopp]

horrendous. I dont even look forward to watching us at the moment & that's why. So predictable it's untrue.

[Leyton388]

If it turns out that rafa was the person to stop us winning no 19 and giving our record to the mancs that will be unforgivable IMO

[L10]

Just too inconsistent. And our standard of football is absolutely disgraceful right now - I just hope we stay in the top 4.

Why oh why do we always want to hang on to a 1 nil lead rather than killing the game with more goals.

:bites-tongue:

we do it every match.I fkn despair

But most other managers have better midfielders!

[Kenneth]

It looked that way. The subs were totally uncalled for and not the ones I would have expected. Talk about losing the faith. Somebody, PLEASE, instill some faith back into me tonight after that dross!!!

Rafa doesn't have the right mentality to push for a league title. That's just the way it is. I guess with the standard of competition at the moment, we have to decide whether top 3 is actually a good return or if we think we can actually be the best team in England and push for it. I don't think we can be the top team in the country, best we can hope for is top 3 and maybe an against the odds title.

agree Rafa is the most predictable manager in the prem. take the lead and sit back and try and stop the other team rather than finding a second goal and always bang on 70 bring some **** on.

At home, with the pace at our disposal, knowing we can f*ck up and needing that second goal?

We might not be tactically astute as Rafa, but we'd make better substitution decisions than him - that's a fact!

[billd]

I'm no fan of Parry but if Rafa wants control of signings after the **** he has bought, and continues to have faith with, (Lucas, Babel, Benayoun), then i'm absolutely ****ed and don't know what to think. He's costing us at the minute, a bit like Houllier after his operation. Mabye it's the anaesthetic!

...one that gives away so many needless free kicks??? Seriously, he was doing the same against Stoke. The only way they were ever going to score was a set piece so what do our two subs do. Give away four free kicks in record time. Why is it so obvious to the supporters but not to the so called tactical geniuses on our bench. Arteta, once of the best dead ball experts in the League and Cahill, one of the best headers of the ball in the league, yet we sat back and gave them silly free kicks.

Pathetic all round.

[Leyton388]

Wasn't Lucas Brazilian player on the year when we signed him? If so was the Brazilian league suspended or what because there is no way he is the best player in brazil. He has had long enough now and has proved to be turd so time for him to go. He should never get a game when we have Xabi, Mash and stevie.

[lucas]

They ****ing deserved that ****. Why sit back at home when you go ahead with 20 mins to go? Bringing on a defensive midfielder and leaving Kuyt up front on his own. How that useless ****er Kuyt manages to last a full 90 mins I'll never know. He can **** right off in the summer. Where are all you Kuyt lovers now???

I won't be able to watch the game on Sunday and I couldn't give a ****e. Its ****ing painful watching them at the moment. Nice one Rafa, that attack on Fergie worked a treat!

[Torriffic09]

Dossena, Yossi, Lucas, hmmmmmmmmmmm, great application for sole control of transfers

Now that's tactical decision making. If Rafa was as brilliant as we think he should have seen that was the only way they were looking to get something. So don't bring on foul givers, use stronger pacier players to push the team further back.

Sigh, 18 league titles for the scum!!! I can't take it.
