Today's team - Everton match thread

[MrMichael]

Seriously though, sort it out some of you lot. We've looked pretty toothless upfront but we're absolutely controlling the game, the chances will come.

Sounds like Rafas pre match teamtalk

yeah, he picked a really weak side for this didn't he.

[vlahka]

btw, remember when Torres was good? Need to get back to that bacause he's pretty rubbish since his injury.

He'd probably be less rubbish if the bunch of PONSES behind him didnt take 5min for their stupid build up play, which in that time the entire everton defence has managed to track back and velcro themselves to him.

[lickedlollipop]

Škrtel, WTF!?

poor game.. again..

[JohnDoe]

We must have the softest defence in the league. When it comes to goals conceded divided by minutes of possession by the opposition, our record has got to be the worst.

And attacking wise, it's completely the opposite. Our attack doesn't have a shape, a purpose. We lack the options out wide needed to create mismatches. We are clueless at breaking teams down.

[Joe King]

Kuyt

Huh, what?
What is he good for?
Absolutely nothing.

A reason for why Benitez shouldn't get total control of transfers. Get him out of there, waste of space, oxygen and a disgraceful excuse of a footballer.

[Jennings]

Get Lucas ON FFS!!!

[Kenneth]

Hit and hope, that's what we've become, at home to a ****ty Everton XI. If it were the league, i'd be pissed. Pitty we did it in the league too though, god i'm pissed off with how we've ****ed up the challenge. The way we've been playing, we can't blame anyone but ourselves. Depressing. Anyway, I hope we win, not because i give a **** about us winning the fa cup, but because i don't want everton to have a chance of doing so.

[Joe King]

****. Crap. Piss poor. Heck, Kuyt's so ****, he's making Dossena and Skrtel look amazing. The guy is ****ing crap, always losing the ball, narrowing the pitch, no final product, does not offer anything. Bring Riera on for the Shyt and switch Babel on the right.

I was thinking the same for every one of the 45 mins i just watched. Surely we'll create something soon...

[JohnDoe]

He's **** and one purple patch every year doesn't make up for it.

If we want to break teams down, we need skillful players out wide who can create an opening with their technical/physical superiority. Kuyt provides none of those things. He's just... there.

Nah, Dossena and Skrtel have looked poor still, more so than kuyt in fact.

[Leyton388]

We are **** and have been for the past 4 weeks now.

[JohnDoe]

We are **** and have been for the past 4 weeks now.

We have been **** all year, except for a few games.

He's there and causes more problems with his lack of movement and pace. He's ****. I'm starting to hate him.
