Everton (A) Post Match

How come after spending so much money we have ended up with such a **** team?

Because we signed players for a different formation we no longer use.

I don't think the team/squad is that bad. It's just that the manager is clueless

Because we buy players who aren't good enough or don't suit the system, and waste a stupid amount of money.

I thought so too, but Ings seemingly had a knock so I guess that makes sense for Ings to go off. I suppose he kept Sturridge and Coutinho on as they are the two match winners we have in the side. Lallana was really the only player on the bench who IMO has the ability to change the game.

I would've kept on Studge & Couts. I'd love to say there was someone on the bench who'd shown they were ready to grab the game by the scruff of the neck, but that isn't the case.

Both, I would say.

Do you think he had a particular formation in mind when he signed the players, because I am still not convinced.

Put our best players in our best formation and we're still lacking.

You're a glass half empty man I see.

That's because he signed the wrong players for his proffered formation. He's gone for creativity every year when he should've been adding pace & power to go with it.

You can't really have a team of creative midgets in England. And even Barca who are the team everyone dreamed of emulating had Busquets in there as a shield.

Lallana & Firmino are great players but Rodgers should've signed a strong pacy wide man like Bolasie.

Yes, goodbye u waste of space and don't forget to take your **** with u

Oh **** off show some ****ing class. He tried his best, he is one of us, have a ****ing word with yourself.

I'm not convinced because he didn't sign any players who I would consider wide forwards to play in the front 3. I don't see how it would ever have worked with the players we have.

Even average teams have a better record than that.

Well that's why it's never worked for him.
