I enjoyed our game yesterday minus the brain farts. Bruno and Cavani did a lot of running and closing down. Tom too was very solid. The fb been showing good attacking output in the last few weeks. It will get to a time that just 1 or 2 signings will make us title winners

KingAlabi:
Very well said

I thought you people said Ole is not a counter attacking coach?

patrickmuf:
Second goal, comical defending...

3rd goal even worse...

3rd goal isn't only on the defenders. It was a last minute direct free kick and we had everyone back

Uniquisite:
Funny thing is if we actually started Fred yesterday, the game will not be like this..because different approach will be utilized. After Pogba went off injured, Fred introduction disrupted the team balance.

I have noticed that if he get introduced later in the game, he don't settle like he does from if he start. Is it mentally or what exactly? This happen time after time

Manchester United with Fred in the team dominated the game. None of the goals scored has anything to do with him personally. Relax

patrickmuf:
Eph12, do you still believe it more about how we defend as a team or its more to do with the average CBs we parade as I opined that it is the reason we keep conceding silly goals?

We score 3 and concede 3 avoidable goals because of comical defending...No matter how well you press or keep the ball, whenever the opposition breaks the press, the chances of conceding is high...

Maguire is slow and has this tendency of always leaving his man to cover for another person...

Lindelof is panicky, he is a CB but doesn't want to go into a contest, for him, it's all about playing with the ball...He just hates defending...

The painful thing is that we can't discard Maguire, he must start no matter what...

We don't have the fastest CB we know that. That wasn't really an issue yesterday. Maguire closed down DCL for that first goal. It was a harmless ball until DDG decided to be unfortunate.

Don't let eph12 see this one o. He won't take it easy with you.

I kuku see am

Whatever job you are doing now just abandon it and open aladura church. Nostradamus ain't got nothing on you.

Lmao e shock all of us

KingTom:
For us to concede 2 goals while I rushed for a quick shower, tells you how low our concentration levels sunk. You need to see the look on my face when I rushed out to hear what the commentator meant by "Everton are right back in it".. only to find the scores at 2-2. e remain small I for fall cripple myself for this useless club

I was just shaking my head

KingTom:
Bros abeg follow me read o

We lacked concentration in the last second and it's on the team. We should learn from that and move on. All these ifs are just mere speculation. Football no be mathematics

handelex:
Ya for the assists they did wonderfully well yet they failed in their primary responsibility.

Unfortunately

timay:
Like a lot of people have said repeatedly since the season began, we can't win shit with this defense of ours.

3 goals is more than enough to win any game. But it's another story when you have trailers as defenders who can't run to save their lifes.

Put Baily in Maguire's position for the first goal we conceeded, and it would have been any easy defending

Lol so with Bailly we won't concede again?

handelex:
I still believe with him on the pitch that 2nd half, the result would have been different.

We will never know. We may even have lost with him on the pitch

KingAlabi:
Rashford don dey influence am

Someone should talk to him

What's with Greenwood trying to dribble instead of taking the shot? Greenwood last season was taking shots from awkward places

handelex:
Our defence is just too poor this season, Rashford can fvck right off for all I care but our attackers scored 3 goals only for the Maguire led defence to go and concede the same amount.

The defense assisted 2 of those goals. And Tom the DM scored 1

handelex:
Not this current Pogba Oga. With him on the pitch, Everton no see ball play.

Everton no see ball play without him on the pitch too

DDG can't rush out to save his life. He will never do that

I was actually hoping to see a midfielder to add more bodies to the midfield and help us control the game. Not bring in someone that will invite pressure on us. Chai

chrisley024:
I don't even know why he was brought in. It's not like Everton were pressing us

Honestly! We were controlling the game.

See as they just self destruct. That first goal, AWB tried to win the ball so high up the pitch. I wonder what he was doing there at that time

Aside Fred which was a forced change, any other one?

Energy level has dropped significantly

Our win is guaranteed if the defence doesn't suffer any brainfart

GloryIsaac:
As someone mentioned earlier, it’s loss of concentration. Been part of his game since he joined the club.

Thankfully it can be improved just like his attacking contributions has increased this season

afrodoc2:
I enjoyed the first half. Everybody played well and Pogba was bossing the game before he got injured.

Yeah I wasn't happy he was going off. We needed someone calm and calm handle the ball under pressure. Fred is not that guy.

KingTom:
Omo dem for score us just now

Twice AWB has kept his man on. He should watch it

KingAlabi:
Na that im hair be my problem sha, e too dey remain me of fellaine.

afrodoc2:
Turned 18 last month. He is almost ready.

Hope to see him in the senior team soon

afrodoc2:
Everyone knows Hannibal is the best player in the reserves na. He is the only person there that looks as good as if not better than Amad.

Shoretire is younger than them but he also looks to be on their wavelength. Elanga would be on that level too.

The under-18s are are also loaded but with so many of them and so much rotation it is a bit difficult to assess them properly.

I should pay more attention to the reserves and under 18 teams.

How old is Hannibal?

I was more impressed with Hannibal in that game. His movement, ball control and vision is good

handelex:
I mean those exact words were used in the post you quoted which you agreed with and said we basically play the same way.

I responded to the first part. Okay now?

Beorn1:
This!! I still don't get why some people equate the criticism of Ole to being a Mourinho or Moyes supporter.

Some prefer not to read or understand what they read or think for themselves
