Shukes Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Well that half told me one thing. Richarlison is way above our level. What a player we have here. Hope we can handle this guy right as he can be a real asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong, he has been bang average but I'm not sure what else he is meant to do in that situation. The ball was played from the right into Gana who was central. Coleman would have been supporting Sandro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 4 minutes ago, Newty82 said: Depends on manager instructions though? Most the time when full backs push on, the CB's split and the DM sits in. Usually only one player is a true DM. I remember when Schneiderlin first joined, that's exactly what we/he would do. The whole point of DMs is to provide that cover. Gana was forward so it was Schneiderlin doing the job. Incidentally he was in the RB channel but if you get the chance look at his body position as he was completely square on. He was doing the job the manager asked of him without the competence of being able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Shukes, should've made myself clearer! I only meant shit in defensive terms, you'll always get a good attacking showing from him (apart from maybe his crossing).

Ai, but what I'm saying is that only one of them is an actual sitting DM...Morgan...Gana tends to go forward too...so if both full backs go forward, as they do in every attack, then one DM can't cover both, so usually it's the CB's that split and the DM sits in between. That's how I like it anyway! Otherwise you gain no numerical attacking advantage when the full backs go forward if 2 mids have to sit back everytime.

EFC-Paul Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Wolves will absolutely dry bum us with that shower of shit defence We look terrible possibly the worst I can remember in pre season, we can't accommodate or play Morgan and Gana in the same side we need two new CB's and a LB a creative mid and a striker..... We best do some good business in the next week and a bit or on the face of it we are fucked Newty82, Formby, nyblue23 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more than the CBs (who are crap), we need a creative outlet who can bring the wingers into play or thread a ball through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hard to see why Stek, Jags, Keane, Schneiderlin, Gana, and Sandro are still Everton players. Baines should be cover only as he was blowing out of his arse after about 60 mins, and I'm struggling to see what Sigurdssen actually does looks very pedestrian. Richarlison is gonna be thinking what the fuck has he let himself in for. EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both down his side of the pitch and he's absolutely nowhere to be seen We badly need to sign a central midfielder that will run forward with and without the ball, and can pass accurately. We've got fuck all in the middle of the pitch and it's killing us. We already have one in Besic. I'd deffo play him before Schneiderlin.

Paddock Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 The whole fucking team needs binning bar Pickford, Coleman and Richarlson. Everyone moaning about the defence- well we’re not scoring goals either. That’s 1 goal in 4 pre season games. Bad fucking times all over the pitch.
