This from the Guardian's chalkboards article this morning:
"Everton's problems up front are longstanding, but Sunday's 1-0 home defeat to Stoke must be a new low – 67% possession, yet no shots on targets in the match, for the first time since 2008-09.
In Mikel Arteta's absence Everton lack creativity from midfield. Further forward, this surely was not the game for the 19-year-old striker Apostolos Vellios, who was fielded up front against the physical Stoke back line – he did not record a shot, nor win an aerial battle, and completed only eight passes in open play."
Pretty much just backs up what everyone else has being waying.
