    Matt, log into your Everton account. If you don't have one, register https://eticketing.evertonfc.com/PagesPublic/Login/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fPagesPublic%2fLogin%2fLoggedOut.aspx%3f
     
    I wonder how many of the badge haters online actually have a customer number.

    It's a great opportunity for him. I can see it being a goer if they raise their bid a bit to maybe 5-6.

    Avinalaff reacted to Newty82 in Season so far....it's hard to take in...   
    There was also a notion that most of our passes are needless ones across the back line...unfortunately thats not true....
     
    Only 25% of our touches are in the defensive third, 42% are in the middle, and 33% are in the attacking third. I was surprised at that too!
     
    Attack wise? Not enough through the middle? Shots wise, 20% from the right, 22% from the left and 58% through the middle.
     
    While we do pass it around at the back, it seems we spend less time than we think, inc. Me, with it in the defensive 3rd. We are quite nifty at moving the ball forward, into the attacking 3rd. We do use the wings a fair bit, mainly the left (46%)...then work it back into the middle...where we are supposed to finish it off!!!
     
    But I watched closely today the 'top' teams playing...they also work it at the back, move the ball forward, hit the wings, and come back in again.
     
    Also, if you are of the school of thought that we need to play more long balls...we are actually in the bracket with the typical top clubs plus the 'known' passers who all play 80-90% short passes and only around 10% long passes. The rest is made up of crosses, which we have quite a heavy use of. Very few teams in the premiership are now doing less than 80% short passes.
     
    I tried to find a player shot analysis...I found one...but the total shots dont add up to the shots we have had...
     
    Not surprising, Mirallas has been most wasteful...but then closely followed by Barkley...then Jelavic...surprising.
     
    As always, what we perceive to be true, isnt always and is actually influenced by our own prejudice.
     
    Now I must get my life back......!!!!

    Martinez is under pressure to prove Kone is a good addition, so no way are fringe strikers going to get preference at the moment. Jelly has been given a chance to prove he is first choice, and also to not upset the apple cart too much, but if Jelly doesn't score soon, he will become 2nd choice behind Kone.

    I'd take the guy again. He showed a lot of quality in many areas of his game.

    It's a reflection of our squad strength that players underperforming are keeping their places. The strikers are suffering as a result.
     
    Also, we need to draw them out of their box. Everybody we've played so far has defended in numbers, and we don't have the quality to break them down. Let them have the ball and wait for the counter etc.

    That'll be the spells where he wasn't good lol.
     
    There is no leadership on the pitch. I think we need to look at giving the captaincy to somebody with a bigger bite, but I don't see anybody out there with teeth.

    Why don't all the Everton forums run a story that City have come in with a 40m bid for him and see if United bite lol.

    I've only been here 5 minutes and I noticed Dalziel Kane said he can't make this competition due to another commitment but he would look for a copy of the book anyway so, if he wants it and this is a winner you can offer it to him. He, like a few others on here, put a fair bit into this forum.

    Appreciate the offer and a surprise of epic proportions to have been given the opportunity, but I'm not worthy of the honor. could have participated on this easily enough but took a night out instead. I'm not deserving of any Stubbs publication when others were at least present and attempted for prizes.
     
    I don't mind purchasing a copy of this when available, it'll be money well spent for once instead of wasted on other pursuits but once again, appreciate the offer but its only fair someone else should have a copy or at least more deserving. Above all else, I wouldn't have known all the games that Stubbs had scored in. There at least, signals not being worthy of a copy Thank you but please let someone else have the opportunity

    I think Fellaini offers much more than that Haf.
     
    Just because he's tall with big hair, people forget his skills with the ball. Mccarthy is not in his league mate in my opinion.

    Felli is a game winner. I don't know why so many fans are happy to see him go. While he is here, it keeps us on the footballing map, and in the eyes of Europe in terms of players wanting to join.
     
    Baines is 29 in December. If we must lose somebody, I'd rather it were Osman.
