Shukes Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 really? I feel like the play is breaking down everytime it goes through him[/quote He's still the only player who has done anything though, that's how bad we have been. At least Pienaar is looking for it and trying to play his own game. O really can't see another Everton player doing anything. That move is what I mean.

Shukes Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm surprised guys! I really haven't seen another player do anything other than panick. I would really be surprised if any other player has had more touches other tHan our nervy defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Massive positive is that we're still level....fuck knows how. We can't possibly be as bad second half.....I hope . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Some of our touches are horrific. Pienaar, Coleman, Osman, McCarthy...all been gash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 We play FROM the back against poor sides and play AT the back against the better sides..... That needs changing otherwise there's gonna be no evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 we need barkley and delafeu at the half for osman and either pienaar or mirallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Beat me to the punch there. There's no way we can be as poor second half.... on a positive we've played that badly and still kept Spurs at bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 We need to step it up. Our players look way too nervous on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodisonRoad Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Awful first half. No urgency at all and look lost whenever we get hold of it. McCarthy is doing all his work off the ball well but when he gets hold of it, he's like a rabbit in the headlights. Coleman has done nothing going forward and been a complete liability defensively as well. They need a kick up the arse, big time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I think Pienaar has been ok, along with Osman. Are we watching the same match? Mirallas on the other hand. Terrible and the cause of several chances for Spurs. Looking back on the first half, Tottenham by far the better team but not that many clear goal chances to be honest. Everton defense has settled down and look like they are in more control now. Its build up play that is failing. We are not keeping the ball within the team and Spurs are closing us down to easely. We need Barry and McCarthy to be more accurate in their passing. Mirallas needs to stop fucking about with the ball, he has lost it several times in dangerous places. He caused McCarthys booking. Hopefully a different Everton in the next half. The only change I would like to see early is Mirallas off and Deulofeu or Naismith on.

Sibdane Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I would really consider Gerard. We need someone with some poise on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcirony Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Deulofeu might just be able to get the ball up the field and relieve some of the pressure. At the moment Pienaar is just losing the ball and putting us on the back foot again. Need to sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Despite the fact that we have none of the ball, we don't really look like conceding. Apart from possible PK when Coleman was caught out we've been fairly comfortable in defense. Obviously going to need to do more going forward in the second half, but we know that we have that ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 wouldnt complain for a couple of changes at half time like people have said delo and barkley for mirallas and osman. we are defending really really well however we cant link our defense and midfield together when we retain possession. first touches, dribbles made and passes have all been poor, with many players being caught in possession all too often. lukaku looks like the most likely to make something happen and has been putting in a shift (once again) defending set pieces. they need a kick up the arse in that dressing room.

Blue 250 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Question is what Martinez has up his sleeve, we're not in the game, we're holding on.This is why we have so many subs on the bench these days......you can change things round a bit.
