MikeO Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Well, the Echo gives Lukaku, Kone, Barkley, and Galloway a 7, so clearly not everyone agrees Rom played crap. Mirallas, on the other hand... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-fc-2-2-watford-9818460 TIM HOWARD 7 The American had precious little to do and couldn't really be faulted for the goal. Did they forget the second one, which I thought he should've got closer to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Also, this is just wrong, maybe mixed up the players... BRYAN OVIEDO N/A No real time to make an impact STEVEN NAISMITH N/A Lively and linked up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Offside??? pete it's a joke! I've seen 15 year old kids who work lines better. No diagonal runs, no check backs. Hejust runs straight line. It's not good mate. I see a different player, runs the channels and gets back far too much trying to be involved. Frustrates me when he's looking forward and goes so often without even a sniff from our midfielders to pass it through. Sounds as if we're agreeing to disagree any how... Until next Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Got to say I do agree on the offside issue - it's not often Rom's fault, it's the speed/awareness of his service. That's why we need a number 10 so desperately. It'll be interesting to see the stats if/when we get this much needed playmaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Well, on the OS, none other than John Stones is MOTM. Huh? Yes, except for the howler, his play was solid, excellent at times. But the howler surely ought to have eliminated him from consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith B Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Don't think Howard had much to do; not sure the goals were on him. But I do agree that Galloway looked good. I was happy with his performance and think he's a promising player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Credit where it's due to Kone's goal and assist. Hopefully he'll be a useful asset this season. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Went with Cleverley for actually wanting the ball. Barry was a close second for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Kone for me. Cleverley, Galloway, Barry, and Stones played well. One thing about Kone's goal that impressed me. His last stride, maybe 2, were accelerated and very long, to beat defender. The strike itself was taken first-class. We can only hope that was the real Kone, and not the other guy we've been watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I went Kone, solely because after missing that header, he could have hidden from the game. Instead he wanted it and got us back in the game twice. Delighted for him. efc1111 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Care to give more insight Dunc? I'm pretty certain there were others responsible for this shite, McCarthy and Barry to name but if people are gonna bleat about supposed lack of service as an excuse for being shite for one player then I'm interested to know how he did aside from that. How is he supposed to put the ball in the net if we never get it up to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 How is he supposed to put the ball in the net if we never get it up to him? It would help if he controlled passes for a start, it would help if he wasnt offside so often. But hey - it's Romelu Lukaku, it's the teams fault not his.

MC11 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 The problem for me is everytime the ball goes into him I expect us to lose possession, he was really that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan his lack of control is a massive concern. Does every pass need to be on the deck to him? Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof_It_Nev Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Been given to Stones on the OS. Haven't seen the match or highlights, but certainly goes against what has been said here. Trying to make him feel wanted or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
