Keith B Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 RM must have given the boys a proper kick in the ass because this is the best half of football I've seen from them since the United game last season.

pete0 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Stupid yellow luckily didn't cost us. As much as i'm enjoying the game I wish that was the full time whistle. MikeO and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Barkley's pass for Rom's 2nd was a bit behind him, in all honesty. Rom has done really well to score both of his chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 what a half. this 442 has us playing very good football. i really think Kone and Lukaku are a great pair, and Kone is in some form right now, that cross was a thing a beauty, and Lukaku is back to his finishing ways. Ross really up for it today, I"m so glad to see he's back to form. I hope we continue to attack and are able to deal with Soton's halftime changes and win.

Matt Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Great stuff. Possession play in their half, but we're mixing it up between direct and counter too. Great stuff. Howard - brilliant save, so important. Everything he's had to do, he's done with ease. Mixed up his distribtion too. CBs are being pillars of strength, McCarthy and Barry moving things along. Galloway and TC don't work, the latter having a rough first half... But, more importantly... Ross, Kone, Lukaku. Simply brilliant. Supporting Lukaku is meaning he's not having to run here, there and everywhere, meaning he's got the energy to be strong, which is helping his confidence. Kone has been that, initially suspected but rarely realised, perfect foil. He's halving Roms workload and Ross has 2 people to choose when going forward, allowing him to run into the space the 2 strikers are creating for him. More of the same, please. I can't actually remember being happy about watching Everton since.... I don't know when... edit> oh, and look what happens when you give him a ball to run on to...

milesey05 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I'm still sticking to my previous post about a joke starting line up. Fuck me have those 11 made me eat my words. Lukaku Barkley and Kone ( in their half ) been brilliant. Stones and Jags solid. Hope we can keep it up.

Matt Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Ross letting himself down now. No pressure, letting players go. Come on, Ross!
