Hafnia Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I just noticed Haf mentioned everyone BUT Lukaku so ghought I would set the record straight ?: I mentioned that I enjoyed seeing him take a bit of leadership and take the fight to otamendi. Let's face it he should bounce most players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Loved seeing Koeman celebrate our goals today, and his reaction to Otamendi being a bitch was funny. Matt and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) If he wanted to he could have smashed it in. For me he made sure it wasn't going to spin wide and let it go in. I wouldn't of been arsed if he had knocked it in. Everyones saying he needs to get meaner and harder, tougher. I want him to ot give a fuck as long as he scores, if that means stealing Davies goal them so be it. Davies said he tried to claim it walking off the pitch. The fact that he never touched it but still tried to claim what was a remarkable solo senior goal for a kid is shit. Yes - strikers instinctively should go for the ball.... they shouldn't after 10 minutes of clear thinking try and steal the goal. Henry actually mentioned that he shouldn't try and claim it and that he didn't think he should have claimed bolassie's. These things can cause shit. I was made up with how he responded to lookman - impressive that bit. Edited January 15, 2017 by Hafnia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Banter I reckon. This. As Lukaku is walking away from congratulating Davies he's laughing. Pantomime season is over, Lukaku isn't the villain. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Banter I reckon. Davies was laughing as he said it. Exactly that, I'd have been doing the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 The youngsters have brought the spark. Now we need our manager to channel the resulting flame. Today was a good start, but it's only a start. Strategy, tactics, game plan - let's have a bit of consistency here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Honestly I loved the 352 I think it puts our best players and strengths on the pitch. Attacking wingbacks, a strong midfield now with rotation with schneiderlin, and someone to play off Lukaku (would have loved to see bolasie play there with rom, 2 beasts would be nightmares for a Backline). I hope the 352 stays. Edited January 16, 2017 by markjazzbassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westlo Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Davies said he tried to claim it walking off the pitch.

Shukes Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I've been a big critic of Lukaku but I'm not gonna hold it against him for going after that ball. You'd be absolutely fuming if Davies' chip didn't quite make it and Lukaku just watched it roll tamely to safety. Exactly. Would rather make sure it's over the line than a last ditch bobble.

Today was a good start, but it's only a start. Strategy, tactics, game plan - let's have a bit of consistency here. The youngsters haven't brought anything Steve, arguably our best player was 36 year old Barry. Davies has been great but he's the only new addition, Lookman got 4 minutes and the game was already won. Koeman is starting to stamp his authoity on the team and bit by bit get rid of Martinez shit players and train his shit tactics out of them. He's adding quality players in and shipping the shite out. It has nothing to do with youngsters adding the spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Holgate? I think the point will be that there are 11 players on the pitch. Of which, at most, 2 are relatively new. Steve champions youth. It's good to see them get a chance, good to see them do well. But to put it all down to 2 younguns would be, I dunno, ignorant at best???

Holgate has been in and around the first team squad for 2 years, training with them also. Yes he's young but he's hardly just burst on the scene. My point, as Newty says was yesterday had nothing to do with just Davies and Holgate if you like, it was 11 players playing excellently together. Lookman, although he scored and I'm delighted played 4 minutes so never had any real bearing on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 The second half of Martinez second season and the all of his third season, i dont hink iv ever been so depressed as an Everton fan. It was grim wasn't it. As I've stated previously, my 2 boys who eat , breath and sleep football didn't waant to go the game. That speaks absolute volumes to me, you're that excited at that age nothing should dampen your spirits. Martinez managed it, not just with mine but with a lot of people I know. dlblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thought we had moved on from the Martinez talk? Koeman got everything spot on yesterday, I fully expect when he has his team the way he wants it we will see a very good Everton team, yesterday was a glimpse into the bright future.

Ha i think he needs to be brought up every now and again just as a reminder ;-) It also seems as though he is bringing out the best in Mirallas again, he really seems to be up for it lately.

It's relevant when people are slating Koeman for us being shite when he had to pick up Martinez mess. To suggest a couple of young lads being picked is what's turned it around? Not for me, the manager is slowly fixing the mess we were left in. dlblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I agree with your point, how many times do we have to point out Martinez did a shit job and its on Koeman to change it? it seems we are going round in circles on here is all. I, with a lot of people, expected miracles when he arrived, which is naïve as the squad was poor, but now Koeman seems to be getting his way through its looking better and hopefully people can stop going on about Martinez.

I couldn't agree more Marco, but when people point blank refuse to accept Martinez destroyed us and say they've seen no improvement since Koeman took over then there is going to be debate back and forth mate.
