milesey05 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Went 1-0 up and thought it’s okay to sit back and see the game out for 30 fucking minutes! Only 1 team were going to score and that was Palace!!! fucking shit tactics Carlo!! Disgrace at home yet again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Our biggest problem is desire. We don’t have many players that have that desire to win their individual battles. Godfrey will fight anyone for the ball. Do we have anyone else? Look at City. Up front they have Jesus who will fight anyone, all over the pitch they have these winners. Most teams have a few. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Just saw a replay of the Palace goal. When the ball went in, none of our players looked all that bothered. No one threw their hands up in frustration, no one had a passionate response to the goal. It's mentality. It always comes down to mentality. badaids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo 2.0 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 That's on DCL and Richarlison, more than enough chances to put the game to bed and they fucked up every single one of them. If Barcelona want to spend £100m on the latter I'll drive him to Catalunya myself, when you can't do it against Crystal Palace you ain't doing it in Europe. This result has pissed me off more than any other this season I think. It should, easily have been about 5 or 6-1 but instead we've dropped two points. Like I said, it's on the strikers and I live in the hope that Carlo tears them a new one after the final whistle. Can't really be arsed going into detail about much more. Should Olsen have done better? Yes, but the game should have been put to bed at that point. This is one of them nights where the players are lucky that we're behind closed doors, Goodison would not put up with that. duncanmckenzieismagic, chicagoblue, Sibdane and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palace's best attacker today, Richi their best defender. Piss poor second half from Ancelotti as well. Taking Coleman off leaving Keane on, then inviting the pressure by taking James off. Piss take leaving Richarlison on as well. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted April 5, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 These dropped points are on the multiple missed opportunities from DCL and, I know it's somehow a crime to say it but, Ancelotti too. DCL needs to be better in one v one situations and Ancelotti shut up shop far too fucking early, which invited pressure and we inevitably caved. Think Europe is a pipedream unless Carlo fixes his own mentality tbh. Elston Gunnn, nyblue23, chicagoblue and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsta Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 To many just happy to go through the paces, no one wants to take responsibility. No European football next year will be a good thing, we need to buy well in the summer and improve the squad. Our forwards are not up to the standard required, missing easy one on ones, not just tonight. There is no one in midfield who picks us up, and drives us on, no leaders, and no pride. I know we were missing 2 players with bite, but even that has not been enough this season. Carlo has a lot of work to do, and i for one am prepared to wait, and trust him to sort it out.

Matt Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Win our game in hand and we’re 5th. I know we all like to think it’s the end of the season and call relegation when we drop points but the table doesn’t lie. Absolutely got to stop dropping these points, but I’m not writing anything off yet.

johnh Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 If you look at the teams above us, they all have a far superior goal difference (even West Ham!). Not surprising when you see the chances we missed tonight. Break the bank and buy Aguero, we need someone who knows where the net is. Aguero would have had a hat-trick tonight.

Tonight has been one of the only occasions where we’ve missed clear chances all season - I think we’re statistically the most clinical team in the league based on the xG data. I agree, finishing was poor tonight, but it’s not been a season-long trend. nyblue23 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Toffee Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Each week i get my hopes up. This will be the first week in a long time we play strong for 90+ only to be let down. Shame on me for having new hope each week We will be lucky to finish tope ten at this point. We don't deserve Europe at this point. So many to blame..

Don’t get me wrong, tonight was poor finishing. But Richie got himself into position to have about five chances tonight. Any other night he gets two of those. But in typical Everton fashion, we write them off. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Our problem is the same problem we’ve had for years - we can’t control games as we don’t have the central midfield players to do so. It’s slightly different this season as we actually have those players in Doucoure and Allan with James but can we get them all on the pitch together at the same time? Nope! Davies, Gylfi and Gomes have all done well in patches but they weren’t good enough last season and they’re not good enough still... we still need to address centre mid option desperately as we basically get overrun by every other team without our key midfielders playing.

Romey 1878 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 West Ham are a team that wants Europe, believes they can get it and have a manager trying to get it.

Wiggytop Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Disappointed is an understatement, why do we get a goal lead and sit back on it, we have a great manager and some good players to go and and win by a few goals, I guess if two of the chances we missed had been a few inches either side it would have been at least 3.

Tonight’s result wasn’t because of a poor midfield it was because of poor finishing, and trying to defend a one goal lead with 20 minutes to play, the hardest opportunity was finished by James one opportunity and taken and that’s difference between quality and just good.
