Romey 1878 Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 What a load of absolute shite. The players, other than Pickford, were woeful. And the manager, well he sent out completely the wrong message when he brought the wet wipe on that is Fabian fucking Delph. Ergh, I hate Everton.

Sometimes I am tempted to think the lack of fight is really just a lack of pace throughout most of the team. Yet the number of times so many of our players seem to be outhustled for 50-50 balls isn’t solely, maybe not even mostly, a matter of pace. We just don’t have relentless players. Godfrey and Coleman look relentless, but few others. Combine that with a variety of players who absolutely fail to challenge the goalie with half and even good chances, and the result is kind of pathetic.

Palfy Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 It would have been nice to have seen us go above the shite tonight but it wasn’t too be, very frustrating but not the end of the world first year for Ancelotti and his rebuilding process, we have made some improvement from last season and 2 or 3 new faces next season will move us further forward, and if Brands and Ancelotti can’t move us forward I have no idea where we go after them, so let’s try and stay positive and believe we are moving in the right direction.

Our front line has improved which is highlighted by the amount of goals scored compared to last season, it’s already higher with 5 games to play, we have seen an improvement in the defence generally although injuries are making it hard to maintain a consistent back 4, the MF for me is where we’ve shown the least amount of improvement although we have improved the personnel mainly for me with the inclusion of Allan and Doucoure yet we don’t seem to be able dominate good possession in the middle of the pitch, the manager knows that so I can see a new addition to the MF coming in the summer who will add a different dimension and leadership we desperately need in that area of the pitch. So not all doom and gloom some important but still a lot to come. Matt and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not all doom and gloom some important but still a lot to come. We have improved our performances against "better" teams and our form away from home (although a lot of teams have). Like you mentioned I agree we seem to stuggle when there is expectation on our midfield to run the game. Depth is certainly needed in this area and I'd like to see someone come in who is able to create and another player who is able to score goals from midfield. Not easy players to find. We can't keep going into games with Gomes and Sigurdsson our most creative players from central midfield. pete0, Palfy and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well put mate, so now it sort of comes down to do we trust Ancelotti to find the players needed or not, if people think there has been no improvement this season then they in reality can only say no we don’t trust him, if like some you believe there has been an improvement this year then you trust him and want him to carry on with rebuilding the team in his style, let’s be honest this was never going to be an easy overnight transition, it was always going to take a couple of seasons even for a great man like him.
