Central midfield is really the only area where we have decent cover
Great tackle by Mane. He loves being the main man, as well as being supporting cast. It's hard not to love him.
Impression?
No fucking chance
If I'm going to watch an average team, with players who aren't at the required level, at least make them young so I can delude myself into thinking that they will iron out their deficiencies.
I haven't read the whole thread, but are there still people who rate Solanke? Utter shite. Couldn't trap a bag of cement.
Indeed. They are leaving so much space between their CBs and Midfield. We are equally shit to not have capitalized.
I still rate him.
I was quite impressed whenever I saw him play for Burnley. Which wasn't often, but anyway. He was very hardworking and ran all across the front line and in behind, and also scored a few.
I had similar thoughts when I first saw Vardy, but there's really no comparison based on this game so far. Dreadful
Most disappointing performance in attack was Ings.
It needs someone on that bench that can get past Pickford and grab us the 3 points we need.
He seems to be coming deep. Very deep.
He made N'Gog look like Ian Rush in that half. He can only improve. I hope.
He can and will.
Our attack seems weird. Everyone is drifting everywhere, but no one is filling the gaps.
Loath though I am to admit it, Graham Poll used to ref these games more sensibly, in the sense that he reffed from the first whistle rather than waiting for the second half to start dishing out cards all over the place. I think that's why many of derbies under Rafa were quite calm affairs. Yes, there's a risk of a first half sending off, but at least it stops Everton from making the game into a Hobbesian battleground.
I wouldn't mind a draw here and no players injured, so we should slow it down and be patient.
I've seen absolutely nothing this season to suggest he'll ever make it here, even as a bit part player. Origi is ten times the player.
He has to do better. He is a senior player, regardless of past injuries. You can sort of forgive Solanke for being naive and getting out-muscled but at least he is trying to do something. Ings take the safe approach, jogs around aimlessly and takes bad first touches. One touch to stop the ball, and the 2nd touch is a tackle.
We need a better forward next season.
Doing well. At least as effective as he was before his injury.
