361, cautious, varied, TTC, no playmaker, offsides, no win bonus, prepared, sub slightly injured.

Got to get Coates & Carragher's ME up to get good DV.

I disagree with a couple of things. No offside trap (lol at a Stoke player being offside!), and we are definitely playing LRS. Rest is spot on though.

No... we're playing through balls if anything.... but that only works if you have pace.

Gerrard might be the playmaker... but he's certainly being man-marked by the opposition.

We dont need to concede corners

 

[6TimesaRed]

Get Carrol on, our style of play is crying out for it..

 

[Squiggles]

'Frustrating year for Carroll'?

More frustrating for us!

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

We've got a style?

 

[6TimesaRed]

Where are the players in the box... Ffs...

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

They're all defending Jono. It's our style.

 

[StevieM]

Stoke are playing 451, very defensive, bruise, TTC, decent win bonus, man-mark Gerrard, long balls, no play-maker..

if we were playing 352, attack the wings... we'd be in....

 

[Insignificance]

Downing is really really pants. Worst signing in 2011.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Carroll coming on... Bout time..

 

[Squiggles]

Brilliant pass from Adam.

Carroll

 

[6TimesaRed]

First time we had players in the box all game, shiite cross from enrique

 

[MaBigTip]

FFS Carroll on for Downing? really we need 5 defenders?

 

[ElMalarkey]

good sub.

 

[Ijg]

I suppose it is an early change.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Laughable...

[/quote] You do when you're more concerned about not losing than winning.

 

[ILD]

Was Downing the right choice there to come off?

 

[Skullflower]

Get the fuck off the pitch, downing.

Skrtel to cover for Carra....

 

[StevieM]

Great defending from Carroll.....

.... for Stoke....

 

[Athens]

Some great work from Carroll there, getting in the way of that shot like that.

 

[Squiggles]

Carroll really does play like a random Evertonian off the street.

 

[ElMalarkey]

replacing Downing is adding an extra player... Simple as.

Enrique and Johnson are better attacking options than Downing. We are defending with 3. We need people in the box though. Why is Carroll ever leaving the box?

 

[ElMalarkey]

True. He did just donkeykick when going for a ball.
