WigstonWanderer Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Comfortable start but a bit worrying how they seem to be getting back into it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the defensive mids job to cover the gaps, no? Not when that midfielder will be crowded out by any midfield of the opposition. I don't have any issue with the tactic as it allows the wing back to get forward. Tielemans virtually plays as a DM but a play making one, as opposed to Mendy who's more of a safe bet...

We've gone more negative since then, preferring to play safe passes around the back and let them back into the game. I don't get it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Decent half that, some great football at times. Tielemans and KDH making everything tick in midfield - we do look by far the better team here. Just need a little more from Nacho up front, not really getting into those good positions to create chances when we go forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 (edited) Same story as Newcastle if we don't wake up second half. overall we had a good half though. Edited 20 April 2022 by whoareyaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we didn't want to keep that tempo and forward passing up as we could have had 2 or 3 before these even woke up Will be the lasting memory of Rodgers, you could copy and paste your post and add it to 90% of the match threads since he's been here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adejo92 Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Absolutely love how toxic Everton has become. We have come right off the pace and unless anything changes, we'll end up getting punished. I know he's scored, but besides that Barnes hasn't done anything. I think him off for Lookman will increase our threat. Think Mendy has been good so far.

Vacamion Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 We should have capitalised on that opening 25 minutes, when Everton were utterly, utterly honking and the crowd were on their backs. Want to see more from our attackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kopfkino Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Started well, stroked it around with pace and purpose then Brendan got stroppy with someone that we were being so positive so we started dicking around with it, doing **** all losing it and ending up under pressure.

The whole world smiles Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 We were absolutely scintillating in the first 15 / 20 minutes, best we've played all season but Everton have come right back into it and are unluky not to be level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 We just have nothing in the final 3rd, doesn't matter who plays out of Daka or Nacho. Waiting for Barnes to actually want to take a game by the scuff of its neck. Maddison wasted wide right for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasPb Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Decent half, lost a bit of fizz at the end. Get the ball direct to kelechi and have our full backs running behind please. We can win this just need to take 1 make more chances and 2 take them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l444ry Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Daka may be sruggling to adapt to our style of play but he's a far better option than Nacho in the one up top role. Works harder and gets shots away if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
