Champions League time 🏆

[Toffee]

Everton played terrible against United. Just constantly playing the long ball in the air to Lukaku who every time manages to jump underneath the ball. Only brought on Niasse with like 5 minutes to play. Tbh I would rather still have Naismith as an option over someone like Kone. Naismith always gives it his all. Everton looked like they couldn't care less on Sunday. We only had one shot on target from Phil Jagielka....our centreback.

Should also start Mirallas, much more inventive than Aaron Lennon who seems to lose the ball every time he gets it. He's quick but he gets muscled off the ball so easily. I think the problem they had most was just hitting long balls to Lukaku, but nobody was there to help him..

Tbh a big part of the loss was just the way that we approached the game. It's like the quick, punishing counter attacking football which has given us a great away record was just completely thrown out of the window in favour of the long ball tactic. You're right about Lukaku having nobody to help. The bad thing is though a lot of the time the ball never even made it to him in the first place.

Why isn't Roberto Martinez sacked yet? Don't get me wrong he's a great manager but doing this shite with this Everton team, i just don't get it.

[Toffee]

Yeah Everton should be a side on the verge of competing for a champions league spot. We'll have to wait and see what he does in the transfer window with the money he's been given from our new owners I guess.
