-------------------Niasse--------------------
Bench: Stekelenburg/Robles (I really don't mind), Keane, Schneiderlin, Davies, Vlasic, DCL, Sandro
Problem is our squad is really quite big that I can't find space for some players like Lookman or Bolasie or McCarthy.

The back two of Williams and Holgate has worked the best since Sam's been in charge. Crazy the way he changed it in games he didn't have to.
I don't like that front three.
They where both carrying knocks, it was widely reported plus he is able to rotate in central defence as we have the extra bodies.
With so many games in a short period, rotation makes perfect sense.
Plus he may want to see Jags and Keane in competitive action before the Jan window.
As for the United game, I just hope the team give 100% effort in what is a semi derby.

We should try and keep as many of the core players rested for the Liverpool game as this is our only option for silverware and should take priority

I honestly can’t think of a team to put out that could trouble these, even with their issues. Niasse up front due to DCL being dead is the only obvious one.Are you really a blue ? If you are hang your head in shame ! By all means slag of the management but not someone putting a shirt on and we have not yet kicked off.

I’d be tempted to play Lookman, Klaassen and Sandro in this one because they're well rested and at some point their quality has to show. Lookman has looked good at times as he was being phased in gradually. It's unfortunate that we have also been trying to phase in Klaassen, Sandro, Keane, Sigurdsson and Vlasic at the same time. It's just not easy to phase this many players in to get up to speed in the Premier League and it's even harder when the team they're being phased into are playing absolutely shit.
Regardless - they all have my 100% support and I hope they do well.
Fixed

Vlasic, man.
He has impressed me every time, with his endeavor, strength, ball retention, and attacking intent.
However, neither Unsworth or Allardyce have seemed to trust him so I guess I'm wrong.
In the Europa dead rubber him and Lookman ran the show from the wings (yeah, I know it was a bit of a friendly match in essence, but surely we've got to start trying to take the game to the opposition rather than defending deep and en masse and hoping for the best)

Palace and Brighton showing that with real wide attackers you can create chances and hold your own in games.

I don't think its as simple as being right or wrong on Vlasic. I rate him too, certainly over Lennon. He has lost critical possession when I've seen him too. Maybe that's the issue. Or maybe there are non-football reasons that we don't know about. I think a lot of fans just watch a handful of games and concoct formations and line ups based upon what is a tiny part of the picture. But even that doesn't make anybody wrong. I do think that you have to trust the judgement of people who know the entire picture though. It doesn't happen much on here. The usual routine is to slag off whoever the manager is and ask questions later. Happened with Koeman, Unsworth and now Allardyce.

Agent wanted talks with the club hierarchy when Unsworth first dropped him. It was all ‘my client could’ve joined Inter Milan, and he’s not even getting into a struggling team, we’ll assess the situation in the summer’. Didn’t go down well. Could (and probably is) just a rumour though.

I try to give managers (and players) a bit of slack as there are always other factors we’re not aware of.
I remember slagging off Moyes no end because he continued to overlook Van Der Meyde even when we were crying out for width and creativity. Turns out he was smacked off his tits and shacked up with a stripper. My bad. I’ll apologise to Moyesy if I ever meet him.
And having read Ossie’s book; the amount of times he went out on the pitch when he was technically ‘match fit’ but in reality was nursing knee and ankle injuries and was being held together with sticky tape...well, I take back some of those ‘cunt’ sounds. Sorry Ossie.
All very cathartic, this.

I didn't slag off the manager.
In fact, I stated that I was clearly wrong if both Unsworth and Allardyce disagreed with me.
However, I stand by the original point; being passive and vaguely reactive is going to bite us on the arse if it is our default modus operandi.

Bolasie starting his second game in a week after such a long lay off is very dicey.
Seems like we're going for it from the off and hoping to score in the first half.
If we manage it I can see him trying to shut it down in the second half.
Not sure Sig deserved to be dropped, I'd have him in the middle over either of those DMs
Post by: SANA_DR0 on January 01, 2018, 10:52:40 PM
glad Vlasic is in... dont get the Kenny drop.. even less so bringing keane back in..
Bolassie will be like playing with ten men.. same as he was v west brom.. same as we was v bournemouth when McCarthy started..
hope we attack man utd... last 3-4 games have made me feel like we're playing under koeman again,

Well we’ll see but it’s a big gamble on a player short of fitness after such a long term injury.

Decent start. Though I'm already thinking Were missing Sig on all these set piecesA player that covers as much ground as he does can’t play 2 games so close together. It’d be bordering on negligent. Imagine the fume if he got injured.
The ideal scenario would just to have more quality in the squad...

I prefer Niasse’s movement up top. He didn’t have the best of halves mind you, but how many anonymous halves has DCL had?
Only curious thing is the pulling wide thing, he’s doing it enough that it seems to be for a game plan.

As good as Davies has been in the first half, I'd like to see Sig come on in place of him.
Not sure why you would take Davies off, he's the only one of the midfield with the mobility to carry the ball forward and he's done it well.
We'll probably see Sig on for Bolasie out of necessity as there's no way Bolasie has 90 in him.
DCL needs to come on for Niasse, he might not have the same goal threat but attacks are just breaking down when they reach Niasse

Very true. I do think we lack a presence with DCL though, Niasse has his faults but I think he does pull defenders about a bit more. Probably what I appreciate more when neither have a ton to work with.
We’re clearly trying to add a main striker in January so this may soon be a question of who out of Niasse or DCL we want to bring on for 20-25 mins which is probably more the sort of use they should be getting at the moment.

No vision, poor passing in the final third. A left back with no ability to put a cross in without cutting back on to his right... so easy to manage against. Just a matter of time before we concede.

I don't think Klaassen is the right type of midfielder either. He doesn't look for the ball and he doesn't dribble. From what I've seen, he mostly just moves around in search of space, occasionally contributing a nifty touch to open something up. Like a slow, passive Thomas Muller, or something like that.

Played well first half.
Second half, every single evertonian knew what was coming after five minutes and nothing was changed.
Need a goal and he takes off the one player capable of scoring one. Granted we played better once the subs came on but we aren't going to score a goal without Rooney or Sigurdsson on the pitch so it was pointless.

I agree.
Trouble is, much like Moyes and Koeman before him, I fear he will use the fact that we've conceded twice to then revert back to blanket defence and anonymous/cautious attacking intent.

Ironic that the first goal went in after a counter-attack
that wasnt a counter attack.. lol we didnt get to attack, Rooney lost control and decided to pass it square along the ground across the pitch... then they(man utd) countered..
some of it was ok today,, but still dont understand why defensive midfielders and defenders would rather try to play the killer pass or long ball across the pitch, when they have someone like Vlasic next to them.. so many times Holgate could have passed it to him/back to him, but he didnt, he just went on missions himself...
i dont mind Kenny doing that, cos he can actually attack..
also why was Niasse on the wing so much i nthe first half? at times Vlasic was the central striker.. wtf seriously..
stop all the changing around of the team., play your strongest 11, if someone is injured then change.. we seemed to be doing ok when he kept the team the same..with minimal changes.

Mad how black and white people's opinions on Everton under Allardyce are.
Im staggered that anyone can support him, honestly, we beat a shite Swansea side, luckily beat a shite Newcastle side and Huddersfield.
Ill repeat myself again because it needs repeating, no shots on target for the second home game on the bounce, thats a fucking disgrace regardless of who we're playing

Its not his team though etc...
Can't compete with the likes of West Brom and Bournemouth etc. Can't expect shots on target at Goodison Park against Chelsea and United etc
You'd think we'd swapped squads with Morecambe.

Four goals in last five matches and two of them came as a result of penalties.
Even under Unsy though we struggled from open play:
Watford was Niasse charging down the keeper; DCL from a corner; and a lucky pen.
Palace was a lucky pen; and knicking the ball back from a mistake.
Southampton was Sigurdsson great goal.
WHam was pen, good goal, wonder goal, Williams from corner.
SA has been:
H’field two decent goals.
Anfield lucky pen
Swansea lucky pen; individual goal; lucky pen
Newcastle decent goal
Bournemouth decent goal.

We need to be doing more; obviously but we’ve been imbalanced in terms of attacking since the summer.
Just don’t think a total melt down / huge criticism is right, if only from the point of view that it’s not conducting to making us better.
Didn’t think it was worth sacking Koeman to get someone who is solid primarily but he’s been appointed so I think it’s only right to give it a fair shot before mega criticisms.

Well it’s a collective from since Moyes left.
We’re not better in any position since 12/13.
Pickford probably apart.
In theory CM should be better than Osman and Neville but they’re not playing like it.
At that point we had a settled side with obvious improvements needed in CM and striker.
Pretty wide open now where improvements can be made.

There is a balance between ultra defensive and ultra attack. The sooner the owners of Everton realise this the better. We need someone who is adaptable

There was certainly a point where we were better than then, but since that we’ve sold all the better players and replaced them poorly with progressively worse recruitment choices.
I’d have thought that’s pretty indisputable.

At end of 12/13 we needed better CMs and striker.
Summer 13 we signed McCarthy and Barry, replaced Fellaini with Barkley and got Lukaku.
Lukaku replaced (and more) Fellaini’s goals and Barkley more suited to RM approach so easy to see why we improved from 6th to 5th.
From then it went rapidly down hill with aging players not replaced (Pienaar first up in summer 14) and others losing form along with the team in general.

18 months ago we had 4 of the very best young talent in European football. They’ve all disappeared bar one who nearly left last summer.
We replaced 22 year old Stones with a 31 year old and Lukaku with a 32 year old. That was almost £130m worth of talent gone while under his stewardship, under the governance of managers appointed by him.
Truly awful decisions.

Just got back to my hotel, travelled 200 miles to see that shite and have already booked non refundable train and hotel for Friday nights slaughter at Anfield, the fuckin boos from Upper Gwladys when he took Rooney off and brought Mcarthy on (although in fairness he was half decent tonight ) was a clear enough signal that Allardyce will not last beyond the end of this season, he did what he thought we wanted in terms of team selection but his game plan/tactics were a mystery to all ?
Post by: UnsyisaRhino on January 02, 2018, 03:13:00 AM
Unfortunately most of that meamt nothing because we had no real goal threat, and we were punished by two very good finishes from two bad mistakes.
They were better and created more and you'd expect them to.
Biggest take away from today is the same as the last few games, we are severely lacking in 4 or 5 key areas and massive work needs to be done to bring the squad up to scratch.
Easy to hate the way we're playing at the moment, but im genuinely worried that there arent many other options with the playing staff we have right now.

No need to come out in the 2nd half the way we did.No evidence whatever that he is losing the crowd. Where were you tonight to say that? If some clowns booed the sub of Bolassie maybe they were too thick to see he was physically finished after his first half effort? Rooney ditto except maybe Sigurdsson might have been better coming on for him. Finally your clueless statement "Seemed like we set out that second half to contain them at 0-0 and settle for the draw." Don't be stupid. Nobody planned to do that. The players fell back because they could not cope against far better players, like Pogba etc etc who turned the screw. What makes you think that our players none of whom would make it to their bench except the goalie would cope when they started to play well in the second half? They are second for a fucking good reason.

Moyes got us to 4th with 7 goal a season Marcus Bent up top and Kevin Kilbane on the wing. He consistently got us fighting above our weight year after a year and would I imagine, be a better bet than Sam Allardyce, who just seems like a dinosaur.

People are trying to tell us we shouldn't even have a go at teams because the attacking players are shit.
I'm saying that you can set up compact, whilst still having a threat going forward, and using an example to show that this team can score goals.

We had a go with Marcus Bent, we had a go with Straq, fuck we had a go with Steve Watson up front and won games!
Not a single shot on target in our last 2 home games, not one.
I don't think we did have a go with those to be honest but maybe the stats are out there.
The stat about shots on target is tiresome though. Yes it is bad. But WE are bad. We're shit. I don't know why so many people can't uncouple these two things, and I don't understand why it has to be Allardyce's fault by association. We've not been creating many chances all season, and we are not playing hoofball as I pointed out the other day. And anyway it is possible to win games with minimal shots and chances so I don't find this approach unreasonable.

David Moyes years.
Well that's not valid is it because it was a completely different team, league and era. I'm talking pre-Allardyce.
Post by: gizzblue on January 02, 2018, 03:53:37 AM
OK if it wasn't rain in your eyes then what was it that prevented you from seeing that Bolassie who had a very good first half could not last much longer and to a lesser extent ditto Rooney. Do you seriously believe they would have been taken off if fit? I know what it was, you wear anti Allardyce blinkers.If you read any of my posts lately I was and still am still willing to give Sam a window ....but you tell me them subs today were any thing but the totally wrong idea playing straight into man u hands and you must be having a pull of my leg ..if Gylfi Jonjoe etc were not fit or fatigued don't bring them for the bench..it's fucking simple really .
And like I keep saying id love to be proved wrong by Sam really I would , but all he does is prove his doubters right every game so far .
Hope your warmed up now .

He realises the effect a 0-4 hammering would have on the team's fragile confidence so he has to be cautious. ManU have world class players. We did ok today.
I'm confident that he will get the right players and balance in the team. Give him time.
Post by: Simon Paul on January 02, 2018, 04:31:04 AM
Rooney trying too hard but at 1-0 you leave him on rather than trying to protect the deficit with McCarthy.
Pickford kept us respectable again.
Holgate isn't a right back and has never claimed to be
Schneiderlin is a coward
We need a striker or two
Man Utd fans are still proper weapons

I was out for a meal and missed the game. I was gutted when I saw the lineup because it looked really fresh and attacking up front.
All I can gather from reading on here is we had a very small window where we were competitive (20, 10 r 7 mins, depending on who you believe is most accurate) and we came out the second half like a sack of shit and made poor use of the subs again.
Is that roughly it or is there more?
And did those front players - Vlasic, Rooney and Bolasie behind Niasse - get to create anything at all? Did they make any chances? Any signs of good link-up play or forward passing?
Post by: WeimaranerBlues on January 02, 2018, 04:36:26 AM
saying that 1-0 down --any subs at the time should make an impact
the games against Bournemouth and Wba are the one where he lacked belief in the players
-----100% we need to score the first goal in games--- just like we did mostly under Moyes tactics

no shots on target
Davies looping/deflected effort
Bolassie looked lively , but no one really in the box once he put his cross in
Martina got in his way quite alot in build ups down the left
McCarthy put some tackles in- than Morgs did whole game
Niasse flashed a diving header wide at the near post
Holgate no rb
Vlasic had one decent run- spent most of the time getting roasted/defensive not switched on

Funnily enough it was Mccarthy that sparked us into life. Should have left Rooney on though, and took that cowardly shithouse Schniederlin off instead

Worth remembering Sam Allardyce took over a team that had just won 4-0.
Apparently that was his doing.
Very generous of him seeing he’d never trained the players or had an actual contract at the point mind.
Post by: therealdunc on January 02, 2018, 05:10:18 AM
Regarding the game, we lost it in midfield they where far superior in the central areas.
I though Schniderlin proved why he was a United reject and not good enough for a team who are top 6.
Keane was also poor.
When Bolasie gets fit to play 90 mins it’s going to be a big plus although if he had just an extra 20% better accuracy with his crossing it would make a huge difference. The over welming majority are shocking and end up in no mans land, it was the same before he was injured and at palace. At least 5 out of 6 are awful.
One positive is Sigurdsson who looked knackered on Saturday got a rest, hopefully on Friday he is played in the number 10 role, he’s wasted on the wing and doesn’t have the pace to do it successfully.

It's literally between 13 teams to go down every season though isn't it?
There used to be a time where championship teams would come up, get 20 points and go back down. Now they're finishing midtable. The gap between the lower echelons of the premier league and the championship has shortened significantly imo.
Post by: Lxxx on January 02, 2018, 06:01:03 AM
What’s the point? The past four games we’ve had maybe two chances on goal. Is that really why we watch sport? I’m sure some people think of football as a given and you support your team whatever but should it really be the case that you pay your money to watch this rubbish? I dunno.

In fairness to Fraud, his McCarthy sub was decent. Our performance was better today and we did try to get forward. Pogba and Mata were brilliant and the difference.This is what does my head in.I stated in another thread,the position we are in at the moment I truly understand setting up to stifle the better teams,stop them playing and nicking a point or even better a 1-0 win.It was grim to watch the Chelsea and shite games,but at least we picked a point up in each.However,there is absolutely no way we should have treated the west brom and Bournemouth games the same,west brom no wins in 18,bournemouth none in 8.Bournemouth beat us,west brom should have beat us because of the selections and the timidness of our play.We handed them the initiative,and very grateful they were too.I know we are criminally weak up front,but surely he could have played a more attack minded line up and at least given the likes of west brom and Bournemouth something to think about.

I agree. Burnley, for example, have attacking players that most would agree are of an inferior standard to us but they consistently pull out decent performances and results against the better teams.

More nonsense. We played some decent football yesterday considering our attacking options. Burnley are hardly free scoring but they have had a stable squad and manager for a few years now whereas Allardyce has probably had time for a handful of training sessions if that. People are moving with this agenda thing but this is a perfect example. I honestly don't know what you expect him to achieve in the time frame he's been here and an utterly bizarre squad.
And to all the boring (apologies in advance) idiots on here who keep posting the same moaning shite day in day out, I never wanted Allardyce either. But we've got him. You lads need some internet bricks. What help does anyone think there is in constantly taking pot shots? He's probably not going to be here long term anyway.
