Competitive gsme. Everton have genuinely improved but are still too focused on humping it rather than using the talent. We are too focused on counters rather than keeping it. Counter when a counter ris on but playing 20% balls is giving the momentum to them. Bradley has done ok. Kerekez has done ok. Everton will get their chance here. We dont really look like it until we are level. Then we actually play with intent. As long as we play with no intent we give momentum to the opponents. The second we concede and atsrt going sides cant get near us.
No running there. Only ball is a 40% ball trhogug at isak. The man wide moves up amd we keep it and play up there and control. Player not willing to make the 3 yard run as he wanted an easy run back
Unfortunately its been more like vs Bournemouth and Newcastle rather than vs Atleti. In the 2nd half we've only really had the Wirtz half chance in open play where he needed to go first time instead of cutting inside.
Salah should be shooting with his flight foot there far too long before trying a left foot strike. Let the var sort the lines after.
We lack intent.amd lack the willingness to go forward as we then have to run back. If you work forward properly you wouldn't be giving it away every 30 bloody seconds. Too many long balls. Better take this corner ****ing short.
I think we are trying to say games out when we get a two goal lead to save energy But we are just getting it wrong ?
Yes. And there's nothing wrong with managing games as long as its done the right way - it just hasn't been done the right way for the most part. Still, you can't really argue with 6 wins in 6
Yes. The intent needs to be there to scare these sides. When you are not arsed to run back you dont go and then the options become so limited someone has to play a poor ball or go back. There's enough subs and quality thst if thry are a little tired they can come.off. It was wirtz out there who wouldn't go and the ball ended up as a nothing ball at isak. Only on the park. Unacceptable. Be the option, keep going while you sre on amd let the manager manage the fitness from the bench amd line ups. Good win. Roll on to the tougher games in their block
