We went into the EVERTON game with 3 of our 1st choice back four out of the game. Had we had Brown,OShea and Richardson fit things could have been different. Larrson , what has happened to him, his form has dipped alarmingly, he appeared last night to be unable to kick the ball even from set pieces? Everton did dominate. We coudln't get going, Evertons midfield were excelllent and we struggled to cope. I think MON struggled last night. His substitutions were bizarre? Was Colback injured as he wasn't on the bench? I can forgive the first substitution as Gardner has done well at right back and we needed a bit more mobility at centre half. The second subsititution was gob smacking though. Campbell to right wing, fair enough but then not to take off Seb who was having a stinker and instead move him into the middle of the park, then push Vaughan out to left back and take off Bridge - well I just didn't get it. To be honest there was a period in the second half where the team imploded and pretty much beat itself. We couldn't string a pass together and kept giving the ball away which eventually lead to the most bizarre second goal. Sitting in the stands you could see that goal coming a mile off. It was like slow motion, nobody around him 2 defenders, JUST DON'T TOUCH IT!!!!! Sure enough..........summed up the night. Nothing went our way. Thought the ref was very weak with Everton players. They got away with some terrible stuff. However I'm not blaming the ref for our inept performance.....could we have picked a worse night to be absolutely ****e in every department. I thought Bendtner started like he was really going for it, winning headers and everything in the first five minutes then he hardly got a pass all night. Fellani was allowed to run the game at will and O'Neill should have stuck a man on him to stop him playing, may as well have been Mcclean. Mig needed to stop kicking the ball all the time, a roll out now and then would have been good. It all went horribly wrong. I just look forward to the day it all goes beautifully right!
