Their finishing yesterday was atrocious. Most of their play throughout the game was terrible, too. Hurried, uncoordinated and often it looked as if there was no idea in mind when they had the ball.
Are they coached? the only bit of organisation I could spot was when they had a free kick, otherwise every play seemed at random. Defending was hap-hazard, and there was one header that fell to Coleman (I think) who hoofed it out of play to clear instead of getting a call and playing it out.
Okay, it's a Derby game, so maybe they played a bit differently but when you compare to teams like Spurs, City, Liverpool most of the time, Arsenal, and even Burnley, there's some thought behind the way they break, pass, the runs they make. Didn't see any of that in Everton yesterday. If they'd scored at any time in the first 85 minutes I would have considered it an accident. Then in that last 5 they had no composure at all.
