Match Threads Everton vs Spurs

[StevePil]

VDV is different class....

 

[Styopa]

Difficult tactically to get a grip on this game because they’re playing so many long balls.

We need to keep hold of the ball in midfield but our two best midfielders-Bents especially but also Maddison don’t look fully at it.

 

[absolute bobbins]

Has Jordan Pickford ever seen a football before, let alone kicked one?

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

Mickey is easily the best CB in the league

 

[Zippy1980]

Oh Richy

 

[Johnny J]

Why wait so long for the fucking flag you pricks

To see if VDV hamstring goes again.

 

[idontgetit]

I don't think its that.

I think the opposition reacting to going down and become more aggressive.

Itll be something we figure out in time

Whether we look to slow the game down for a spell or squeeze up the pitch and react better. We will see.

But I don't think we are choosing to slack off.

It also helps when your midfield is not rusty because they would play through the press more frequently

It's not 'choosing', it's subconscious. Players take a fraction of a second longer on the ball, pass backwards rather than risking a forward pass. Defender doesn't make a run they would have done. It adds up across the side and snowballs.

When chasing a game you know the run will be made and the ball will be played. Everything is smoother.

Of course the other side gets a huge vote in it and their mentality changes but it does us no favours going on the back foot.

Mickey =

Them the kind've passes Werner needs.

Hopefully onside next time

 

[Thenewcat]

Werner has to get his body across and play that left foot

 

[luRRka]

Great move

 

[Gbspurs]

To see if VDV hamstring goes again.

In this instance it's to let Richy get clattered

 

[PhantoM47]

Even though he was off, wish Werner had put that away for some confidence.

 

[Johnny J]

Need to keep finding those Werner runs. So dangerous.

 

[Matrix]

Hope Everton go down.

 

[EastUpperDK82]

Werner needs to cut in front of Godfrey there... he's waiting for the ball.

 

[LSUY]

The new offside rule stating the lino has to wait before raising the flag has to change. Only a matter of time until a player is injured when a quickly raised flag could have prevented it.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Go to the ball Werner

 

[jonnyp]

Werner should've attacked that cross from Brennan instead of waiting for it

 

[ItsBoris]

The Dutch are gonna have a hell of a defense with Micky and Van Dijk
