Everton Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

@NeverRed@spursram

Adopters of Tommy Carroll heed the call....

I'm just speechless about some of the comments......unfortunately can't watch the game where I am.

 

[yiddopaul]

Shall we all just trust Poch and his selections. Just a thought.

 

[goughie1966]

Meltdown in full force on the Everton forum except for this little gem:

"Seems strange fearing Spurs as their team looks weaker than ours on paper - Unfortunately they've managed to get some results unlike us"

Wow, just leaves me speechless..........

 

[oskathegobshite]

Souness is bitter as fuck about what happened to him at Spurs and always has been. Great player but total pillock. The Modric comment was outrageously poor punditry and should have resulted in the immediate dissolution of his contract with sky.

 

[Chris12]

What Modric comment?

 

[jonathanhotspur]

Alli was playing with Dier in front of back 4 for most of season and it worked so well it got him into England squad.
Carroll is a small lightweight playmaker not suited to that role imo.
Thats why I don't get it.
Carroll in the 3, no problem but asking him to break up play when he's 5ft 2" and 8 stone?
Not for me Clive.

I think it's Carroll's small head that has people thinking he's weaker than he actually is.

 

[mightyspur]

How many minutes until the Everton fans either scream "handball!" or start booing?

 

[Ossie85]

No, not Carroll again!!

 

[dickieven]

COYS. Can only listen to this on TalkShite radio today so not looking forward to that. 3 points will make it worthwhile though.

 

[Hazardousman]

I have a bad feeling. I don't know why, I sincerely hope I am wrong can't afford to lose this with teams behind us gaining momentum, anything but a loss please spurs. COYS

 

[oskathegobshite]

What Modric comment?

Called him a five a side player and weak link at Madrid. Someone else mentioned it earlier in this thread

 

[Scot-Spur]

Just need to give our all, hopefully that will yield the result!

 

[spursbhoy67]

Well then why are they often wrong?

They are only obligated to turn in a sheet not to give truthful information. Gamesmanship.

Just shows he knows fuck all to be honest.

its all about roles. Carroll is not in there to get stuck in - that is Dier's role. Carroll is the creative outlet, to push the ball up the pitch. Carroll will be tasked with getting in front of players, and hunting in packs, on defense, and providing an outlet for Dier/Jan/Toby

 

[fatpiranha]

Carroll? Ugh .

 

[mark87]

Andy hinchcliffe the Co-commentator?

 

[Chris12]

Always find the refs slapping each other hands funny. "Let's fucking destroy these two teams!"

 

[Shadydan]

Did Graeme Souness just say Pochettino's job was on the line before Harry Kane started scoring last season....

*adds that to list of Sounessisms, which include Modric being a 5 a side player and the weak link at Madrid.

Don't forget Francesco Totti is a luxury player

 

[DaSpurs]

I'm with you. Eriksen on the right is a head-scratcher.

Eriksen anywhere on the flank is a headscratcher.
