Everton Rumours Archive September 17 2017

Koeman you have lost the plot mate. Rooney (I apologise Wayne) was everywhere, the thing is when he got the ball where was the support or target. Midfielders with no pace, a team sitting so deep it was virtual capitulation, someone has to take the hit. This is the worse Everton side I have seen for years. So what has happened.

Lookman should be starting, you need pace.

you see spurs have been linked with 2 barkley-esque players this week alone would love to be a fly on the wall at his contract offer. thing is it will be a clear message to ross that any idea of a big contract is clearly gone. there is no definitive answer to what's wrong koeman's tactics and formations are wrong the players he picks and why he picks them is a mystery. for the life of me still don't know why we bought williams, keane is suffering from having an unsettled defence, but with williams keane and jags you just can't play a back 3 against good players they're just not quick enough. the board and koeman knew we needed another defender but didn't get one. the midfield is another hotspot both gana and morgan are too similar and rooney is filling there postions as the game wears on, but neither of them push forward. we have pace and defenders coming back from injury would we be in this position if seamus and bolasie were playing probs not. we have no clear leader on the pitch this maybe due to language barriers i don't know. imo koeman has forgotten the most fundamental thing in football making 11 guys play as a team cause a team they are not currently. whole thing is a nightmare, but if koeman wants us to play high tempo football like southampton did then he is going to have to start playing a more youthful 11 cause the current 11 are a joke.

Liverpool fan an here, I don't think the team is hat bad it's just josh key components, pace and a target man a lot of players were purchased and will need ti gel. I thought bo the players are good players maybe they're struggling with the system.

Dare I say it balotelli looked good on a free 😂😂 We need a presence up front Rooney turns back too many times and lost the ball far too much today think the team would be better without him in it.

Eddy Rooney was one of our best players today by far problem is he is turning back as there is nobody in front of him to play it into. In my opinion Rooney is best played just behind the striker benteke would have been an ideal target man for a season or two or giroud problem is we miss that target man and again today it showed.

{Ed025's Note - he gave the ball away too much for me keato and slowed the game down too much, it seems like everything goes through him and others are overlooked for his sake, just my opinion though mate..

Rooney was one of our better players today, it's jags and williams that worried me today and it's nothing to do with there pace.

martina and Williams are a major problem and should both be dropped but overall I thought we did well yesterday and not for the first time the scoreline flattered utd.

Truebluemetz. You can't honestly say he was the best player for us. He lost the ball more than anybody else on the pitch! Take your Rooney goggles off!

after today it looks like a decent run where we can charge up the league.

4 minutes in and 1 - 0 down already.

No Niasse and Lookman no DCL starting game and side show bob in defence may as well go home now.
