So apparently I seem to be in the minority that thought we were overall dreadful today.
My brother and apparently a handful of others seem to think we played well?
If ever there was a case for performances being subjective!
Anyhow, one fact that I cannot stand is just sitting deep and playing defensive football inviting pressure from the off.
All 3 goals were preventable, our passing was sloppy, but throughout the team there was no energy, no width, no running or providing an option and I've seem more urgency at a flipping funeral!
I just don't understand how we can play so negative. Every single throw-in, it's Mitchell passing it backwards and it's back with Johnstone within seconds. Likewise, every free kick we get, we seem to be allergic to passing it forwards. We must waste 20 mins per game doing sideways passing. Any other team would send players into the box and cross it to see what happens. Whereas winning a FK never has any territorial advantage to us whatsoever and we normally end up panicking and in trouble within seconds!
Our only urgency came after conceding 3 times. It's unacceptable that we're just so negative. We have the players. Why didn't Olise come on at HT or at least earlier than he did? Why didn't Franca come on instead of Ahamada at the end, when we're already losing 3-2?! And Doucoure has the most interceptions in Europe last season. Why on earth we didn't bring him on when we clearly needed more muscle in the middle, is beyond me.
3 points wasted. Everton deserved it cos there was only one team trying today. We were 2nd best throughout and very disappointing.
I sure as hell don't know what we do in training, but this was absolutely dire.
It would just be nice if we had a manager that set out a team to at least TRY to show ambition and win!
