Everton really are a basket case at the moment defensively, as highlighted by the pundits. They are not even doing the basics of tracking back with their man. Ashley is a busted flush, they just seem totally disorganized at the back. Watch them sign a new manager and be transformed into a top team again just before we play them.
It must frustrate the hell out of you as a manager when you play a top team, keep them in check for ninety minutes and even carve out chances to win the game, only for a stupid defender to throw it all away in injury time with an ill judged push in the back. I refer to Burnley's James Tarkowski shoving Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal to give away a penalty which Sanchez slotted home for the three points. Shaun Dych was spitting feathers afterwards, but it was his own player's fault. Lee Mason is a crap ref at the best of times, but when your crowd has been booing him solidly for 30 minutes, the last thing you want your defender to do is give him an excuse to award a spot kick. I know Ramsey made a meal of it, but what striker wouldn't?
Huddersfield parked the bus, the articulated lorry and the 747 in front of their goal against Citeh but it still wasn't enough to grind out a point. Citeh are awesome, fair play. I am sh*tting myself to think what they're going to do to us at the Liberty on 13th December. Huddersfield were playing a 1-6-4 formation but it didn't keep them out. Clement will probably try a 1-9-1 line up. |  | | |  |

Ah right. All teams play with a goalie see, it's the other ten you need to sort into a formation, you plank.  | |

I think the planks will be needed over the goals.
Even then they'd still find a way through |  |

Only 4 teams have conceded less than us so far this season so defensively we are not as shambolic as some think. | | | |

Your right.
Games like Man City suit PC better as he can set up defensively and if we get something he's done well, if we lose it's expected against the best team this season. | |

Very true. I don't think there's much doubt we'll see the back five set up that worked well against Spurs at Wembley. | | | |

Some of us don't think we are shambolic defensively but shambolic at creating chances, we don't have much in the way of creativity in the team. |  |

Back five at home ? Please god no. All it will do is completely hand them possession on a plate, give them territorial advantage and at home you do need to attack. And press them. Take the initiative. Not sit back inviting pressure. At Spurs it certainly didn't work, but somehow we managed to scrape a 0-0. Away from home against a top side you can understand the merit for it though. | |

How can you say it didn't work at Wembley? We restricted them to one clear chance in the whole game, which fortunately Kane put against the bar. I was there to see it and came out with my head held high, it was a superb professional performance, one of our few this season. | | | |

Spurs had an incredible 75% possession and 26 goal attempts while the Swans managed not one single attempt on goal. Nothing. Of course our players worked hard and defended as best they could but on another day that had 3-0 or 4-0 written all over it. We were simply not in the game. As you say good fortune, poor finishing and a man of the match performance from Fabianski helped get the point. But don't be fooled into thinking it worked. It will work when we are in the game, get forward, actually score and win a game, then it's worked. | |

1st half Saturday when we were constantly giving them the ball back to them allowing them to attack us ...... I did think if we do this against Man City they will score 10 |  | | |

No, no, no Nige you keep saying this and you're not right. Fabianski wasn't man of the match, he had little to do. Spurs only had the one chance which Mike has described.
You can have all the shots in the world they don't tangibly mean they were chances.
We deserved that point on a real defensive masterclass. |  |

Anyone that wouldn’t take exactly the same as Spurs against Man City must be painfully thick. |  |

Opinions mate. I disagree. A lot of them were good scoring opportunities. Luckily Kane had a rare off day too and left his shooting boots in the house. We are better than that. | |

Id take a lucky 0-0 against Man City, even if they have 50 goal attempts. Would you? | |

If they've got one small flaw, it's their back four which is a bit ponderous at times.
If we can actually get the ball off them, I'm hoping Tammy can catch them out with his pace. [Post edited 27 Nov 2017 12:55]

Wilf will score against Citeh - it's the immutable law of the returning (failed) striker. |  | | |
