Hopefully it will end in a spectacular signing who makes our team sparkle with excitement.

thankfully , if all goes as per expectations,  without having to lay out 100's of mil, we've got that,what we've got to add  is a back up 11 that can prolong and challenge the sparkle.

[rijit]

i'm glad he was 'pissed' with them, i certainly was,, and just to add i was equally 'pissed' with him.

I'm going for a 3 - 1 win tonight !

 

[rijit]

half time and 1-0 down  tbh we havnt deserved anything, lackluster and havnt really threatened their bac 4 or goal. hopefully 2nd half will improve,, it certainly needs to

[smokie36]

Well we were much better after the substitution and might well habve won the game if not for some outstanding goalkeeping.

 

Away draw first game is no disaster.....always a tough fixture.

Different looking Everton defense with Koeman at the helm.

thought they looked desperate rather than organized to be honest. but then he's only just got there and they just sold stones. everton's squad is rubbish. koeman's got a job on his hands there.

yeah i was pleasantly surprised that williams wasnt playing, for them  he'll make a difference as will lukaka,. but cant see him playing 3 ax the bac week in week out  but it was the right way to set up against us.   once we put an extra body up front their bac 3 were threatened,  and that could and arguably should have won us the game.. normally its fretsville if u lose a keeper, but thought vorm was sound and perhaps could point to  a time to cash in on hugo? pleased jansen still could do with some pace for the break but we will see, and good to see our bench laden with  in house product,

[alfieconn]

Think i can see Jansen becoming  our no.1 cf with Kane as a 10, certainly if any of Lamela,Eriksen or Dele are unable to play !

My immediate thought was good to give Vorm some first team action.

 

Let's see how he gets on...he has always looked good though.

[rijit]

yeah thought he really looked the part against everton , didn't give me any of the normal jitters that comes  when you lose your keeper 

[alfieconn]

I might be a bit quiet for a few weeks lads as the new Gym need's painting etc, with a bit of luck Utd will lose this weekend  then perhaps i can get Mr Red round to give me a hand

yeah no what you mean,, finally got over a load and thinking yeah good,, step it up a touch and ping rip a calf day b4 yesterday,,,

 

ali on the bench today big statement by poch,, score -effect the game or its on the bench you will go!!! have to say i like it 

[rijit]

c/p make a 'forced' change to the c/b  delany the thug goes off,and we score with a header from the pending  corner,!!!!,

[smokie36]

Bit of justice there rij....not the best game ever.

[rijit]

not much in  i suppose we just about deserved it ,, but only just,,

 

i know about patience with yoof but for the life of me i'm yet to see what Onomahat brings to the the plate.

 

but in poch we trust.

 

not so sure kane is so enamored with janssen  playin next to him as opposed to his England mate ali, there was one play he could and v much should of played him in and didnt,, janseen would have been one on one and kane defo saw it, turned and inexplicably went the other way  janssen ,quite rightly looked baffled and not offside b4 anyone says

[carmine]

 

Gahhh this terrible new software, whens it going to be sorted out!!!  I'm not even replying to this but it won't allow me to do anything else!!!

 

Were still looking disjointed now and look like having to scrap games out until we get back our rhythm.

 

I'm really impressed with Wanyama and Janssen, both look very good buys.  Lamela continues to get better and better.

 

Just happy with the points moving onto next weekend.

While we probably need another creative AM to help break down these park the bus teams, Jansen's ability to hold the ball up in confine spaces such as he did against Inter for the Dele goal could well help us to overcome the ptb teams !
