Everton vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[Putitout]

There is a big issue with organisation. Andersen and Guehi could both organise the defence and were positionally good. In Andersen’s case he would make some bad errors but his organising was key. When we signed him and Guehi, he was the leader there for a while. Clearly Guehi then grew and surpassed him.

Since Guehi has left we have no good organiser at the back and all of them are positionally quite poor for this level. Even Lacroix was. He had the speed and athleticism to get himself out of trouble but you could see it in how many goals we conceded in the air and from set pieces.

Richards is solid but not great positionally. Canvot looks to have all the physical attributes to be good but definitely looks like Konate in that he makes awful errors. Sadly Riad’s skillset my not be relevant any more.

In any event we badly need an organiser at the back. We’ve need one since January and it is remarkable we haven’t addressed it. Maybe Disasi will play that role. If he doesn’t we are in trouble.

In 6 months we lost two top class internationals, and haven’t come anywhere near replacing them. The three that played against Everton, were two novices, and an improver. If the next seven or so days doesn’t change the situation by a decent margin we are in a lot of trouble going forward.
Yes we missed a hatful of chances in the game and goals do effect the result of course , even if we had scored our defending was so poor two goals would not have won the game.

They’ve already started on sage after only our first game, the gibberish he came out with, his mumbling French accent. He’s been likened to a French John Major or Kermit the frog

I struggled with some of what he came out with, but hopefully he’ll get a bit more confident in front of the cameras and a good win against city will shove it up their arses

Turn your hearing aid up I understand what he said , mangetout

Everybody in the world, alive or dead, is every bit as good as Johnson. Anyone at all, young, old, disabled, alive, dead, only in spirit form, in a coma, amputee - whatever. Bonnie Tyler would do better if you want to make it regional.
