Blackpool v Everton Matchday Thread 24.07.22

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Shocking defending again.

School boy stuff.

And here’s me thinking Everton are shit.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

The Everton commentators thought he was well offside (having seen the replay).

 

[FY4MIKEH]

This is embarrassing

 

[rememberlesshannon]

Long season alert

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Early thoughts: we're not pressing quickly like we did the last time we played them. There's uncertainty among the back 8.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Backpass FC

 

[BfcRob27]

I swear everytime ekpiteta doesnt play the rest of the defence collapses, he is the most important player in the team but this isnt great viewing at all, its only pre season but we havent showed anything of promise all pre season really, very worried about this season

 

[Halifax71]

That was lucky to be given our way.

Hopefully we'll step up here or it could be messy.

 

[Brett&Murphs.]

Don’t like this formation.

 

[Roy Kent]

Miles offside - but play to the whistle

 

[Hazi]

Come back Critch all is forgiven

 

[madatta]

Hope the 1st team start the 2nd half

 

[boabthebetter]

It's gonna be a long hard season if this shit show is anything to go by. Offering absolutely nothing anywhere on the pitch

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Long ball to Madine. OK but where are the other forwards waiting for the header down to their feet?

 

[RetroSeasider]

Unfortunately we are looking every bit League one and that's being generous. Unless Appleton gets some quality in the building quickly it's going to be a long hard slog. These players can't even do the basics right

 

[Mcewans Mullet]

 

[TangerineSeasider]

20 mins in and I’m buggered if I can work out what formation we are meant to have

 

[AllOrNothing]

Any kind of Everton press when we do finally get the ball results in us giving them back.
Remember exactly how poor Everton were last season, we’re making them look like world beaters

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Played onside by Connolly.

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

20 mins in and I’m buggered if I can work out what formation we are meant to have

Dont think the players do either

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

Long ball to Madine. OK but where are the other forwards waiting for the header down to their feet?

That’s the problem with just one up top. Madine is so much better playing alongside Yates, simples

 

[poolseasider]

We didn't have the players when Critch played 4-3-3 and it's looking like same applies today.

 

[FY4MIKEH]

Everton just got thumped 4-0 by some dodgy Yank team. We are so poor.

 

[Mark_GT]

Their second looked miles off. That said, no snap in midfield without Kenny or Connolly. Gaz being isolated too. Has Keshi had a touch yet?

 

[Killingmesoftly]

I’d say this is a pretty decent Everton 11 tbf…they look better all over the pitch…

 

[coloradoan]

This has me very worried that we'll be relegated from the Premier League this season

 

[FY4MIKEH]

I wish

 

[Vince McLean]

If we're to play with Madine then surely he needs a twin striker close to, and feeding off him.
He's not very mobile and his touch isn't great.
If he's in the Toshack role he needs a Keegan.

 

[TangerineSeasider]

In golf terms you’d call it a Shank ? Is that cockney rhyming slang ?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

See the 2nd goal feature above. Connolly, far right, plays their man onside.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

Where is Bowler playing ?

 

[Roy Kent]

Has Bowler been subbed? I think I nodded off for a bit there….

 

[Mark_GT]

I'd say his touch is fine but he needs support. No-one getting up near him yet. A couple of decent signs from Fiorini.

 

[Nazzer]

Where is Bowler playing ?

For Everton on this performance.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Decent Bowler stuff.

 

[FY4MIKEH]

I'd say his touch is fine

Are you basing that on the zero touches he's had?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Things don't seem right at the club to me. Critch leaving out of the blue, no non loan signings, talk of bids for Gabriel, Bowler and Anderson, the Colby fiasco, Appleton's frustration it just seems like something negative has happened.

 

[coloradoan]

See the 2nd goal feature above. Connolly, far right, plays their man onside.

I'm not seeing it. Everton's man isn't in the frame when the ball is played, and by the time you see him he's well past our defense.

 

[Chunkylad]

It’s funny in a way. General cry was for a more attacking formation. A team with attacking midfielders.
Watching this you are thinking, 4-4-2 and defensive midfielders….

Still pre season so let’s not panic. We often learn more from defeat than victory.

 

[FY4MIKEH]

The worrying thing is we're not one or two players away from competing, we're 6 or 7.

 

[Matesrates]

I’m out and not watching, but from the sounds of it it’s dire. Is there a season ticket refund option?

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

Think positive for once in your life!

It's tight but the linesman didn't seem up with play.

 

[Halifax71]

Need to consider the opposition here.

 

[AllOrNothing]

[Bend it like Suddick]

Hes right though.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

No, it isn't decisively visible on camera.

 

[Matesrates]

Hopefully it’s a second half revival again

 

[FY4MIKEH]

Need to consider the opposition here.

Practically a championship side based on last season and easily could have been. Everton just got thumped 4-0 in America, add the fact all there players are probably jet lagged then this is piss poor.

 

[AllOrNothing]

It’s called having no money
