  • Lukaku and Kone

    Watching the match, I was concerned by what these two would do but what a job Ned and Caulker did with them. Don't think I've seen Lukaku so useless in a match. Thought the only players who let us down yesterday were Yun, Hoilett and Zamora and to a degree Sandro (albeit more offensively on his part with the poor passing). both goals came from that side of the pitch and I wish we could have done better with them. At least seeing ned and Caulker in particular showing some maturity defensively.

    we lost 2-1
    I must away now, I can no longer tarry
    This morning's tempest I have to cross
    I must be guided without a stumble
    Into the arms I love the most

      Felt Everton were woeful and any other premiership side would of beat them yesterday imo.

          I really liked the way Kone belatedly celebrated St Paddys Day by dressing himself up as a human Guinness, fair play to him.

          Performance wise, thought they were both poor to be honest, agree with OP that we done a decent job on them.

            Are you Caulker's love child? Yesterday was one of his better games for us but the bloke has been a liability. Playing way above his level.

              Are you for real? hahahahahaaaa Nasser lad come on mate...................

              Whenever Kone and Lukaku broke i thought they would create a chance so we cant have done that good'a fvcking job on them.
              Oh yeah, we also lost 2-1 thanks to more shambolic defending with players so free and open it was un-real.

                But they didn't create the chances so I don't see your point, they break but not past the centre backs. It was literally Yun at fault for the first one. Only him. Caulker and Ned were doing their jobs to tighten the angles and close the options and they did a very good job of that.

                    Well, I have a picture here showing Caulker being exactly where he needs to be and Yun being totally out of position.



                    Now, explain to me exactly what caulker did wrong here? He is blocking any shot, limiting it to sideways passing or backwards passing. Whereas Yun is for some reason covering the only player who isn't actually a threat, when he should be covering the wider point and leaving lukaku for onuoha.

                      Tbf nasser you're right on this 1; that goal was down to Yun being totally out of position.

                        Think you can point finger at both Hoillet and Yun as both decided to ignore Coleman and leave him free

                        I think Everton were arguably the poorest side we have seen in the bush this year and they still won that says it all. As for Lakaku and Kone being poor i think Thats more to do with the people playing the ball as i though they got themselves into some great positions had the ball be delivered so agree with WLR

                        How Everton on that showing are not in bottom three is beyond me there every lucky its so poor this season down the bottom

                          Also where was Hoilett on that first goal? He should have been tracking Coleman and all

                            Pish easy six points off us has helped immensely. Same with hull.

                              This is my point that Hoilett and Yun were the players that truly cost us the game yesterday. Didn't know where to be and left their man far too easily.
