MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Without Morata and Conte's lack of trust in Batshuayi (who know looks totally not match fit) we don't have a single senior striker in the squad. This result was as predictable as the day is long. The best we could get was a draw. At least we didn't get spanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Bad performance against an Everton side weaker than I expected them to be. We had possession but how many saves did their goalkeeper make ? No more than a couple, so our buildup was poor. Zappa was a failure - better if Moses was not substituted. Willian and Pedro did not come to the stadium and someone has to take Kante somewhere and teach him to kick balls. He finds himself so many times in empty spaces but he cannot even cross, let alone shoot. He 's too timid and some good moves are wasted. He can't do worse than Zappa did with Hazard's pass.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 To be fair to Moses he's fucking head and shoulders above Zappacosta and Alonso, and that's saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,941 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 It's really haunting when you think about the general skill levels in our squad. We make Fabregas look like Iniesta because he literally is the only player who has a decent footballing I.Q. I will get slaughtered for saying this but even Hazard doesn't have a top footballing brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso is good at kicking the ball, but he is slow, weak and has no stamina, which means he is useless in 7 out of 10 games. And I don´t even know how someone would come to the conclusion that buying Zappacosta for 26 mio. pounds is a good idea. It;s hard to believe that in a game like this Kenedy would play worse than Alonso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 At first I thought Zappa was intelligent, decent player. And I am proved wrong. He was known for his decent cross, but boy oh boy, those crosses are dreadful. The rest was expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he is not, he was appointed to save Everton's season and is doing exactly what was expected from him. Noone thought Everton will suddenly start playing tiki-taka.

Beigl 1,387 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 We just lack quality on the ball. Pedro, Wilian just aren't good enough. Bakayoko shouldn't be playing against teams that sit deep against us. Not sure why Fabregas didn't start this game ? Alonso did he actually do anything today ? Zappacosta... that attempt at a cross pretty much sums him up.Hazard didn't do much either tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcs most wanted 657 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 With how Zappacosta is playing, I would even be willing to have Ivanovic back to play in that's role. Even if his crossing was woeful, yet atleast he knew how to defend. Zappacosta is just dreadful to watch in every aspect of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,320 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm not all D and G about the performance, but what is apparent is the lack of squad depth, and all it takes is one player to be sub par, and we fail. Today it looked like Willian had been vaping some nice Kush before kick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the board hadn't tried to penny pinch for every transfer target and wait till the final day, we wouldn't be left looking for scraps and which club are willing to sell their player.
