Re: Toffees vs Clarets Match Thread
In my opinion the error is just a factor in losing the game and the decision making to try the pass to start with is terrible, abit like when Trafford plays the ball to brownhill at palace when he had a simple pass to Taylor wide or when O’Shea played a criminal pass into Berge at wolves away.

Re: Toffees vs Clarets Match Thread
Muric DID NOT cost us the game today. It obviously did. I can't quite believe anyone can suggest otherwise. It is the clearest error leading to a goal that we have conceded all season. The bonkers thing is that there were 10 seconds of the half to play and he was trying to thread a ball through a c...

Re: How many goals do we concede just before half time
Agreed, it was because a professional footballer couldn't control an easy pass along the ground. Yes, but mistakes happen.

Yeah Vinny is sloppy and has sloppy standards which is why he is at Gawthorpe 12-14 hours a day.

Today’s red card wasn’t through a lack of discipline, but we have seen numerous examples of t...

Re: How many goals do we concede just before half time
I sometimes wonder whether our players know how to interpret the digital match clock on the big screen. There’s a real lack of ability to adapt their game to the situation. See also the complete lack of urgency when trailing a game with a few minutes to go.

Re: O'Shea ball control
Should this have been a red card? I haven’t read the match thread so not sure if discussed there. But on the feed I watched it seemed like the ball was comfortably going to reach Muric before McNeil had a chance to get to it. I could be completely wrong given I only saw it from a limited angle.
