Slow .….Slow…Slower than Slow…

Set up to draw…Played to Draw…

No second gear…

Potter Boring and Lifeless…transmits to the team…

Cant see anything at Everton…


 

Have to agree about Everton, especially as they never w have Moyes

[Eerie Decent]

I think we deserved a point. First half was pretty bad but we had as many chances as them. Second half we were much better ironically.

Definite push on Killman for the goal. Then they wasted time. They wasted at least two minutes in injury time but the ref still stops it bang on the six minutes.

 

 

 

 

You'd be going mental if we had a goal disallowed for that 'push'

I thought the ref was good. He certainly didn't have a hand in picking our starting line up, which was the actual reason we didn't win.

Utterly depressing again. This season cannot end soon enough………. Problem is, I don’t really see anything that makes me think next season will be different. We don’t appear to have any idea how to get down the pitch and create opportunities. Without the ball the answer seems to be sitting on our 18 yard box.

Rose tints there. Pope didn't make a single save

[ragingbull]

Ferguson has to start next game to have any impact no good bringing him on when we're chasing games with a few minutes left.

I wasn’t expecting that much more from us tbh. 6th placed team vs 16th, the result isn’t surprising. I suppose we are keeping all games pretty tight nowadays which is good. But it’s coming at the expense of creativity at the front. 

we miss Summerville and Antonio tbh. Is what it is. 

one thing I can say I don’t feel massively embarrassed by this type of performance. A respectable loss if you like. They hardly had a sniff. We are harder to play against and I’m just hoping we take this attitude into the next season. 

 

[claypole]

Can we terminate Fergusons loan? 

[zico]

Damp squib of a game. Guilty of over playing and not going all out when needed until late. Shows the deficiencies in the squad. The money spent last summer was woefully wasted and we have a squad that is far to old. Would hope Potter gets backing in the summer to get his own players in but not too many who will command much of a fee going out bar our better players. Work to be done.

People blaming the ref 
Ref has been absolutely fine

We're just shit, that starting line up was a fucking disgrace, I don't care about the previous games, when you've got options you can't be starting that centre midfield.

Nothing to play for other than getting the fans hyped up for next season, and he plays that team against a Newcastle with other things on their mind. Fucking hell.

We're all desperate for him to do well, and early signs were promising, but he's starting to proper wind me up. It's not his squad admittedly, but come on for fuck sake, show a bit of ambition.​

 

[Mad Ferret]

On a par with the Brentford and Palace games that.

Potter needs to sort out the home form, or he’ll be out of a job next season.

[Maverick180180]

Absolute toilet 

[nychammer]

This game plan of leaving it until injury time to have a go probably needs revising. Clueless going forward, lucky first half. Right result on balance of play. 

[twoleftfeet]

Fair result to be honest, their midfield is far better than ours.

We lack pace and energy but Potter knows that.

We need a fit Summerville.

Disappointing but life goes on.

[Sir Alf]

We have learnt we need 4 or 5 players upgrading including legs in midfield and a central striker

[collyrob]

Mad how utterly shit mavro is. 

[goose]

Jesus we’re shit.

[Keep dreaming]

So. What have we learnt tonight?

Stop playing Soucek for starters.

[onsideman]

So. What have we learnt tonight?

That our summer transfer window should go down in history as our worst ever and the appointment of Lopetegui has put us back 3 years

[Mike Oxsaw]

So. What have we learnt tonight?

[threesixty]

We don’t have a plan for how to score do we?
Kind of waiting for a Bowen miracle again

more work on the training ground for us 

[Sir Alf]

Sideways backwards is because we are trying to keep  possession against a teams that is quicker and stronger in the midfle of the park and pressing very well

[Keep dreaming]

Goal should not have stand. Clear push.
Bowen pushed but noen.
Weak ref
Midfield wrong 60 minutes. Chasing last minutes, but to late 
 

[iphammer]

We have no spark. Forward back back back forward all game. Paqueta hasn’t done anything since coming on. Only a few weeks left of this crap.
