anyone notice the situation with Rio? he got more minutes earlier in the season. so signed his first senior contract. after that hes had about 15 minutes in months.They gave him minutes and hope. if he hadn't have looked like getting more minutes he may have considered his options, very iffy behaviour and the "rumours" are the club wants him to play a bit more. But Slot doesn't fancy him

Cleaning up the Scots since the 13th century -
Second half was better, it was a coordinated press and counter press players picking up and in spaceOriginally posted by justme View Post
My criticism time and again last season was we were losing the press through having too many looking to be in space and at the sane time crowding ourselves out and blocking our own lines to goal
Second half was the best we’ve pressed and counter pressed in a long time
The trick is to have that same balance v low blocks they want to to over commit they want you to flood the area with bodies and be more direct every time it is on to be, supporting the ball played with a runner or two to win any second ball
You have to condense the play one side then switch to the other in one ball or diagonal looking to release a player in behind then look to put quality delivery in with the players from the area play was condensed all making runs having the run on their markers
That’s how to do it
A direct ball and winning second balls from it or switches as described creates a new point of attack the low block isn’t set for
Going side to side slowly with too many players looking to be in space blocking your own lines is too easy to defend and counter
Picking up to win any second ball and attacking quickly and directly is far better, pick up in positions to win any second ball or join the attack as a runner
These are all the things we used to do under Klopp a lot of it is more refined percentage play but it’s devastatingly effective"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”Comment

He hasn’t looked ready to be fair plus the team isn’t flying so limited opportunities for him.Originally posted by justme View PostComment

Keep the negative shite and daft rumours about Slot and Rio for another thread.Comment

He’s a cup game of mast 10 player the club want him to play as it is blindingly obvious selling Diaz and Nunez were both glaring errors Diaz especially and that we are desperately lacking and crying out for a top top proven winger/forwardOriginally posted by justme View Post"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”Comment

I agree with that, just he needs some more minutes or maybe 1 start ahead of Gakpo on the left? it's the chicken and egg situation.. how will know if hes ready if hes never started a game. or had at least half an hour.Originally posted by eggy81 View PostCleaning up the Scots since the 13th centuryComment

Reserve great for when he starts to pick the right final ball and deliver his ball for Wirtz almost was to be fair defender just got a late foot on itOriginally posted by Steveo View Post"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”Comment

Ngumoha had a great opportunity to push on against Southampton in the league cup but was disappointing against a championship full back. He's young, he's raw, he's all we've got but is he ready?Originally posted by justme View Post
Only one way to find out - but Slot's job is supposedly on the line so don't expect to see him for a whileComment

No end product whatsoever and every chance to put a quality delivery in wasted is never outstanding in my bookOriginally posted by fiordearg View Post
There’s a reason I always pick Robbo more know how cuteness and better delivery"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”Comment

Standards of what we judge as superb have fallen drastically reading this thread
Including Steveo’s I think the shill has got to him"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”Comment

In an interview he just had, Slot effectively just defended what Martinelli did, and he also went off again about teams playing a low block.Comment
