Fox92 Posted 17 September 2018 Posted 17 September 2018 I just wish we shot more. I'd encourage it. Trouble is, people moan and groan when players do it (because 9 times out of 10 it goes high and wide) but I like to see a drive from midfield and a shot. You never know, too, if it's on target (ie Maddison's goal against Wolves).

Ric Flair Posted 17 September 2018 Posted 17 September 2018 Maddison came with a reputation of long range shooting ability and dangerous set pieces. So far his set pieces have been mediocre and his shooting from distance has been pretty much non-existent, we look to be trying to walk it in the net. If we fcukin keep crossing the ball with only one player in the box I'm going to boil my own head.

I'm quite surprised that Maddison hasn't been taking pot shots at every opportunity, he seems to revel in this new challenge. I don't want to be negative about him as his all round game has been decent but the bits I was mostly looking forward to seeing, he's been poor.

grobyfox1990 Posted 18 September 2018 Posted 18 September 2018 (edited) Surprised to hear all this 'take a shot' clamour. Scored 12 goals in 6 games! (granted 4 against Fleetwood...) Barring that, scored 8 goals in 5 PL games, the same as 'attacking, vibrant, dynamic, forward-playing' Everton under the lauded genius Marco Silva. Should've had a couple in the first 30 mins against Bournemouth too, the chances were evident. Haven't the amazing Wolves scored less than City too? I.e the team praised weekly for being so attack-minded. They've had similar difficulty of fixtures to City as well. Half the league must've scored less than City! And that's with Vardy having played circa 90 mins all season! Edited 18 September 2018 by grobyfox1990 typo

Yep, Bobby Charlton always went for the half chance, and scored freely doing so.

Embarrassing that this story is on SSN. The players have been spoilt by being flown around everywhere and probably now expect it all the time. So they had to sit on a coach for 5 hours. Didums.

Even if it was true I’d be pretty annoyed if I thought I was flying somewhere before someone later decided I was going on a 5 hour bus ride instead regardless of how nice the bus was

Which should immediately destroy any argument that Maguire and Evans are both left-sided centre-halves and so cannot possibly play together. Prime example of seeing a result and not watching the game. Evans was completely done for pace on several occasions and almost played a back-pass too short that could've been intercepted. Just because we kept a clean sheet, it doesn't mean our defence was totally solid. Not writing him off based on that but if you'd seen the game you wouldn't have been totally surprised to see Evans on the bench the next week. 5

Isn't Morgan a PL winner and much more recently too so I can't see the justification for that reason perhaps he should ask why Maguire is in the team I mean what has he ever won?
