Edmonton Saint

It's still a bit early, However I am in the camp that didn't want Hughes to begin with and he has done little to change my mind. All pre-season was effectively wasted by playing 3 centre backs, a system which was dropped 70 mins into the first game. He seems to have no plan of action, no system awareness, no tactical nous, baffling selections and substitutions. Will give him a few more games in the hope he can change things around though.

McCarthy should have done better. Forster would have been berated for that.

God this club sucks the life out of me. Same old ****, season in, season out.

You'd have to think Gallagher would be a better option off the bench.

Yeah I saw the replay.

Hojbjerg off. Jon Moss being a **** as usual.

FFS Hughes. Austin on for Ings. While he has been quiet, still been our biggest goal threat.

Game is getting away from us now. We seem content to sit back again, can see the confidence has gone once more. Very fragile mentally this team.

McCarthy got lucky there.

****s sake.

Yes Bertrand!! Cracker.

Ings denied by Schmeichel again

Unlucky Ings.

Promising start. Redmond and Hojbjerg looking impressive early on.

Well Said Adrian

I like this thread. Not sure why it keeps getting deleted. It's good to have somewhere to go to to read post match comments without having to scroll through pages of comments or watch a video on the OS.

Hughes subs made us lose our momentum.

Cedric been our best defender this afternoon.

Lemina.

As bad as we have defended, Everton seem equally inept at the back, still hopeful we can nick a goal.

And they come close again, making Hoedt and Stephens looking like mugs... ( not hard)

Terrible ****ing defending, but luckily offside...

Yes Ings!!!!

4 players booked. We can't get close to them so we resort to giving away fouls. I remember when we used to outplay teams due to our fitness. Now we seem to have regressed.

Seems like 95% of the fanbase know this, but Reed, Kruger and Hughes think they know best.
