Only thing you would say about that is a lack of any real pace on the forward positions. I liked the look of Cornet tonight. Put some promising balls into the box but no decent striker on the end of them.

Surprised more wasn't made of it. Certainly didn't look like Young got the ball despite claiming he did.

On paper we have a great keeper, a reasonable defence, a decent midfield but a really poor forward line (Dibling being the exception). Personally I would give BBD a go up top. Looks poor out wide but could cause a few problems down the middle.

Could we not play Downes, Fernandes and Lallana against Ipswich?

Underrated player in my opinion. Rarely puts a foot wrong when he gets the chance to play.

Easily the two worst teams in the league.

BBD is hopeless. More wasted money.

This is an Everton side in dire straits, extremely low on confidence and instead of going for it we are passing it around on the edge of our own box creating very little indeed.

There was one moment at the end of the half where Ugochukwu played a very nice quick pass around the corner to set up a chance for Cornet. I bet RM was fuming he didn't play the way he was facing.

Lacks pace, any ability to hold the ball up, doesn't win headers, can't seem to convert chances against better opposition. Not sure why we keep persevering with someone who is never ever going to be a premier league player.

Adam Armstrong is pretty crap, isn't he?

Surely it's just a matter of time before Martin gets the sack? We aren't improving - we are just getting worse.

Hopefully it's Cornet. He played upfront for Burnley and looked pretty good. We know AA is a better player on the right.

Then really we should have accepted Trabzonspors €8m offer for Onuachu. Rather than keeping an unhappy player who is never going to get a chance.

Not playing ABK or Onuachu may come back to bite us. If you want to sell ABK then surely prove he's fit by playing him? If you want to sell Onuachu then maybe a few goals at a decent level will help?

Edwards and ABK should both be playing ahead of Wood. SAA will be off next Summer just like Meghoma. Why is Fraser playing ahead of him?

Exactly. If we go down he leaves for another Prem team, if we somehow stay up then he'd have contributed to that and possibly got himself an England recall in the process.

Having said that they've just capitulated in this second half...

And whose fault is it that we can't score the few chances we are creating? The club have known for 4-5 years that we need a decent striker yet we still don't have one.

Wolves are another team tipped to be down there this season that look a lot better than us.

A lot of people say he comes across as a nice guy but I think the opposite. Can't stand him at times myself. If anyone dares to question anything about him or the team he gets incredibly rude and defensive.

I think it's inevitable we are going to leak goals with RM in charge (his defensive record at every club is horrendous) but it isn't helped by playing players who have shown in the past they are not good enough to play in this league. Added with the fact we've yet again failed to bring in a proper striker, it's going to be a long painful season.

Tbh he's been largely decent since coming back from that failed loan spell at Villa and is clearly respected by the other players. Pleased about this news.

The biggest problem with this is that we are very unlikely to stay up this season playing the way we do.

I've seen people leaving Sugawara out which is madness imo. Was our best player against Newcastle and arguably our best player against Brentford.
