You can plainly see, as has been shown in previous matches, that Lawrence & Diao are not up to this standard of football.
Everton are better than us, so i'm not going to freak about the current scoreline, but in order to compete better, players like those mentioned above need to be shipped out.

Think youre right Dave
Im not sure about Etheringtons fitness and can understand him being on the bench but he is certainly a much better player than Lenny at this level

Dave,
The first man to speak some sense
'EVERTON ARE BETTER THAN US'
That's why were losing NOT TP's tactics

16%! Sounds even worse when you put it like that.

Wilko has improved leaps and bounds and has been seen knocking it along the floor to Lawrence, great to see.....no product today but at least he has a go at keeping the ball. |

Players like Lawrence and Diao ar steady performers on their day, and are not 'shite' by any means.
A better team than us, who are sixth in the league for a reason, beat us comfortably at home.
there's no need to point blame, it was always going to be a tough game. When people were working out where we'd get points between now and the end of the season, did anyone have us getting anything today? i don't think so.
Three points against 'boro and all is right with the worls again.
lets keep it in perspective.

Agree on Diao but totally disagree on Lawrence - excellent deadball delivery today and a useful hard working outlet who can keep the ball |

Diao is shite and clearly not a Prem player but i think Liam is a very important player for us and will have a big say in our survival. Excellent dead balls and a good player and although his ditribution is very poor Hiigy is far from shite and a very goo defender

Liam is good, but there are times (like today) where I could slap him within an inch of his life. TP says he's a bit stupid, and he's not wrong. His corners are so much better that Whelan's, but he does really need to get his attitude sorted out.

I think the problem with Liam is that he thinks he is better than he actually is. Last season he was facing Championship full-backs who he could skin with ease. He just can't do that in the Prem, the step up as we all know is huge. He is going have to be a bit more clever or he is just going to become a liability beacause he is loosing the ball, in promising positions, too often.
