Why ? RDZ got tactically outclassed today. He also dropped players like Gilmour who have proved themselves and improved us again when he came on
Thanks for the explanation but not ’Slow to understand’ just have a different point of view. I guess you watched Shawshank last night!’Obtuse’ means being deliberately ‘slow to understand’ - as you were being about my points regarding Solly’s fatigue level recently. Solly may have been deemed fit enough to be on the bench but too fatigued to manage a full 90 minutes - the same for any key player - the same way we rested Mitoma, Mac Allister and Caceido after the FACup SF - not missing completely but playing them off the bench against Wolves. To minimise over fatigue and risk of injury.
Today’s result is what it is.
I highly rate RDZ as a manager but he will be the first to admit, this was a car wreck today born of difficult starting selection issues, us not playing well and Everton being very hungry and incentivised.
Move on and take a breath. Europe is still within our grasp.
And the other goals ? I agree we had some poor individual performances and although RDZ made subs he didn’t change our shape or try to make us better defensively at allDid he?
I don't think it was his tactics to concede after 35 seconds, to have poor individual performances and good finishing from Everton.
I don't think the line up was wrong. We'd have been 1-0 down inside a minute, unless he had dropped Mitoma. I think we were a bit naive after that, Webster giving the ball away and out of position etc. I have never seen so many 2 on 1s in one half of football.Or RDZ started with the wrong line up?
point proven today, exactly.This cherry picking of facts to suit your agenda is awe inspiring. Do you work in the media by any chance or marketing maybe?
Why? How does it impact your life?All the fans who left at 75 minutes, don't come back.
MacAllister was easily the best player in blue and white today. Granted, he wasn’t as good as usual but he was still driving the team forward and tracking back. Pervis was all over the pitch as usual. No obvious sign from either of them they were tired. March was excellent too until he pulled his hamstring.Only thing RDZ got right today was making the 4 subs at half time.dropping Gilmour was madness. Mac, Pervy and Mitoma were tired. Welbeck and Undav beyond shite. Team Passing wayward. Webster and Dunk had stinkers.No proper RB coming home to bite us finally. Oh and Solly out probably for the season. Since the penalty miss though his heads gone
He's FrenchGet a grip, man. What a pathetic post.
Would have had Gilmour as extra in midfield instead of Undav.MacAllister was easily the best player in blue and white today.

Would you really have started Gilmour in midfield before the game over Gross, Caicedo and/or Ali Mac? Don’t think many would. Yes, Gilmour has been excellent but he isn’t first choice In the current team.
Fair answer. Can understand that. But, 2 up top against 19th who hadn’t won in 11 games. Can’t blame RDZ for pushing the attack. Yes, it backfired, but if Undav had scored another brace we’d all be heralding his genius.Would have had Gilmour as extra in midfield instead of Undav.

Pathetic sums you upGet a grip, man. What a pathetic post.
Count me out on that idea please. The way we play will continue to throw up results like this, the fact that this is the first time is the only surprise to me. I love how we play and can accept what happened today occasionally. I am a little concerned how the confidence levels and grind of games will affect us though.Poor result, can’t believe how quickly some are turning on RDZ and some of our players though.
