A disastrous day. trying to look on the positive side, it could have been a lot different, if McGinn hadn't given a needless free kick away, which led to their 2nd goal and if Watkins, Luiz and Diaby hadn't fluffed all excellent chances they had in the first half, plus their 3rd, I doubt whether Konsa will make a bigger cock up for the rest of the season.

Needless to say there were a lot of bad performances, I reckon the biggest disappointment was Kamara, that was probably the worst game he's had for us.

I think Leicester was worse for Kamara. I’d probably give him a rest for Everton. McGinn on the right of a midfield 4, Luiz and Tielemans in the middle and Philogene on the left.

It's one game. He had two injuries last year but played well when he returned both times.

Had a right pop at Bouba after he visibly gave up yesterday in the second half. I can accept other players being better, but thought we’d left this sort of shite behind with Lescott, Bacuna etc.

This may a bit extreme, or theoretical, but given how their second goal was allowed, what would there be to stop let's say Erling Haaland from simply standing in the opposition penalty area throughout a game, whilst just making sure to be in an onside position when a pass happens to be made to him?

Happened last season with that Man U goal ( not against us)

Watkins had a higher shot accuracy percentage last season than Kane, Haaland, Salah, Toney, Wilson.

Although on the flip side, he had one of the lowest coversion rates of the top scorers last season.
And there, in a nutshell, is the problem with him

Gordon really did have the game.of his life. What a hideous man he is. His face make me feel sick.
Cash had a shocker though


Sadly the two were not mutually exclusive yesterday.

I think this is an over reaction. He’s a 21 year from another country who was largely outstanding in the games he played last season. I didn’t see a player giving up, just having a bad game.

Kamara is 24 in a few months. Which is still young and he'll hopefully learn, and I can't see Unai letting any slackness pass.

Yeah it was poor from Kamara, but everyone can have a bad day. I’m hoping a number of players got their bad day out of the way there. One small positive - if there was even a semblance of complacency in the squad it’s been blown away now.

Bad day at the office I'm worried about the injury to Tyrone and I didn't get back home until 2am.
