39% posession and 1 shot on target. our game plan seems to be park the bus which is dissappointing at home.

We have every right to moan. I understand being defensive to Man City but not at home to Everton.

We only seem dangerous from corners. A point is good but today goes down as a poor performance for me, marshall kept us in it and a very odd refereeing decision. Ill take it but we need to improve on that performace drastically at home and start to take the game to our opposition. It felt a bit like West Ham away.

we was last season and we will be this season, its malkys style of football, we find ourselves playing nice football some games though but seems malky has more confidence in this type of football

No, but i would prefer 99 shots to just 1 if you are offering.

Parking the bus is disappointing I agree. I was well pissed off with the 3-2 win over Man City. :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5:

The point is any team with a decent striker will punish us.

We were basically very lucky in that game.

This.

We cant live off the man city game forever. Between the West Ham and Everton matches we have recorded 1 shot on target combined. That isnt good enough.

You are the only one who has mentioned losing. i dont understand why we have to lose if we have 99 shots? Id obviously rather draw and have 1 shot on target but its a stupid question. Id rather win and have 99 shots and draw and have 99 shots as it shows intent. The fact is if you have 99 shots you have more chance of winning than if you have 1.

We've earned a very good point against an Everton side who have completely dominated their last two games. We are new to the premiership, and we can't just impose tactics that will allow us to dominate games, we have to slowly ease our way in. It's going to be a while before we can start enjoying more of the ball, might happen against Hull. People should enjoy this season rather than always be critical of Malky's tactics. He's got us this far let him stick with his tactics. This is only my opinion so if you wanna have a moan carry on

Good point today, i'm sure many would've taken it before kick off :ayatollah:

whatever! I was making an outlandish point! I said its better to have 1 shot and not lose, than having 99 shots and lose
but you prefer 99shots and lose! as stated in your 1st response, not arguing toss about it as it was a good point regardless of how many shots we had! :thumbup:

Of course but they aren't the options imposed on us so the point is a bit silly.

Good point yes,but shit performance which could have easily resulted in defeat barring Marshall, shit finishing and the referee. Id prefer it if we started putting our destiny in our own hands.

If playing like this is what will keep us up come the end of the season then i'm right behind it :ayatollah: We aren't going to be able to play like we did last season, the teams we are playing are of a much better standard

Other teams manage it. Norwich, Swansea, Southampton etc and we have spent similar if not more than all of them.

Give me strength, roath starts a pathetic thread and unbelievably some of our own agree, it's no wonder he comes on here, we just played Everton Football Club chaps, not Barnsley.

Here here mate!
Can't quite believe our own walk straight into an oh so obvious Roathy trap? :roll:

Sadly the jacks, who are currently bottom of the league, are probably depressed as they know they would have lost that game.

Re: Stoke lite

Everton will have the lion share of posession in almost every single game because of the type of football they play. :wave:

To be honest though we've played defensively for 3 hard games. Malky thought it was the best tactic and its worked, im sure those teams did the same in the difficult matches. As the 'easier' games start to come i think we'll see more confidence in the squad and more attacking football
