Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach
We were atrocious in the first half. Didn't move the ball well at all, it barely looked like we bothered turning up, very poor passing, our defensive work was just horrible, another 5-1 drubbing waiting to happen. Thankfully we understood the seriousness of the situation at half time. I don't get why we've started so slow these last few games, it's like we're not turned on. Second half was a lot better defensively, and if we had wingers or wing backs who could actually put a decent cross in, I think we'd create some more chances as well. Generally we seem to lack an urgency about our game at the moment, which I don't get. I don't believe for a second that we will snatch that 4th place from Liverpool, but our players damn well should believe it! Oh, well, the win was all that mattered today, Everton are a good side, have not lost many games this season, so bottom line - good win, although the performance wasn't convincing.
