[Archived] Everton Preview

[Amo]

How many goals have we scored from long throw ins since Sam arrived?

The only time it has worked is when we take a short one and sucker the opposition.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Nelsen and maybe the ref is the reason they are ahead at the break.

Anyone saying we don't create enough chances and don't need at least one more quality striker after that first half is clearly deluded.

All our chances had come from set pieces or throw ins, they are not clear cut chances just a ball into the box and see what happens. Only Howard flapping today made us look really dangerous so far on them.

I struggle with Sams comment that we lack firepower up front to score. The way we play makes it impossible for anyone upfront to make their mark. Dunn scored his goals early season when he was playing off the lone striker. Kalinic is surrounded by Everton shirts who can read a ball in the air so how he can be expected to score a hatful of goals in a season beats me.

Thank god we are safe, our brand of football is shocked and can only loosely be actually called 'football'. We are stuck indefinitely with this until either BFS leaves for a bigger carrot or we find ourselves in the ###### with no way out. Survival in the Premierleague or nice football, unfortunately top flight football is more important.

Our midfield are fairly useless with the ball

[Paul]

Live from Ewood. Rovers are simply dreadful. Worst I've seenin a while

[Amo]

I think I might watch paint dry for a bit.

[yankrover]

Awful miss by Cahill. We should be down two.

[yankrover]

Roberts on for Pederson

[Amo]

Pedersen off for Roberts.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Long ball after long ball goes straight back to Everton and the pressure begins again. It's like a perpetual cycle.

Pedersen off, Roberts on.

[Eddie]

How did Andrews stay on? Roberts for MGP makes no sense.

[Amo]

How did Andrews stay on?

Almost took himself off.

[Tango]

Andrews has been total dross today. Not that different to any other day though to be fair.

[yankrover]

Put on Hoilet for Andrews and move Dunn in. Andrews is lucky to still be out there, and has been pretty useless.

[Amo]

Baines almost made it 2-0 with a thunderbolt.

[yankrover]

What a strike by Nzonzi! Wow! Goal of the season right there.

[RibbleValleyRover]

What a screamer!!!! N'Zonzi

[bigbrandjohn]

AWWWWEEESOOOMMME

[yankrover]

And Hoilet on for Andrews.

[67splitscreen]

What a peach, IMO better than Rose in MW as he had to move it look up then let go.

Andrews off to boot, 3 point Rovers.

[Amo]

Hoilett on for Andrews and we've equalised.

Good stuff!

[bigbrandjohn]

Put on Hoilet for Andrews and move Dunn in. Andrews is lucky to still be out there, and has been pretty useless.

Sam heard you

[Heinz]

Absolute thunderbolt!! Andrews off YES!

[Presty On Tour]

What a goal from N'Zonzi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pick it out!
