What kind of a team are we? One that just works hard and nothing else? One that can't cope without the individual brilliance of Torres and Gerrard? I find it astonishing that after 5 years we don't have a style of football to speak of. Does that not bother anyone else?

Reina Lucas Masch

Great to see the confidence back flowing after the second goal. Pity Rafa can't motivate them to play like that a bit more often. I just hope they can kick on from this now. And without Gerrard too...

I'd rather have the option of the teeniest bit of pace up front as the game now becomes stretched. Instead we have Kuyt. haha!!! Whoops!!

Nonsensical change as per.

Oh dear. Messiest mess on set plays AGAIN.

Would love for Yossi to get some time in that position. but Rafa doesn't seem to trust him there for whatever reason.

ALLLLLLL the way back.......again. Get Gerrard off that pitch. Dirty c***. Key part of Everton's game that. Cahill tried the same thing early on against Masch.

Except we never started playing today to have stopped playing now.

'Kin hell. Circus.

No movement at all. Always the safe, sensible and obvious ball. To be fair that's all that's ever really on because we're so static.

That Kuyt won't be taken off i'd imagine. N'Gog's hold up play has been fine whenever the ball has been good enough.

Disgusting mindset we've gone out with today.

Agger Masch N'Gog

Bit like Babel and Keane then.

On the whole you'd have to admit his record has been pretty good in the transfer market, certainly not awful anyway. It's his negativity which is killing this side, also he seems unable to strike any kind of balance between attack and defence. A horrible mess, and after 5 years in charge you'd think the players would at least know a way of playing by now.

Not being completely s**** helps too.

Sooner the better imo. Before the players are worn down to stubs with his s**** negative stifling tactics and all want out. As it is, we have a good team, with some decent options from the bench. So a new candidate just has to come in and let these lads play the football we all know they are capable of, the football we seen last season after Rafa's game-plan had to be ditched, the gameplan that has seen us start every season so turgidly only to pick up the pace when we have no other option and usually when it's too late.

Oh dear. The crazy thing is, i think you actually believe that, you poor blind sod.

He'll be a good player under a manger that can inspire players to play well, someone to put the arm round the shoulder that type of thing. Who won't confuse players with his over thinking of the game because they see themselves as some sort of gift from the footballing gods. A side that just goes out to play football, he'll do well at that type of club. All the best Ryan.

Careful now, you'll be told ot go support Arsenal for daring to want to see some football being played. Debrecen FFS!

Gutless performance. Absolutely gutless. Just as well Lyon didn't level it up because that display deserved no good luck in the other tie.

Well if that wasn't a big f*** you from Rafa to everyone then i don't know. Predictable petty small-time behaviour from the genius.

Has anyone blamed the OOT'ers yet?
