He's been great tbf, our player of the season so far - by a country mile. Not that there's been much competition
He has been a revelation. A player Walsh had identified to replace Kante if he was to leave Leicester.
Fair enough on Coleman. Surprised Funes Moro doesn't play more. Good balance ace with left footed, despite being a count for injuring Origi and celebrating it when he got sent off, thought he looked half decent as a defender.
This isn't the New Stadium Sensible Discussion thread IMO you also made a hash spending £12m on Williams for a season or two instead of proper rebuilding
I was a amazed he didn't play him yesterday, and if he had I'm certain he'd have headed that cross away in the opening minute.
bit unfair on coleman. he's 28 and in his prime (missed the big move in other words) the rest fine. baines missed the big move at the time but was injured right after utd failed to move and has unfortunately slowed down imo. 31. Jagielka wasa good buy for everton at the time but as above injuries have knocked him off. he is toast 34? williams for me was odd. he missed his shot with rogers then dropped form but last year was good. I felt it was odd at the time by everton. 32 Barry was good for everton but god he's been slow as slow can be for ages. he's lucas but can't admit that can we. 35? yeah so... a lot of work required. Williams for me looks as slow as slow can be but good attacking the ball so a sweeper type is needed to cover in behind him. what was that young lads name at LB that got injured? is he good enough to replace baines? gueye looks quite good in CM but mccarthy looks like he's gone a bit and gibson is pointless I mean it's not like LFC have not got similar issues but we do have just enough players who are fit and able to play klopp's way. Matip has been huge for us for example but we have the 11, everton don't. Neither have the squad really. If everton do get 4/5 new first team (successful players) then they will have the team.
Galloway is the LB you were referring to and he's out on loan at WBA, where he can't get a game as Pulis plays with 4 CB's Jags has been a great servant, but he's finished.
yeah not a great place to send any kid... pulis... Jagielka was a real bargain off sheff utd. nobody else really went for it and you took the risk. (which was no risk really) 4mil was an absolute steal even back then. but like them all they age
Just wading in. Baines is unfortunate. Injuries have ruined him and he's lost that energy and pace that he had. Just too weak and not good enough anymore. Needs to start ovideo but why did you guys loan out Galloway? what happened to browning too? he was playing last year Williams is old but you could still use him for a couple of seasons. Jags this season just needs to go. Like Rio and Vidic when they got too old, mistake ridden and so slow Coleman has a good few years Mori, technically good and is okay defensively, his issues are mentally. He's basically a david luiz lite from when luiz first joined chelsea. If he could concentrate he'd actually be useful Whats happened to Holgate? I thought the few matches he played he was getting rave reviews? I don't think its necessariy their defence thats the troubling part, it's evertons attack, it's gone to ****!. When will Barkley eventually get dropped as he's so overrated. Also i know Delofeu is totally one footed and has the one trick of going down the line but surely he's better than lennon or mirallas or whoever else you want to stick on the right wing
He has made a few errors, but so has Williams and Mori when coming in. It's a new setup. I'm not ready to see him out tonight f the club, he still has it....it's just his first bad run of form.
to be fair this is a standard Everton trick. They love playing their defenders til they are way past and over the hill. Stubbs, Unsworth and now Jags
They'd want an absolute fortune for him now, and tbh why would he come here at this point? If you look through our squad there's loads that need binning off; Niasse - our worst ever buy Kone Cleverley Gibson Jags Baines Robles Lennon McCarthy
