Right? 89% of passes completed? That may be true... but 99% of them were 4 yard passes and he lost possession heaps of times (not by attempting a pass by the way) these 4 chances... I can't remember them tbh... and his 7 shots? How many on target? Two of them were mis hits that came within 5 secs of eachother... another tool two deflections before going in.... if you think that game was ross playing well or bossing it then I would hate to see a bad game .... you can use stats to prove literally anything... my eyes are what I use to make decisions... statistically Joel is one of the better keepers in the league... my eyes during the Spurs and burnley game tell me otherwise tho.. and so my opionion is that he's not... that was not a notm performance , he didn't boss them and he didn't "tourment " their defence as that article says ...

Dunno why any fan would go out of there way to post so negatively about one of our better players. He isn't perfect, but does boss some games. So much energy put into putting him down.

Your posts stink of an I know better than you tone. You and @Niapper dropping excrement all over this thread.

I guess some people still dream of the halcyon days of Neville and Heitinga in midfield...

Just like our very own Pirlo and Gattuso....And onto Ross everyone is entitled to their own opinion but he is showing far more awareness and maturity since Christmas, added to his increased work rate, looking top dog again.
 
Just watched his goal again from Saturday. His awareness was brilliant, a quick look back meant he could only go one way, towards goal. Yes, his shot took deflections, but he took a chance and it paid of. His decision making has improved tenfold this year. Still room for improvement but hes going the right way imo.

Mom? Your off your head if you think that was a mom performance ... he slowed play down countless times and lost passion heaps ... he did need to buy time from the fans because fans were getting on his back... koeman said he needed to improve and dropped him. His work rate without the ball was non existent ... he has turned the corner and has been playing well in 2017... his passing was off and he was not "bossing it" against burnley... but he made countless headers and tackles and done the ugly work... when he is doing this people won't get on his back because he's fighting and having a bad day... under bobby and the start of this season ... he looked lazy and didn't work hard enough ... whenever he had a bad game offensively ( which was most games at the start of the season) he was a passenger and people got on his back...

Fans like me are the reason he might leave?

I actually believe fans like you that saying he's "bossing it "
When he's not are more of a problem tbh... overhyping him... I'm not saying sell him , I'm not saying he's useless ... I'm saying he wasn't bossing it and offensively wasn't good but overall he done ok because he worked hard and contributed to the team... his headerswere important and he cleared one off line line.. but saying he's mom and bossing that game is wrong and not even close to being accurate

There's 70% of people on this forum who voted in the MOM thread who disagree with you mate. So we're all off our head whilst you are right.:)

Sell him.

Tbh getting a bit tired of Ross every week now. Either he is playing crap or he does one good thing to raise hope with him over and over again.

He will be 29 and there will still be the same conversations on here about him. Similar experience levels or more than some young English players who have developed and reached the levels Ross has failed to get to.

The team would be better off without him. Doesn't matter how many 'chances' the stats sat he creates, it's the amount of good chances he fails to create by trying to outrun the defence that should matter.

Well in , back in there with a typically terrible post

And this is why Everton don't deserve nice things. Ross plays bad, people moan about him. Ross plays well, people moan about him. The lad can't seem to do anything right. I swear to god, we were 3-1 up on Saturday and still the moaners were at it. One of the shouts of the match was "come on Everton, it's only Burnley FFS" - as if we were playing a team from the Conference or something.

Some of our "fans" are risible. Well, a substantial minority of them are actually.

As bad as kopites.
