The Johnny 'Colossus' Heitinga Appreciation Thread

[Goat]

He looked lost yesterday, game just passed him by, holding midfielder my arsehole.

Drop that utter and I mean utter sack of crap that is Dustbin and play Heitinga in the postion he played a World Cup Final at.

 

[ijjysmith]

Totally agree. He looks slow and disinterested.

Only hope is to put him in place of Distin.

 

[DionDublin]

I dont think Heitinga is a brilliant centre half but certainly better than distin, play him their

 

[ToxtethBlue]

He wasn't all that bad against Manchester Utd, I know that much, but he was awful yesterday, which was pretty much the case for every player on show for Everton. Slow, didn't break up play and never offered anything in possession.

I wouldn't say it's anything to do with attitude, though. He shouldn't be playing in midfield with Fellaini and Arteta available to us. I still believe him and Jagielka should be given a chance to form a partnership at the back, which is his favoured position.

 

[Dushku]

Dusty-Bin's major flaw is his one footedness. If at any point he's caught on right hand side he has two options. His favoured one is to try and turn away from trouble, which when you have the turning circle of a B.P Oil tanker and the finesse of a Sumo wrestler, is not a good one. His other option is to play the ball with his right foot - which is diabolical.

You'd of thought that,as a professional footballer over the many years since you first kicked your very first ball - you'd of addressed this problem and at least tried to over come this dreadful affliction and practice and practice and practised until your foot was sore just to try and achieve the ability to play with both feet. Even if it's just to clear a ball comfortably.

TxB nails it as per usual.

This is a very very good point.

If Distin is dutch, he'll never be pick ahead of Heitinga, I don't think he'll be call up by Oranje at all, says it all.

Absoulutey [Poor language removed], just a massive weapon.

Playing like you dont fukkin care. Superstar now you've played in a WCF.

If you dont want to be here, fukk off.

an it go's for every player who pulls the royal blue........

I near had an off y'day over him .

HE WAS [Poor language removed] . HE DIDN'T LOOK INTERESTED .

I said " Fuk Off if you don't wanna be here " .The Fella saw his arse ,...etc .

Myself and Source agreed last night , that if he wants off - which is what I heardc ; NOT Source related , then let's get the dough an' buy a fukn Striker . At least Distin is up for it . Plus , Duffy won't be far way at Xmas .

Life wil go on .

I love Johnny . Don't get me wrong , but we'll be here a LONG time after he's got off .

Vero .

I think we should give him the chance to play with Jags before we tell him to do one. He's stinking up the place in midfield, yes, but he's always done well at CB.

Moyes needs to stop playing Felli as an attacking mid. He's a £15 million player, and he was bought to play in defensive mid. He's the best we've got there, so put him there.

 

[edge]

dont get this fella at all.rubbish in midfield and i think he gets pulled all over the place at the back dont think he has the brains to play there without someone telling him go here and there might be ok at fullback , would bin him,billy saha and the yak if anyone would buy them off us none have the heart to play for everton

 

[Goat]

Oh come on hey lids.

He was VERY bad yesterday, but to say he wants out is knee jerk at best.

 

[kenada_blue]

I think he's got a hangover from the WC. End of the day...he's one of the talented players in the entire team, a type of player we should have in the squad and have players of that calibre in the squad.

He was terrible yesterday and maybe he's thinking "I should be centre over that donkey in Distin" and he's threw a cob on. He's champions league class, as are a certain number of the team. So IMO he should be playing and playing in his best position.

He's top class, and to be fair if you want top class in the side...you've maybe gotta stroke an ego or two and keep them sweet. Moyes wouldnt do that. He's never had to deal with ego's or high end class players - maybe he needs to change tact.

KB just hit on something there you know.

Think about it, if Moyes teams selections are amazing us, imagine what they are doing to the players.

 

[uknightbreed]

i think its fair to say he has not been anwhere close to his best , but then again he had a world cup , missed preseason , is behind in his fitness and match sharpness compared to other players + is being played out of position.

arteta has been just as pants and so has fellaini and osman and they dont have any excuses.

He's just played in the final of greatest football tournament in the world against the best players in the world at centre half...

He cant even get picked over Distin at centre half.....

I'd be whinging.
