People writing him off already. Have a word...

Don't think anyone is writing him off but it was a tough introduction. Seeing as he's going to be first choice there's a lot of pressure on him to hit the ground running.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Thought he looked like a rabbit in headlights, a worrying start. Looked like he had a 50p head as well. What an arse Rafael’s made of this situation, huge pressure on the guy to get up to speed quickly because of his incompetent handling of Digne.

 

[Misa]

Time will tell on him.

Will say one thing though, there is always the chance that the manager that is losing most games whilst at Everton may not be the best person to sign players for the club.

Hope he is a great player for us but if the outdated and terrible manager is signing his players, always the risk that it's not worth the money.

You mean like the £1.7m Gray who scored the equalizer and likely player of the season? Or the free back up gk who did well today? Or the free squad winger who scored the winner? Ah.... I think you meant the free Rondon. 3 out of 4 so far. Not counting the 3rd goalie who's basically a training companion. Ya. What a waste of money amirite?

Have you met Kev and friends?

…..I appreciate it’s his first game but I have to say I was a bit concerned with that display. I’m not keen on his movement, his gait and how he settles in a one on one against a forward.

i need convincing, he’s not what I thought.

New players can play badly but you can see there's quality in there straight away. That wasn't what I saw tonight. He could do with a slow introduction but he isn't going to get it unfortunately.

 

[Brownie]

Positives: Didn't make any horrific mistakes, looked like he knew the position, good attitude and commitment.

Negatives: Very uncomfortable in 1v1s, struggled physically in general.

 

[blulouie]

Looked like a rabbit in the headlights 1st 20 minutes....like most of the team tbh.
Looked off the pace at times , but stuck to his task and got better as the game went on. He'll be ok when he's upto speed and more minutes under his belt.

Much to be expected really.

Also slow

Patterson is miles better. You will see.

I don't get responses like this. Saying this player or that player is good so that means this one will be good.

By that logic , we are all wrong because benitez would sign an entire team of good players and therefore win us things, let alone games if we give him time and money. Good players win things after all!

Not every player a manager signs is great. We will find out by this time next year if our new left back is boss.

 

[Brownie]

Also slow

Didn't think he looked too slow personally. Not quick by any means, but by the Everton barometer, not slow either.

Was the thing that stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Struggling to keep with with the winger, or get past their fullback like he was wading through treacle.

Again, not having a go at him. I actually feel quite sorry for him thinking of the games he's gonna have to play right away.

 

[lieneverton]

Looked uncomfortable and hard to say it was a good debut if we're being honest. But, need to give the lad some time.

Imagine watching the dross we’ve put up with this year, seeing us 15th in the table and in one of the worst runs of form in the clubs history, and logging on to an Internet forum to defend the dislikable kopite manager that has done it.

I don't have any issues with the gist of your message. You said yourself not every player any manager sign is going to turn out great and it takes time to tell. Why then is there a need to push the anti-Benitez agenda here? Keep it in that mess of thread. I simply pointed out that most of his signings have turned out well so far and it's nothing but agenda to use transfers as something to complain about.

Sign young players with potential, complain they are not ready, risky, waste of money. Sign experienced players, complain that they are overpaid and has no future value. Play young players and develop them, the experienced ones are better. Play experienced players, complain that youths are not given a chance. Such a sad life to constantly be negative about everything.
