Barnfred 55's latest activity

Yes I’ve noticed the same. A game a few weeks back he had 4 defensive midfielders and not a recognised striker on the pitch. It’s all about the result and that’s not what academy football is about.

You look at that starting XI against Blackburn and I saw about 4/5 players out of position and a team set up to not lose the game. I have no idea what system he played and our one creative player was playing centre forward himself FFS. I think we...

I know it seems daft Joey, but the main purpose of the U23s is not to win the U23 league. It is to bring through players from the academy into the first XI squad. If you followed the youth teams you would know that, over the past 2 seasons, he...

Let's put it this way. If Brands walked because he couldn't get his own way in Unsworth towing the party line, then the club has deep rooted issues.

Maybe If Brands tried to get Unsworth out it would be like banging his head against a brick wall if Unsworth is close to Kenwright and Mrs. Baxindale, Imthink Brands is much more valuable to the club than Unsy.

I disagree about the last bit. So Gordon wasn’t good enough at the back end of last season? When sambou was playing, even though he was leaving. Ryan Astley played RB the 2nd half of last season, but now is stuck on the bench, when he’s...

Brands needs to have full control over football matters. Mosh owns this club, not Kenwright or DBB. Unsworth has to be told to follow club procedures or he walks. Simple. He hasn't always been like this. When he first took over from Stubbs he...

Winning the league should just be an added bonus to progress. You’re right it is a joke.

An impressive cameo from Simms when he came on, the goal was much as he was doing last season, running into space with speed, holding off defenders and finishing , something neither Hornby or Sambou looked capable of doing last season. He showed...

Well I couldn’t disagree that experience is needed and helps youngsters, my point is that we didn’t have any inexperienced youngsters amongst the outfield starters tonight, unless you classify Gordon as that which I don’t . Simply put, if you...

I’ve heard, but can’t confirm, that Charsley has now been given a short-term contract “ because we’re short of experienced players at U23s due to exits/loans”, it had me fuming when I first heard it .If this is true it really is shocking but is...

Well nobody at Everton of course will guarantee him a place, and I imagine Brands will say something similar to what he did with Delph, “ this is how we see you playing , this is the competition you have” . If he continues to do well at Schalke...

"Bournemouth 3-1 Everton Everton could have gone third with a win today and now social media is full of people wanting Marco Silva to lose his job. Welcome to 2019" Copy and pasted from the BBC website. Says everything I could have wanted to...

It would be good if he was back for City. We wont see much of the ball so it's important we retain it as much as possible when we do get it.

Why do they always have that nob on for Everton games? They also have David Meyler watching the game for SSN. The self confessed lifelong RS fan.
