Some people have got a huge hangover from these relegation battle seasons. Really clouding their judgement on what's required from a decent footballer.
This is what he's done for seasons, but because everything went through him there was the odd moment of quality that got everyone carried away. A terrible player to have in the team.
You don't get the feeling that when he gets one the goals will flow. Gonna be a long slog for the season with him as the main man.
Does okay at times in possession, but that's very basic stuff. Can't beat a man or shoot, which is a problem.
The best I've seen him play is when he just runs himself into the ground and forces the issue. I think he starts again on Saturday so good for him to get a run of games.
Great tonight. If we're being fair, which we never are as football fans, playing against Newcastle's midfield is a big ask for any young player. He was out of his depth against them, but he helped us boss the game tonight.
I just don't think he's as good as a lot of people think he is. A good option to have in the squad for the price we paid, but I wouldn't say any more than that.
Bournemouth looked absolutely awful. Were we that good? I'm not sure, but we did enough to win at a ground we've struggled at like it was Anfield.
Our midfield was brilliant. Completely dominated the game. Our attackers not so much.
3 wins in 4 is good going in this league though. Somehow...
With our full backs being so bad it does put more onus on our attacking players to do something special. Barry isn't capable of that unfortunately. Not so much what you're saying. Just the drop of a shoulder and being able to beat a man or getting a decent shot off would help.
Think everyone knows the club needed to move in order to have any chance of competing in the modern game. People can still feel like we've lost something or miss the routines of Goodison. Pretty normal human reaction.
Seat Unique exists to make money. They have absolutely no care how they do that, so until the club reigns them in they'll carry on selling to whoever is willing to pay.
I think there will be a lot of people who step back this season. The promise of a new stadium has no doubt kept people holding season tickets who otherwise might have given them up.
I know a lot of people think people should stop complaining about issues with accessibility to the new ground...
