Yeah there seems to be a trend with that. Generally after a good result and a good performance, the individual player thread is quiet ... Particularly for a long term player like Tarks who has done nothing but serve the club admirably to the best of his ability. But a loss or a bad individual...

He was fine, and in the second half one of the better players. Unfortunately after the debacle at Goodison, some have made their minds up regardless and will only see the negatives.

Countless examples of European players who initially struggled with the English league, the English ethos etc, many of whom eventually flourished. Maybe he'll be one that fails, or just maybe he'll be successful. And maybe, just maybe, making your mind up after a grand total of 145 Premier...

Seems abundantly clear that he's playing injured, and probably quite badly injured at that. From memory last season he played the final month with a broken born or bad soft tissue injury (can't remember which) and it wasn't even mentioned in Dyche's pre-match pressers, this season he's being...

No, come on, what are you talking about? If Tarkowski doesn't get 5 goals and 4 assists from set pieces each season, in addition to keeping 15+ clean sheets and marshalling a defence including a combination of Coleman, Young, Keane, Mykolenko and Paterson, then really he should be dropped as...

What a hilarious read this thread is from the start of Saturday's game to now. This is a guy who has come to a relegation-threatened, low on confidence Everton with his tail between his legs after January's situation. Obviously nervous and with a burning desire to impress and win over the fans...

There is a winger on the bench, a good one at that - but apparently after a minor injury which kept him out of 1 pre-season friendly, he's deemed "not fit enough" to start 2 weeks in a row :Blink:

I know you've said afterwards that you didn't mean to criticise him as much as you have in a sense, but the bold part of your message is quite loaded, I feel. Put Lionel Messi at Tony Pulis-managed Stoke or West Brom and he would look decidedly average - so it's great for him that he found...

Club's best player leaves, some fans claim it will be fine because he didn't catapult the club to the top four by himself. Shock horror, club now 17th and easier to beat than an egg. Said player now dominating for one of the world's best teams. But it's still OK, because said player was just a...

P.S. Also interesting to see that Andre Gomes is statistically one of the worst midfielders in the league when it comes to stopping opponents walking through the midfield ... yeah Everton will be sweet when they let Gueye leave and play Delph and Gomes next to each other .... LOLLLLLLLLL

Incredible to see how Fernandinho, Fabinho, Ndombele, Torreira, Ndidi, Matic, Doucoure, Neves and Rice are all outperforming Gueye over the last 3 years. Definitely shows PSG up for fools, Kante is also way better than Gueye as the below metric shows. Can't help but agree with those who say...

If Gueye stays, which is probably not happening, he is not the player in midfield fighting for his position.... He is the first name on the teamsheet and has been since virtually the day he arrived.

If he is 21 then I'm about to celebrate my 14th birthday .. any chance his birth certificate actually got lost somewhere in the late 1980s and the new copy miraculously had a date of birth in the late 1990s instead?

Ok so Gueye at 30m is poor, Fabinho at 55m is poor, but Brands will find a better and younger player than both of them for cheaper. I see.

The last technically brilliant defensive midfielder signed to the EPL is Fabinho, and he cost Liverpool 55m. Add some inflation for another year, and the fact Everton aren't a top 2 club fighting for trophies, and they'd need to probably find 70-75m for the same player. Will they ever spend this...
