Well that's why he had better stats, but I think its a bit disingenuous to call him a "serviceable Premier League keeper" that anyone else could fill. There are 15 of those every season by definition. At some point there has to be a distinction...
I have to say I think thats revisionist history. From the year Howard came in on loan, until 2014 we were such a better defensive side, our best stretch in the PL by far. It was only his last two years we started shipping goals again...
Its comforting to know the club have not even reached out to him about a contract. Finally some rational thinking in the front office. I hope he has a great last couple of matches, but hes been here long enough.
Yes, he was good, but Ive noticed fans here love to re-invent a players career based on their last year or two. Its more fun to throw out everything in favor of the worst moments and the end of their career, much like people currently try and do...
None mate, thats what I was showing. When he starts, his goals.
Here's his stats for his goals PL only
1st goal v Newcastle (sub for 5 minutes)
2nd goal v West Ham (started)
3rd goal v Bournemouth (sub for 11 minutes)
4th goal v Fulham (sub...
I will always remember all of the flak and complaints Lukaku got, until the day we sold him.
Beto is no Lukaku, so he was bound to be called far worse things. Meanwhile, considering what we have had post-Lukaku, I think wed be foolish to part...
I know (for some reason) there are people who don't like goals to minutes ratios but for Everton Beto has scored 15 goals in 2819 minutes.
That's a goal every 187 minutes - almost one goal every two games.
He has his faults but that's a decent...
he’s so much more physical than doucoure, doucoure is taller and could probably bench press more but in terms of actual in game strength and physicality Alcaraz is superior
needs a goal in front of the gwladys next week. cue chants of sign him up
Must win.
Anything else would obviously be a disgrace. End Goodison with a win. Almost asure 13th place in the league. Give everyone a huge lift into next season.
So the premier league is now looking at 9 european spots next season. This is THE time to build a squad to jump the table. I saw an article mentioning theoretically it could get up to 11. Is that actually possible if everything were perfect?
Hes physically made for the premier league. Hes quick, strong, and embraces contact. I think its interesting to note he was instrumental in all 3 goals today, for vastly different reasons. The first one was an aggressive interception that...
