The role off the ball needs to be replaced. Unless we get midfield reinforcements that midfield is getting played around and walked through without Doucoure in there.
The new recruits have to combine Doucoure’s ability to cover ground with the...
He knows full well that if he stays even if he’s fourth or fifth choice he’s getting on the pitch because Everton just can’t keep any players fit. He’s still played a decent amount of PL football this season despite being fourth choice. I hope...
My only reservation is whether he’s quick enough. He’s got some decent technique but when he doesn’t have the ball I’m not sure he’s got the pace to make an impact with pressing in the way Doucoure does (although he has the opposite problem of...
I’m not sure Alcaraz is quick enough. The one thing Doucoure has going for him is he has the pace to get around the pitch. We need to move away from either or players. We need players who can cover ground and also handle the ball properly.
Today’s peformance was simply confirmation as to why he ‘hopefully’ won’t get a new contract offer. We’ve moved on from relegation scraps, we need a better profile of player now, someone more capable of passing a ball. I wish him well but he...
We had our best chance under Martinez. Lukaku penalty against a poor United in the semi final and then Palace awaiting in the final. I think that was arguably a bigger opportunity than beating that Chelsea team in 09 or beating Klopp’s Liverpool...
Can’t knock a player who wants to play. Could easily have sailed off into the US/Saudi ages ago for mega money but wanted to keep playing first team football in the prem. Maybe we’ve said he won’t have the game time he’s had previously here and...
I think there was a best of both worlds where we could have gone with something like the HD Bramley Moore Stadium. Similar to what some mentioned when USM would have sponsored it. It’s a similar idea to the Spotify Nou Camp. Just dropping the...
can almost see it now, players lining up in the tunnel, as they look up to see what invites them into a world class stadium. Might it be something similar to Old Trafford: the theatre of dreams, this is Anfield, welcome to Goodison Park? and then...
It’s not temporary the same way the Reebok, the echo arena, the Brittania weren’t temporary. Stoke fans still call it the Brit ffs they don’t call it the Bet 365.
The first name is always crucial hence why Spurs have kept it a neutral name for...
