Like I said, we’ll see, the proof will be in what transpires. If hardly plays then no problem, if he does play regularly then the league campaign will suffer.
In the 22/23 season he started as effectively 6th choice. Lampard recognised the...
We’ll see. We had a decent season for that group of player in 23/24 because Keane was finally sidelined and kept out the team. There’s a correlation between how little we see of him and how good our form is. His performances in the 4 games to...
All Season? - then relegation is almost certain.
I will vault every single person that said they are happy with him being 4th choice and burn them at the stake.
Goalkeeper injuries are far less likely than outfield player injuries. People are talking as though it’s highly unlikely to happen, we finished the season with Tarkwoski and Branthwaite both injured. We started the season with Branthwaite...
Can’t think of too many CBs in the league who can’t deal with a long ball into the channel.
I don’t think it is the same. If United consider Yoro and Martinez their first choice pairing they have De Ligt and Maguire, both miles better than...
As things currently stand, and given Moyes’s preferred line up (which I think he’ll retain next season regardless of who comes in at right back), we are one injury away from Keane starting every game at CB. One.
Mykolenko, Branthwaite...
That was the standard back then. Now we’re congratulating the club for extending a centre back that most fans recognise isn’t actually good enough to be playing premier league football. Nice lad though, so what does it matter, it’s only 4th...
Difference is that Hibbert and Neville were actually miles better than what we have now. Neville gets in the team in either full back position or in midfield. Hibbert walks in at right back and I’d rather see him at CB than Michael Keane.
I...
Players are either good enough or they’re not, it shouldn’t be ‘well they can stay if they’re only on x amount per week’. I’m glad some of these players turned down contract offers for wage reasons but I’d rather Everton just hadn’t offered them...
I’d like to hope so too, and a positive version of events may well turn out that way. I just can’t get away from the thought that you shouldn’t offer contracts or any value to players you don’t want to keep.
The fact that Everton had months of...
Imagine if DCL and Doucoure had also accepted the offered contracts.
These players just aren’t good enough and have shown it under countless managers.
Coleman should have been moved upstairs or into coaching. The rest should have been punted...
It's concerning that it's Bascombe saying that. I can't conceive of a world in which both Michael Keane and Jack Harrison are still in the squad next year. Complete and utter dross.
