He works hard, he can score one on one. He has his weaknesses but can work on them. Much better than a player able to hold the ball up but not able to score
There’s no question who we should be keeping between him and DCL. Beto actually scores. Just waiting for the DCL “but he holds the ball up” acolytes to descend…
I've heard every excuse going for DCL. His hold up play is great, he doesn't get service, he's unlucky, it's *manager name* fault.
Truth is, he had a 3 month purple patch and that's it. He's nowhere near good enough. We NEED goalscorers, with a...
Both of his double digit seasons he scored the overwhelming majority of the goals in a 3 month purple patch.
19/20 Scored 10 of his 13 league goals in the three months between December and March 1st.
20/21 Scores 11 of his 16 league goals in...
That's a lot of words to say he's got 13 goals (without penalties) in 4 seasons. Just over 3 a season, I want our defensive players getting those stats, not our number 9. We've got to aim higher. A striker scoring 3.25 non penalty goals a season...
Personally I’d rather them knock Goodison down completely and build something similar to Man City’s Academy Stadium. It would be great to retain elements of Goodison but it just doesn’t seem cost effective and would generally undermine the big...
If you think the Premier League are going to let Everton get away with the same PSR fiddles as Chelsea do, I strongly disagree. Watch that particular loophole get tightened up as soon as a non-Sky team tries it. I just don’t feel this at all...
Can’t help but feel massively disappointed with this. Not from a “Joey Barton” point of view. It’s nothing to do with the women’s team - I didn’t want it being kept open for U21s, Academy etc or any team at all. I just wanted us to finish up...
1974/75 season. Everton finished 4th with 50 points (2 points for a win). Derby won the League on 53. Just 4 points off being Champions but we were beaten home and away by the club who finished rock bottom, Carlisle United.
This one shows how long and deep the curse is…“An abandonment in the 1904/05 season changed the outcome of the League championship. Everton's match at Woolwich Arsenal in November was abandoned after 76 minutes due to fog with the Merseysiders...
