You say always will be and I'll ask my question again, didn't his attacking stats improve under Moyes?

Maybe, but he was still terrible on the ball. Stats nerds maybe won’t understand why that matters but it does.

Agree with the sentiments mate , but nobody can ever surpass Big Mick Lyons in my eyes.

Before my time. My dad loved Alan Ball.

Given he's 7th (!) percentile among fullbacks for carrying the ball up the pitch I think we might agree with you mate

Well aged like a fine wine hopefully.

I have absolutely no idea what that means. I just know a footballer who has ability on the ball. I’ve said elsewhere that Baines is my gold standard of Everton fullbacks. Coleman was effective but nowhere near as good on the ball. Myko is Hibbert level.

I also love Ndiaye. I just like players with natural talent that can skin people. Parts of his game are absolute elite and he would hold his own training with any team in the world in terms of touch and technique. Can’t say that about many players we’ve had recently apart from James.
