2021/22 Alex Iwobi

[TheBigIguana]

Why would I pretend it was hard work? Why would the root of it matter to me either way?

I’m telling you what I’ve observed.

That's fine, Evertonians have an obsession with effort, I just don't really get it and think there's a bit of unintentional dishonesty with it.

Okay. I don’t.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Okay. I don’t.

The same thing is happening with Gray right now.

 

[allen]

The same thing is happening with Gray right now.

People are responding positively to him working hard?

 

[TheBigIguana]

People are responding positively to him working hard?

People suddenly don't think he sucks and are saying it is because he worked harder but really it is because he played better and we won. It's a constant thing.

Hard work > positive crowd response > improved confidence > improved performance.

It’s no more complicated than that.

There’s no intellectual dishonesty.

If you're convinced that you're always behind the hard working players I guess there isn't. But I disagree with that premise.

Question is can our Tom now be transformed?

Watch in awe and wonderment as Frank turns Tom into the hirsute Zizou.

Just has to run harder right?

 

[Frenk]

Just has to run harder right?

Yeah in the right direction, that would be a start.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Yeah in the right direction, that would be a start.

Nope! Just running is all that matters.

 

[allen]

Nope! Just running is all that matters.

Not one person thinks that.

Way to caricature a perfectly reasonable and clearly observable phenomenon.

 

[Ruairi77]

Some of us have been at this for 50 years or more and don't need telling what is or isn't an Everton player.

You all do it to yourselves, I'm sorry.

 

[allen]

You all do it to yourselves, I'm sorry.

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realise there was a plain of pompous enlightenment unattainable to those of us who value effort.

Now I know, I’ll be more deferential in future.
