Problem is who do you even bench him for? Gray and McNeil are equally as ineffective.

Yep, ideally you drop all 3 but who comes in? I'm tempted to shove all the u21s in from last night, that's the first tike I've enjoyed an Everton performance in about 5 years lol

 

[lieneverton]

Hope he starts backing up his promise asap. Let's be honest if he was on the other side you'd love to punt him into the stands, which isn't nice but is the truth.

6 cards already this season in 11 games, that's not acceptable.

Christ you’re really milking this. Never a pen and correctly not given. 0/10 performance from Gordon.

With all due respect mate, you've already acknowledged far softer pens are routinely given.

Theres an argument they shouldnt be, but they are. It cant be 1 rule for Everton players being fouled, another rule for everyone else.

But yes, his performance wasnt very good, which I have noted.

I know a bad apple when I see one.

Do you? Based on what exactly?

I wanted Mills to get a go ages ago. We never just try things but I guess that's a consequence of how pressurised staying in this league is.

They’re not “routinely given”. The only example you could give me was a game against Brighton from 3 years ago and vaguely allude to Salah and Mane winning soft pens without giving any actual examples.

There's no way he wouldn't have a bit of snide about him as well. He'd get above Mcneill in the pecking order very quickly.

 

[MikeH72]

He’s talking nonsense.

 

[dannyboy]

Terrible performance. He's struggled for a few weeks now. When he plays poorly, there's no one else in the team to drag us on which places a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

Was never 60 mill, frank himself said that in a press conference. Would of been 25-30 mill up front with the rest being stupid adds on which probably most of it would never of got. However I would of took the 20-30 mill, I just don’t see what yeh fuss is, he can’t do the basics.

 

[Lanolin]

Last year I thought there was a lot to like albeit he looked fairly limited. This year in the main he’s been absolutely dire, he currently looks every an inch a player who would struggle on loan at Preston. The bookings thing is becoming a serious issue too, at this rate he’s on course to be missing 3 games through suspension by the halfway point of the season, somebody needs to get a grip of that before it gets out of hand.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Nope

 

[catcherintherye]

Lesson in point about turning down good money for unproven players, no matter how much potential

His last 2 performances have been a joke to be honest. Got absolutely ran off the park there, clearly didn't want it enough

Yes. We should have look to have brokered a deal, but often emotion gets in the way. You hope the people running the club are able to think in a far more clinical way though.
