2023/24 Ashley Young

[Remember-the-name]

Well done lad

It's gonna sound weird, but really he 'forced' that penalty in the way he reacted & got into the refs ear. Fair play.

VAR gave the pen more players than Ashley Young shouted for that headlock - definitely a headlock Denise

 

[Gilbert..]

He doesn’t deserve the stick he gets. He’s had a great career and gives 100% - it takes a lot of professionalism and discipline to still be playing now at his age.

He's a good player. Wish he was a few years younger as he would be an asset to Everton.
That penalty tonight showed he's had big club mentality. He was getting that pen. He bloody made sure of it
other Everton player be like. Oh well. Ok. Lets play on then.

….i thought he was poor in the first half, looked physically incapable of going past the opposition. Much better in the 2nd half when we pushed on a bit, got a few shots on goal and his professionalism shone through when earning the penalty.

He’s probably a ‘safe’ option but surely there’s a player who can offer more threat in that key position. Danjuma on the left, McNeil on the the right might be worth trying.

Afraid if he was a few years younger he would not be at Everton

It's how you engineer penalties. The whole front line could learn this.

Did nothing, offered absolutely nothing and then Paul Dummet decided to put him in a headlock because he’s a shockingly bad footballer.

The only reason he’s still playing now is because we are a basket case of a club managed by one of his mates. Not a chance any other club would’ve offered him a contract.

That's a good point, I was wondering why he did that. Now it makes sense to me, he was just annoyed about who he had to mark

 

[Clarky cat]

Luton did I believe but there’s no way they would of offered him anywhere near the insane 50k a week we did!

Mad the praise he's getting.

Other than Pickford and Beto he had the worst passing % of any player and he was dispossessed the most too.

He was absolutely atrocious first half and then all he does is run around for 15 minutes and people think he's incredible. Very odd.

That’s harsh, he also waved his arms about for the penalty because he’s a winner.

They don't think he's incredible, it's just a straight comparison with him and Harrison.

I don't think Harrison has even entered an opposition penalty area all season, yet Young, in the 89th minute, was in there and won us a penalty to rescue a point.

The goal we conceded was in no way down to him either, so if we're comparing him to Harrison, who actually does offer nothing at all, Young wins all day.

Still keep Jack for fresh legs off the bench if needed, but absolutely do not buy in the summer.

“Won us a penalty”

Come off it.

He was about to bicycle kick it into the net before he was DDT'd to the ground. Fantastic from the experienced Ashley, then basically forced a penalty to be awarded by hounding the referee to ensure he didn't crumble under pressure at the VAR screen.
