2021/22 Ben Godfrey

[ValBlue]

Thankfully.

Keane is shocking. Godfrey is a man mountain. Holgate was not the issue in my opinion.

Holgate was bullied by Adams, in the air, on the ground, with the ball. Totally bullied. Have to disagree - Keane was responsible for his error but Holgate was just as unconvincing imo
It’s a shame too because a few seasons ago he looked as if he’s really kicked on

I thought Holgate was going to be a top CB but the mental side of his game seems to have gone to pot. I remember telling people to get off his back because he made an error in a friendly just before last season and saying how he’s fine being tuned out in a nothing match as long as it doesn’t creep into his real performances, sadly last season it did.

Godfrey on the other hand, looks outstanding and has freakish pace which will bail us out of a lot of sticky situations. I’m sure Godfrey will still make a few mistakes this season but he’ll also save us goals the way peak Seamus used to where he would suddenly appear making a last ditch tackle or clearance.

Please rest up and be ready for training second half of the week. Fresh and ready to go for Elland road hopefully.

Hope he's back for next weekend we need his pace and coolness on the ball. Leeds are relentless with Keane and Holgate it could get messy.

Crucial Godfrey is back for Leeds, defence was shocking v Soton

It wasn't but he should still start

In 2017 Holgate was a ball playing CB according to Evertonians. In 2020 we finally dropped it. Takes about 3 years for whatever reason.

I didn't say Godfrey was a ball player but he handles the ball decently and has rapid recovery that's important against a side like Leeds. Godfrey isn't the finished article he switches off too much at times but he can still develop.

Bet most of us hoped you’d stop being so negative about everything after three years but here you are still just as negative
