Best 20 Everton Players Since 2007

[jonesl2]

Cahill
Lukaku
Baines
Coleman
Pienaar
Arteta
Fellaini
Jagielka
Lescott
Barkley
Barry
Mirallas
Gueye
Yakubu
McCarthy
Saha
Sylvain Distin
Stones
Nikica Jelavić
Andy Johnson

That's the order for me, had to have Jelavic for that scoring period alone where I generally thought he was the in the top 10 strikers in Europe at the time. And Howard just misses out because I unfortunately can not get his last season under Martinez with us where he was truly horrific. Cahill will always be number 1 in my eyes, heart him.

[davies1878]

lescott was brilliant

forgot what a player he was for the club

 

[efcforever]

Arteta
Baines
Coleman
Yakubu - he was great on his day. Strength, speed and skill. Just a shame about his injury and he didn't seem to get on with Moyes.

Lukaku
Pienaar
Cahill
Jagielka
Distin
Fellaini
Barkley
Drenthe
Gana
Schneiderlin
Howard
Barry
Saha (4 goals against Blackpool)
Miralles
Davies
Lescott

Put Drenthe in because he showed flashes of brilliance. Shame it didn't work out with him.

 

[Rook]

I'd make a case for Lescott to be bold as well. He was fantastic while he was here. Osman above McCarthy as well.

I thought he was a better LB than CB here (at CB he would occasionally get lost, but made up for it with goals). You go back and watch those matches he played there and he would just shut down any attack on the left side. It allowed us to get away with Arteta on the left because he could just roam and do Arteta things. Plus in attack he couldn't cross like Baines so he would just bully lightweights on his way to box.

McCarthy
Gueye
Yakubu

Players in bold a class above the rest at least for now.

You have stones twice?
An distan and jonny h both was better in defence.

I liked him in both positions. Moving him allowed the Baines/Pienaar relationship to develop which has been the best thing about Everton since I've been watching. The football those two played was world class at times

 

[Furey1878]

Arteta
Pienaar
Cahill
Barkley
Carsley
Coleman
Baines
Jagielka
Fellaini
Mirallas
Stones
Lukaku
Barry
Distin
Yakubu
Saha
Gueye
Schneiderlin
Fernandes (rat)
Lescott (also rat)

 

[Furey1878]

If Arteta, Pienaar and Cahill aren't at the top of your list then I'd recommend finding a new sport

 

[vintage-toffees]

Baines Cahill

Only 2 who I would say are greats
Lots of very good players

Would have added pienaar but his Tottenham holiday spoilt it for him

But few get Everton like they did
