Centre Midfield

[toffeejack]

haha of course it's going to look bad when we've just played a game where two of those five have been injured, one was sent off and the other was making a debut having watched about 40 mins of english footy first hand.

 

[matty1878]

Dave, if Gomes wouldn’t of went of injured this thread would be mute. It’s the first game mate have faith!

This is going to be a real problem area this season.

Delph
Davies
Gbamin
Gomez
Schneiderlin

Gomez aside* that's looking very second rate.

Baningime cant get a squad number, so I dont suppose he's anywhere near an appearance.



*harsh on Gbamin, but taking this first appearance as evidence anyway.

Delph - I'm giving benefit of doubt
Davies - really positive today
Gbamin - will he learn from today - who knows?
Gomes - we all assume he will deliver his best consistently
Schneiderlin - dead to me

So, yeah, it might be a problem, but it's too early to know

 

[davek]

I agree. Throw in the fact Gomes is more than capable of throwing in a run of form where he will have to be benched and it is a huge cause for concern. Think we're banking everything on Delph showing some quality but then you wonder how many times he will even make it onto the pitch.

When / if Delph plays I'd play him between defence and midfield.

 

[Lelouch]

dave it's Gomes m8, I'm getting triggered by the Z.

 

[davek]

What did you think of it today Dave?

It was ok. Still....

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Christ, what a thread.

 

[davek]

I think you answered your own point there...

Harsh on Gbamin who had no preseason games and about 1 weeks training.

Will be Gbamin and Gomes going forward. The others as backup.

Next season is where we will add some cherries on top of the squad.

The 4-2-3-1 = I'm done with it.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Here's an idea: why dont you focus on the centre-midfiled topic?

Considering you penchant for derailing topics I’d say that’s quite a statement of double standards you’ve made there.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Think Gbamin will come good personally, he looked a bit rusty but seemed to have a lot about him.

 

[Tubey]

This is a transitional season anyway. I can't wait for next season.

 

[billyblue80]

Gbamin has had no preseason and he's a kid in a new league. Total rush to judgement on him.

 

[billyblue80]

This is a transitional season anyway. I can't wait for next season.

Every season is transitional at Everton ha ha

 

[billyblue80]

Midfield is the least of our problems. Lack of cutting edge and depth at the back well ahead.

Gomes - we all assume he will deliver his best consistently
Schneiderlin - dead to me

I have doubts about all them, tbf.

Gueye in the last half of last season you could just rest easy KNOWING he would be first class. I dont see that in any of this lot yet...as said, Gbamin is unknown and it's harsh, but if that's anything approaching his normal.....
