2018/19 Cuco Martina

I'm defending him. It's an absolute travesty he was signed. I'm just stating that Kenny who we currently have at right back makes just as many errors. Albeit is clearly a better footballer.
I won't agree or disagree with you, but instead I'll ask a question:

If your assessment of both players is accurate, do you see how them being equally error-prone means that JJK is the right one to start games for Everton right now?

Martina isn't going to get any better than he already is. He's found his level and that level is in the Championship with Stoke. JJK has every chance of becoming a better player, and quite quickly too.
 
People swarm this site to tell us how “not that bad” he is, but the young players put in an equivalent performance and it’s burn them at the stake. Last season we had people coming on here telling us the errors he was making that were costing us goals time and time again, weren’t actually his errors and blamed someone else.

With Cuco it was more a case of you can't make mistakes if you are never in the right defensive position. He was a terrible player but not weak mentally and at least didn't shirk responsibility.

I just don't agree with people acting like our young players are so much better than the Koeman signings, because they simply aren't.

But they’re young and can obviously improve, this fella has a whole career of being a non-footballer behind him.

Unfortunately, a trait that many of our younger players seem to have brought with them from the Academy.

Very bad player. Not good enough for Everton. And yes I'd prefer Kenny. But I don't think he's currently close to good enough either. I just hope Coleman is fit soon because a half fit, out of form Coleman is far preferable to what we've seen over the last 18 months.

Of course. But I don't think the everton first team should have so many youngsters learning on the job. Firstly, most of them are 50:50 chances at best of making it, and secondly, getting chucked into a dysfunctional team in transition is probably hurting any development they could be making.

That’s true, but I’d rather persevere with a player that might improve than someone that will remain the worst player to have ever worn the shirt regardless of game time. In an ideal world we’d just play a good full back though.
