Homepage Update: Everton Brands Appointment Confirmed

[davek]

I can't help but think this post must be a wind up.

Every player that was brought in during the summer who has played have been miles better than what we already had. Crucially Brands also managed a fairly comprehensive clear out of the absolute mess that had become our first team, brought in quality replacements in the positions that badly needed change and has managed to do this in a relatively short period of time.

The striker situation does need addressing of course but there is no doubt that that will be addressed either in January or next summer and Brands looks like the man to come up with a proper one judging by his additions so far. If we have to wait until next summer then so be it as January isn't the best time to be looking for top drawer strikers.

Brands is the Messiah mate and no mistake.

The most crucial position on the pitch should have been prioritised in the summer just gone.

Richarlison is a Silva signing. Obviously.
Bernard - jury still out. I dont think he looks clinical at all. I'm rooting for him though.
Zouma = barely an upgrade on Jagielka.
Gomes - way too early to see what he brings.
Mina we have no idea.

Mad you

Come on.

Gets himself out of situations his poor positioning got or error him into in the first place most of the time.

they was though? our worst performers baines jags Williams bolasie have ALL ben replaced with high quality players

do we need a striker? yes we do, but to say it was more urgent then other positions is nonsense even for you

The defence was.

We have to score goals dont we? Did you in the summer not see that DCL and Tosun aren't prolific? Of course you did. Most thought that. So why didn't Brands move to get at least some firepower option? Now we're in a situation where we start games with a player bought to play out wide used as an attacker.

What a condemnation of a DoF that is.

It was as urgent, for sure.

Brands didn't see it. That's a legitimate criticism.

Can’t believe I What I’ve read on here are u actually ok in the head

based on what? cenk had a decent goal return in the last few months when he was played, again we do need a new striker but in no way was it urgent.

a new CB/LB now that WAS urgent

Proper weird this thread.

 

[Abraders]

Our strength in depth and first eleven have improved since Marcel had hold of things.

It's easy to forget he was only here for a short time before the window opened in the first place.

There is still a long way to go but if the quality of these signings continues then we'll be in for a good time.

His positioning and reading danger is better than anyone we’ve had since Jags in his pomp.

Dave not taken his meds again I see?

Mate having a decent defence is very important but the most crucial and most important position is the forwards, always has been that's why the best legends are always attackers, does Dixie Dean ring any bells.

We finished last season having conceded 58 goals and still had Jagielka and Baines as regular starters, of course the defence was a priority.
