Something fishy going on, has he got a no drop clause in his contract. I can never in my 60 years supporting Everton remember a more ineffective player continue to be picked.
OK if he scores but even then I'm left thinking we'd improve as a team if he was replaced by anyone else who was involved for 90 minutes.
 
Unsurprisingly him going off didn't have much of an impact,
Quite often it feels like playing with ten men when he's on the pitch,
He always seems to be found lunging to control the ball, as if he's constantly a yard too slow to keep up with play,
The bit where he pitifully tried to outmuscle their defender , completely failing to keep the ball in play sums him up at the minute, tries hard but just not good enough right now

Even this is a myth. All he does is chase down when out of possession.

Anyone can do that.

In possession he's one of the laziest players I've ever seen. He downs tools and jogs behind the nearest opposition player he can find.

He's a joke. We legit played better when he went off and we were down to ten men.
 

Such a bizarre situation. On paper he is probably our most accomplished player, his crossing, long range shooting and through balls are top 6 worthy. He is also clearly in his prime.
However he is so specialist in what he does, that he can't operate in the 4-3-3 formation that is proving so effective in world football. Every top team plays this formation, bar potentially Athletico (442).
It is to the detriment if the team at the moment when he plays, for that reason Silva has to bench him. Even putting Davies in a midfield three would help our transition, that's how tactically poor we are at the moment.

Silva wouldn't be in this pickle if he would have the sense to drop this phantom but he gets what he deserve.

45m for a player that strolls around and sometimes gets a good shot away, dear lord.
