2025/26 Harrison Armstrong

[RFUS]

Drifts in and out of the game at times which is understandable for a young player. It's infinitely preferable to the players we have who never actually get into the game at all.

Even if we get midfielders back soon I'm not sure sending him on loan is a wise move. He is clearly ready.

 

[StateSideToffee]

Very exciting prospect. Love the mentality from the young man. Would expect him to keep improving as he grows into his frame, and gets more PL minutes. Should be 100% starting as an 8 until KDH is back fit.

 

[Nymzee]

Pretty confident the reason he's been able to come in and play really well straight away is because of the loan.

If he'd been on our bench for 6 months he wouldn't do as well.

I th

I think if he had better ball players around him such as Dewsbury Hall, Garner and Grealish his quality would be standing out more than he showed today. That’s not a criticism as I thought he stood out amongst a lot of mediocrity.

Thought he did alright. It's a massive ask for a young player to come in like he has fond the last couple of games and he hasn't let us down. Some of his more experienced team mates on the other hand...

Armstrong is ready. He had time to develop. He shows more purpose and drive to succeed than most of the club. He is homegrown. Take the training wheels off. Keep him here. Start him. Let him create magic with Ndiaye, Garner, KDH, and Grealish. Sending him back is a decision that makes Everton what it is.

Doubt he wants to remain

The difference between the intensity levels and energy being shown by him compared to Dibling is remarkable

2 players at similar stages of their career with a long way to go, but one looks hungry and the other doesn't.

Our benched left back got MOTM-such a rubbish DM theory ....

2 totally different types of player

One player getting regular games all season and another treated disgracefully and clearly devoid of any confidence.

What a weird post.

Does the lack of game time stop a player from putting in a good shift?

What is a "good shift" for a numbet 10 playing as a right winger?

Did he track all the way back - yes?
Did he put his body into tackles - yes?
Did he come inside looking for the ball - yes?

The differences between Aznou, Armstrong and Dibling are all pretty obvious. All different players.

He was abysmal

An incredibly terrible piece if recruitment at 40m plus.

Nonsense. He has loads of talent.

If you cant see that then lets leave it there.

You deserve Moyes.

Talent means nothing if you don't work hard

I think he played well today (was knackered at the end) but would still benefit from a loan back to Preston as he isn't at the level of a Garner, KDH or Gana.
