2019/20 Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[Lelouch]

are people really slating him, chucked on with no pre season while also being his first time playing in the Premiership
lads?

 

[Dymak]

He was hesitant at first but you can tell that he's more than an adequate replacement for Idrissa Gana Gueye. Looks like he will come in handy as a reserve centre back as well.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

I actually think he looked good on the ball dare I say would have suited been next to Gana

 

[Axlswhk]

Negative: lack of awareness, didn’t impose himself. Probably shock by the nature of English football. Look lost at times. Language barrier perhaps?
Don’t expect him to tackle and defend like Gana but he will be useful offensively

Positive: Like to play one two short passes at the edge and not afraid to run into the box.

 

[YoboCopter]

Do any turkish teams want him on loan yet

 

[KaiserEFC]

He’s not used to the pace of the league and not having time on the ball. He’s built like a Goliath so he can easily shrug/hold players off the rest will just come with experience. He actually played some nice balls too

Yep. Also, he was lobbed into the game with no preseason to speak of in a position that requires time to build up an understanding with your teammates. He wasn’t even supposed to make an appearance today.

Yeah, let's judge everyone who played on nothing but that 90 minutes.

 

[DaChunk]

Haven't seen an Everton midfielder come in and run the game like that since Klassan.

 

[funkygibson]

Blokes hardly had a pre season and by his own admission he thought playing this week was too soon. He then has to come in halfway into to a game in blustery conditions against a notorious horrible team to play against and gets caught on the ball a couple of times as many foreign imports have over the years & the tools on Twitter and forums think he’s [Poor language removed]. Took last years squad until February last season to fully understand silva’s tactics but Gbamin is supposed to be up to speed after 5 days of training

 

[Lapeno77]

Thought he improved as the game went on. Certainly better than some of his more experienced team mates.

 

[atrottel]

Looked very much like he wasn't used to the physicality they let go in the PL (e.g. Benteke and Mikhailovic barging him in the back numerous times). Once he knows what he can and cannot get away with he'll become a fan favourite.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Needs time lads was a tough game anyway in the conditions never mind he's barely had a week in training properly with the side.

Bernard, Siggurdsson and DCL are the jokers and Schnerderlin is a disgrace.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He's had two (2) training sessions with us and we are going to write him off because he didn't come dominate off the bat? Give it a rest.

 

[Milkman]

Actually embarrassed for some of you here. The vaulting will be savage.
