Think how much you’d have to pay for a striker to get/rescue you as many points as he has. Then consider that any such striker would miss chunks of games through injury. Keepers tend not to. The striker would also have to score a goal of the season contender every single game.
For years he was known only for his distribution, being a good shot stopper, but prone to a clanger. But even his most unreasonable of critics can’t argue that he is now the best at keeping the ball out of the net. His slight randomness hides the fact that he is technically brilliant with footwork and hand choice.
I had a ST through the Nev era. They aren’t comparable, different times and different team. But it’s getting quite ridiculous now what JP does every week. Perfect fit for Everton. Passionate, brilliant, and clearly bonkers. The stars really aligned signing him.
