Leadership (consoling Son) Poll

[chrismpw]

Why does every action people take these days need either over the top praise from the mob or vilification?

Get a grip people they're just footballers helping sky collect the nations cash for itself and its entertainers.

Time and a place for everything. Some things should be private other thing should be public... And if Everton FC really do want the 12th player (fan) they are going to need to be more mindful, sirens and blue flags (which are trip hazard), don't make a fully supportive home crowd.

As posted above, a completely biased and loaded "poll" worthy of some of the nastiest tabloids.

Pathetic and typical.

I think Sunday showed we have only one real leader in this group. He plays at left back and his name is LUCAS DIGNE. I thought Tosun was good too, he stayed with Gomes when a lot of the other players didnt/couldnt and christ he showed some passion with the goal. It was refreshing to see that from Everton players tbh.

We let it happen to ourselves by being too polite, we've got this self made image of being the peoples club which is noble and im sure every blue is proud of what we do in the community but can it really carry over the white line? I think we are just too nice on the field but Silva has to set the standard, he just quietly sulks, scratches his face and gets on with it when something goes wrong. The top managers wouldnt, not a chance Ferguson, Wenger , Mourinho, Guardiola, Klopp etc would take it. Poch quickly out in the media defending Son, a clear message coming from spurs that it didnt warrant a red card. Everton say nothing. Red card gets overturned. Not as simple as that of course but we dont half make it easy.

I don't think we need a poll on this. What Coleman did was a good thing.

Anyone remember Cahill's reaction to a West Brom player blatantly pole axing Arteta (and going unpunished)?

Snide. That is all.

No issues with what he did in private after the game. Hes a grown man and can make his own decisions.

But none of our players should have been sympathising with Son on the pitch. Hed just deliberately done one of our players. Only Digne had the guts to get in his face and have a go.

I don’t even think Digne is a natural leader either. I genuinely think we need to go out and buy one. There’s not one person in the squad that is vocal, gets in the refs ear and holds players accountable. Phil Neville (despite lacking other qualities...) I believe was the last real example of someone who had that voice.

We really are meek when it comes to certain situations. Giving Davies the armband isn’t the answer. Neither is sigs. I think we need to identify a Vincent kompany style character and go get him.

Digne is my captain now

Why was our initial reaction to the injury to go over and console the bloke who caused it? What kind of mentality is instilled into these players?

Where’s the not arsed vote?

Initial means first, the first thing Coleman did was get the medical team alerted to help Gomes, that was his priority and that was what he did.

He then tried to calm down a hysterical player who was only going to add to an already tense situation.

If we are discussing mentality, why has this so quickly developed into a chance for us to criticise our own players? Why not foster a siege mentality and get behind them? Wouldn't that be a winning mentality?

Unless we’re talking about 2 different incidents that was arteta reacting to baines being pole axed. I think he was angry that we didn’t get a pen more than anything. He chased the West Brom player, hacked him down, got sent off, and we lost 4-1 at home. We defo need more of that because it clearly helped us so much.

Tell you what, if somebody breaks my mates leg right in front of me, as a person who has in the recent past suffered a terrible leg break, and the media and whatever haven't got involved and I'm just going on whats in front of me.. I'm going to react however I think best not how a bunch of tough guys on the internet think I should.

Also, Coleman was the one taking charge of the situation when the referee and his assistant were stood around looking queasy. He was the one screaming at the medical staff to get over to him, he was the one walking round our players asking if they were ok.

Good post. Doesn't fit the narrative though mate.

 

[RomanReigns]

Coleman wasn’t even playing

For all you know he didn’t see what happened and was warming up on the sideline and the incident happened near to him.

Also Coleman has been vociferous in the past when a bad tackle has been made, he’s even lost his temper on the pitch a few times and all the lids on here have praised him for it.

It’s absolute hypocrisy this whole situation
