2020/21 Marcel Brands

[Nymzee]

Needs to be targeting players with pace and power. Godfrey Doucoure and Nkonkou are steps in the right direction. Sunday showed that it doesn’t matter how good your players are, if you’re not quick enough to recover the ball then you can’t get possession .

There’s pace and then there’s just a general lack of fitness/sharpness our players never had.

There’s pace and then there’s just a general lack of fitness/sharpness our players never had.

Davies and Sigurdsson can be as fit or sharp as they like but they’ll never be able to compete with top 6 midfields because all of them have the pace and power to run all over them. When you add slow players like Bernard, Tosun, Keane, Kenny around them then it adds to a team that cannot sd anything but sit deep. It can’t hit on the counter, it can’t press effectively, it can’t break teams down on the rare occasion it’s in possession.

The only player without pace in our team good enough to indulge is James. Anyone else though can’t be carried. We can’t afford to be playing any of the names above on a regular basis and we definitely can’t play multiple combinations of them together.

If you go through the lineups of Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, United, City. They don’t carry slow players. They pay the money to get pace and power all over the pitch, especially Liverpool. Wijnaldum. Henderson, Keita, Fabinho, Thiago. They all are strong and rapid. So are the full backs, and the front three, and the centrebacks. When one is injured a player of a very similar profile takes their place. When we take Doucoure off we bring on Sigurdsson or Davies and completely lose control of the midfield, the drop is huge. If we lose Richarlison it’s Bernard coming on. If DCL goes its Tosun. In each scenario we’re losing pace and power and replacing them with slow weak players. We can’t survive in the modern prem with those types of players anymore.

Fortunately recent recruitment of Doucoure Nkonkou Godfrey Branthwaite all seem to have the necessary pace and physical profile to play at the top level.

There`s that much stuff to vault, it`s hard to know where to start tbh.

I am waiting for the opening day of our stadium
I will have at least 50 pages of quotes to unleash
It will be a storm that can only be likened to my ex wife having a go at me after a weekend on the lash

The only good thing DBB has done was to take that lot down a peg or two over their Big Bollocks Project.

DBB is well respected in the football and business world
However resect is not a commodity you are well versed in ,from either side of the coin

 

[Brisan123]

Does the fact that we still haven't agreed a new deal with him indicate that we're not really that happy with him? Seems odd that we'd leave it so late if we wanted to keep him

I am not sure board members need a contract
If they do the Blue Bill must have a lifetime contract

 

[Brisan123]

I thought the agenda was;

Brands;
All the poor signings

AncelottI;
All the good signings

Not sure where you got that idea from

 

[Brisan123]

Liverpool, have one.
City, have one.

You missed that sarcasm in the OP

Just wait until Brands signs that new contract.

What a day of fun that will be lol

 

[Brisan123]

Im sure there's a way of calculating Brands' worth that arrives at the conclusion that it's break even with him. However, is that all we looked to do with his appointment?

He hasn't boosted the club one bit. It's taken a manager with contacts to class players to transform us. THAT is the cold hard reality of the situation.

Brands leaving would not have an impact on Everton. That's the truth of the matter. Major decisions on players and coaches are taken over his head.

Usmanov: Hey Mosh tell Marcel I have got Carlo as our new manager
Mosh :Hey Marcel the boss has got Carlo as our new manager
Marcel : Mosh tell the boss CARLO is too old and past it






Nah dont see it

She's CEO because Moshiri wants a popular figurehead he can easily bypass and use his and Usmanov's puppet Ryazantsev to control their asset.

We need neither of these two characters. We do need an industry expert that can wed the interests of the club's commercial department with the football side of things.

Cheers pal you're only 4 days late to the party.

 

[Brisan123]

He should have given RM the cash he gave to Koeman. The daft carpetbagger.

Why so he could sign
Kone v2
McGeady v2
Alcaraz v2
Naisse v2
Jindrich Stanek, v2
Leandro Rodriguez v2
Sam Byrne v2
Cleverly V2
Besic v2
Funes Mori v2
Sambou v2
Henen V2
I will give him Lukaku (although he was not the original target )
Barry well known
One lung ,good on his day
