2025/26 Merlin Röhl

[Only-Blue-toffees]

Happy for Merlin. Is a real shame he hasn’t been given more game time this season but I’m glad it’s happening now and his loan will be permanent he will certainly add to our squad. He’s versatile and we will only get better the more he plays. I can see him being an important player going forward especially when we find the perfect position for him in midfield.

Definitely, hopefully he stays fit

 

[jonnyg]

Probably just him and Garner who come out with any credit today. Kept trying to push the team forward with his runs.

 

[brownmola]

I’ll admit, I am surprised. Playing out of position and has performed very well. Very happy for him and not concerned as much about the fee anymore.

 

[dannyboy]

Done well the last few weeks. Not bad on the ball but it's an area I think he could improve on. Physically so much potential.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Just plays everywhere and looks arsed.

Damning indictment on Moyes that he has not played more.

 

[steven]

Done well - but the fact he’s starting right midfield after we’ve been dying for a proper right winger for years just shows the mess we made of recruitment in the summer.

 

[Cels]

Once again, Merlin Röhl put in a good performance for us.

 

[John Ebbrwool]

I still think he gives the ball away too often, he’s done a few passes that have absolutely baffled me, I’m hoping it’s just a bit of rustiness and nerves.

 

[MACCA75]

Works hard, just not convinced on his technical ability. Plays some awful passes.

Slight upgrade on Doucoure

 

[davek]

Him and Iroegbunam were the only ones who gave a flying one there today.

 

[mahermi1]

Played very well and apart from Garner and KDH the only one's that looked like they had legs.

 

[davek]

Works hard, just not convinced on his technical ability. Plays some awful passes.

Thats because we have no options when he turns and looks up. He panics and makes the wrong decision.

Decent teams have at least two options to pass when they win the ball back. Also, who's close to him when he turns the ball over to gather it? No one usually. Reid and Bracewell would have been made to look terrible in this Everton MF.

We need a MF that hunts in packs.

Agree with this. There's big potential for him in the squad but on the ball he does struggle. Like so many of our players.
