Schneiderlin might be the most I’ve hated an Everton player whilst they’ve played for Everton. I think I hated him even more because he actually looked really good the first half season he came. Then he played like a cowardly crab the entire rest of his time with us.
Rightly. I know he's made a couple of mistakes but he's a quite good defender when he avoids that. Which largely he does unless you're Zat and you think he's made a mistake for only beating an attacker to the ball by two steps instead of four.
It's because we don't play it. His strength is his positioning. Change that and it messes it all up.
Totally, haven’t disliked a player as much in 35 years supporting. My all time number 1 and that’s up against stiff competition. Mentioning Keane in the same breath, to me, shows irrational dislike, they’re not on the same planet the pair of them. Like you say, Schneids looked good, could have been so much more but was the most cowardly spineless player I’ve ever seen.
It’s mad how some players can make constant mistakes. And yet still be considered the first CB on the team sheet . He’s cost us more than the other 3 in the last 12 months. He’s solid but weak mental and that won’t change.
He's not done. His errors are more visible because of what he's bad at. But someone like Godfrey who can't track players is causing just as many problems but you aren't going to readily see them. Mina would be at the same level but he doesn't play as much. I like Yerry too but he can't properly clear a ball. He finds players at the top of the box every other game. They've all got problems. Keane for me is the one who is steadiest.
It’s a horrible formation to play as a centre back, i hated it when had to play it. Never know who you’re marking, especially if other team play one up front. I don’t think it’s an easy formation to switch to either, if you’re playing it every week you get used to it but not ad hoc when you’ve been more used to playing in a back two.
Mina is stronger, better on ball, better in the Air.
The number of seasons he's played isn't relevant to who is better now. Godfrey makes tons of mistakes but it's not seeing things so he's so far away from the play that you have to really go and look at it to find that he's not doing well.
We know he’s good in a low block and can win headers and clear the ball. But he lost wood on Monday who should have scored, I suppose that was Godfrey’s fault
People do miss them though. My favorite example is the derby win. People went crazy over him but the biggest chance we conceded he was massively out of position for. But no one seemed to really care (it got saved tbf) and I genuinely think it was because he was so far out of the way that you've got to really look hard at it to see what he's done.
Really don’t think there’s much in it between Keane and Mina at all. Don’t know where people have got that he’s head and shoulders out best centre backs.
