Muhamed Besic

Besic looks useful, but the comparison with Gareth Barry does neither of them any good. Besic needs to learn from Barry before he can be seen as a replacement.
Barry is without doubt the most underrated player at Everton, but thankfully the manager can see what many on this forum can't.

Barry would have Besic for breakfast. They are (currently at least) in different leagues in respect of quality and relevance to our team.

Best thing for all concerned would be for Besic to go out on loan in January to a decent Championship team. Let him demonstrate his ability there.

Show me the posts where anybody is saying Barry doesnt deserve to play on current form?

Besic needs games, but hes gonna have to wait for his chance, he has 2 very talented players infront of him.

Are people really coming into here and talking him down?

Don't be under 25 and on the periphery at Everton basically, or the "not good enough" parade will trample you to pieces

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I must say, after seeing @MoutsGoat stick the boot into a number of younger players who never really got a fair shake of the stick, it's good to see him rallying behind one for a change

I'm with you on this one Goat. I love the delicious Bosnian Beast!

You're not going to like this.
I don't like this.

But.

I totally agree. The only way Besic can improve is with games which he isnt going to get at the moment based on the form of McCarthy/Barry.

*Looks for Goat post to disagree with and feel better*

At the Ireland V Bosnia game in the Aviva I saw no Dzeko jerseys... no Pjanic jerseys... every jersey (bar one) that I saw - that had a name on the back - said Besic.

The Bosnian Roy Keane.

 

[Blue Cheese]

I think he's a tidy little player. Hope he gets a chance when fit.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

I just want him to stay fit and smash midfields...

Is that too much to ask?

In my view would be better than Barry and McCarthy if given a fair chance (indeed he was last season when he played). NEA if all the Barry lovers get the pitchforks out.

Its like being wrong is a hobby of yours sometimes.

That's probably your record, onto that one before I'd even finished typing. A+, now shouldn't you be in Geography now or is it afternoon break already?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I still think Besic and McCarthy together could work

Bit of a disaster the one time Martinez tried it like, but I'd like to see it again sometime

Barry will start to tire very soon due to his age. I agree that Besic should start to be seen starting a few games in the next few weeks. Don't listen to individuals that spend half their GOT career defending Timmy Drop Ball.

Agreed, or Besic/Gibson, Besic/Barkley, McCarthy/Barkley with another striker upfront or a proper 10 behind the striker.
