No Everton Int'l Lost!

Agreed, I think I used the wrong word to be honest. He's not a flashy creative player so to speak, not easy on the eye like an Arteta if you know what I mean.

He just keeps it's simple, takes a touch and keeps the ball moving. That's his game and that's all I expect from him. Some people will expect more obviously but as a defensive midfielder that's what all I want too see from him.

I get the feeling alot of people want him to be a silky skills player because we've paid so much for him, I don't agree. If he plays to his strengths and does what he needs to do he'll be an asset. Physicall not many central midfielders will be able to handle him.

That's all I want really. Its hard finding a DM that can do all that, be comfortable in possession and lay off a pass to the playmakers like a Hargreaves or an Essien -- something Carsely lacked after he bust a nut breaking up the oppositions play.

The fact the lads only 20 he can only improve his all round game.

How did Jacobson look?

Anyone watch his match?

Didn't watch it, but found this in a write up;

"Hungary's Szabolcs Huszti missed the chance of the match when he latched on to Lars Jacobsen's poor backpass but shot straight at Stephan Andersen in the Denmark goal"

Still got the clean-sheet and more minutes played though.

Makelele Did just that and was worth his weight in gold
