2024/25 Orel Mangala

[Milkman]

Bummer. He was a solid 7/10 every week. Good time for Garner and Tim to be coming back at least.

More like a 6 for me but in a bad team still solid.

 

[Del-boy]

And we tried to get him to stay on the pitch. We did the same with Bolasie when he had the same injury..

Gutted for him, he has been a good addition, good luck Orel

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

However you rated him, he must be gutted. Probably saw the chance of signing for a club on the up (if they reduced the price). Would have got plenty minutes next year due to the size of the overhaul, it sounds like he’ll get shipped back to a club that were happy to let him go. When he recovers, he’ll have to start the process again, but probably with his sites set much lower.

Yes yes, am sure he sleeps in diamond encrusted jamas, but sad for him.

Tidy little player. Have to say I’m devastated the way it’s ended. Gana and Mangala was a solid partnership.

Time for Garner and Iroegbunam to step in..

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Good Garner is back. When did Tim last play, October?

Need another CM in. Mangala wasn't spectacular but he was solid alongside Gana so he will be a miss for many of the remaining fixtures.

Think Tim's been out longer than that but might be wrong.

Thought he was just about the only bright spark from our first few games myself, look forward to see how Moyes plays him.

 

[EFCPaul]

Gutted, I really like him and hoped we could get him permanently in the summer. Not now though, those injuries can ruin a player forever more (or at least take ages to come back from). We HAVE to renew Gueye for another year now.

 

[Vaughan]

upset me that, really was looking solid and it’s a real shame for him.

also means so much more game time for doucoure

 

[RomanReigns]

Explains why we signed Charlie Adam

He should be a like for like replacement

 

[Zezti]

Aw that's crap for the lad. Appreciated his game even if it often wasn't the most eye catching.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Knee ligaments or ACL? Either way he's very sadly done for the foreseeable. We'll notice him when we miss him. Not the most mobile but was actually pretty good at getting the ball moving forwards. Capable passer, and you don't have to hare about like Gana when you can make the ball do the running.

What a kick in the shorts, for him and us.

 

[Curtis]

When I watched the wolves game at Goodison for the first time and thought we were going to get battered after the previous no goal month and he was exceptional that game at least in my opinion, I was so impressed I bought a Mangala kit lol, I thought he's been a really steady and reliable presence usually composed on the ball , had decent technical skills. Hope he recovers swift and I'll have my kit to remember those 19 games he played for everton in a brief stint

 

[ToffeeBlues]

Shame. Was a sound player for us and consistently gave you a performance that you weren’t disappointed in. Had a good partnership going with Idrissa Gueye too. Doubt we’ll sign another Midfielder to replace and just do with Docuoure/ Garner, Iroegbunam and probably Armstrong

 

[Blue83]

St Virg walked off the pitch and he died

It's important to clarify the timing of events of the worst day in human history so people don't get confused thinking he walked off the pitch and then died, when he died at the feet of Pickford and then walked off the pitch a ghost of his former self
