Hope Tim Vickery walks in on him slotting his wife.

FUNES FUNES FUNES

Great today, didn't miss Stones as much as i feared we would. Him and Galloway were both fantastic.

 

[FTY]

We're gonna have an unreal defence in a couple of years

 

[Dutch Toffee]

He looks like a very capable player. Overall our defence is looking mouth watering tbh. So much quality and strength in depth in that department

 

[chicoazul]

Very good game from him in a tough environment. Dominant in the air and a couple of really important challenges, not just the one at the end but also in the first half when he stopped Ings with Sturridge completely free.

He will benefit from the day.

 

[The Equaliser]

Was a bit worried about him starting his first home league game in one of such high importance but he looked assured. He will provide an excellent back-up to the Jags/Stones CB partnership.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We are DEEP at CB. Hopefully Garbutt becomes the next Baines and we find our next Coleman. Fantastic wingback play has been an Everton trademark the past decade and hopefully that legacy will live on.

 

[blulouie]

This lad was fantastic today , very important tackles, won every header & passing was assured. Looks a player.

But some arsehole with a laptop who blogs from Buenos Aires said he's rubbish.

He blogs from Rio the charlatan

He blogs from Rio the charlatan

Even worse. He doesn't even live near River Plate FFS!

 

[Mrk]

He was absolutely excellent.

 

[The Esk]

The words of Tim Vickery, so called expert on South American football:

"I don't rate him at all. I don't think he is quick enough, strong enough or has enough quality [for the Premier League]. I fear that he would be badly exposed. Not one for me."

Early days, but Tim this is not what we are seeing.

 

[Joey66]

A sound game today, wins the ball in the air too!

 

[Saint Domingo]

Hopefully this puts to bed some of the ridiculous prejudice that came his way before he'd even kicked a ball for us purely because he was from the Argentinian league. He was a full international for Argentina yet some were referring to him as a pub player. Commanding in the air, composed on the ball, quick on the deck, had Sturridge in his pocket. Long term partner to Stones right here with the minimum of fuss. Took him all of 45 mins against WBA to get to the pace of the prem.
