I think you're correct.At this stage he needs every excuse he can get
I’ve been following Everton since 1967 and he is genuinely the worst Centre Foreard I have seen play for us
No effort , no commitment, no desire , can’t /won’t tackle , can’t run , no ability with the ball at his feet , doesn’t trouble or worry defenders
At this stage I’d gladly give his locker to Naisse who at least looked interested
Hell I'd even have Stuart Barlow ahead of this guy.
And the Benitez fan club say that he can spot a good player.
