The unpopular opinions thread

[WarringtonBlue]

People who write off footballers at 21, 22 years of age are utter bellsniffs

Also, I am grateful for the Moyes era, but don't miss it one bit. Which by the standards of here is unpopular!

Clive Thomas was right!

Mostly first touch, holding it up, finishing, penalties and link-up play. But if being facecious is your thing then that's fine.

Yakubu in his last year or so with us was bloody awful mate. He was boss when he arrived and that season but soon went off. Let's not be blind.

To be honest, I talk the most sense on these forums (fora?) and I should be listened to a lot more and appreciated accordingly.......

Not sure it is. Depends what you mean by era really - I think most people are very grateful for his excellent first five years here. It was just the treading water and bottling big games in the following half of his time here that people didn't like.

I think mirrallas is our most overrated player. He is always injured and in 95% of games he offers nothing. He might chip in with the odd goal, but I don't think he had a decent game all season.

Also, I actually prefer last years crest. At least it was an attempt at aspiration and forward thinking. The new one sends out the impression that we are obsessed with sentemence and the 80s.

...Leon Osman is a very good footballer; Stephen Naismith is a fine addition to the squad; playing out of position, age or previous injuries are no excuse for under-par performances by Ross Barkley.

Moyes is a far better manager than Martinez is.

Moyes' football is far more exciting and not as negative as the dross Martinez serves up.

Martinez' brand of football is boring, cack, negative, tripe.

Besic is currently way off demanding a first team place for a club with ambitions of finishing in the top half of the Premier League. I doubt he will make it at Everton, and it will be no surprise to see him being sold before he ever holds down a starting place at Everton.

Barkley and Deulofeu are about the same standard of player, neither of them will reach the top as they are just not good enough. I don't think either of them are good enough for Everton either, and we currently have a situation were someone is being picked based on the hype of their name. This needs to stop, and we need to replace Barkley with someone who is actually capable of scoring and creating goals on a regular basis.

Our midfield is utter turd and that's were the game is won or lost, imo. I rate Stones very highly, to the point were I would value him at 50 million pound with a straight face. However I would advocate the sale of Stones, if it meant we could spend 50 million pound on our midfield. 50 million plus all the TV money we have could see us sign the likes of Van Dyke as a cheap replacement for Stones, followed by the signings of ACTUAL QUALITY MIDFIELDERS like Nolito, Cabaye, Konoplyanka and possibly even Milner.

Our midfield really is pathetic, especially from an attacking and creative perspective.

Such a pity, you were doing really well until Milner

Would disagree with that, straight after the injury yeah, but once he started to get himself back to form he looked like his old self until moyes for some reason dropped him and he was never seen again for everton

Garbutt in 3 years time will be twice the player Oviedo is and ever has been

I actually liked Jamie Carragher........

Barkley has the footballing IQ of a dildo

Just snotted everywhere when I read that

In my opinion Ballotelli is a quiet unassuming chap.
