He's looked good against lots of teams this season. Do you vote Reform by any chance?

What kind of response is that?!

He’s played well against a couple of good sides granted but I don’t think he’s crazy in saying the Burnley midfield is about his level currently (and I actually quite like Tim and can see the potential, he has too many 5/10s at the moment though still).
 

I’d really like to see what a different manager could do with him. He’s getting through a ton of defensive work and has some of the attributes you’d like in someone who could be an all around player in midfield. He also doesn’t really look to know what he’s meant to be doing a lot of the time.
 

I think he's doing well, his stamina was a big issue and that seems to be addressed, he is physically very strong (much stronger than anyone else we have in the middle) he is comfortable on the ball, very good in the tackle and I actually love his drives forward.

He is going to lose the ball at times when he drives forward, that will never bother me because that is a part of football, he needs to work on his decision making but I think that happens with time and minutes.

I'll be honest maybe I'm wrong but I definitely see a future with him playing for us, will he ever be a top top player? I don't know, but I think he is definitely a premier league player and someone I want in and around our team, If the eventual aim is Europe you need players like him in your squad.

I think he has better natural talent and core traits than James garner I would just like him to kick on as he is doing.
 
I really think there’s a player in Tim, playing more regular will defo help, I don’t know why so many are quick to shoot him down, he offers a lot more than what Onana ever did.

It's due to an affliction called 'Evertonianitis', brought on over several decades by an over use of the pessimism gland. I suffer from it, but have found some good breathing techniques to help in the more difficult moments, such as match days.

Impressive growth game on game, but we’ll have to see how he will be in games where we have the ball. Happy to eat my words if he turns it around but he’s still upper championship.

Personally think he still lacks the concentration/awareness but maybe it gets better, that’s the hope at least

Jesus Christ. He’s so obviously a premier league player and potentially a top end one there can be only one reason for your opinion.
