The College Dropout

Willing to give him time but let's be honest.... he looks.. bad at defending.

LB, CB, CM i'd have him somewhere starting.

He looks a professional football in terms of general skill/ability. But in practice, defending, attacking, his pap. Defending is absolutely awful. Ineffective in attack.

Btw watford looked a canny team.

Would say Barcelona is even more "touristy" than anything in the PL. Think Man U and certainly Liverpool would sell out their stadiums every week without tourists. Barca wouldn't. Saw them against Valencia a few years back, 80% full tops.

Been awful for some time now

Does he look a good defender? Someone that senses danger and stops it from developing?

Re transfers: everyone bough in the Champo was meant to get us promoted. The PL is another beast entirely. Lejeune has done nothing to suggest he’s a good signing. Looks a bad one for now imo.

It’s early days but I expected better.

Lascelles and Merino are crucial to this team. Might also need to play 5 in midfield to compete.

Rafa’s bought in Gamez, Manquillo and Lazaar. Dummett is better than them fwiw Aye he seems to prefer Joselu over Mitro which is baffling. Likewise Elliot’s seen off a couple competitors which says more about them than it does Rob.

Someone said he was more effective than Zaha.

Don’t rate him much but if you figure Mbemba could do a better job than some incumbents in a couple positions.

Janmaat on the bench. Totally forgot he existed.

Thinking about Everton’s investors. Complete jokers so far.

If he was defensively so bad Rafa wouldn’t play him. He’s had a fair bit of competition and Rafa has had him as #1

Nigerian future looks bright. Ghana on the other hand.... we had some glory years and won nowt.

this made me chuckle because it’s true. It’s a horrible stadium. Too big.

Would Rodgers come back to the PL? Worth a shout better than what's being touted.

That’s got to go imo. Any new owner will want rid.

His problem is he actually can’t organise a defence - which is why he’s so defensive. I think a big part of his early success with us and Palace was down to taking over teams put together by Hughton and Pulis. This would be his second Pulis team.

Aye it was Clark. Lejeune playing him onside.

Niasse dived and I hope he gets his suspension upheld. We’ll see far less diving or better dives as a result.

History would suggest he’ll do okay for the season. Possibly the next. Then it will all fall down.

Lerner went from a good owner to worse then Ashley. It can happen.
