I think the only thing I remember about Targett last year was him getting absolute skinned by Iwobi at Goodison, falling on the floor, only for Pope to make a great save from DCL. That’s about it.
All in all, he’s poor. Contract he’s on also stings.
not sure what Gallagher offers. Bit of a headless chicken, who’s got a great engine and runs/presses, but do we need more of that type, or do we need to start shifting towards more technically gifted players, who can unlock defences?
I think the latter
Yeah, no surprise EH looking at different systems. We aren’t a surprise anymore. Teams know our strengths & weaknesses, so we need to evolve. Last year, by nullifying Bruno, we really did struggle.
Was awful, but it’s pre-season. Think Howe will bring him in slowly. For the first PL game, I’d imagine Howe goes with the tried and tested, and Longstaff starts.
