Beth Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 2 hours ago, KaKa said: Rafa will not like or trust Pickford as he is way too erratic and will eventually drop him and that is going to be another stick to beat him with by the media. It's baffling that he barely puts a foot wrong for England but is all over the place at times for Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Pickford was all over the place against Denmark. We’re lucky it didn’t end up costing us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Longstaff, too, is likely to depart on loan. The Times also linked Sean with a move, the swap for Tom Daives I think has been put somewhere as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Signing Willock but jettisoning the Longstaffs. Ah what we like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Rafa probably will get more out of him but Sean's been largely shit since his injury in March '19. Given that was over 2 years ago now I've became more and more convinced that the good run of form he had from January to that March was a purple patch. If we can get a decent price for him I'd think about cashing in tbh. Would keep Matty but Bruce's management of him has been absolutely rancid.

Yorkie Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 They're both rough diamonds but the point is we had two homegrown, ready-made Premier League CMs that cost us nowt, but we'll be giving up on them in favour of dropping 20mill on someone else's homegrown, ready-made Premier League CM, who's just so happened to have a bit of tuition. Purple patch might be right in Sean's case but he was still excellent. There's undoubtedly a useful player in there imo. There's no good reason why we can't have three excellent young CMs in the squad as opposed to one, is the jist of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The sheer and utter dearth of decent coaching (certainly since Jones arrived) is absolutely fucking criminal.

Sima Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Hayden, the Longstaff of old and Willock would be a decent 3 in midfield but as Bruce has the management and technical ability of plankton it'll never come to fruition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 No doubt in my mind Longstaff becomes a player again if Rafa got him, none whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I honestly don’t see anything in him that suggests he could push on and become a useful top-half prem player imo . He lacks physicality, speed and the ball-carrying ability etc. to excel in a midfield 2. Those deficiencies aren’t coachable. He’s also pretty poor in a attacking sense, so doesn’t inspire much confidence in a 3 either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way he'll win that bunch of scouse makems over is by winning every game....with style. As divided a fanbase as we have, most could see that there was a plan, and each game was approached with the intent of getting a win somehow even if it involved sitting back. We could appreciate the multiple titles and trophies over his career....all they see is his words 'Everton is a small club'. Yes sometimes we played absolutely dire stuff under him, but there was always a sense of a plan and a way to move forward...he's basically their Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
