    Except when he stays on the ground as play goes on around him and just sends death stares out, or lies clutching a part of his body like he's been shot.

    Or refuses to pass time and time again and holds on to the ball to try and be the superstar. He needs to learn to be a team player. I’m all for players wanting to be the best but the team comes first not his ego.

    He hasn't forgotten me I don't need to say anything about Gana anymore to be brought into the conversation, they all know how I feel about him and he's shown me nothing that will make me change my mind, quite the opposite really his last four games have been between very poor and mediocre, and that is based on marks out of ten from numerous sources and he dodged a bullet through injury on Saturday.

    Let's all be honest about what's happening here we are currently after 17 games 21 points behind the shite already this season, yet on paper we have the best DM in the league what a fucking load of bullshiting bollocks that is, what a fucking record to write home about it's getting us absolutely no where he's holding us back, with him in the team we will struggle to get out of mid table obscurity.

    Not one person here has said we have the best defensive mid in the league- he leads some stats and does his job well. We could have any defensive mid in the world playing there and we’d still be miles behind Liverpool because they are superior in almost every position, both in strength and in depth.

    I agree with you Pad, I just think we need to remember that we were playing City and they are an unbelievable side. The way they move the ball so quickly and accurately, not many teams will get much out of them. I think we can still be positive, Spurs at home is a winnable game and would be a real marker. 

    I was never expecting anything to be honest Ste but I can’t help be disappointed with the goals we conceded, they were awful and I think the 3 cbs contributed massively to that. I l’m not too disheartened just frustrating the way we lost.

    The way Gana breaks up play would make it easier for city as they have the players to exploit him being out of position. 

    Looking at all three goals were would he have helped? 

    Gana tackles and that's it, he doesn't win possession or start an attack, he just puts a foot in and creates a loose ball that could end up exploiting us as Gana has sold himself leaving loads of space to attack. Never seen an Everton team concede clear chances like they do with Gana in the midfield. 

    Sorry Pete but you’re wrong on this. Sigguardson was anonymous and it’s no coincidence Gomes had his worst game as he was missing his partner in crime. First goal is exactly where Gana would be to put a tackle in before he slides in Jesus.

    Don't see how you can blame him for the first goal. That's purely down to the shit tactic for the keeper to play it short outwide which leaves a huge gap in midfield to be exploited if you lose possession. Doubt many teams will use that tactic at the etihad this season. 

    Not blame him? He’s a professional footballer and kicked it aimlessly to one of their players 30 yards from our goal then never bothered his arse getting out for the offside. It was fucking shocking. Basic stuff, hoof it for a throw, up the line, put his laces through it and put it past half way, he looked like he just kicked it without thinking.

    Wouldn't be the first time. :)

    If you had sufficient funds to either sign Gomes or spend on another striker, which would it be? These are the types of decisions we have to take, because budget is not infinite. I'd say sign Gomes and take the risk on two of the brightest young striker prospects in sight (viz. Henry and DC-L). Sure, it may not work out, but this is the trade-off I'd make.

    They are not 2 of the brightest young prospects about Steve, that’s the whole point. Offload Schneiderlin, Bolasie, Niasse, Tosun and a couple of others pay the money for Gomez and buy a top class striker otherwise we stay with the also rans- No doubt about it.
