Shukes Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think if Gomez comes good, he could replace him. But that’s no slight on Gana. He could replace many premier players. Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Gomes will come into the Davies spot. I’d also expect Cenk to come on for Gomes/Siggy with siggy dropping deeper or Bernard into CAM. really hoping Gomes is the player I think he’s going to be. If that second midfielder next to Gana can also be a goal scoring midfielder, we will be an absolute force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gethinO Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 What a player he is. Was immense today I thought. Learned his lesson from Leicester and took one for the team in bringing Zaha down and getting his booking. Yes, he has weaknesses to his game but his strenghts are things he does brilliantly. Playing Gomes today meant for the first time in his Everton career he had someone next to him who is technically very good. Meant he could actually focus on his strengths which are his pressing and tackling and then giving it simply. He’s not the best passer at the club by a long way, but with Gomes next to him it took some pressure off his passing game and meant he was able to give it simply. Doing what he does for the team, there’s not much better. markjazzbassist and plaidharper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Really good. He just manages to get close to the man on the ball very quickly and forces the quick pass instead of allowing them to pick one out. Most of the time he actually gets a tackle in. His fitness levels are insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 As I said above, the role he plays, there’s not much better out there. For me it was always a case of finding Gana a better footballer next to him rather than finding one to replace him. Hopefully Gomes will be the one. Gana offers so much to the team. Great player. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 He switched off again and very easily could've cost us a goal. He covered for Coleman slotting in at right back but looked completely lost, genuinely never seen a football player with so little positional sense in my life. Palace played very little through the middle so Gana and Gomes were largely untroubled in the defensive side, most the balls were over their head or to the wing. When Palace went forward it was rare they committed players, they had come for a draw. Saying Gana was great yesterday is like praising the Keeper when they've not had a save to make.

Popular Post Aidan Posted October 22, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 More tackles and more interceptions than anyone else on the pitch, despite us having more of the ball. Made more passes than anyone on the field and only Cenk had a better accuracy (only played 10 minutes). His job isn'tt to position himself correctly, his job is to press the ball and win it back as quick as possible, which he is one of the best in the world at. If he is so bad then why has he been first choice for the last 4 managers we've had? I can't understand this constant bashing of the poor lad! nyblue23, Vranny, Hafnia and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy day in the office. If he's out of position, how is he top on the stats for getting the ball back / breaking up play? Since that's his job, I'd say the facts prove his positional awareness to be very good - you can't tackle if you're not near the ball!

Palace never attacked and he even still had a brain fart. He'd never see the pitch under a manager like Mourinho. The only thing he's good at is running. As for the interceptions how many times does that then lead to the ball falling back to the opposition? How many times is he caught out because he's gone chasing and ended up the wrong side? Seriously any coach would be shouting stay goalside at a child if they played like Gana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not blindly give the ball away in our half? Did he look lost when filling in at right back? In general is there anyone positionally worse than him? I couldn't name a single one. Did Palace give him much to do defensively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
