He played well. Not the showing up you may have been expecting But not his goal as you stated, and your right mate not what I expected credit where credits due he played well and hardly gave the ball away, if he can come back and play like that for us then great .

Elston Gunnn Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’m neither a great fan of Gana, nor a harsh critic. For me, he’s an effective disruptor but not a dependable passer or scorer. However, his strange lack of movement on the Colombia goal looked poor to me. I hope someone will look at that goal on highlights and tell me I’m wrong. Gana was on near post and literally did not move as the header by the Colombia player crossed the goaline halfway betwenn him and the goalie. He did not move.

I think it just came too quick for him to respond and really it was in the space of the GK -- I don't think Gana could've done anything about it.

Generally I wasnt impressed as he was pressing and leaving loads of space behind him however I think a lot of that was to do with the teams tactics. Knowing how Gana plays though, it might not be!

He was on the post ready to clear if it came at him; it didn't, happened far too fast for him to react and was the 'keeper's to go for anyway, it was in his zone. If he'd shifted across he'd have potentially impeded his 'keeper and would have looked very stupid had it gone in by the post he was covering.

I want to really believe it wasn't for him to sort but.... I can't. He wasn't even on his feet balanced to react. Yeah keeper is an element of it but not good from gana.

I disagree, he'd have needed the reaction time of Usain Bolt out of the blocks and the foresight of Mystic Meg to get close to it. Yeah he was caught flat footed but that can happen when you have a fraction of a second to react. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headed down as your aleays taught to do. Not a lot goalie or Gana could do. If you have to dish out blame It’s with the defender losing his man.

EFC-Paul Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 He's looked more mobile of late as well getting forward more and playing the simple pass and move game which is clearly another notch on the Silva praise ladder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 The lad is fighting for his place.

You have indeed Bailey and I respect your opinion on him (even if I've not agreed with it); it just confuses me when you can see he had a good game and say it while Pete (and Palfy had he not been at a wedding) can't see beyond their preconceptions, it's like they want him to be bad to prove they're right rather than wanting him to be good for the benefit of the club.

If everyone does there job, Gana can concentrate on his instead of having to run all over to plug holes. And, yeah, competition for places. Never a bad thing. The best will always step up a level.

Baffles me. Haf/Lukaku/elephant/room. Ah hem.... I never let my annoyance of the lads hype, lack of loyalty to us and general poor levels of standard footballing ability get in the way of the fact that he was a very good finisher and athlete. My opinions of him stand up this very day- as showcased today for the mancs where he looks like he's got very cosy and complacent after 1 year. I always want Everton to do well but when you watch a player serve his own interests before the team makes it very difficult indeed to feel complete euphoria. Trying to steal goals off players - not celebrating other players goals, sulking .... fucks me off. The shite about gana is off the scale - what he does do well doesn't even get recognised.
