Walcott and Tosun were both January signings in 2018, Walsh didn’t go until the following summer so they are nothing to do with Brands Also tbf I think everyone was highly delighted when we signed Gomes and Bernard, and most saw the Delph signing as a Gareth Barry 2.0 so for me the only bad one was Iwobi who was a poor panic buy

This is one of my gripes about us not taking the League Cup seriously , albeit there were mitigating circumstances this year We do it every season, put out a shite team then get tonked and thereby either lose momentum or add unnecessary pressure on the side depending how we happen to be doing that particular season

I think they just need a ball winner alongside them, well Gomes anyway he was superb when we had Gueye alongside him The issue is neither are capable of stamping their authority on the game so when you put them together it’s a recipe for disaster as we’ve seen

So this means we are now down to a 23 man squad until at least January, deep joy

Now that’s a fair argument!

IMO Phil Neville was far more effective than these two when they are played together I also said there were many worse players individually so you would need to give me a specific example of any pairing you are referring to

I’ve been watching Everton home and away for the best part of 50 years and while there have been plenty of worse players individually than either Davies or Gomes I genuinely can’t think of a worse pairing

Given another opportunity to show what he has got tonight and he completely blew it again I really wanted him to make it in an Everton shirt but it’s not looking good at the moment. Playing against lower league opposition he should have taken the game by the scruff of the neck and dictated play but his only impact on the game was missing the decisive penalty Surely this is the last time we ever see Gomes and Davies starting together for Everton? They’ve got to be the weakest CM pairing we’ve ever had in the history of the club
