    Never heard of him. So did the mandatory video search.
    I like how strong and athletic he looks. A lot of his tackles come from standing strong and nicking the ball away at just the right time. Seems to have a good run on him, and passing range. Only clips though, so....
    If he does the job, then we've had a belter with selling Gana, at 30 year old, and replacing him for a guy who is 23 and slightly less cost.

    Yep. Absolutely agree.
    Point I'm trying to make is that we rant about these things, but generally...generally...only generally guys, read in context...when said player is doing the business for your club, it's not quite so bad. Diego Costa. Arsehole. Bang in 20 - 30 goals for your club. Hmmmm. Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Arsehole. Bang in 20 - 30 goals for your club. Hmmm.
    'Serves a purpose...' was wrong phase to use. But, most...not all, most...find a bit more forgiveness when said player is doing the business for your club. If they're shit, well, unforgivable full stop. Football fans, isn't it?!

    I do feel Zaha has recently been given the rough end of the stick with referees as he’s continually getting getting hacked at and doesn’t get any protection. Saying that it’s probably by his own making from his theatrical displays in the past.

    It never serves a purpose and is always a blight on the game.  Players should be, rightly, heckled and punished for doing so, the soft-ass primadonnas...

    I'm a Walcott fan but he was indifferent at best for the second half of last season, and Tosun is not a premier league striker, at least not playing upfront alone.
    Silva solved the defensive crises that most people thought would cost him his job, he got us playing attractive football, he made Goodison a fortress again, and we beat the top 6 teams we have capitulated so to easily before. 
    Silva reminds me of Morinho, before he went mad, he has the ability to lead us to greatness.
    Lastly he is part of the team, along with Brands that has been put in place, he deserves a season at least.

    So when Mourinho does it thats fine because its the players yet when Silva does its because of the "system"? Then when other managers deflect its to protect the club and yet Silva does it to protect himself? Hmmm...
    Before Silva joined there were several interviews on SSN of ex players praising Silva. He is known as a brilliant man manager, its why people signed for him, its why we turned it round last season when they capitulated in similar circumstances for Martinez and Koeman.
    Quote all the stats you like but you are using them to mask their true inpact on the team. Walcott was crap bar those first 3 games and Tosun, which is well established that Walsh scouted and signed, did Ok with fuck all service but hasnt kicked on from that. How on earth you can say Allardyce's got the best out of Tosun when he was isolated all game every game is beyond ridiculous. 
    Just to add to the effectiveness of Tosun under Allardyce / Silva. In the Premier League Tosun played approx 90 mins more for Silva than Allardyce but managed 18 more shots, 9 more on target. So in getting the best out of Tosun was Allardyce planning on him having less shots? Furthermore Tosun bagged 3 assists under Silva compared to none under Allardyce, making his total involvement in goals to 6 v 5 for Allardyce. Im not saying that this categorically means Silva got the best out of him but it strongly suggests that Allardyce did as well as you are making out.

    Thinking about this from Juve's perspective it does make a lot of sense. No matter how good he is he's gonna struggle for minutes with who else they have up top. So they let him go to a good club and the world's best league where he will play. Of course they'd like to get a buyback clause inserted but if it's not possible then the "right of first refusal" is a decent option. Normally it wouldn't mean much but since he was a youth player for them and is Italian they give themselves a good chance to get him back if he becomes a world beater and (in their minds) outgrows Everton.

    Dont forget that both Brands and Silva were new to the club last year and probably hadnt seen much of him prior to coming here. The game is filled with players who flash their brilliance but spend 90% of the time being mediocre or worse and dont fancy putting it in on the training ground. Just look at some of the lads we have had... Drenthe, Van der Mayde, McGeady...
