    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.

    Well one pass does make it a fact really. If he wasn’t capable of it, he wouldn’t be able to make it.
    But in a five minute highlight video he made one pass that resulted in a goal. We only scored two goals in the whole match. But that video also shows that Ganas one pass, is more than 75% of the team.
    But as you actually watched the match... you also know full well that he made several forward passes that started attacking moves. 
    Again, just because you choose to ignore it, doesnt make you right. People saw with their own eyes that he was involved a lot in their final third. Telling them it didn’t happen is.... well I think you know 😉
    Edit: just watched the highlights again, a saw him also shoot.... only once, and it was saved.but also noticed he was only one of three to shoot in that video.... which means everyone else should be sold as no ones capable..... the mind boggles haha

    I think it's fair enough to be critical but it's a different level to constantly lambast and blame.
    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.

    The lad is fighting for his place. He’s heard Marco talking about playing Morgan in there on his own, he’s showing he needs to be in there. More players fighting for their place the better.

    Our Pete does tend to argue that black is white, so it kind of makes sense that he may get it mixed up.

    With the way he is being asked to play, I doubt he'll be a 20 goals a season striker BUT, if his performances keep on, he's going to prove valuable in helping the team score more.
    He keeps the defenders busy and seems to either look to hold up the ball or go out wide to receive the ball...both seem to allow our other attacking players more space centrally.
    Really working his arse off for the team at the moment.

    Strange how you play a talented player in his natural position and he starts performing much better.
    So bizarre eh.

    Wasn’t it his forward ball that set up Walcott down the line that got us our second goal?
    He has it in his locker obviously, as it was his ball. That’s fact. You choose not to see it, but he plays forward balls all the time, linking defence and attack.
    Just so we’re clear, Gana is the black one, Morgan is the other.

    Pete, nope. 
    Mark, yep. 
    Last season there was a tactical thing on Soccer AM showing how the press works. The forward (or central) players are only pressing to push the ball out wide, so the wingers can attempt to win the ball. With players like Walcott and Richalison out wide we could do really well with this. Gylfi and Tosun just need to apply a little pressure, which they both did extremely well today and will have the bruises to show it.

    Mario (  ) Silva once again showing how inept Lardiola is. Almost the same players as fat head had available and yet we’ve gone from playing dour, negative, play not to lose football, to positive, quick, attacking football. 
    Its not been perfect by any means, but it just goes to show what a difference the manager can make to players.

    Good performance overall.

    Got that exact same feeling.
    I just hope it is what it promises to be. If it is...Goodison will be rocking.

    I feel like a little kid again I'm that excited to watch us play again. Didn't think I'd be saying that after the torture of last season, but I cannot wait to get to Goodison Park.
