Guest millwallforever Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Stones Honourable mention: Hibbert
Paddock Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Stones Thought Mcgeady was good tonight as well. Nowhere near Stones but wanted to give him a mention because I'm quick enough slating him. Well done Aiden. Edited October 2, 2014 by Paddock Bailey 1

Guest rusty747 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Stones by a country mile but a mention in dispatches for Hibbo. I thought he had a solid game, made some great tackles, dealt with their pace well and even looked dangerous going forward a few times. I do think he could have covered across better for their goal though. But MotM is Stones. We need to double his salary and the length of his contract pronto. Edited October 2, 2014 by rusty747
Paddock Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 He was certainly better second half, first half I thought he was mostly awful. Think that was mostly because we were an absolute none entity going forward for large parts of it. Thought everytime he got the ball he looked dangerous.
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I agree with Paddock with regards to McGeady I think he looked quite useful when we got him on the ball, in fact he was the only Everton player on the pitch who looked capable of creating something. Obviously Stones was MotM though Made up with the result, especially if the other score stays the same but how they were not out of sight is way beyond me. Lucky point but I will take that happily
gethinO Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Stonsey. Our best defender and that RCB is now his. Looked class. Take a point. Poor performance but what the heck, Utd on Sunday!
Newty82 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Stones. Great composure. Great tackles. Fluent on the ball. This guy's gonna be immense.
Newty82 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Stones Thought Mcgeady was good tonight as well. Nowhere near Stones but wanted to give him a mention because I'm quick enough slating him. Well done Aiden. Yep. Was impressed tonight. I don't think we use him enough. He needs to be allowed to run full on at defenders each and every time. No stopping. Just give him it and let him go.
c1982 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Stones - fast becoming our most important player.
StevO Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Stones looked like a young Rio Ferdinand to me last night, the way he was string in the tackle and calm on the ball. Very impressed with him, he needs a partner next to him though.
Cornish Steve Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Yesterday, Hibbert had one vote. Today he has none. How did that happen?
Btay Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Stones for me. Absolute gem Really glad to see McGeady getting some plaudits, we didn't set out to dominate or attack and he really put in on defence. Looked a threat! Hope he continues against untied
MikeO Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 Yesterday, Hibbert had one vote. Today he has none. How did that happen? I hadn't noticed he had one, if he had then the person who voted or him must have deleted it, certainly I've not made any changes and the total vote count adds up correctly.
Aidan Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Roberto said: "John Stones has been in terrific form ever since he played his first friendly in the USA," said Martinez. "Since then he has been growing as a footballer and he is a complete centre-half. "In the modern game you need centre halves who are as good in defensive duties as they are exposing one versus one situations and being good on the ball. "John has gone to the next level this season. He has shown he is ready for any challenge. "Every time he has played for England he has done well and he is growing at club level every game. "John is really well rounded but the focus is on what he can do at Everton - it is not up to me to measure his possibilities with the national team. "He is a leader. He is born with that quality. He has real high standards in everything he does and for a young man he has always got the right approach on a daily basis. "In my eyes he is a potential captain and leader, someone very close to Phil Jagielka and Gareth Barry. "He has a good core to learn from - Jagielka, Sylvain Distin and Antolin Alcaraz and it has been beneficial having Tim Howard behind him. "Clearly in the last few weeks he has earned his place and performances have shown that."

Which revealed to me the option of deleting my vote. Had never spotted that button before.

In many ways, McCarthy is the engine of the team, yet it would seem his personality is not suited to captaincy. Martinez appears to believe that captains are to some extent born that way.
