Paddock Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Is that a trick question? I'd like to see us linked with better players. That's all.

Lowensda Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Didn't play well yesterday. Wonder if he 'suits' Koeman's style. Interesting to see how much game time he gets over the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see how much game time he gets over the next few months. Yeah seeing how he didn't even play at CB and holgate gets time there he could be sold in the summer I think. Maybe that's why we were still interested in Kone (who I wouldn't want now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 To be fair he is not a LB He should've been playing alongside Williams, with Oviedo at LB. Matt and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 He should've been playing alongside Williams, with Oviedo at LB. It shows how much he rates Oviedo when he would rather put Mori in at LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 It shows how much he rates Oviedo when he would rather put Mori in at LB I'm glad that he's realised quickly that Oviedo's toilet. Plus if he even does get on the pitch he's like a left back version of Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) If last night tells us anything, it should be that when everyone is fit and on form and available then our first eleven are strong and we need not fear anyone. But last night exposed our lack of strength in depth in certain areas. We need to buy big in January and try to offload a few of the current squad fillers.

badaids Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Funes Mori did okay I though, apart from his last third passing which was astonishingly shit for a, you know, professional footballer.

London Blue Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Mori, Valencia, Lennon and Cleverley were all rusty as all have had so little football. Harsh to judge them on one match. We definitely need reinforcements, quality CB cover, back up striker, genuine play-maker, and left back now Galloway is on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Mori is a centre back. He was played at left back at Reading and West Brom last season and he was particularly shit there. Guess why? Because he's not a left back. He's going to find it tough to get in the team under Koeman but right now I think it's the right decision.

brisbaneblue Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think we will sell Funes Mori in January. And I think we'd get an inflated transfer fee for him too, I'd imagine somewhere between £15-£22 million because it's a winter transfer window. The game against Norwich showed us that Holgate is comfortable deputising at CB and that Funes Mori can't play anywhere except CB. He gets too far up the pitch for my liking and last season he was very wasteful. Sure he bagged a few valuable goals for us, but he's a centre back, it's not his job to score goals - he took more than twice as many shots as Williams or Jagielka did (per 90 minutes of football) with 67.5% of them off target and made less than half their amount of blocks. We could bring in a Williams/Jagielka-style defender for less than a third of the price we could sell him for, a la Curtis Davies or Steve Cook Besides, Funes Mori has his spot in the Argentina staring XI to lose if he isn't playing games at Everton - guys like Deulofeu, Lennon and Oviedo can be a bit more patient and bide their time on the bench because they have nothing to lose at international level - Deulofeu and Lennon because they're nowhere near the national setup, and Oviedo because he's the first picked in that Costa Rican squad regardless if he is playing at club level or not.

StevO Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think he only played him there just to get him on the pitch. Didn't work out, hopefully don't try it again. No point selling Mori though, the big issue is that the squad is short on quality. We need to sell the lesser players and keep the better ones. I'm no big fan of Mori anyway, but he's good enough to be in the squad. We have much worse players who need to be moved on that him.

Mogsy Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 If last night tells us anything, it should be that when everyone is fit and on form and available then our first eleven are strong and we need not fear anyone. But last night exposed our lack of strength in depth in certain areas. We need to buy big in January and try to offload a few of the current squad fillers. Trouble is we had problems attracting players to play in our starting lineup this summer. Players aren't going to be happy just sitting on the sidelines and getting the odd game in a relatively minor cup. We are in a strange position of being able to afford players but not being able to offer a higher standard of football in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Anyone watch stones last night? Shite. His mistakes will go under the carpet now. Mori is the better option. IMO he is nowhere near as good as Stones , but then I rate Stones very highly He is however more than good enough to be back up to Jags and Williams. I think we are lucky to have a 3rd choice CB of his quality Romey 1878, Sibdane, London Blue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are lucky to have a 3rd choice CB of his quality Stones looks a rolls Royce when things turn out for him. Far too much of a space cadet to be a great defender, has a bit of the Yobo's about him.... sounds crazy to say but yeah he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) With a good run in the side, now we have a manager who knows how to defend Mori would be a quality CB. Not as good as Stones, but few will be. Edited September 22, 2016 by London Blue MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Mori has the same flaws but isn't as good i disagree. Mori is way better in the Air and can score goals. They are similar in that they like to bring it out the back and look nice on the ball and they both make brainfarts when defending though.
