Hafnia Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Exactly what Naismith used to do only at the minute not as good imo. Well not anywhere near 5 million more. I loved Naismith... really really did but ultimately his athleticism was his short fall. Very clever underrated player. This lad looks to have a bit of speed about him.

Btay Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Keep giving him time and see what happens. Few decent touches although I only managed to catch the 20 min highlights. From what I saw he works the channel and has already made more tackles than Rom. Both Ross's chances first half came from him so there are some positives.

Matt Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm not writing him off yet, yesterday gave me hope.not sure many were writing him off, more pointing out that in his first few cameos were shite and this lack of appearances were starting to worry people. Missed the game yesterday but it's encouraging reading rhe reactions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 He needs to play in a 4-4-2 as the guy picking up second balls and knock downs. Either that or have somebody playing closer to him. On the couple of occasions Barkley got closer to him yesterday he looked more comfortable. He will also thrive more in a longer ball game than with our current system. He needs to be given a chance but our current system (because we do only have the one) doesn't suit him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Well we've won every game he's started! Not a bad stat? chicagoblue, duncanmckenzieismagic, MikeO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'm still writing him off. I thought he offered very little and I didn't think anyone trusted him enough to give him the ball, especially Barkley. If we could get half of the money back for him I'd take it. We have kids coming through who are already better players than him. To lose Naismith for this lad should be a sacking all on its own.

Cornish Steve Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Couldn't believe they took him off for Rom... Rom would benefit immensely from this lad. I think he could do a job on the flanks to close out a game on a team with dangerous wing backs/wingers. Fitness level. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Missed the match today and didn't see him on the highlights. Anyone able to give me a report on how he did today? Not looking to slate him, just an honest and objective report. He did well the last match and I'm hoping he showed a little more this time.

Not looking to slate him, just an honest and objective report. He did well the last match and I'm hoping he showed a little more this time. I couldn't watch consistently, our play too awful. When I was watching, he gave the ball away a couple of times, passes didn't click. If he did much of any good, maybe someone else can comment. Have to wait until next season, I suppose.

markjazzbassist Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Thanks Mike and elston, at this point I think he just needs a proper preseason and we'll see what he's made of. Still holding out hope he turns out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith B Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I almost don't think any player can be objectively evaluated at this point because they've clearly quit on the manager. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I only saw the first half yesterday. From that and the Bournemouth game, I thought he was equally clueless in both. Worried about this lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 We can't just dump a player we've spent 13.5mill on!!! I don't think we would anyway. Gibbo got done for drink driving, knocked a cyclist off his bike in the process, and didn't seem to be 'punished' in any such way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all lets wait to see if he is convicted if he is then action needs to be taken, until then he is innocent. If he is convicted and its domestic violence then the club have to take action, clubs have to take a stand to say that this is not acceptable and we will take action against any employee, especially a "Role model" who is convicted of such an offence. If you look at whats happening in American Football, players ther are sacked for being convicted of domestic violence.

Danny Simpson at Leicester is currently doing community hours for throttling his now ex missus. Been doing it for ages. Football clubs don't tend to do much in terms of punishment when players do wrong in their private lives. And I think that's right. The courts decide the punishment not the clubs.

Football clubs don't tend to do much in terms of punishment when players do wrong in their private lives. And I think that's right. The courts decide the punishment not the clubs. While its right that the legal system decides on who is guilty and the punishment for those crimes, society in general has a role to play in making these crimes become unacceptable. Players are role models and clubs have to show their fans and the communities that they will not tolerate their staff committing these offenses. This then re-enforces the courts decision. It is also Everton demonstrating that they do not wish to be associated with people who are convicted of domestic violence offenses. Lastly if he is convicted he would be bringing the club into disrepute, a sack-able offense in many companies.
