I thought he showed signs of settling before his injury and people seem to have wrote him off after featuring in like 3 games this season despite spending a year out of action. I respect peoples opinion, but I see it as very harsh, give the lad the rest of the season and see where he is at then. In my view, He is far better than Lookman and Vlasic who people on here seem to massively over rate. I don't think Lookman and Vlasic are better right now. I just think Bolasie is a 28-year old winger who has shown flashes of skill throughout his 6ish years in the PL, but has never really put it together. The other two are 20 years old and need PL experience to get better, and I'd rather them get that experience than see Bolasie continue to frustrate by being almost good enough.

Keane is a fraud . Harsh on Keane. I think he'll come good for us, but hasn't really had a chance to settle under either manager.

nyblue23 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 5 hours ago, Bill said: Only thing wrong with your team is the back four, Coleman won't be the same player when he comes back, and will have a hard job removing Kenny. Keane will get in before Williams, and we might have to buy a RB to replacece Baines, other than that I like the rest. It's all about opinions and I've given you mine. ^_^ I like Kenny but I'm hoping Coleman has a couple more good years in his leg. I don't want Kenny going anywhere, though. He'll be good cover on either side and I think will benefit from playing behind Coleman for a year or two. I also think Keane will be the better option eventually, but Holgate and Williams seem to work well together for now. And as much as I love Baines, I am hoping we replace him with someone a little quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Burnley he was in a tight, compact defense with a midfield in front of him that was geared towards protecting the goal and launching counter attacks. At Everton we are expected to play the ball out a bit more and generally have more possession of the ball (not that it has been happening mind). Keane doesn't really look like the kind of player that can play it out from the back and cover the wider areas when the full backs go forward. For the price we paid we've been mugged off. Keane is a yard dog defender but comes across as a poodle. We'll see. I just don't think we've had a clearly defined system all season, and it's manifested itself with pretty much all of our CBs being pretty shit.

I’d rather he took the rest of the season getting properly fit, then game time in preseason to get match fit, because he’s nowhere near either at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit it’s first time I’ve seen it played back and I thought he am further with the ball ,just remember him powering past the defender and throwing him out of the way. Obviously Lookman played a major part in it but still think it’s Bolasie power that starts move off Either way I still think he had a blinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 we know there is money to spend, so that shouldn't be it. and even if it was they could easily offload klaassen or someone else and cover the costs associated with bringing in a left back. how walsh and sam are ok with martina and no one at LB is mind boggling.

Shukes Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 The thing is, they look at it differently than us. He does an ok job there. Our bigger problems lie elsewhere. scoring goals. Our creativity is shocking. You can have the meanest defence in existence, but if you don’t score you don’t win. left midfield. Our left side struggles due to not having the right partner in midfield. Fix this and we have Garbett, Baines and Cuco. We also have youth players starting to set up.

Matt Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'd happily give Klaassen a run - after we've secured the points. I understand why people are saying this, but considering he didn't get a chance to integrate and adapt to the league, plus he must be far from match-fit now, I think it'd be worse for him and us if we started him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogs Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 The best place for an Everton player right now is out the squad - if you're not getting picked, suddenly everyone is clamouring for you to be included! I'd invite anyone calling for Klaassen to get a game to go back and watch his performances in the Europa League. Not the rough and tumble of the Premiership, but a European competition in which he captained a team to the final last year. Not only does he shirk practically every challenge, his movement and ability to show for the ball were shocking. Ajax were clearly set up to play to his strengths, everyone else doing the hard yards and handing him the ball 20-30 yards from goal to take pot shots or play a through ball. We cannot afford to carry a player like that, it's difficult enough getting Sigurdsson involved enough to be effective. If Klaassen is going to have a future here he needs to get in the U23s and show he can run football matches at that level with his left nut. I'm skeptical to put it mildly.
