2021/22 Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[Bkk Andy]

After a massive injury it's pretty normal to pick up other niggles as you return to fitness. If you don't look after those niggles carefully you end up with another massive injury. It has to be a better safe than sorry approach or we'll cripple him for life.

Mr. Glass

 

[Cool_Blue]

Has featured in 4 of the clubs last 94 competitive games spanning over 2 years.

Really? That many eh? Fair do’s.

 

[sageyefc]

He’ll be due a testimonial before he’s even played 15 games for us

 

[messymascot]

I feel sorry for him. He will be as keen to get out there as anyone. There was no point risking him if there was a niggle and to be fair he would have made no difference to that result. Hopefully like James it is only minor and both can be at least available for bench duties. Maybe Benitez should have named him as 9th substitute knowing full well he wouldn't use him and he would have saved himself a whole lot of awkward questions on both him and James.

Like a new signing

He must be appalling in training.he

He was appalling every time he played. The guy cant even run. Brands should have been sacked a long time ago. The reason Everton wont win anything for the next 20 years.

 

[davek]

I cant think of this player without visualising Brands shovelling £30M in cash into an open furnace with a huge shovel.

 

[Dddddd]

Apparently he wasn't feeling well, had abit of trapped wind.

The only thing he can trap

 

[BlueStevie35]

It’s seriously pathetic how much people want to put this lad down for trying to actually still have a career when we’ve had/still have players who were happy to sit on fat wages to not even play

 

[maccavennie]

Any news on why he wasn't available?

Benitez said he felt a bit of tightness in his quad, he was training all week so likely picked it up late on

 

[nsno-chris]

Mad how they preach on their high horse for the manager, but a young kid whose career could be over they’re happy to stick the knife in.

I mean, there’s double standards and then there’s this

If its the area where he had that nasty injury, best not to take any risks. Hopefully he gets a run out Tuesday if he's fit.

Taking into consideration the seriousness of his injuries over the past few years, I'd want the club to be overly cautious with his rehabilitation and return.
