2023/24 Ashley Young

[Marius57]

Can’t have a go at young when the manager is the one selecting him for crucial matches like last night.

Certain opponents may call for young at RM - last night wasnt that time.

He tries his best, it’s just that he’s well past it.

If we play league 2 teams in the cup?

Seen a few comments saying he has put in some decent performances for us. When? At best he has played average in some games.

I know mate, I did say “may”!

I was making excuses for Dyche picking him in games where we need more defensive cover and won’t have the ball.

I wouldn’t have him near the starting 11 personally.

 

[Houghty19]

If we had six one legged right backs and him on the bench he might get first sub but it's not a given

 

[MikeH72]

He would not get a game for one single other team in the league, even off the bench, and I include Sheffield United and Burnley in that. Why the hell do we continue to accumulate these players?

 

[Arteta2391]

Surely there are better back up RB's wasting their careers sitting the bench in other premier league clubs. But the club had to sign him.

ffs Everton board

 

[bluejohn66]

The problem with tonight's draw is that I feel it won't be the last time we see young..

It must be dream to be an opposition left back and see Ashley Young on the team sheet - probably go for a pint and fag before the game.

Could easily do a pint and a fag during a game and probably a Brass too !!!

 

[pedro789]

Not his fault getting picked for a must win game like that.

But how does Dyche go in at ht and think 'I know I'll give him another 20 mins'.

Crazy decision.

 

[Eggs]

….seemed a strange selection, I did wonder if Harrison is carrying a knock and couldn’t play 90mins.

 

[Kaiser Soysauce]

Gash....

Oh wait, we're not playing word association?

We have 3 at the club and we're playing Young on the wing because we have to have a pensioner on the field at any given time and are now using our 4-5th choice CB as a RB as he is tall.

Stokerton FC.

I think it was as simple as playing a right footed player on the right hoping it would help us get balls in the box quicker than we have done but he was awful so it’s not something to try again.

 

[carolinablue232]

I don’t think he’s had a good performance since September. Just drop him and let him retire after the season. He’s finished.

If that’s the idea I genuinely don’t know why you wouldn’t just put Patterson on the right wing. What single thing does 38 year old Ashley Young offer?

I agree I don’t think it was a good idea I just mean I don’t think it was for any crazy reason I think it was just a very basic idea and it didn’t work.
