Ashley Williams

[roy vernon]

Not good enough at the level to which we aspire.

Koeman wasn't afforded what Martinez was.

Spot the odd one out in this sequence.
Points -goal difference

36 - -42

43 - -13

38 - -16

36 - -26

72 - +22

47 - -2

44 - +1 (after 37 games when he was appropriately binned)

Are you still wanging on about Martinez, Ian?

Wanging?

lol lol lol

He has been a stop gap while Koeman got his feet under the table.

Not a disaster but ultimately not good enough for what is required.

Hopefully he will be replaced in the summer.

He might survive I think, especially if Jags is on his way as well

Will Koeman totally gut the team? I just don't see it

 

[bullybeef]

Looks low on confidence and even embarrassed by his own play sometimes.

Does not seem like an Everton player to me.

I would not be surprised if he left in the summer.

I cant believe how poor he's been here. Hands up: I thought he'd be the answer to a lot of our defensive problems but he is 'kin rank. Cut our losses and get shut.

What a CB pairing we had out there today. They have to be one of the worst pairing in the top half of this league.

Yes, but Jags dererves a bit more respect, time served and all that....Williams isnt close to being like the quality we need

I've just looked at the movement from him for their third goal. Respect isn't the word that immediately springs to mind, tbh.

The feller is a liability. He'll hang on though and get games next season...a lot of them probably. This manager needs to do what his predecessor should have done - get shut of him.

The trouble is, how many players can RK replace, didnt he say he only needs 1 more window. IMO as a minimum we need a goalkeeper, poss 3 defenders at least 1 decent forward thinking midfielder and at least 1 probably 2 forwards

My older brother stated it was a panic buy plugged a hole v lesser teams too expensive - so slow on the turn and oh he stated his backside is too large !

For everyone slagging our keepers and all of our CBs, it's worth noting we still have the 5th best defensive record in the league. Clearly it's not as bad as some say. Williams has been decent. Not great, not poor. He's going to be around and probably starting again next season. Needs some pace alongside him though.

why should he play if we fetch in better jags was on his own today a tortoise was following Williams around !

If we sign better, obviously he shouldn't play. I just don't expect a full gut job of the side and expect Williams will be one who sticks around.

yes because he is probably on a big contract it was a panic buy 11 million for an aging player - not saying we needed to add to our defence, but that was a panic buy!

I think he's miles off. Unless he's backed in the summer massively I dont see him using the cash from Lukaku wisely enough. His judgement on Stekelenburg, Bolasie, Williams and Calvert-Lewin has been poor. Gueye and Schneiderlin are the only ones acceptable.

If we lose Lukaku we'll be weaker next season.
