2017/18 Ashley Williams

[COYBL25]

He's in a category of player that makes up for weaknesses by being really intense in training and the way he plays mate, once that intensity drops for whatever reason, then so does his entire game go, and at his age it isnt gonna be coming back.


Stick him in a cannon and fire him back to the land of leeks and sheep

Surely this should be picked up by the all the fitness back room boys and addressed ?

...he’s exposed in this team as is Keane as neither have the athleticism to cope. Forwards at this level will always exploit them.

The issue with having defenders who can’t cope is that you have to waste other resource supporting them. They are ok with balls played into the box, but not with balls played down the side or opposition players who simply run past them. The lack of athleticism (pace, running power, mobility and strength) in our team is obvious. We need a CB with a Rolls Royce engine and preferably two full backs of similar ilk.

It’s what Walsh is paid lots of money to ensure. It’s a basic in the modern era.

Can take a horse to water but can't make it drink mate,

Rollers are very expensive Eggs and their engines won't fit into a Lada.

Any suggestions ?

It would have to be the biggest cannon ever and then it probably would only propel him to the edge of Stanley Park.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Get out of our club you tit

IF you have a slower, less agile cb, you need them paired up with a very athletic one with pace, ideally you have both with those attributes ofc, but having both with neither is a horror show, even more so when you have fullbacks who simply arent good enough defensively to provide any real support or help

 

[Brendan Janus]

What a [Poor language removed]' yard dog he really is !!

 

[arminisgod]

It's all a bit sad really. He is gone, finished.

I don't agree with people saying he doesn't care, he looks completely devastated on the pitch and just can't handle it

..it’s the job of Walsh and his scouting and analyst network to find these types, most teams have them. It’s not just at the back, it’s in midfield as well. The first goal last night, they ran through our two left sided players because they were literally standing still. Against Watford, Rooney was embarrassingly struggling to keep up with their right back and ended up lunging at him a few times.

Remember Gary Stephens and Van den Hauwe, they had Rolls Royce engines. It makes a huge difference, you have to have it in your team at this level.

Also Baines until recently too

It's not his fault he's being picked, as he's been absolutely crap for months. That's all down to the manager.

 

[streeky]

The only good thing to come out of a dead rubber last night, he has pulled on a everton shirt for the last time.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Beyond parody how bad he's been in 2017.
