2024/25 Ashley Young

[Ged G]

Fair play, he was very good last night, but lets not go overboard here. He has been bad a lot more than hes been good since he signed for us. I hope we sign a new rightback in january, and use Young as the sub hes supposed to be.

I for one am not going overboard, I leave that to the ones on here (sadly many) to do that as they slag off Young, Pickford, etc, etc. Young has been great for several games now, end of. Who is this wonderful right back we are gonna sign in January? Whoever he is, he better be good at once, otherwise the boo boys will be on his back, too.

Hahaha what?

surely you understand?

How's the podcast doing lately?

Youngs been great for us of late but he was abysmal last season and a liability the first couple games.

 

[Ged G]

Always a class player but signed a decade and a half too late for us.

Why would he have come to us before?

which podcast?

 

[Ged G]

I will never argue against someone saying Ashley Young was bad.

I will.

 

[SJB]

I will.

MOTM or thereabouts for most matches this season, many people posting that he's our best player of the season so far, and a tragic minority who hung their hat on the peg that said "Ashley Young is finished at this level" who can't admit they got it wrong.

I really do mate - you've been preaching this boundless and unconditional positivism and saying people have agendas while having an agenda (that also is 100% made up and doesn't exist) yourself, randomly, that you've casually overlooked because "SoMe WiLl SlAg HiM OFf ReGarDleSs" when even that's disproved by the last few pages praising him for the last few games while pointing out he's still a huge liability and a past-it footballer, both of which are facts.

The Pickford shout is incredibly bizarre as there's no sane Evertonian who will slag Pickford off, even more so for a penalty save against the RS hahaha

#StayPositive though The most Everton way to be positive, well in mate.

To be honest I found that rant hard to follow, a few commas in the right places might have helped. Anyway, I will try to address some of your "points"...
I will make no apologies for being positive. I know that does not sit well with many here, who love to wallow in outrageous, unhelpful, negativity.
People do have agendas.
You mention "facts". No, they are not facts, they are opinions.
My Pickford "shout" is not "bizarre" at all. There are many who slag Pickford off no matter what he does.
My comment about him saving a penalty against the RS, well, that was tongue-in-cheek, but you missed that.... amongst other things.

It's very odd, its as if saying Young has done well means you are praising dyche or whatever by osmosis.

Statistical facts, actually.

It is very bizarre, he's been one of our most important players and that's been acknowledged by everyone.

Sorry mate I'll go back to my cage, you go on to be captain positive and make stuff up x

 

[jazzy]

Have to say that Ashley is making me eat my words .

Sadly, you turned this conversation into a fractious one. Can't you accept that someone might see things differently from yourself?
What stuff have I made up?
You are out of your depth if you believe that opinions are "statistical facts".
Nope, not everyone acknowledges that Pickford is our most important player. How have you missed those loons?
Why does it bug you that someone is positive? I will continue to be positive, not deluded but positive. It is healthy, try it.
So, thank you for the conservation but let's beg to differ...
