2023/24 Ben Godfrey

[Chrismac]

He's a hard working lad, but zero footballing ability, 5mins in and he slices a ball straight into the stands trying to play it up the line.
Sell him to Wigan Warriors please

He’s a bit of an odd one. Being a centre half by trade (supposedly), he offers virtually nothing going forwards from RB.
He looks good making them recovery runs, going 20-30yards to make a block, but is absolutely weak when a winger runs at him.

I was listening to commentary from Everton first half an hour as I was in work

Darren Griffiths said "the boy just lacks confidence with the ball at his feet"

Snodins reply "but he's supposed to be a professional footballer Darren"

Nail on head.

He is not a CB. He is a stand in full back. I am sure we can get better stand in full backs from the Championship

Criminal that you can have 2 right backs on the bench who both at least offer something going forward and he continues with a fella who looks like he'll piss his shorts every time he gets to the half way line

The likes of Snodin must shake their heads at the standard of some of our massively overpaid "professionals". Snodin earned a fraction of what this "athlete" gets in a year.

His tone when he said it was of a man who knew Godfrey simply isn't good enough as a footballer.

I'd say he's entitled to be offended.

I'm half expecting Godfrey to be dropped next week

And replaced by Ashley Young

I wonder if he could play CM in the gana role only based on his recovery and challenges seems to do well with them aspects

Good stuff. Playing Man U he might at least get a good reception

Holgate mk2

With pace

 

[ToffeeTim]

It's not sustainable to play him at full back. But his lack of aerial ability means he can't play centre half regularly either.
