He doesn't get bullied because his brain and footwork means he's always finding a yard of space. You can only get roughed up by someone if they can get near you to do it.

He and Richarlison are special talents. They're players that when the game is finished you can't wait to watch them again next week - you can count the amount of players Everton have had like that since the 80s on one hand.

There’s a lot of truth in this. Means they will win us a lot of free kicks too when the likes of Morgan are trying to keep them in check.
 
Won possession back 14 times yesterday - the most on our team.

That's not tackles or interceptions, necessarily, but it's those moments where players nip onto a loose ball etc.

And that's what I noticed he's so good at - probably because of his pace. He just gets there before the other players.

The Leicester goal cam from him giving the ball away.....if that was Ross, he would have been blamed for that goal.

And that mistake has been pointed out by many on here. The difference here is that Bernard didn't let the mistake get to him and continued to make things happen, Ross too often let his head go down after things like that and disappeared from games. Players make mistakes, it's how they respond to those mistakes that matters.

Can you get the stats for who has had the most yellow cards awarded when being fouled. Silva needs to start making an issue of the treatment richalrson is taking someone is going to hurt him sooner or later heaven forbid.

Well he spent 4 years in Ukraine so I can't see our winter troubling him too much. He'll probably be a fanny and wear gloves though.

Not sure what Ross has to do with it as he's not our player any more. But if it was Davies or Siggy then I'd agree, They would get some stick for it, probably about 3 pages worth in Toms case. And Gana has already taken quite a bit of flack for his part in it.

But I think what we have here is a player who sees the game on a completely different level to all our other players, and who is new to the team. So the others aren't used to his game yet. It was a very clever cut back by Bernard, and had Gana been on the front foot would have seen him in possession in a dangerous area for Leicester. Another example was his cut back earlier in the half when everybody had made the same run towards the 6 yard box. Nobody held back. I think the more the front 4/5 work together and get used to each others game, we'll get to see the benefit of these little gems of vision from Bernard.

In the meantime we need to have a little patience. Not all of them will end up as goals against us.

Ross wasn’t the strongest mentally , pretty sure he started crying last night when the Leicester fans boo’ed when Maddison went off as he thought they were Everton fans booing him
