2017/18 Cuco Martina

[Saint Domingo]

Least he can cross a ball, a skill no one else in the team seems to possess.

 

[Papa Shango]

Watching him for England u20s and U21s he's one of the best players every game,

He is no way worse than Cuco.

Who really expected us to get anything from the game after seeing him on the teamsheet? Not me.

He may be. I like the look of him too but we really don't know how he will do in the first team.

If you are worried about one position with our current set up then you are looking in the wrong place. A young lad being exposed by one of the best teams in the league because we dont give our full backs any protection at all due to our stupid set up could cause him all kinds of problems.

 

[TommyDavo]

Not often I've felt embarrassed for a player but I did yesterday for this lad. Way out of his depth.

 

[sageyefc]

Horrendous player

 

[evertonarntwe]

He's worse than hibbert. Horrid dog of a player. Wish I could never see him in a blue shirt again. Disgrace

Should be part of 5 man defense worked for spurs

Shouldn't be part of any Premier League squad ever.

Good at crossing. Awful at everything else. Should be nowhere near a blue jersey.

 

[billyblue80]

He's Koeman's Alcaraz

so great lets play with no right back then?
he was ten yards off most crosses - then if he gets near the crosser he can't tackle a paper bag - he hops on one leg - his header down just before half time , and he's done it before in a friendly was laughable - they exploited his side with ease - his fresh air clearance put the top hat on it - everyone was bad , but he looked like a Sunday league player at right back!
OK I agree going forwards he is more than OK , but you cannot abandon your right back duties like he did!

I thought he was left to hang out to dry yesterday. No right sided midfielder meant he often had 2 or on one occasion 3 players on their left, all the time Snides, Gana and Klassen just sat in the middle letting him get over run.

If Koeman couldn't see we needed a balance on the right then he is a joke. Any manager who has to make 2 subs at half time (without an injury) is admitting he was out thought by the other manager. And then to still not balance the right side, was infuriating!!

Martina isn't the best, but the formation yesterday was a shambles and this guy was left to look like a mug.
If you don't believe me watch it back, I watched on tv this morning.

I thought key players were hiding yesterday, very disappointed but mostly disappointed by Koemans inept and phenomenal tactics and damn right lack of capability to see the blinking obvious.

So can Kenny, he's just as good if not better at getting crosses in.

 

[mightymoyes]

So can Kenny, he's just as good if not better at getting crosses in.

He also doesn't head the ball back into the middle of the goal which this fella seems to love to do, 3 times I think it is now.
Holgate also does it ie. the city equaliser

Should not be part of any Everton defence ever.

I think that's what you meant mate.
