Do Everton need to sign a CB

[toffeejack]

I'd play Barry in there atm. Those two are shot to pieces.

barry as part of a back 5 was going through my head during that game as a "could it be possible thought" but i don't see how mirallas fits into a system with 5 at the back

Oh how you Love this.

A whole new center half pairing that's abysmal that and won't change unless new players come in and kick them up the arse. Jags is scaringly kak

Got an idea yourself Finners?

We dont need to do that. I think Barry would settle Distin down...he's affected by Jagielka's craziness.

We need to buy in of course, but Barry can show he can steady the ship.

besic fills his space in CM.

 

[ijjysmith]

What's he done mate other than defend against alehouse strikers?

He's not Jags or Distin to be honest mate.

SIGN HIM

No we need two centre backs both Jags and Distin have been dodgy from the first whistle of this season.

Yes. Calm the f up. ...

And buy Van Dik

I think they can get out this slump, but we need to plan for the future or our season could be over before they find form

 

[Mogwai]

If we don't get Van Dijk then we are idiots.

Which we may well be.

Is he that good mate? Know nothing about him.... Feel like we need a commanding CB....

He's a player who can step out and get across the area to snuff out danger.

Sounds good doesnt it?

Need to buy Nastatic and go with Stones partnering distin, sorry to say as he's been a rock for years now, but jaglieka has always been a confidence player who makes up for his lack of pace and height by being sure and full blooded and decisive, all three of which have dissapeared from his game - in fact he's been the polar opposite of this. which leaves a unsure cb lacking pace and height.

Biggest challenge Martinez has faced deciding if it's a temporary slump that he can fix or if it's a genuine decline that is irreversible. Made harder by Moyes appointing him club captain shortly before he left.

All the talk about pushing for top 4, winning a trophy etc can only be achieved if no one in the team is untouchable from being dropped if they go to absolute turd, had too much of that under Moyes with heitenga, Neville, Osman being repeatably selected when letting the side down, something atm Jags is doing through his poor play

Honestly a sad post to have to make and not something i expected doing this early this season...

Does that leave a big Costa size hole in our defence when he gets it wrong?

 

[Azza]

Yes, we need a 8 / 10 year younger version of Alcaraz.

I would only spend money on a centre half provided he is a player who will come in and be a regular fixture in the first XI.

I just don't see Roberto being so ruthless and axe either of them this early into the season, and I don't want us spending decent fees for a bit part centre half.
