2021/22 Ellis Simms

[navidson]

Mason Greenwood has only played 7 U23 games in his life. He had finished playing for them and been promoted to the first team before Simms had ever scored a goal for ours. People just write things lol

Sorry - Under 18's

The point remains the same

 

[DanEFC92]

WHY was he given 3 more years? What was the point??

 

[tsubaki]

hope he doesn't feel like an absolute mug for signing that contract now

 

[ToffeeTim]

If he ain't good enough to be on the bench when DCL is hurt then why was he offered a 3 year deal

Because the manager is clueless and refuses to accept that he brought in an absolute dud in Rondon.

This is all about the manager’s ego now.

 

[Nymzee]

I'm okay with him not being on the bench since he's very, very out of match practice but then same is Tosun. Dobbin deservedly ahead.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Plenty of times he could have got some minutes off the bench or even a start, but instead we have to wait until we're in an unwinnable game at Chelsea so that Benitez can point to him and say "See, I told you he wasn't good enough"

Very sceptical viewpoint and I'm nots ure its true, but you never know with Benitez.

Whole team isnt set up to benefit him tonight at all. I feel for him, although pleased he's getting a game.

said this on the match thread but, if that is what he is trying to do, I hope it blows up in his face.

Had plenty of chances to give Simms a go this season

Dobbin as well

But he didn't, either because he's got an agenda or because he's outright rubbish at his job

So now he's throwing them in cold against the third best team in the country

It's either mighty suspect or a monument to just how much the modern game has passed him by

"He doesn't play the kids"

<plays kids>

"He's throwing a lamb to the wolves".


Bankrupt.

dave I've wanted Simms to start ahead of Rondon since before Rondon was at the club

Everton Summer transfers 2021

Maybe that Dutch Fraud shouldn't have dragged his arse the entire window and sorted before forcing us into a deadline day scramble then. maybe he couldn't because we have no money

[Ufotone]
