Of course he will, one headless chicken to another. Gana’s not good enough moving forward and he’s a better player than McCarthy.

You are very disparaging of Gana, and now McCarthy. Fair enough if you don't rate them but who would you bring in to replace Gana?

Someone who would take us to the next level.

That’s a job for Brands.

Do you think gana & McCarthy are good enough?
Because I don’t, McCarthy is a mid table plodder. And I’ve said for 18 months gana is poor on ball, and it’s not just his sloppy passing, he also plays the wrong passes and puts players into trouble.

His game intelligence is sadly lacking.
 

I've just rewatched the goal and he didn't look once to see if anyone was around him from when they look their quick free kick.

He was running back looking at the ball the whole time. He didn't even see Doucoure until he was heading the ball in front of him.

My job is to be a critic with absolutely no idea what the right answer is. Safest place on the internet. Coward.

I'd like to know who the alternatives are though as every team has a player in the mould of Gana that is in there to protect the back 4, regain possession and play 10 yard balls to better players (or be more expansive if they are at a top club). Clearly the top sides have different levels of that kind of player - e.g Busquets for Barca. But Busquets was no Iniesta or Xavi was he?

So I am interested to know who an Everton side that is commonly around 7th/8th can go and get that is a significant upgrade to Gana to take us to the next level. The likes of Gana need to improve on their passing, but he's not alone in being limited in that regard.

Gana and Gomes were forming an excellent partnership together before the last 3 games. Now we've had a poor run of results and Gana is being written off. Ridiculous in my opinion. I think they will gain back that good form.
 
He excellent but sometimes we dont need him when we have the majority of the ball as his passing is below the standard for us which is a shame. Dacoure would be an upgrade.

Just mentioned in my last post Torreira, would be an upgrade for 22mil and at 22 has loads of potential to get better and better.

I’m sure silva and Brands will be looking for a number 6 around that age bracket, who already is technically a much better play than gana, who also has the potential to kick on.

Gana’s passing is not going to improve anytime soon.

You talk like we are still stuck in the Moyes and kenwright era, I’m hoping thing are different now. And if players aren’t good enough they will be replaced, I believe even being 7th or 8th we can pay the fees and wages to attract champions league players from lesser leagues.
