James McCarthy

[The Hibbert Agenda]

I have serious concerns that Kev and Apostolos might become jealous at there being another super-sex model footballer at the club...

I think that at Everton we will see McCarthy play a different role to the one he played at Wigan.
At Wigan the options open to RM were limited and McCarthy played a role that was certainly more defensive than attacking.He anchored the midfield and tried to dictate the game the Wigan played from there.At Wigan the manager had limited option on how to organise his team.That is not meant to be disrespectful,but I think it is true.

At Everton , after the recent window, McCarthy will face a very different role at Everton.We now have two players in Gibson and Barry who will take the defensive role in central midfield leaving McCarthy more freedom to play a box to box role.

In Ireland we have a manager that would play the game without any midfielders if he could , don't forget that Gibson could not get a game ahead of Keith Andrews which says a lot.

Trappatoni makes Hodgsons tactics look like Johan Cruyff mate, i feel sorry for the irish lids having to watch what he's doing with whats actually a half decent team atm

My prediction is McCarthy will be out of the side by Xmas or his place taken by a new January signing as Bobby will accept defeat as with Kone and as Brenda with Allen/Borini.

Hell of a supporter you are!

Really looking forward to James McCarthy being an Everton regular for years to come.

Young enough to have vast improvement in him and already considered to be very good.

Not even arsed what the fee was, if he stays 5 years it will be peanuts.

Totally agree, sure "milkshock" will have something negative to say about it though!

My prediction, and forgive me for my language. Is that you are a massive, massive. Bellwhiff.

Comments like those are so stupid people writing players off before theyve played a minute of football for us is a joke.

Top post, and spot on.

Do you get any satisfaction from supporting Everton or are you just a masochist???

Genuine question.

I just think McCarthy is an over priced average player who was part of a side that got relegated.

If he turns out to be a good signing will you repent??!

 

[By god I'm blue]

Hasn't got any choice has he really?

Wouldn't want to make himself look a bell end now would he?

Cant see this Irish game covered tv-wise anywhere. Is it RTE-only?

 

[DevineEFC]

Sounds like he is passing it around much more than last night and getting it around far quicker....

 

[Ruairi77]

Yea, I'm watching it and he already seems to be doing better. He seems to be playing just infront of the back four.

 

[davek]

Took a knock there in a 50-50.

 

[Ruairi77]

Thought he had a good half there, considering the ball spent most of the time about 20 feet above his head, Did everything asked of him well. I can see why Martinez likes him.
