2017/18 James McCarthy

He can run, shoot, pass and tackle, as well as read the game well

Doesn't do enough step overs though

From what I can remember from his first season he ran about a lot, put himself about in a few challenges and made the grand total of 0 forward passes.

Another player that just because he ran about a bit was lauded and considered “our best player” by many Everton fans.

He made plenty of forward passes, lots of evidence on YouTube if you think I'm making it up

Haven't seen any evidence of that myself mate.

O'Neill being a complete bumsniff and calling him up to prove some sort of point after his spat with Koeman last time IMO.

Plenty of it out there mate

Cuz that's exactly what we were saying, isn't it Mikey?

Same YouTube that made Niasse look like Messi?

His shooting is laughably bad, I don't blame him for only entering the final 3rd twice a season.

Well my resounding memory is that he was a crab, much like Joe Allen was for Liverpool at the time. He offered as much attacking imputous as the goalkeeper did and I remember wondering why the hell we didn’t play a more attack minded CM instead of him in many of the games I watched us play.

Don’t get me wrong, he had some good games and was good at what he did (for about a season) but honestly he wouldn’t look out of place at West Brom or Stoke or someone like that.

Forgot that Judas still plays for us tbh.

Literally doesn't do half them things

 

[sageyefc]

Absolute waste of skin and bones the utter yard dog of a judas. Wage thief

 

[BlueLlama]

Getting like the Bilic saga this, injured for us yet fine to play for his (not) country.

Forgot he was here, at least he could have added some energy to the team which at points have been sorely lacking, even if he isn't the most gifted player. At times this season we have needed some energy, kindly offered by young Tom but when he was struggling we looked a bit impotent in the middle. Dogs of war were needed at times, Morgan has been poor this year no doubt about it.

Davies can give us that same energy and is also inventive and unpredictable with the ball at his feet as an added bonus.
