[maccavennie]

The Fylde thread confirms you’re up there with Rodgers and Hammerstein as a lyricist

Thanks mate, thats an improvement on the wife's Chaz & Dave comparison

 

[Lelouch]

against Noble and Declan Rice? I hope not.

Rice doesn’t put tackles in so he’ll be alright there.

I'm a new fan of Everton (yes, I'm Colombian). I'm hoping that this player, Siggy, elevates his game because I imagine Everton got him for a reason. Still, from all the games I've seen, he doesn't inspire confidence. His passes are always backward and, with the exception of that one pass to Richalison, I've not seen him make penetrating passes. I do think that a player like him needs confidence and I wouldn't give up on him just yet. Given his cost, the new players on the team, the optimism of the fans, I think he is playing not to make a mistake, i.e., very hesitant. As the team keeps playing offensive football, the hope is that he will join the rhythm and play fearlessly. Once this happens, Everton will gain yet another weapon.

He awful mate, one the worse players we had and way way over priced. He also slow as hell and hates to tackle.

Welcome to Everton and the Forum

Thing with Ciggy is that he needs lots of time on the ball to i) turn; and ii) suss out who is who. Much better suited to coming off the bench on 60 mins imho when there is space and time on the ball. He's dreadful first 60 mins of a prem game when put under pressure. I quite like him as an impact off the bench, slow the game down and add some control in the midfield.

Better not discuss what he is like off the ball, abso woeful. Allergic to physical contact.

All of the above complete anathema to King James of Rodriguez. Spacial awareness, plays on the half turn and, important for us Evertonians, loves a sliding tackle. Come on!

James and Sig are very similar players, neither runs but one seems to have forever on the ball, while the others trying to remember what a football is.
James seems to be able to slow down time and pick the pass while Sig seems to panic and lose it

It’s like you’ve always been one of us if that’s your view of the Icelandic pointing Iceberg. The only thing I’d like to add is that once youve become a true fan, that hope of him turning good will disappear. lol

welcome to the best club in the world mate!!

That they don't have the pace is probably the only thing similar about them!

When fans are allowed back I can't wait to make the trip up to Goodison to watch him play
