2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Shibbywiggles]

Erm the more likely version of events according to this forum is:

Dyche wanted to play Mina - too expensive so left

Dyche wanted to play Coady - we couldn’t afford him, Thelwell’s fault

Dyche can’t play Godfrey - he’s just so terrible that there’s no credit to Dyche for not playing him

Dyche can’t play Holgate - see Godfrey reason - loaned to Southampton


Dyche wanted to play Keane - started him at the beginning of the season when Branthwaite wasn’t fit but then bowed to fan pressure on internet forums to play Branthwaite (coincidentally at the same time as he was fully fit) and has only kept him in the team every game since then due to fan pressure.

Ergo Dyche deserves no credit and there’s perfectly valid reasons why a 21 year old is starting every week for Sean Dyche’s Everton and none of them have anything to do with Dyche …..apparently.

Oh mate I missed the first line at first and was about to hammer this post

Especially Dyche bowing to peer pressure on an internet forum

There was a time we could hope to keep a player like this for a good few years. Not now.

I would imagine Pep will be all over this next summer

We need to already be looking to buy his replacement btw. No way should we wait too long to do this. Even if he’s still here, bring him in.

I’m starting to get way ahead of myself but!

We’re playing well
The league is the poorest it’s been for sometime
Good teams are knocked out of the league cup and we have a chance at a lower league quarter final if we get past Burnley
We have good young players getting better every week
Dyche is developing players well, creating team spirit and bond
Beautiful new stadium coming next season

It’s not insane to think we could finish top half and have a crack at a cup this season which could allow us to keep Onana, Branthwaite and co a little longer


…obviously the pessimist will say we’re skint and 777 are gonna come in and asset strip us and there’ll be a point deduction etc. but there are reasons to think things could be on the up

If we can get to 10th then i think players will be thinking were improving and perhaps want to see us into the new stadium with the team aiming for top 8 next season.

Need a bit of luck and a couple of additions.

He's 17 and played less than 2,000 senior minutes. No.

Look at his interception for the goal, difference between 1 point and 3.

Hunger.

I was well impressed him yesterday. Antonio, a player who usually utilises his strength, didn't want to get physical at all with Jarrad.

He was sublime mate, just toweringly immense.

It’s a while since I looked at one of our players and just went wow, that’s very very special.

As you say even more impressive as Antonio is a beast of a man, one of the most physically imposing in this league.

I think his "no nonsense" defending is refreshingly rare in the modern game but he's also so comfortable in possession even when under pressure, he keeps his distribution simple when he needs to but also has the vision and confidence to pick a defence splitting pass out when it's on. A special player.

I watched a video with James Garner in it, I’m sure he mentions that Jarred is 2 footed. Always makes life easier if you can use both feet. If you notice in the interception, he uses his right to win the ball then passes with his left.
