2024/25 Jesper Lindstrom

This is what i wrote previously and why one of them should be in the 10 position -- therefore closer to the other.

….i do think that after Saturday he might continue with Doucoure at no10. He’s not been able to get that balance right behind McNeil at 10 but maybe saw signs that Gueye/Mangala could provide that.

I’d at least look at Lindstrom or Ndiaye in that central role but Dyche will know our stats for when Doucoure doesn’t start.

I think Mangala & Gana look like a very pedestrian centre -- once the ball is past Mangala he's useless. Basically a lamppost.

Doucoure / McNeil just dont have the Xfactor to be in the 10 position. We need cutting edge.
 

Iwobi doing better at Fulham under Marco Silva.
Onana much better for Villa under Unai Emery.
Gordon flying at Newcastle under Eddie Howe.

Marvelous what good coaching can do.

Iwobi had 8 assists in his last Everton season. He was also coached by Ancelloti, he's a pretty good coach.
Onana isn't finishing matches as pointed out above.
Gordon was 21 when he left, I would hope he gets better.

The above isn't a defense of the coaching received post-Ancelloti, more of an indictment of the players we've had.

Those 3 look to be playing a lot bette for their new teams than they did here was my point.

I'le never forget the amount of times Iwobi stunk the gaff out , Onana didn't seem to figure in Dyches plans & Gordon is now way better than he was here.
