2020/21 Joao Virginia

BuT For ReADinG And tHe uNDer 23's

It's almost like you shouldn't judge a player until he's thrown in at the highest level, and that the Everton coaches might know a player when they see one.

Was just wondering when you'd ever seen him play.

I’ve never ever ever seen him play in the flesh. I just considered him to be among the myriad of youth players we bring in from other clubs who never get to the first team. Obviously wrong to have that kind of bias, but understandable with the turnover of players in similar situations over the years.

That said I swear I saw something once saying we paid Arsenal like £9m or something for Virginia so maybe he was destined for big things all along!

Take a bow son. Didn't deserve this scoreline, should've earned his clean sheet with that effort.

Well played lad probably our best player this evening.

 

[Quadvod]

Well done lad - unlucky with the first goal - great tip onto the bar

 

[DrEFC]

Was really good, shame he's on the losing side again.

 

[Parker]

Them gloves mate. Truly outstanding work.

The keeping weren't bad either.

 

[riddick]

SUUUPER unfortunate that the first goal bounced directly to Gundoggan or however you spell it. Got his fingertips on it which saved the goal to begin with.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Had a good game. Should be proud of himself.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Well done lad

 

[mahermi1]

Played really well, made some impressive stops and a nice height for a keeper, 6' 3". Looks to have longer arms than Jordan too.

Could he be number two? Rio just saying he has given the manager confidence, could he play 2 though?

I know RB is a problem but I think he's better suited to goalkeeping.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Very composed in goal, can be proud of himself

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Good game. Well played. Very pleased for him.
