2018/19 Lucas Digne

[Toffee in Jandals]

You can get assists by just lumping the ball in....he played enough games and crossed enough times to get 53 assists.

I emphasise again: crosses specifically delivered to a player picked out and executed to perfection.

Digne is a throwback. It's Dave Thomas-like (ask yer dads.)

.... I wouldn't bet against Tony Hibbert having crossed the ball in his Everton career as many times as Baines, yet I don't see Hibbo with 53 assists. Bless you Dave, please never change lol

Don't need to Dave, seen him play. In fact it was Bernard who reminded me more of DT.

Also Dave Thomas as good as he was had Bob Latchford to aim for, need I say anything else.

 

[Charro]

Ha Ha.

He just lumped it in.

I'm talking about players who get their heads up and pick out a specific target and drill it right to them.

Worst thing I’ve ever read this.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Love the way his name is pronounced "Dean"

 

[Groucho]

Baines, Dave.

Let your weird hatred go.

Baines just got "a delivery" in...when, that is, he wasn't hitting the first opposition player it had to try and get past.

I have to say, I find your downer on Baines a little odd.

It's not that odd. A player stabs the team in the back on camera while they were playing a game. Not exactly the stuff of legends like is it?

 

[Khalekan]

Is he the best crosser of a ball at the club since Hinchcliffe?

Gerard Deulefeou.

Has more assists than any defender in the Premier League era

But he's got them all by just lumping the ball in

It'd be funny if I didn't think you were serious

 

[Khalekan]

Common dave , you really beleive that every crops from hinchcliff or whoever , specifically picks out a player? So you have two guys running in the box? You play a curling cross with pace into the danger area between the gk and strikers . They both go for it and the near post misses it and the guy on the back post finishes it. That’s not a good cross? Free kicks are played into danger areas mate .

And don't forget Hinch had Big Dunc to aim at....a man capable of making a Hail Mary look like a precision cross

 

[evertonarntwe]

must be buzzing digne

comes to a big club ( not compared to his previous ones of course ) gets his foot straight in to be one of the most important players, seems well liked by all he's got his place back in the national squad, fair play on him could have just stayed at barca and played the odd game but he's came here.

think he's absolutely boss me, one of our most important purchases, absolute steal in todays market as well

Lump enough crosses in and people score from them. That's just simple laws of probability.

Thats why some rated bolasie

Dave's having a mare here lol lol stick to the rs thread mate x

 

[BlueToff]

Brilliant player.

He uses the ball so well.

He had Pereira in his pocket on Saturday, I can't remember anything coming down that side at all - Leicester's attacks were entirely down the other side.

A mare for saying that Digne is a great crosser of the ball?
