2020/21 Lucas Digne

[DanB90]

Time to see what Niels is made of.
Can’t think of many better players I’d want to play behind as a young fullback than Richarlison. His work rate both ends is immense.

How come Gylfi never gets hurt ?

Because he doesn’t break a sweat or exert himself in any way.

Big blow

Some bits -

From eight Premier League appearances this term, Digne has created 16 chances, second behind only James (18) in regards to Everton players, while the former Barcelona man has registered four assists, including two in a 3-2 win over Fulham last time out.

Digne has started every league game he has been available for this term, with the 27-year-old having been suspended for a defeat to Newcastle United following a red card in a 2-0 loss to Southampton on October 25.

Since Digne signed for Everton under Marco Silva in August 2018, the France international has missed just seven league games, appearing 78 times in the top flight.

Everton, who face Leeds United have only managed two wins from those seven games, conceding an average of 1.9 goals per game, compared to 1.3 with Digne in the side.

While Digne is solid at the back, the Toffees will be missing a huge creative influence going forward – he has created more chances than any other Premier League defender since the start of the 2018-19 season, while only Liverpool pair Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson (26 each) have more assists among defenders in that time.

Digne also ranks the highest for assists (15), interceptions (109), crosses from open play (357) and tackles (160) in Everton's squad since his Premier League debut.

You have to be involved in the game in the first place to get hurt.

Until Digne gets fit 352 it is

Pickford

Holgate Keane Godfrey

Coleman Allan Doucoure Iwobi

Rodriguez

DCL Richarlison

We seem to get a ridiculous amount of training ground injuries but we just have to suck it up. It weakens us again both first choice full backs out. You wonder if the amount of games has a cumulative affect International friendlies need binning.

I like this, is Iwobi right footed or two footed?

 

[Saint Domingo]

I want to think Gylfi two footed him just so I could hate him even more.

3 at the back, Nkonkou given a run at wing back. Digne back before you know it. No problem.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

With the angels now, YNWA.

Right footed

I doubt that works well cause Iwobi cant cross with his left. Got to be N Kounkou or Delph

I like your take on things.

Not an ideal thing to happen, but a great opportunity for the young lad to get experience.

As other people have implied, might as well say, "How come Nelson's column never gets hurt?".

 

[marcus]

Think Digne had a bad ankle for a while now off & on...
