2021/22 Lucas Digne

What I took from it was Benitez was saying Digne was complaining about his stats (probably because he wants to stay in the national side) and Benitez is saying your stats don't matter for a team that's finished 12th and 10th. Your stats can be sacrificed if it means moving up the table to more meaningful positions. So Digne has thrown his toys out of the pram in self interest rather than putting ego, national team and stats aside to help us get results. I could be wrong but that's how I took what he was saying. If I've interpreted correctly then Digne needs to go 100%
I don't think it was anything to do with that tbh. It will all be that Digne used a data company to help him get his deal last time - like De Bruyne did with City.

If your theory is correct, Benitez doesn't have a leg to stand on because when we got hammered 4-1 in the derby he came out and told us all that we'd run the most in the league so it was okay.
 
Scumbags on Skysports already talking down his fee from the mooted £30 million.

The same beauts who did not raise an eyebrow when Sheff Utd payed the RS £25 million for Rhian Broomhandle.
 
He got completely done on the inside by Matty Cash this season off the top of my head, that was an error leading to a goal. He gave away a needless free kick on the edge of the area that led to Millwall’s winning/equalising goal in that infamous game. This is why I think stats are complete nonsense.
It doesn't count like that so likewise it won't count for any other players mate.

A foul is a foul and counts on the foul statistic, not as an error leading to a goal. Think about it, if you measured it that way, any player who put it out for a corner that then went in would lead to that being counted as an error, even if was a magnificent finger-tip save.

But it actually is an error leading to a goal though isn’t it? Don’t care what some fridge who works for WhoScored says, I’ve watched enough football over many many years to know a piece of poor defending when I see it. Stop looking at stats, it doesn’t tell you anything.

But hang on? Our manager has today publicly come out and told us he doesn't want to be here, and made it pretty clear by the way he lost his head that Digne will never play for Everton again while he's here.

So in what world does that give Everton any bargaining power?

Which has been my point all along.
 
Which statements?

The Benitez one is accurate - and Digne has expressed that he wants to leave.
Benitez has seen through the players who are not up for it/disruptive & called them out on it. He knows who the problem players are. They don’t like it”

He also mentioned “toxic x players”, but Reidy wasn’t mentioned.
Clue: presumably this one had been whispering in LD’s ear given same position……

Like I said mate I think that's what he was getting at, rightly or wrongly. As he kept mentioning how stats don't matter for 10th and 12th place finishes

Fridge lol

It's opta tbf, and this is what every club in the PL uses.

Yeah, personally, I think getting skinned by Matty Cash would have counted as an error. But then there's all the other 'errors' that lead up to it. Like I said though, it balances it out because likewise, when Micheal Keane gets skinned by whichever child Hull play up top tomorrow, it won't count as an error for him either. Errors in this case count as when the player directly gives the ball away and it leads to a goal/shot. So, just off the top of my head, Coleman in the derby to Salah.
 
Believe Benitez or Digne - a man who wants to do his best for Everton or one who wants to leave ASAP.

That's an easy one.
Digne hasn’t said a word though has he mate? He signed a new long deal as a sign of commitment a few months back, happy to be here and was one of the better players.

Utter professional to maintain his counsel in the face of the FSW’s public provocation and lies.
