Think he's one of those players that has to be used exactly right, with right system/players around him or else exposes big problems. Can't knock his goals though - gets a fair haul, often in important games.......also often cancelling out an individual error of his own making! But like others have said, credit where due today, I'm all up for Everton players having good games - keep it up!!

Said like a strictly judge but spot on, who who wouldn't want our players to have a decent game.
I've slated him enough but can't complain about him today without over egging the omelette.
 

He is a fantastic finisher tbf but sadly he has all the mobility of a double decker bus, trampoline first touch and has no ability to dribble and hold the ball up in tight spaces, crucial CF attributes which puts the play him up front shouts to bed. He's essentially DCL in reverse who would be a top top striker if he could finish

That said though I'd say he's a decent option to bring off the bench and stick up top if we're chasing a game, which we actually have done in the past. Barcelona used to do that too with Pique if my memory is correct
 

He’s an absolutely fine third choice CB for Everton.

My issue is that the manager gives him too many opportunities and sadly he caused havoc amongst his own team mates.

I’m putting this out there.

He’s not that bad. He’s been made our scapegoat.

I absolutely agree. Reminds me a bit of Unsworth. Takes a lot of stick but really is servicable and capable of putting the ball in the net. I like
him and always hope from a sentimental pov that he does well. Get Well Soon Branthawaite though
