He wasn't though. They all tried ffs, they all 'worked hard'. They just aren't very good. And that's a big reason why we ended up being stuck in a rut last year, as much as Carlo should have done better.
You're doing that thing where if an Everton player plays badly it's all down to them 'not putting a shift in'. Whereas in truth, it's probably just because they're crap. On occasion, it's both.
Iwobi, for example. I never doubt his commitment or that when he's on his game he is a decent player. But he's so inconsistent that he's just 3 times out of 5 a poor footballer. You can never, ever question Davies' commitment, but unless he's played in a certain role in midfield then he's going to look very poor because he just hasn't got the legs.
The bonus with Townsend is that he's found that consistency, where he will give 7/10 pretty much every game. Most of our poor players haven't got that to their game.
The fact you think they tried is exactly my point you've been fed on the likes of Schneiderlin and Siggurdsson for 7 years now and it shows you dont know any better these days mate.
Gomes is technically a good player - do you think Lee Carsley would have done more or less on Tuesday?
Daves was an england under 21 international - why was he not standing out in a match with lower league opposition?
Can you honestly say Kenny made a case for him to be given a chance at RB?
Why wasn't Iwobi matching Townsends work rate when he for me is a better technical player and current international?
Everton is and will be changing over these coming years under Benitez and I for one cant wait and if others dont like that then they'll ultimately be left behind gagging for the same crap we've watched since Moyes of uninterested players taking them for a ride.
