Yes you are isolating those three but to make a point about the TEAM / SQUAD and their ability to get results.It’s not a thread about other players though. There’s loads of threads criticising everyone. My gripe and the subject of this thread are three midfielders that I believe deserve criticism due to their profile. I can easily criticise everyone but I’m trying to be patient with young players and new signings and not get on their back immediately after one bad performance. As I said though these are three international players in their prime with experience in the prem and at Everton and they have served up over a year or relegation form. People might not like their favourites being called out but this is the truth. 1 win in 17 games when the three of them have played in midfield.
And you say "people don't like their favourites being called out" but you're diluting that point by NOT calling out others. You actively don't like the three you've mentioned and are trying to shoe horn justification via stats and omissions of things your eyes can tell you.
E.g.
Stats will tell you that your trio were part of the team who lost.
Your eyes will tell you that has Tosun and Niasse been at the races, there is a very reasonable assertion that we would have scored more than West Ham and won.
