Tom Cleverley

Can't wait to get rid of him. Even as a squad player he's absolutely useless.

I'll be shocked if he's playing top flight football in 2 years time. He's got nothing to keep him at this level.

He was especially awful yesterday but the booing was just stupid. Makes fans look like right dickheads and if he does get another chance (hopefully not) why would he even try after fans doing that.

Because - and I appreciate it is hard to accept in Snivelley's case - he's a professional footballer and effort is the bare expected minimum at Everton.

Again, another post blaming the fans for goodness sake. It wasn't a lid in the Street End venting his spleen that caused Snivelley to break up our own attacking play with 30 yard passes backwards. It's not someone booing in the Main Stand that causes Snivelley to score three goals or whatever it is in his entire Everton career. He's just an abysmal footballer

I agree entirely. Can anyone point out something that he does better than others on the pitch?

He's useless. He's not creative enough for a number 10, he's too weak defensively to play in the midfield, he is crap at linking up with his fullback when out wide, his shooting is crap as well.

I keep reading people saying "he works hard", he doesn't. I was fuming when I flew over and watched him play against Crystal Palace, he was brought into the team to protect Oviedo and he went missing the whole match and left Oviedo with all the defending to do out wide.

from the guardian 10 talking points:

4) Cleverley fails to impose himself on Everton team
It was interesting that, in response to a series of lacklustre performances, Ross Barkley was the man dropped from the Everton side by Ronald Koeman against Manchester United. Yet whether you think his demotion was harsh or not, not many could defend the identity of his replacement. It was tricky not to feel sorry for Tom Cleverley, removed after 65 insipid minutes to the sound of cheers from his own fans, but you can also understand why those fans were happy to see him go. It’s seven years since he made his senior debut and, in that time, he hasn’t really made clear exactly what sort of player he is, and the question that poses itself is: what’s he for? The moment that seemed to irk the Goodison crowd most came when he played a backwards pass near the edge of the United area as an attack built, thus removing all momentum from it, and seemed to sum him up neatly. Perhaps Barkley does need a spell out of the team, but replacing him with Cleverley, a player for whom a sideways pass seems to represent the height of ambition, is not the way to go. NM

That is spot on. Basically what I just wrote above before going back and reading the posts. He's making me irrationally angry after I've just seen Koeman saying Barkley deserves to be dropped but he is alright sticking this fella into the team. That's a wind up and it worked on me.

He played for United that can keep a lot of players in and around the premier league for some team or another.
