Worst Debut you ever seen from a player who turned out decent.

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

When we signed them didnt they both have reputations of been knackered with dodgy knees?

Yes .
But give HK credit, he knew it was more than skills with the ball that we required.

Jagelka and Baines looked terrible the first few times I saw them.

Jagielka got chucked into midfield alongside Phil Neville for many of his first few games. Injuries basically, but yeah, did him no favours.

Here is a picture of Messi scoring the winning goal. Check out Besic owning him in the background.

By the way hi GOT x

Check out Besic getting taken out by his own player.

MUPPET.

Considering you're probably one of the most worthless posters on this entire forum I'll take your denigration of my opinion as a compliment

You’re the most clueless so it sounds like we’re a good match. Has a poster ever been as consistently wrong about everything as you. Maybe @toffeejack but even Damon got more right.

Just watching it now, mate. He runs 15 yards, gets caught ball watching on a 1-2 then ends up on the deck.

Well that’s not quite true is it?

Messi picks it up the ball just outside the centre circle shadowed by mo, plays a one - two with a team mate just outside the penalty area on the right, runs round the back of mo, collects the ball in the centre and slots from the edge of the area while mo falls over the central defender who is attempting one of the most ridiculous tackles you’ll see at this level.

FSS internet killing the art of a good debate.

Disgusting time we live in. Yis should be ashamed.

He is indeed.

Roll the dice, take a chance.

What you dont see with that out of context picture is his Bosnian team mate losing it and him busting a gut over 50 yards to get back to stop messi. Did his best. Its amazing he's even in the frame just a second away from closing the shot down miraculously. When he was nowhere near the break.

First rule of man marking; Never, at any time, find yourself 50 yards away from the man you're marking.

That's 55 yards technically and you know it!

Makes it easy to pull up the blaggers tho.

Too easy.

Moyes signed central defender Per Kaldrop, without doubt the lad was pants. History does not repeat it echoes with the past...

Actually Kroldrup's debut was in pre-season in Austria in a little wine-growing town, the name of which escapes me. (Memorable trip with VIP hospitality to which the travelling Blues duly invited themselves, but that's another story!) Big Per Kroldrup strode up from defence like some Scandinavian love-child of Franz Beckenbauer and Alan Hansen, exchanged a 1-2, then another, and with languid composure chipped the ball over the keeper and into the net for the Blues' opener in a 9-0 rout.

I know this because I turned to my mate, showing my impeccable footballing savvy, saying 'He's going to be some player'. We were standing on the touchline (the rest of our fans were still in the bar!) and Kroldrup towered over every other player on that pitch. He looked as though he'd been carved from Danish granite. Cue his (much delayed) league debut in the Villa Park horror show, when you could see the panic all over his face confronted with an aerial bombardment, and Moyes, and every Evertonian there, just knew he wasn't up to it. I hadn't seen someone so scared of the ball since primary school. Amazing when you think about the career he had! But, in my book his display that day ranks with Glenn Keeley's as the worst Everton debut I've seen.

Kroldrup actually turned out to have a pretty solid career after us. Watched him a few times in Serie A, as you said just not suited to the premier league.

Godfrey looked absolutely useless on his first start, but hea been boss since

 

[Dymak]

I think Arteta's debut was as a sub away at Southampton in 2005? The game when Marcus Bent scored a screamer in the last minute. I thought he looked a bit poor on the day, and I now consider him the best Everton player of this millennium.
