Turkish Posted 1 February, 2022 Share Posted 1 February, 2022 I reckon he’ll do well at Everton. He’s a good player but had a rough few seasons, get him playing again regularly enjoying his football he’ll be back to his best. Good move for him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiberalCommunist Posted 1 February, 2022 Share Posted 1 February, 2022 Had we negotiated with Levy for that deal, we'd owe them £20M and they'd have had Salisu off us. Lets calm down and see how he does at the dugouts. I think it would have been a massive risk, one that I'm pleased we didn't take. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess he will start well, couple of goals and then get back to how he has performed recently at Spurs in a matter of weeks, especially if Everton keep performing shite.

CB Fry Posted 2 February, 2022 Share Posted 2 February, 2022 I see that Alli and Lampard's first league game is away at Newcastle so a perfect time for a bit of new-manager bounce and new-lease-of-life player to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiberalCommunist Posted 2 February, 2022 Share Posted 2 February, 2022 That is the greatest first game any football fan could have hoped for. Lets hope that they both damage each other in the fight, and the best team draw! 😁 I can't wait!!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant wait to see Frank Lampards Everton take on Steve Gerrards Villa side.

At the risk of taking the thread completely off track, Sven tried to fit the players he had to a pre-defined formation. Any half-decent manager would have adjusted his formation to put the best players in the team - probably using wing-backs and a midfield three of lampard, gerrard and scholes. Back in 1966 Sir Alf gave up on wingers in the group stages and went for a midfield diamond with overlapping full backs because that worked best with the players he had. We all know how that turned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know how that turned out arguably Capello was even worse, the performances under him were embarassing at time. 2010 world cup was awful, coming second in the group only winning one game and then being served up be Germany with a performance that showed how far behind we were the top European teams. People slag off Southgate but compared to these superstar managers he's done an amazing job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 8 February, 2022 Share Posted 8 February, 2022 (edited) Significantly to blame for Newcastle's second goal. Doesn't look very fit and basically no defensive work ethic on show. Edited 8 February, 2022 by Saint86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad would have been realising that he'd totally lost his way, while we were paying his wages. While playing for another club in a relegation scrap with them paying his wages? A bit less. 🙂 I hope his dreadful performances continue and that he's in their starting XI every week, rather than admiring their famous dugouts from a seat in one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad in a sense a silly young bloke who has lost his way and possibly hasn't realised how short a professional football career is. Yes he will be extremely wealthy, ya di ya di ya, but that doesn't compensate for lost opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alli had a very poor game in his Everton debut, so much so that one Everton fan made a comparison to another player with a very similar name, whose one and only appearance for Saints was so bad it has become the stuff of legend - and not just among our own fans it seems.

Not, but it's not unreasonable to expect people to comment on this thread after his first game since his move. I watch Everton a lot these days due to the family connection, and it will be interesting to see just how well he does so I can make my own mind up whether or not the reservations people had about him potentially signing for us were justified. I saw nothing in his performance last night to suggest my concerns about his work rate and thus his suitability to fit into our system were unwarranted, but time will tell I guess.
