Marc Albrighton

[Les-TA-Jon]

His footwork looked much sharper too. A few nice turns and beating his marker

[Foxy-Lady]

One of our best ever signings...Mr Dependable!

Much better when he played on the left, always think he look better on that side.

Yeah he seemed to stop putting those pointless floating crosses for the defence to head away and played several good diaganal passes and switched play effectively. Those crosses just give posession away. it's dated football from ten years ago.

He just more at ease and composed on the left.

I thought Albrighton was good yesterday. I think playing is his preferred position probably helped that. However and this is not a criticism, as a senior player I want to see more from him. In terms of his standing in the squad and the experience he holds at this level, I dont think its unfair to criticise him for some of the decision making before yesterday. I think he is more then capable of adding better decision making to his ability range. I see no reason, with a bit of hard work, why he cannot become our Milner type player. His experience could become a vital part of our squad.

It’s a weird one... he certainly hasn’t got any worse but the team has try to evolve past him which has meant he plays in positions he’s not as comfortable. Yesterday when he went left mid I had forgotten how good he is.

Albrighton amazes me -- every window since Summer 16 (face it, winter 16 with Gray) it seems the manager signs someone to replace him, and he always works his way back into the 11, even with little end product.

15/16 season agrees with you!

[shailen]

I think people underestimate his work rate, closing down and defensive qualities as well as the ability to ping a ball into the box better than probably most in our squad. A great pro and does the dirty side of the game well which allows our more technical players to thrive. 

[Spiritwalker]

I must admit I was disappointed to see him on the team sheet last night but fair play to him

he had a very tidy game.

[weller54]

Love the guy!

Always gives 100%.

We'll all miss him when he inevitably goes... enjoy seeing him play while you can.

[HighPeakFox]

I had to look twice a couple of times last night when he seemed to be chanelling his inner Pirlo.

[knitro]

Hope he stays until he hangs the boots up.

My favourite player in 31 years down the city. 

 

Marc could break into my house. Shit on my dining room table, shag my wife and I'd still ask him for a autograh on his way out! 

[urban fox]

When he is on the left his natural instinct is to turn in which then allows him to ping those long cross field passes and switch the play which can catch defences out. 

He gives us much more alternatives than when playing on the right.

great pro to have around. As others have said, every manager seems to come back to him eventually. He is our mr dependable

On his way out of your wife?😂😂

[Guest Fktf]

Is he injured? Seems to be missing from quite a few line up predictions in the Everton thread.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Every time he gets written off (by fans, that is - and usually on here) he puts some proper shifts in for us.

Excellent professional.

😂😂I meant the house but either if he wanted! 

[Guest Dirkster the Fox]

Played very well on Sunday.  Worked so hard.

 

Albrighton is one of our genuine club legends and could he be our best ever free transfers?

 

Won the Premier League with us and scored our first ever Champions League goal.

Phew! At least I didn't shit on your table 😶

[knitro]

Just when I thought I couldn't like the guy more, he goes ahead and karate kicks Harry Kane. Great game and what a way to earn a yellow
