I still don’t see the hype. He’s stepped up this season but the way they talk about him and the media do is like he’s world class Ronaldo Messi level. he’s a good prem player who isn’t particularly quick but has great ball control and strength but he dives like a bitch all the time. I hate watching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate watching him. I agree with you too - for all the hype around him in an England shirt hes not scored a goal or got an assist yet has he? He's good but another hyped up English player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s quite exciting to watch for me, when was the last player that England had that you felt was exciting to watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 9 June 2021 Share Posted 9 June 2021 Judging from the past few seasons, the Everton job seems like a poisoned chalice; high expectations leading to seemingly failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's that simple in all honesty, there's definitely something more to it. The recruitment has been poor through every manager in recent time now, and money is blindly chucked at the squad. I'd say any manager coming in would have issues with that aspect, as well as the high expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea spent 250m last summer and still only got one more point. Doesn't always work like this. To be honest about 70% of signings don't come off in the first season - look at Werner for example. This is the 'hidden' side of big money spending. It's obligatory to spend huge amounts to retain the attention of the media, the plastic followers and the neutrals. This is the tiger they've chosen to hold the tail of. The media foment this - how many seasons have Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland been on the brink of joining United et al? It often fails, more than it should given the vast amounts. Griezemann and Coutinho have been relative failures at Barca. A point is reached where the law of diminishing returns is inevitably reached. Cloughie knew that a team could be created out of unpromising material - by careful selection of 'components'. No matter how much the media like our image (we'll probably soon get the nickname 'the 5th Placers') of not quite getting there, we know that we outperformed all those clubs which finished ahead of us. The manner in which the team adjusted to injuries to significant players - in spite of a lack of depth in the squad, made Liverpool look like whingers. If you have to do that to save face because all your resources haven't worked then it illustrates that there isn't such a divide. I'm very eager to see how the new signings perform in a squad which will have returned by Christmas (as far as JJ is concerned) to full fitness. Bar Man City I think those CL places won't be as difficult to achieve as some on here believe. Leicester are a transformed club - deference to the big clubs is no longer the name of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at his credentials and they aren’t that impressive… yes in won the Portuguese league but he only took the job in January that year and was sacked after failing the next season. Other than that he was an assistant manager or youth coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay Unfortunately he's failing upwards and will be a designated VAR ref. Worst ref in the league mate. Shame they go up to VAR when they retire from on field now.
