Everton player ratings vs Wolves

Your player ratings with no real feel for us will be ignored by most of us;

I know you mean well, but, erm, ,,

'the extravaganza of the first 45 minutes'

And, WTF,

Jake O’Brien – 6 - erm 8

Jesper Lindstrom 7 – erm 5

Jack Harrison – 8 LLOLLOL 5

Jarrad Branthwaite – 5 - 6/7

AND ERM MOM GUEYE who was yours?

Please stop giving us your player ratings because you have no skill or knowledge to do so.

I am far too critical: for me, they all start on a 3 and maybe get to 4 or 5 if they actually do anything worthwhile…

Alcaraz was my MotM with a 6 for the only moment of decent footballing skill on offer all night. But then he spoilt it by shooting straight at Sa when a little more guile was needed.

Most of the others I'd give a 5 to.

Nobody was absolutely horrendous, but nobody was anything better than a 5.

We looked a far greater threat when Charly came on — which is pretty much what we expected.

If Anjishnu didn't write this then no one would and player ratings – like when Paul Trail has done them – have always been debated in the comments sections.

I'm just grateful Anjishnu is taking the time and effort to write these articles.

My MotM was Gueye, he was everywhere, although he did commit some silly fouls.

It was like watching a Dyche game, pumping the ball upfield with no pace whatsoever.

Alcaraz should have come on far earlier for Doucoure who was non-existent. Beto was literally on his own again.

Gueye was as good as anybody and better than most but Alcaraz looked a cut above the rest when he came on.

Just one further comment in that I'm glad TW is alive and well after the recent changes. All the usual suspects still posting, which is great to see and read.

I thought the goal was more a team lack of focus rather than the contribution of a player mistake. This is known as a weak area after scoring.

Anyone can give an opinion, if you agree or not that's up to you. No need to be rude mate.

On saying that… Some of your marks are way off in my opinion, and I agree with PF on that score.

I also agree with him that Gana Gueye, whilst not at his best, was MotM. Special mention too for Jake O'Brien, who is fast becoming my new personal favourite and could be our next Seamus – must be an Irish thing…

Can't wait to see Alcaraz and Ndiaye in the same team, possibly with Dwight McNeil all supplying and playing of a rejuvenated and re-motivated Calvert-Lewin.

And those who see the ghost of Dyche in even that poor performance yesterday have got short memories. We still showed much more attacking intent than under him.

I thought Gana was by far our best player in an uninspiring game of football. When I look back, £7m off the then relegated Aston Villa measured against the value he's added over the seasons in some poor Everton teams in difficult times speaks volumes.

Branthwaite wasn't at the consistent standard we've become accustomed to by the expectation he has set. But one game shouldn't judge any player. He's a star and one for the future.

And when General Tarkowski starts feeling the legs, I look forward was to seeing O'Brien alongside Jarrad.

By the way, for a moment, I thought Tarkowski was going to go all Duncan Ferguson on that Wolves striker last night!!

O’Brien - 8

Tarks - 6

Branners - 6

Myko - 6

Gana - 7

Garner - 6

Lindstrom - 4

Doucoure- 3

Harrison - 4

Beto - 2

Alcaraz - 6

Tim - 4

Leicester and spurs both losing. God is a Blue.

You’re welcome.

Modern Football Suppresses Emotion…

”They” are using the worlds biggest sport as a tool to suppresses the masses emotions.

But often the job is to trigger response. Positive or negative hardly matters...both are readers.

So well done Anjishnu Roy with the first response!

The game.

Bit dull but we are all a bit like kiddies after Dyche era.

Player of the match?

Oh who cares. Team game.

aa

Still it could be worse - I remember listening to the Howard Winston v Salvadar fight in the '60s. It was some meatball called Raymond Glendening I think was commentating and had Winston an odds on winner according to his card – only to find that his card bore no relation to reality.

Do we have the same problem here, Houston?

I believe Raymond Glendenning was something of a BBC legend. Horse racing commentary and a big black mustache.

Beto has missed a few chances recently yet his attitude remains exemplary. Can he have more than one number?

I was at Palace and I can't recall seeing a player – for any team – work harder than Beto did that day. He knows his own limitations and his attributes. We need to support the latter whilst acknowledging the former.

He'll score again – my guess is that will come just when Broja or Calvert-Lewin are on the cusp – and that will challenge Moyes.

Pickford made two excellent saves and we're in danger of taking his seemingly endless ability to do this for granted.

Alcaraz also looks like he could be a star turn.

Given the position a couple of months ago, Moyes and his players have done a remarkable job.

Raymond Glendening was very famous in his day as a radio commentator after the war until the early sixties he was involved in horse racing, as you say, but better known for his boxing, football, including many FA Cup Finals, and tennis commentaries and his huge moustache!

Agree though, I was harsh and in a bit of a strump/strop for another reason, so my apologies to Anjishnu.

Pickford 6 O'Brien 8 Branthwaite 6 (7?) Tarkowski 7 Mylolenko 6 Gana 8 (MotM) Garner 6 Lindstrom 4 Harrison 5 Doucoure 5 Beto 5
