If you come off the bench 25 times a season, you're not likely to score many goals. Sturridge has 106 career goals in 16224 minutes - that's a goal every 153 minutes. Remove his 1 great season, and you get a goal every 167 minutes. Just for perspective... Greizmann scores every 192 minutes Benzema scores every 145 minutes Diego Costa scores every 188 minutes I don't think the issue is whether he can put the ball in the net, it's whether you can get him on the pitch. I do agree with you regarding his interest in playing too, I don't think he's fussed, and I don't blame him. Injuries are shit, he's rich, why risk affecting his health more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Shotton is the worst footballer I have ever seen in my life. He can't do anything right. Even the most old school can head a bloody ball. Can't even do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His father probably didnt help that much. Tom is a footballer nobody would have ever heard of without his dad.

Stoke signed him for 10m rising to 12. Huddersfield signed him for similar so another average player who has gone for stupid transfer fees in last 5 years. He did show promise a while ago at Blackpool. Didn't he turn down likes of Monaco around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zatman Posted August 23, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) I have seen Bacuna, Gardner, Herd, Westwood all put in crap midfield performances but never have I seen one as bad as Andre Gomes tonight. Looked like he was on the piss all day Edited August 23, 2019 by Zatman 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I don’t think I’ve ever seen André Gomes do anything on a football pitch, other than looking like an Ancient demigod of the sulky variety. This includes his time playing in some fairly decent Barcelona teams. How he has tricked the football world into paying him millions is beyond my comprehension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I'm sure Andre Gomes must be at least a decent footballer some of the time, but he really was shocking tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 +1 Andre Gomes But special mention to Theo Walcott, who was exactly the player I wanted that cross to drop to, unmarked, in our box, for the equaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I know he was having a bad game but it looked like he was being forced against his will to play for Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Knew nothing about Gomes, just read his wiki page. When he signed for Barca it says he was awarded worst signing of season... looks like he carried that in for Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Calvert Lewin, another in a long line of strikers who 'don't score goals'. Utterly pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 In terms of reputation, De Gea. Routinely let's in soft goals and is labelled "world class". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
