Players that are simply not good enough

[SoccerHQ]

McGinn was our most hard working player tonight, he shouldn’t be on this list. Luiz hasnt turned up since Xmas, but has been our outstanding performer in some periods of last season and earlier this season and again shouldn’t be on this list.
If you’d run this list this time last year, my guess is Targett and Konsa would of been on it.

Yep.

Do think going forward McGinn's place will be vulnerable but don't see it for next season.

We know our issues, just have to go big or scout very well on a productive winger and get in another top class forward to help out Jack.

As frustrating as this season is turning out to be, we were playing some good stuff not so long ago and we know the defence can generally be relied upon now so the starting points are there but we need way more match winning quality in final third than we have.

Didn't like Trez starting at all and he played exactly like he's played for most of last two months. He helped keep us up and played alright start of the season so we've got decent use out of him but one of those we need to move on in the summer to create more space for a top level right sided player from somewhere.

[OzVilla]

We need a top, top quality winger, centre forward and a creative midfielder. All 3 need to be of the highest quality we can possibly get for a club in our position, maybe even better if Purslow can do the right sales pitch.

Bin off Taylor, Trez, AEG, Davis, Hourihane and Elmo. Might bring in $35 million. Bring back Guillbert from loan and promote more squad time to some of our youth players that we hear raps about.

I'm comfortable keeping the rest.

If we randomly signed Giroud and Riyad Mahrez this summer we'd be top 6 no problem, perhaps even top 4 if our backline posts similar stats next season.

When I think of the type of proven winners in this league in positions we're a little short those names spring to mind and not impossible both will be available in the summer.

Just don't think we're anywhere near that level yet to attract those types until we actually start doing it whenever.

Even then Everton have multiple CL winning manager in charge and signed lots of top level players over last two years and they still probably won't even finish top 6 so even then it's not certain.

We need to at least attempt to try getting in at least one high standard attacking player while Jack remains here though otherwise it's yet another in long line of what ifs from last 20 years.

The entire midfield.

There's no way any of them should be automatic starters next season. McGinn, brilliant in the championship, has he done it in the Premier League? Not consistently for me. Luiz is invisible. Traore hugely more miss than hit. Trezeguet a hardworking, thick, donkey. El Ghazi shoots a lot but runs very hot and cold.

Sell Trezeguet, improve on the other 4 and try to have them as squad players rather than starters if we are to move to top 6-8.

AEG
Sanson
Barkley
Taylor
Elmo
Traore
Trez

[OzVilla]

I really think Sanson needs time to adjust to a new league before making any sort of call.  He's come into a team that's not clicking totally cold. A bit like Luiz last year he'll be a lot better next season for the run out this year and seeing where he needs to improve, get stronger, fitter etc. 

I also think Traore will be the one to keep out of him, AEG and Trez. 

[Ian.]

Here we go again, a player playing a start for a handful of times is written off. Do we not ever learn?

Sanson is a good player let’s let hims settle in first.

[sid1964]

For me - we need to look at the subs, just not good enough

At the end of this season every position in the team needs to be looked to see who we can bring in that is better than we currently have, and we have to get rid of quite a few

Targett certainly would have been. I think most of us were on the fence with Konsa.

Sanson hasn't had the greatest of starts but seeing his name on this thread is a bit mad.

[Sexual Ealing]

Bowery isn't good enough for us.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Neither is Bacuna.

[Drummond]

Christ, this is embarrassing.

[Risso]

No way would Konsa have been on the list. He started last year as understudy to Mings and Engels, but then after the covid restart was probably our best player, as he has been this season.

[Clampy]

Regarding Sanson, it's early days and we definatley shouldnt be writing him off (although the usual impatient among us no doubt will and already have) but I'm trying to work out what type of midfider he is. Is he defensive, attacking? He seems to be a mix of both.

[mr underhill]

AEG, Trez, Engles, Davis , Elmo, Taylor, Connor should be certainties to go either because they are out of contract or not good enough or a mix of both.
