Only realised he was playing with around 10 minutes to go as someone else pointed him out.

This is the opening two paragraphs from Evertons BHA v EFC match thread.
"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!!!
And finally our Annuruss Decemberus begins to turn, our 2nd away game finds Marcos banter merchants looking for a quick fire away win double. Of course 1 game doesnt mean everything is all good in the world, but it certainly helps right lads and lasses?
Personally I think these are in a very false position, fresh off the back of 3 defeats on the run and currently losing to Arsenal, can see them getting dragged into a scrap for safety near the end of the season, but thats enough about these utter no marks."
Yet another example of the tendency of established commentators (be they fans, pundits, journos) to patronise ‘newbies’. Let’s face it, these guys get a nosebleed coming to London,let alone another 50 miles southwards. They have no empathy with a club that has made it through the ranks, and why would they? Their focus is on joining the big boys,and given their history and backing, that is to be expected.
I thought we got used to it in Championship as one of the few clubs that had not played in PL so how dare we be anywhere near promotion.
We earn our spurs by what happens on the pitch. Continue doing it and we shall get the respect. If we are relegated, take solace from the fact that we shall be first on Sky TV the following season.

In the first half I looked at the Everton team on the big screen and saw Walcotts' name, that was the first time I realised he was playing. I then spent the next few minutes trying to spot him an the pitch

Got nothing against Walcott particularly, and I think he has a fair share of goals against us. But the only thing I remember of him today was when he sliced the ball out for a corner. I wouldn't take him over any of our wingers.

gather his team mates suffer a similar problem.
i jest of course, good player with unrealistic expections from the start of his career, great pace and instinct without great awareness or thought.

Very hot and cold. Bernardo shut him down.
There are very different types of wingers and have to play to their strengths if want them to excel.

Took me half an hour to notice he was on the pitch. Very ineffective.

He was the one Bernardo made look an idiot on a number of occasions.

Agreed I noticed he made some good runs off the ball, I thought he looked pissed off he wasn't picked out on at least one occasion.
Him and Lennon are the most frustrating players in recent times for England.
Never kicked on and ended up being meh
Someone like Jose?
Maybe I'm being wooshed here but you stated on another thread you didn't go
Nah. I just tell the kids on here what they want to hear. It's fun. Been a season ticket holder ever since the Amex was built.
