AndrewK Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I noticed Lukas Jutkiewicz got 17 minutes in Everton's latest friendly.... Lukas Glad to see the big guy get some game time, but for purely selfish reasons I hope he doesnt get much more and impress Moyes In all seriousness though, all the best to the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I noticed Lukas Jutkiewicz got 17 minutes in Everton's latest friendly.... Lukas For some reason I won't be too upset if he doesn't play in a 'well shirt again because he's breaking into the Everton first team. I'd love to see him do well.

'WellCobra Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Anyone got any ideas on who the players could be? Im kinda hoping the sunderland boy is this one: http://www.safc.com/page/ReserveSquadProfi...2051798,00.html Definately fits the bill of players we're looking for, quick, scores goals....could be a decent wee player for us!

David Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 That game tonight highlighted the need for a decent striker. The amount of chances we squandered was criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 That game tonight highlighted the need for a decent striker. The amount of chances we squandered was criminal. I thought it highlighted that we need a creative player to supply our current strikers who all to often were the guys putting the crosses in for the many chances that were missed. Sutton and Murphy were doing far too much of the supply work, leaving us stretched for players in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Last night highlighted we need a striker, creative player and a box to box midfielder. Replacements for Juke, O'Brien & Coke basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONeils40yarder Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 A striker is a necessity, and should be our priority. The Juke would've scored a 1st half hat-trick last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxywell Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 anyone think we should try humphrey as a forward?he's quick and direct and would cause defences more probs up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewK Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 anyone think we should try humphrey as a forward?he's quick and direct and would cause defences more probs up front. He seemed to drift up front at times last night, maybe trying to drop a hint <_> Also noticed he seemed to have a bit more luck when he cut inside, something i cant say I've seen him do before.

Wellfan1984 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 The only problem about him cutting inside is he doesn't have a left foot. A Right foot winger, cutting inside from the right side is useless unless he plays left wing (works well for Spain when they play Villa there <_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think it would take more than one game against St. Mirren to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think it would take more than one game against St. Mirren to judge. You weren't there. You didnt see how dire he actually was.

weeyin Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 You weren't there. You didnt see how dire he actually was. That is pure speculation - you have no idea which games I attended last season, but regardless..Saying that, admitedly the whole team were shite that night, including the manager.... that was exactly my point. Judging any player in a shite game against St Mirren is pointless. We haven't turned in many decent performances against that shower in the last few seasons.

Big Stall Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 That is pure speculation - you have no idea which games I attended last season, but regardless.. Just like nam, you weren't there dude, you werent there! I can't be arsed but I would bet a hefty chunk that were I to dig through the archives and find the match thread, you will have been posting from across the pond. Put quite simply, Humphrey was atrocious in that position. Add into the fact that in all the games I have watched him in (which is far more that you will have seen ) the one thing he is even worse at than crossing, is getting his foot through the ball. Now being able to hit a shot is a key skill for an attacker so I would quite happily say no. Keep him on the wing to try and stretch the game. I should point out though that I do think there would be merit on standing him on the half way line when we are defending corners, any big punt up the park with him running onto it would have an opposition defence in disarray. Full time upfront - no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewK Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Fair enough putting him on the half way line, but I wouldnt expect him to win much. He would come up against a defender and shit out of the tackle, as he usually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postiejim Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Got to agree with big stall on his view of Humphrey ,if the guy cant cross a ball now he never will ,hope he proves us wrong and nae harm to the guy but its like playing with a man short when he plays.

johnstone Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Humphrey put in a few decent crosses last night and was keeping their left back busy for the first half. I agree his game is limited, but given time to settle into the squad he will come good. He never really got a decent run the in the team last term.

Big Stall Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Im not suggesting we punt him or anything. All im saying is he shouldnt be played upfront. Personally I'de have him as an impact sub, and bring him on to play on the right wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
