✍️The skewed perception of player development in football

📄A think piece on factors that I think have led people to look at player development in a too linear fashion and why these factors have caused this viewpoint to form

Dibling, Barry, George? Mr Moyes you have my attention

I am once again asking for the manager to be sacked

[Cal @Cal1878]

@ollie_shapiro Like he had cement blocks on his feet

[Cal @Cal1878]

Norgaard with one of the worst debuts of all time here

[Cal @Cal1878]

Brilliant stuff this, keeping has always needed more in depth statistics

[Gradient Sports @Gradient_Sports]

Goalkeepers are still mostly judged on clean sheets, xG prevented and save %.

It’s about time we brought more goalkeeping metrics into the media and onto broadcasts. 🧤📊

Thierno Barry vs Hull city (11/10/26)

It’s coming— movement has majorly improved, hence why he’s getting more chances, he should’ve finished at least one* more yesterday and that criticism is understandable. But his success aerially is underrated and his b2g is also much better.

[Cal @Cal1878]

😂😂, just the 25 goals from Lukaku in his last season at Everton. That’s the benchmark for a striker in his second season of prem football and was playing at Basel a few years ago. Sound

[Tom Long @ScoutTom_]

I find the Thierno Barry discourse misses the bigger picture.

Lukaku is the benchmark for what Everton should be aiming for in a centre forward. Barry deserves our support, but that doesn't mean lowering our expectations.

The wider issue is that we haven't recruited a striker close to Lukaku's level since. Whether it's Barry, Beto or Calvert-Lewin, that's the standard Everton should be trying to reach again.

[Cal @Cal1878]

Unfortunately I do think the yanks have a star on their hands

If Deulofeu could run for 90 minutes his career would’ve been insanely different, would’ve been one of the top creators in the league, insane cross on him

[Will 🇬🇧🇪🇺🌹 @will_is_ginger]

Average players I think would have been world class if their career had gone slightly differently.

1. Dan James
2. Allain Saint-Maximan
3. Adama Traore
4. Danny Ings
5. Sebastian Coates
6. James Ward-Prowse
7. Gerard Deulofeu
8. Jack Wilshire
9. Marko Arnautovic
10. Ryan Fraser

Whittaker gets absolutely murdered by Bivol, it could get messy

[Cal @Cal1878]

Sick to death of this now, look at the last time we spent money etc etc. we spent money badly last time, no one is asking for that.

Frustration stems from looking at teams like Leeds who have come into the league with a clear game plan and are set to leapfrog us

[EFC DAILY @EFCdaily_]

Be careful what you wish for. What do you want a phone call from them to tell you everything is ok? Or do you want a beautiful stadium and a great running business. The football is going well and there is a representative from TFG at every game. Football is now a business, look at Tottenham after spending over £300m and the difficulties they are having. I remember when everyone was asking for investment when Bill was here, look what happened then - @Tim_Cahill via @bbcmerseysport @GiuliaBould

[Cal @Cal1878]

Dibling been quality tonight, taking men out of the game with his dribbling and his weight of pass has been great.

More minutes for Dibling please Mr Moyes

[Cal @Cal1878]

Love this, we need to get him developed. He’s the future

[Everton Academy @EvertonAcademy]

Everton Under-21s goalkeeper Douglass Lukjanciks has signed for Southport on a short-term loan deal. ✍️

All the best, Doug! 👊

[Cal @Cal1878]

Hackney was brilliant when he came on, brings so much when he has the ball at his feet. Always looking forwards, really nice to watch

[Cal @Cal1878]

Right then so we have one LB, a RB who hates the position and one singular striker who the manager doesn’t even like.

This is the worst window of my lifetime

[Cal @Cal1878]

Can he play right back?

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🇵🇹 Renato Sanches’ contract has been terminated tonight as Paris Saint-Germain let the midfielder leave on a free.

Sanches will be available as free agent. 👀

@lufcBen_ We’re ending up with no Ndiaye and Zirkzee. What a CEO we have

[Cal @Cal1878]

Well done Kinnear, you’ve smashed it

[Cal @Cal1878]

@lufcBen_ How he made it out Leeds alive I’ll never know
