Can someone tell me what Macallister does because I've been watching him a while and am convinced he adds nothing to our midfield. His positioning is good but his tackling and defending is awful he is so weak it's pointless and he adds nothing going forward. He is easily our most upgradeable midfielder out of the starting 3. Can anyone make me see any different?
{Ed025's Note - hes a good acrobat though Slimz, he done a triple lutz with 2 twists and a forward roll when Tarks hit him mate.. :)

I’m just surprised that we have soo many crap players and still top the league by 12 points. Amazing!
{Ed025's Note - your players are not crap Irish it fact they are pretty good, its the rest of the supposedly big teams that are bang average imo..

For me mac is an excellent player and I'm delighted we have him. Works hard, good on the ball not afraid to receive in tight areas, can score a goal, can play him as 6,8 r 10 so gives u versatility in midfield area. Tough as well, don't think I've ever seen a player on the end of as many bad tackles as him. most importantly he nearly always available, v seldom injured.
I think the big flaw in his game is his lack of pace, in league like prem with big quick players he struggles against that. To get the best out of him I think u need a really physical, hard running workaholic type player to play with him in midfield. I. e caicedo.

Do you think we will be top of the league next season with the same set of “world class players” @Irish.

AB = Harry alert.
It appears he has now started taking his user names from the golden era of Bollywood ??.

Hard to say Amitabh. People had us dropping out of the top 4 with the squad we have at the beginning of the season so anything is possible. In any case, we already know that we won't have the same squad as this season at least since Trent is 99% leaving us.

Crazy how many new usernames pop up just to slate a player.
05 Apr 2025 14:07:47
If Mac wasn't there we would miss him like we missed Gini.

Who said they were World Class?
05 Apr 2025 14:33:20
I agree with one thing, he is probably the most upgradable out of the usual starting 3 midfielders we have.
However, I don’t really get the negativity, maybe watch him a bit closer? I don’t think he’s world class by any means but he’s solid enough most weeks and I wouldn’t be looking to upgrade anytime soon to be honest. We’ve got some big gaps to fill in the squad already so I’d be focusing on left back, striker and right back (if Trent is going)

Ed I appreciate it's banter on your part but if tarkowski had his other foot planted when he went to leave something on macca, Mac allister would have had his leg snapped in two and would probably be out for a year simply because of that malicious assault, it was a seriously mean spirited thing for tarkowski to do, hopefully there weren't any Everton fans celebrating that after the fact, or Pickford very intentionally hacking Darwin down late in the game.
{Ed025's Note - but in the end none of them got hurt mate. If my mother was my brother and all that ..

Ed if your mother was your brother then you’re definitely a Everton fan born and bred.
{Ed025's Note - that’s a fair assumption JK.. ?

If Real Madrid offer £75m for Mac A then I’d have to consider it.
05 Apr 2025 15:08:49
Hope Macs plan is not to run his contract down so Real get another 'freebie'

The Tark tackle was a red. End of story.
