Louis Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 It's only a rumour [not the choking/punching Moyes but drinking before a game]... he could be back for the next game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 If it's true and he did hit him, at least it was a shot on target, I suppose. Laughing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton_Worshiper Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 AVM, Zinedine Kilbane, Blomqvist, Tal, Ginola, Alexandersson, Watson I can only think of one, it's sad how little with bought to try sort the wings out Kanchelskis.

Romey 1878 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I haven't been all that impressed with Drenthe but I hope it's not true, we can't afford to lose players. I have found it very strange that nothing has been mentioned about his injury by Moyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Been reading up about synergy, and a lot of what we are seeing in terms of predictability, lack of invention etc is down to the lack of synergy within the coaching staff and the players. Synergy as an example would be Lennon and McCartney, individually talented but different styles, combined they were explosive. If they were the same the music would have had a shorter life span, been predictable, as opposites it gave them longevity, creativity. Where does this fit in with Everton? We are solid defensively 99% of the time - our coaches and management are defensive by nature. If we have an attack minded coach would there be friction? maybe, they can put that aside and find a happy medium to make that work. It is clear we lack goals and the reasons are pretty evident. Why am I posting this in the drenthe thread? He gives us what we haven't got, unpredicatbility, flair, a lack of positional discipline. We need him to make the components work though - too much of the same is not a good mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Royston Drenthe: 396 minutes, 2 goals, 3 assists Seamus Coleman: 900 minutes, 0 goals, 0 assists Diniyar Bilyaletdinov: 434 minutes, 0 goals, 1 assist I think it's pretty obvious we need Drenthe to play so whatever the reason is he's not, it needs to be solved.

A valid point to make is that Drenthe has been the only one who has had a real element of constructive criticism also... If I was him would I be happy about that? Not so sure. It certainly wasn't right to be aired to the press. My way of handling him would be "Royston, you have been an immense addition to our attacking options, great stuff, need you to show a little more in the way of getting back but i'm really pleased with you" Against Arsenal I witnessed Billy pulling out of a 60/40 in his favour, I have witnessed coleman give the ball away numerous times also. I think Drenthe is the type of player who needs to feel the love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Mentioned on twitter that he is going for a scan on his knee and that it doesnt look hopeful... I think we really could be in trouble now, he wasnt a world beater but his first thought was to attack and he had good movement. Two things we distinctly lack.

Sibdane Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I see he prefers to play right so he can cut in a shoot/take on the fullback. If he was a better shot then I'd say play him there. However, the left side needs him since we don't have too many options. His pace has already determined that he's a winger for me.

Dalziel Kane Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Im trying to link the words winger and moyes, having a little trouble. a bit like Benitez and full back. Seriously, I can't recall the last time we had a winger that could pin a full back and provide endless opportunities. Drenthe is the only one under moyes. Right mid if saha plays (he can drop and provide decoy runs. 1-2's) left if vellios plays (get ball in the box) It'd be easier to link the words Ginger and Moyes and make some progress really.. Just to answer the authors questions again Drenthe could ideally play in either a defensive or forward position if needs be but seems best suited to a midfield space, I haven't seen him live yet since his loan move and hope to get up to Goodison again before end of season to watch the team play once more, I honestly aren't aware of any altercation with the manager, I don't believe there's any substance to it, just one of those misplaced rumors that always flies around, from what I've seen on TV of Drenthe, he looks a useful player and will still have something to add you would think before his loan deal ends, we have Donovan coming back next month too to bump up the midfield department albeit only for six-eight weeks or so, Grand Old Team will be pleased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Royston Drenthe want to stay at Everton permanently - " I feel at home here, it's like a family " @SkySports #EFC He said that in an interview weeks ago. Not sure it's new news to be honest. And Patto, I think once we get sorted we'll get the best out of Drenthe, and he will be a great acquisition should it happen.

marcopaulo Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 agree with av..disjointed team..lack of confidence..it can't help anyone to settle in...also he's been on and off with fitness lately..he's unpredictable though and can make things happen..i'd rather have him wasting the ball tryin to do summat than wastin it like neville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 time will tell,the injurys are another problem we never seem to know whats wrong with him he plays one game then hes out moyes has said hes likely to only play in home games,so i cant see moyes signing him,dont get me wrong i hope hes a big success but i cant really see it. It's definitely odd, but the speculation doesn't help the situation. It's a funny relationship fans have. They obviously care dearly about 'everything' yet get to know about 'nothing'. That kind of underlines things for fans who think it's 'their' club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
