He has not really had a run in the team and as such not much of a chance to show if he really can do a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 So depressing on Saturday that the best option we had from the bench was to bring dowell on. And then josefzoon. Don’t worry guys, we’re saved, the super subs have got this covered. Shows how poor our squad is at the moment that that’s all we have to offer from the bench. What makes it worse is that Dowell had to fill the hole left by Mount. The difference in class is a chasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be on to something. Heard a few people talking about a bust up between him and another player, cant remember who though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't that bad to be fair! We were a relegation threatened team then, i'm pretty sure it was the same season Leon Osman (one of the best loans) was here and Huddlestone was decent at Centre Half - maybe that's an idea? ?

On paper Dowell will tick lots of boxes. Played for his country at U21’s regular, had a good spell at Forest, half decent at Sheff U. Maybe he’s disappointed in being nowhere near the Everton squad? You can scout all you want, but if the confidence is low and the attitude isn’t right it’s going to fail. That's what I thought the other day. Maybe he rocked up at Everton's preseason thinking "This is it, I'm gonna break through this season", played as hard as he could in friendlies, only to be told by Silva that he was going out on loan again. There's two things a player can do in such a situation, knuckle down and play as well as you can, or toss it off. From his body language, and application since he got here, it looks like Mr Dowell chose the latter. Which is laughable, because even though Everton have been pretty pants all season, he'd be around 7th choice at best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberram Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Didn't spot the arrow over the head of Dowell, I was looking further away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd ace the Beckenbauer role. Pity he cannot head it and he has no pace, correction mobility, then he'd be a great passing central defender.
