Reminds me of the idiot and his son who sat towards the front of the 3rd tier above the paddock area of GP. Whenever Romaine Sawyers tried a trick in a tight situation or a killer pass that didn't come off or lost a 50/50 challenge, the idiot and his son would shout loudly "Sawyers!" . Never a peep out of them when, as he often did, he produced skills or a killer pass we hadn't seen at GP since the time of Stan Bowles.

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone that has slagged off MJ over the last couple of years. Great use of reverse psychology. All the negative posts have turned him into our most influential player.
Well done lads.
Can you all now move on to Wissa. 3 months of abuse should get him up to scratch.

Really don't want to get into another Jensen debate as the result today was not due to Jensen but by noting he 'bossed' it second half means he didn't in the first half and I felt that is where we didn't win the game. We just simply overall/ collectively not good enough in the first half.

Were you at the Brentford match yesterday?

Strongly disagree, we had enough chances first half to have been out of sight and if we’d converted we’d be saying it was a great performance.
We restricted them to very few clear cut chances and we played some lovely football at times. They were busy in midfield where they worked incredibly hard to stop us playing but we always looked the side trying to play the football and most likely to score.

It's undoubtedly the case that Jensen has improved his defensive involvement. Credit to the management and him. They've obviously worked on it.

I think the high press and recovery was worked on last season but given much more emphasis this. It's clear that Jensen is the 'leader', so when he goes it triggers the others to follow (and mainly they do). He's much more conspicuous in these actions, which have lead to him being in the top 3 for tackles and usually top for pressing.

Think he's really benefited by having some time off this summer. last summer he was in the Euro's then got injured meaning he had little time off and no pre season, and I think he had covid not too long after coming back into the team (I could be wrong there as don't remember every player that caught it) and of course the summer before he, like the rest of the team, only had like 10 days between the playoff final and the start of pre-season.

Think just having a little break and a full pre-season has done him the world of good and he's hoping he carries on like he's started this season coz he can be a real joy to watch at times (despite what the miserable ****s around me in the North Stand may think and say)

Yes.

Creating chances doesn’t always mean we played well. We should have been 2-1/ 3-1 up at least at HT for sure and no debate about that. I just felt we were rather slow to get going and we weren’t at our best in the first half. That’s is way I saw the first hand pan out against a relative poor side

For the second half Everton just sat back and invited the pressure from us and eventually we got the goal we deserved with our dominant second half display. We didn’t have in my opinion any stand out player that was 8/9 out of 10 yesterday. Many 7s and 6s.

Agree that lots of 7’s but I thought it was a very good team performance and the result didn’t match the performance.
The fact they had one shot on goal when we were missing both our two first choice centre backs and we were the team playing far better, passing football that on another day would have seen a comfortable win.
The performance is often more telling than the result and while I don’t think have the perfect formation yet home or away, I think we’re getting close to giving someone a really good hiding

No disagreement about restricting them with our makeshift defence and that we should have got/deserved 3 points. We'll play worse and get 3 points in some games, but there won't be many we get 58% of possession in. Too wasteful.

Equally, I think we should recognise how poor Everton were and are. Maupay will give them something extra up front, but if Gordon goes and no-one else comes in, I reckon they're down there with Bournemouth.

Good player. Now given much more licence to roam and create havoc. Not sure about the barnet though. Flash Gordon.

No argument, still think for us to have both centre backs missing and not be troubled virtually all game is impressive.

Spot on. Everton were at the best..very average. We played ok in parts.
No big deal. We should of won but everyone gets them days
On another note I will never sit in the East stand again. I was a few feet away from the away supporters. I took it for 80 minutes. I apologised to the people around me when we scored and gave to them. I don't like being that close unless it's outside the ground.

Anyone else find it really weird his he's got such a good long throw.

He is literally the last person in the squad I'd have thought pre-season could launch it towards the penalty spot.

It's Delapesque

He's been playing well this season too which is good to see

I was utterly surprised too. First time I saw him prepare for a long throw I was in disbelief and feared the worst. ?
As it turns out he has an EXCELLENT long throw, who would have thought!!

As already pointed out by others, credit to MJ and the coaches for this new attribute to his game as well as his pressing, set pieces and leadership. All which have seen obvious improvement.

Most improved player this season by a country mile!

Another goal from a Jensen corner on Saturday btw. Thats happened in 3 out of 4 league games now.

Better than the other Danish guy we had taking corners last year IMO.

One of the corners was taken by Bryan (v Man Utd), but get your point.

He took a corner in the first half which had so much dip and inswinging swerve that it would have the TMS team proclaiming an unplayable delivery. Top class!

Another really good performance from MJ. Winning headers, intricate passing, long balls and pressing like a wild man.

Lets not go over the top, although there is no doubt he has firmly stepped up a gear this season.

He is becoming first name on team sheet after Toney and Rico of outfield players. Midfield built around him and makes us tick over.
 

Mathias Jensen

He had a very decent game.
Very.
But...the stats don't lie...we once again pick up more points on pitch when he's off the pitch than when he's on it :/
 

Mathias Jensen

Extremely good performance.

As usual we played through him in midfield, but we also relied on him to press aggressively off the ball and to drop into the left side of defence to assist Henry with Olise / free him up to make runs forward.

He was absolutely everywhere as a result and did those jobs well. Looked a little tired just before being subbed and misplaced a couple of passes, but understandable.

Your point is?

Comment on his performance tonight not his performance last season.

Bit weird.

Can you share the stats you mention? How many points do we win in games that he starts Vs not?
We should be excited by the quality of our bench and the impact it now has on games, rather than labelling the people they replace (who played well!) as failures.

Just image how you would feel if you looked at our bench 5 years ago and saw: wissa, JDS, damsgaard, ghoddos (and canos to come back). Crazy depth we've built up this year.

Haha I can share those stats actually as I went through the entire of last season and wrote it all down.
Didn't post them cos he's been doing well last few games but the stats don't lie.

Thank you for your valuable in-depth analysis but perhaps you could let us have these stats upon which they are based?

Otherwise, **** off.

Why though?
Serious question...were his performances this good a year or two ago?
And if not..why not? It's not like he's a teenager whose just blossomed?
It's often the case that players perform better when their contract is coming to an end or a big tournament like a world cup is looming.
