Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender and current Sky Sports pundit, has singled out one Everton player whose performance was “absolutely poor” throughout the game, and believes he should be axed from the team immediately.
Carragher, known for his blunt and honest analysis, was scathing in his criticism of Everton midfielder, Andre Gomes. “Gomes was absolutely shocking,” Carragher said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football. “He was slow, he was sloppy, and he was a liability throughout the game.”
Carragher, who played for Liverpool during their successful period in the early 2000s, believes that Gomes’ performance was not just a one-off, but rather a symptom of a larger problem. “Gomes has been struggling for a while now, and it’s time for the manager to take action,” Carragher said. “He’s not good enough to be starting for Everton, and it’s time for him to be dropped.”
Carragher’s comments are likely to spark a heated debate among Everton fans, who have been divided on Gomes’ performances this season. While some have praised his creativity and vision, others have criticized his lack of pace and defensive vulnerability.
Everton manager, David Moyes, will have to decide whether to take Carragher’s advice and drop Gomes from the starting lineup. With the Toffees facing a crucial run of fixtures in the coming weeks, Moyes will be under pressure to get his team selection right and pick up some much-needed points.
