I watched the game and he played well.
Plenty of energy which I`m sure was developed from his time with us.
Still tries to do the fancy stuff that works sometimes then he will lose the ball the next time.
Even my mate Jack Harrison got an assist at the weekend.
Another player that frustrates one minute then pulls something out of the bag another time according to the Everton faithful.

I dont care if he got an assist, Harrison is horse sheet

yes. yes he is

To be fair to Bamford, he's had a disrupted pre season and has had next to no mins. He can be useful still at this level, we'll need him at some point no doubt but hopefully Joseph and Piroe stay fit all season.

Need to back up from Friday tonight, hopefully it's not ''a day after the lord mayors show' as they say, it's a game we need to win.. can't afford it to be flat after Friday. Watford will no doubt park the bus.

Gone a bit quiet on the free agent signing as well..

but....
bamfords been crap for 3 if not 4 seasons.

I've no issues with Bamford been third choice striker, we just cant rely on him to be starting or making an impact of the bench.

it's what we pay for him being 3rd choice. highest paid player at the club

Nothing club can do about that mate. He was very useful last year when fit and had some minutes. Farke said the same. He's 3rd choice as it stands and that fine. You won't find many better at this level than Bamford as a squad striker.

Think we should have cashed in on him start of this season.
I`m not sure many clubs would want him especially on 70k a week.
There`s got to be better strikers around on that sort of money.
Woods still scoring in the Premier League I see.
But Trebor is right.
We are stuck with him so let`s hope he nets at least 10 this season.

Bamford leads the line ten times better than Piroe, that’s why when he got fit last year Piroe was dropped. He may well be 3rd choice this year, and that’s because his finishing over the last couple of injury hit years has been below the standards he set when he got his England cap etc. We suffered at the back end of last season by not having a competent centre forward, Piroe and Rutter were both inadequate when we needed them most and Bamford was again injured. I still think if Farke had been brave enough to give Joseph the necessary minutes throughout the season he could have made a real difference at the back end. That’s all in the past, hopefully we can manage a top two spot without having a crackerjack centre forward if everyone else pitches in with some goals.

It`s time our midfielders started to score goals.
When was the last time the likes of Amapadu, Gruev, Rothwell or Tanaka scored taking into account the latter 2 have only started getting picked?
Struijk I think has scored more than all of them likewise Firpo.
Personally I don`t think Bamford leading the line is in his locker nowadays.

Spot on.
Bamford was one of the best at holding the ball up and leading the line in his peak.
Have to say had Bamford fluffed the chances Piroe and Joseph had tonight I would be slagging him off up hill and down dale.
An ugly 3 points tonight and with 5 of the other 6 games finishing as draws that`s a good 2 points gained over those teams.

should have been more comfortable but that’s the championship for you. Midweek games are always tricky. It’s just about getting the points
