Josh McEachran


Term-X

Recommended Posts

Average day for Josh, who seemed like he had a shock collar on him, not to venture out of zone. Just asked to be neat and tidy, give the ball to Leadbitter and let him run the tempo. Kinda reminded me of the way Mikel is asked to collect and pass off. He even passed it off to Bikey of all people and then backtracked behind him and let Bikey try to pick someone out. Why not just ask McEachran to stand in the fucking net behind the GK. What a waste Mobray!

I noticed his jogging and that moment at the end where he had space to drive into but instead passed to Bikey and then covered him at CB, as Middlesborough were chasing the equaliser. He does have poor stamina but them so does Mata and he works hard during games (not so much defensively).

That's you're opinion and I can live with that but josh is clearly more then that sorry if you can't see this... I'll give him further 3 - 4 years...

the same we went through with Cork when I called out for him to be hold on to... now he is one of the if not THE Starplayer for Southampton, make out of it what you want, but they where struggeling all the way till he came back from injury, since then he was always one of the if not THE best player for them and is probably gonna to be in the England Squad...

so Corky was here since 8 and is gonna be an England national player... so make out of it what you want for me this is a big loss, and josh is gonna be a bigger loss... you don't know and I don't know so lets both wait and see...

Whether Josh is a gem or not is not the question. The question is, does he has the tools to make it to the top level ?

It is clear as day light that Josh is special. His passing ability and his vision just show how talented he is. But being technically talented is not enough to make it a the biggest stage. Kakuta is also technically special. But until now he couldn't make his way to the top — and I don't think he will. He lacks other things than purely football abilities. He lacks things such as confidence, will, determination (and maybe professionalism).

I mean, how many gems such as Gaël didn't make it, while having special technical abilities, and while being typed as real talents ? He is not the only one, there are plenty of them.

And, why do you think that the Premier League (for instance, the same goes for the other leagues) is full of dirty players who are technically poor — while young talents get lost ? Because, as I said, it takes other things than purely football abilities.

At the moment, Josh has the technique but doesn't have the mental. Look at Chalobah. He holds himself pretty good on the pitch. He doesn't fear to get stuck in other players, he takes initiatives. We can feel that he wants it. You just see that he takes the bull by the hornes. On the other hand, Josh seems to lack passion, motivation. To caricature, he is just jogging on the pitch.

In that regards, I do not believe he will make it at the highest level. I do not believe he has the mental to do so.

I think that has a lot to do with his personality. He seems a bit shy and laid back. There are lots of players like that who are technically good but lack other intangibles.
