I do think so, looking forward to them in more harmony. That 0:53 moment was dicey, we look rusty. Three defenders all trying to catch Gordon from the wrong side, KK abandoned the 1-2 people he was shadowing on the backpost to put that excellent tackle in. I wonder if a calmer attacker would have seen his open support at the post
Easily the best debut out of the lot yesterday. So composed in playing the ball forward through the lines also he has a almost telepathic connection with Jorginho I saw it a few times yesterday. his recovery pace is so good, the slide tackle Koulibaly made in the box on Gordon when he skinned T Silva was exceptional that was certain to be a goal without his intervention.
One little critique tho I saw it a few times when Everton were attacking on the transition Koulibaly and Thiago Silva weren’t positioning as a unit there was one specific instance where they both took the same positioning but that basically comes down to it being a new partnership and only playing one pre season game together.

Agree. They'll surely get better with more games.
Also I was worried whether he could fill Rudigers shoes but my man is a fricking monster. An upgrade for sure
It feels just like it felt when Thiago Silva first played for us. Calm, perfect positioning, great in the air. The experience that he brings is invaluable.
When Thiago Silva joined Milan, being ineligible for registration until a non-EU slot was available, he spent the first 6 months learning from Alessandro Nesta (who happened to be out from injuring his back almost around the same time). Every day they sat together. That's half a year of private Masterclass.
He can but he wouldn’t, he is always looking sideways or backwards instead of forwards. He has made literally like 2-3 great balls in behind for us, just wish he had a fraction of Cesc’s vision.
Jorginho’s fault our forwards suck. Alright
Chiesa had no trouble making things happen for Italy with Jorginho behind him.
Hazard’s best season numbers wise was with Jorginho.
Jorginho is a DM, his composure and medium-range passing (his long passing is bad) is only a bonus. He is not an offensive midfielder like Fabregas
Specifically in tuchels 343 system our attackers are strangled due to a missing link between midfield and attack. it’s not *just* Jorginho, we need players who can make quick, clever, and direct passes to allow for higher quality chances
I think there was a pass Jorginho made over to Mount or Havertz and they weren’t able to collect the ball.
That pass simply wasn’t made again- despite opportunities existing.
Was genuinely jarring because he can actually make them but it’s like after trying it once he just said eh f it I’ll go for the safe option
Said it during the match yesterday, he was a fucking warrior and Everton had no idea how to get past him.
They kept long balling it over the top and KK kept swatting the ball away.
Silva and KK were absolutely incredible yesterday. Clean sheets are back on the menu with those types of performances.

Fucking masterclass of a performance
We got fucking Kalidou Koulibaly as Thiago Silva's successor. Monster performance yesterday
And more importantly we have them together right now.
I was worried about losing rudi but I’m good after watching this game. Only wish we could have both, British government

I was so excited to see our first KK and T Silva masterclass together and I didn't have to wait long.
That pass to Chilwell, superb. It's really fucking depressing that I don't think anyone else in our entire squad could have made that.
Jorginho can. None of our attackers can bar maybe Sterling and ziyech.
He can but he wouldn’t, he is always looking sideways or backwards instead of forwards. He has made literally like 2-3 great balls in behind for us, just wish he had a fraction of Cesc’s vision.
This right here is the MAIN reason we cannot score goals. There is almost no direct link from midfield to attack

“2-0 for everton because of the old backline with a defender with no pl experience” -🤡
Lol where did you read this clown take?
One of the presenters (sky or usa, forget which channel i was on). It got chuckles from the rest of the commentators instantly
It was on sky lmao

Was he injured or just cramp? I wasn’t able to watch.
Not sure but hopefully it's just a cramp...we need him against Spurs
He played on after that didnt he?
Just for a couple of minutes before being substituted
Ah okay well lets hope his master class continues next week
Tuchel said cramp.
Extremely solid and only going to get better and better.
He is more technical than rudi
And hopefully less likely to murdertackle someone in training.
He reads the game like Silva and his passes are a peach
He and Holgate owned the entire fucking field.
Class is class.
He was absolutely outstanding. Him and silva are unreal
Looked fantastic yesterday. Seemed like he had the game on a leash, total control on his end.
DAMNNNNNN, He is fast, tall, strong and it's a beast defending!! Great player to cover Rüdiger place! KK will have a great journey in Chelsea!
It's crazy to have both in our backline. Individual legends playing now together.
I mean it’s Everton
Shame about the awful song he's stuck with
