Estêvão

I’m a Byline Times man myself. Their investigative journalism is up there with anything else I’ve read in this country.

Estevao to score 2 tomorrow.

WILL THE SD’s SELECT HIM, or will he have another cold?

Ridiculous that he's not playing every week - who's taking his place: neto, garnacho, gittens, pedro, fernandez, delap ???

Even if he's not in his best position - we'd be more of a threat with him just being on the pitch.

And why haven't we tried to build the team around him and Palmer... crazy to me.

Hope we get rid of Enzo - does nothing for me up front - yes scores the occasional goal but who else wouldn't in that position?

 
Should be starting more games. Needs time to learn the league and gain experience. They are throttling his minutes and hard to see why other than burning out young players (but even then feel he has more mins to give than what we see). Hes also good enough to start for Brazil, but not Chelsea - bizarre to me.

Wait till you find out they intend to build the team around Enzo.

“I love Enzo, because he's world class in all of the roles you've just mentioned. You can play him as a deep line six, who can get on the ball and make 100 passes a game. You could play him as an eight, as a box to box, and he can ride in the box and score goals, but also defend his own box. And you can play him as a 10 because he can connect. He can create assists and score goals. He's just a magnificent footballer. He gives me tactical flexibility for each game against different opposition. My job is to find what functions around him the best, so that the team functions with him in the very best way."

We are doomed if they think he is world class at any role. Never heard anyone mention him as a top PL midfielder.

I read Byline Times too. It's much more navel-gazy hand-wringing contemplative than Private Eye, but I agree, some of the reporting is excellent.

There'll be two pages of Peter Oborne saying "as my egg breakfast congeals, I reflect upon how fortunate I've been from the living room in my five-bedroom suburban home..." then, bang, a stunning insider report about the political culture at the BBC or (more often) Reform PLC's outrageous finances.

I couldn't really find the perfect example, but when he plays, it's noticeable how much muscle he has put on since arriving. He's even noticeably bigger than he was when we played against Barcelona in November.

 
@Scott Harris that is a good spot - he is filling out a little, but looks muscular. I don't think anyone else in our squad scores that first goal today - we haven't seen pace on the ball and ability to then finish at this level since Hazard.

Just an absolute joy to watch.

 
Disgraceful performance by Estevao - first running directly at goal and then playing forward passes to a striker, both on the counter-attack. Has he learned nothing of Marescaball?

Sounds like a write up for a B2B magazine, hope so anyhow. Talk him up get good price.

roast beef with all the trimmings, Scotch eggs, Pork pies, Crisp sandwiches,Full English Breakies with black pudding... builders tea with four sugars. Fish and chips, Lots of sponge cakes with cream fillings, Steak and Ale pies (one of Brazils best delicacies imported here before they stopped selling them for some wokery reason - bet he's got a secret stash)

Seems as though he's enjoying his move to the UK and the culinary delights.

Who ate all the pies who ate all the pies. Estevao Estevao, hes ate all the pies.

He makes such a difference when he plays, but.......

Rosenior after Palace game.. From " Hayters Channel" ... ...

"" In terms of on the pitch, with an 18-year-old with talent like his, you have to manage his minutes. You have to manage the games that you think are the right moments for him to have an impact.

“And I’ll keep doing that because I want him to have an outstanding season, but I want him to have an outstanding career as well.”

Hi mate. I was completely unaware of Byline Times, I've had a look and it's got absolutely top reporting. Thanks for putting me onto it.

👍

"Steak and Ale pies" from Brazil " have I got that right?

If he carries on eating like that he'll be another Razor Ruddock soon !! 😂

"In a separate anecdote, when asked why Ruddock was not involved in a 6-0 loss to Millwall, manager Steve Coppell reportedly replied: "We didn't have a pair of shorts big enough for him and he would have looked like a right c*** out there".

Yeah, I read on the packaging a while back the beef in them was from Brazil. Unless i was wrong, but Fray Bentos is a town in Uruaguy so say the internet. Either way, he's been doing a desperate dan and scoffing as many as possible by the looks of it and it is working.

Razor Ruddock was just a fat bastard.

 
Hope for Estevao and his family everything is OK. Not seen anything further from yesterday yet.

Perhaps it's something perfectly innocent like his sister getting married or something like that. He's toasted the happy couple and has already returned to training for the Arsenal match.

Or not.
