'Joke of a footballer', 'Abysmal' – Everton fans apoplectic after latest first-teamer comments

Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Ashley Williams recently spoke to the BBC about Everton's season and fans have taken to Twitter to destroy the centre-back.

Williams lifted his head above the parapets to admit that it had been a disappointing season but made the mistake of saying it wasn't the first time in his career it had happened.

He said that you just had to get on with it and that the season was almost over anyway.

His words were quoted on the Everton Blue Army Twitter page and there was a deluge of supporters following him on, all keen to have their say.

It doesn't make good reading for the veteran 33-year-old centre-back, who joined Everton from Swansea in the summer of 2016.

Here are the best reactions from Everton fans who sound like they don't want to see Williams in Everton colours again:

It’s just football what ? it’s your job !! you get paid very well to do it performance manage these players direct correlation to wages

He left out the bit I still get my wages for going though the motions

Ending it with ‘we are towards the end of the season now’ translates to, it’s been crap but I get a fresh start after 7 more games so I don’t really care how this one ends
