Jordan Pickford (as Everton captain in August 2024) just complained about "the squad lacking depth in centre back position". And with whatever voodoo he's been employing he's got almost every player in the squad agreeing with him.
The four centre backs at the club are Jean Todibo, Strahinja Pavlovic, Leo Ostigard and Jarrad Branthwaite.
So apparently, after spending quite a lot of money improving the defense, Pickford reckons that pissing Mason Holgate and Michael Keane are better players?
If you can't fix player interactions to make them remotely realistic, just remove them from the game. Stuff like this simply breaks immersion and provides no value to the experience.
