Every team needs a steady eddy, e.g Nicky Butt, Makalele, Declan Rice. Josh Eccles is our Steady Eddy. He needs creative players around him as do the players I mentioned.

Yeah but whenever a midfielder is a bit average they get hailed as a water carrier now. Deschamps was an excellent player, not just an average midfielder among better players.

Oh fairs I just think he’s an alright midfielder and great to have in the squad (especially given the current circumstances in midfield) but he’s not as good as some on here make him out to be imo.

He's nowhere near as bad as some would have you believe either

these two posts sum up the situation perfectly in my eyes - he’s not amazing, he’s not awful, he’s a decent midfielder who does a decent job for us

he has the odd good game and the odd bad game, and the rest are somewhere in between
