Saw 3/4 of the match, thought Kone worked his ass off the whole match, dropping deep, hitting the wings, looking to link up and putting some shots on. That clever little move where he was inside the box with 2 men guarding him, he faked left, spun to the right and put a shot on the keeper saved. Nice move.

Well played, you'd been sitting on that barkley one I knew it

Like I said before sell him if you can, he's past it.

Yes and honestly with the way Baines is playing this year at some point id like to see Baines in cm with besic or McCarthy and Garbutt at lb.

They paid for chicharito, sterling is 3 times the play Javier is, why wouldn't they?

Barkley. Sterling is gonna leave the shite after this year to Real Madrid anyways, all over the papers today, he's had it with Brenda. He will fail there and end up back with someone else.

just got back from taking a test to get a job in the civil service, down 1-0 at home to krasnodar, not happy. what's been happening? sounds like my dude Kone has played well

yeah i am fearing that. hopefully they get sevilla or borussia monchengladbach.

great point mike i didn't think of that. aguero gets healthy and it would've been theirs to lose. very glad they are not in it. scared of Roma though, that group was very talented, any other group and they would have qualified.

Yep that's how it ended up. Well very glad to not have to face the 4 seeded teams and Liverpool. Roma is a very difficult draw, I really don't want them. Well have to see how it goes down tomorrow to see what we're up against.

i believe so. the seeded team gets the advantage of playing the home match last. 99% sure of that.

exactly it's nothing personal, and i totally get that people won't agree with me which is fine. i'm just not a LD fan that's all, i am truly excited to see who the next breakout young american star will be. hopes for yedlin but with the spurs move we will see.

spot on. i've been reading the rules of the league and getting familiar as well. i'm just glad we're seeded, it should help a little.

agreed, i'd really like to see him do well and kick on the rest of the season.

well put haf, i agree. every year he has missed significant time due to injury, cash in while you can and get a healthy winger.

agreed. my think is we have robles won the FA cup and looked great for wigan. RM needs to give him a chance the rest of the campaign, maybe he's the future, but don't sign someone and not give him a shot.

doesn't have anything to do with playing ability. like saying gazza wasn't great because he's an alcoholic, mutually exclusive. to my fellow americans re: dempsey v donovan. i think the reason we differ is because i don't care about national team form. when i talk about best player i factor about 90% club playing and only 10% national team. they spend the majority of their lives playing for clubs 38+ matches a season, they play what 10 matches a year with a national side if they're luckY? hence why i choose dempsey, 3rd in premier league scoring, played in england in a proper top league, and has "retired" to the MLS. he's still going too. he's burnout played a ton and he's not quitting. meanwhile donovan played in MLS, did ok for everton no records or insane scoring (against proper competition) and set all sorts of records for the national team while playing trinidad, guatemala, etc. i just can't take that seriously. and then he's gets all wimpy and quits at 32 cause he's tired. you already took a sabbatical, didn't play in the world cup, how are you tired? playing against collegiate USA and central american pros in MLS? Robbie Keane couldn't crack Spurs or Villas lineup week in and week out, goes to MLS and is by and far best player, head and tails above everyone else. That says it right there. Tim Howard, went to Man United and didn't do we'll, Landon went home from his spell in Europe, Tim was a man, stuck with it and went to a smaller club and kept at it. He's still rocking.

I know a lot of Americans on here are fans of his, I'm not. Retired early, took a sabbatical because he can't take the demands of playing for club and national team, and other than some little loan spells at Everton he never could hack it in Europe. I'll take Dempsey and Howard all day long as best Americans over him.

Everton 2-0 QPR Barkley

The first 4 teams from CL 3rd place to Europa are here. Olympiakos, Liverpool, Zenit St. Petersburg, and Anderlecht.

Lateral moves really. Neither look to have CL football next year and we are all around the same place in the table. He's either going to a big team in another league to play CL or staying here. The only side I could see him in the premier is Arsenal and wenger wont splash on him.

Lol

Must be a British phrase. Being hard here in the states means you have a boner or hard on. Whatcha talking bout?

At work so can't watch the match, but was glad to see 1-0 Basel at the half. Hoping for a Marco Streller brace. He's the only player of theirs I know since they sold Salah.

Brett was speaking for paddock by saying what the other guys say I'll follow and to show how I'm a super evertonian I'll always post about going the match and the difficulties of away travel. You were just a main poster, he wasn't slighting you. I thought it was hilarious to be honest. The more time I spend on here the more I enjoy the guy, has a very dry and sarcastic wit to him.
