We have been shite for weeks! Since the turn of the year. It's all gone sour. I'm not even putting any hopes into anything. We're playing at half the tempo of the first half of the season. Mirallas and Naismith only threat at the moment.

I honestly can't get over Monaco spunking all that money on him. His YouTube videos make him look boss. Unfortunately in reality he's crap. On that viewing rather have Jelavic

Easy to see. As above. Nothing to do with fitness very evident that he's just not very good. He lacked any real technique, was expecting a lot lot more.I thought he was a headless chicken. Straq mk2.

Nailed.

Horrible draw if I'm honest. Not sure if we'll proceed down there.

Lol

None story

No definitely not. This proves it even more.

Haha, he was awful mate. Reminded me of a poor mans straqualursi. He was that bad.

Fixed it for you

Rather the shite away. There's a score to settle.

It's easy to see a good player. He was wank. Expecting a lot more from someone with a big price tag. Not negative. Justy an honest opinion.

He was terrible.

That's us out then

I'm awaiting "it's his first game, new league" shouts. I made a point of watching everything about him and it doesn't look good. I was expecting technical ability. He's was awful.

Naismith again proving all his doubters wrong. Never a winger! Looks classy in front of goal. Top finisher, great movement.

Monaco spunked big money there. Rather Naismith.

So you think Chelsea are going to let him go for less than £12m (that's what they paid). If other clubs get a sniff of anything like that price tag we won't be the only clubs bidding. It's going to be £15m minimum.

It's obvious there is an option to buy at the end of the season. Martinez mentioned it was not allowed to be discussed in January. Considering we have paid £3m for the loan. I think we should offer £12m.

Barkley is not match fit. Certainly rushed back. You have to question the decision to give a 20 year old an injection. Yes he's a decisive player. But it didn't half back fire.

Not talking about fast/slow starts I'm talking about final league standings. We're always just not good enough to sustain a proper challenge. We've done it once (top4) with a pretty average side through a bit of luck and a hardworking side. Other than that we just fall short.

I'm not painting anything negatively. It's facts we're 8 points a drift. Yes we have a game in hand but to presume its a guaranteed 3 points is very naive. Nothing is certain. Even if we take 3 points from the palace game there will still be a 5 point deficit to reduce. It's looking negative to be fair. Frustrating more than anything. In my opinion finishing outside the top 4 will be a massive disappointment considering our points tally at the turn of the year. On current form we will continue to fall away. It's ok trying to remain positive but the same thing happens every season. It's the nearly boys, just not quiet good enough. Everton remain the best of the rest.

Good luck with this Mike. Godspeed.

Lukaku has 9 goals in 21 appearances. Sturridge: 16 in 18 appearances Suarez: 23 in 21 appearances Aguero: 15 in 17 appearances RVP : 10 in 15 appearances Adebayor: 8 in 10 appearances

The basis is on this season. For us which is all that matters. His record is not as impressive as you're trying to make out. No matter how you try to polish it up with his previous seasons return. You are putting him on par with Suarez, Sturridge etc. he's not even close to their standard at present. His goals ratio this season is under 2:1 so therefore he is not a 1 in 2 striker. He's been on 9 goals for about 2 months.
