Tough pick today, difficult to single any player as head and shoulders better than the rest.

Thought it odd he wasn't more involved today, aren't spurs one of the sides he tends to turn up against more often than not or am I misremembering.

Is on loan here at Everton from West Ham.

Doesn't have a thread of his own (yet) having joined on deadline day 31st August 2016. Today is March 5th 2017. Perhaps the fact he doesn't have a thread explains all there is to how Evertonians feel about him. All that to one side....

Was thrown on today on 80 minutes, so got his ten minute run out, put himself about a bit and nabbed a goal. Re the goal, I wanted him following the ball over the line to get kick off happening that bit quicker, not being happy to score but looking to get the game backon asap for the cause. A minor gripe, but its desire that is expected and desire that leads to rewards. Perhaps has given up and is resigned to going back to West Ham and plotting his next move.

Another very wobbly display today, doesn't look anything like the commanding-physical-win every header-CB he did at Swansea and for Wales. Know only too well his passing isn't his strongest facet, but with his strongest elements of his game not quite up to their former heights, it seems we and he are in a bit of a no-mans-land. Stick with him hoping for improvement and obviously replace due to age and sharpness, or cash in now and take the plunge? I appreciate in Jagielka's number is up we wont be letting both senior CB's go at the same time.

Predictable.

He has it in him more often than not sadly. Some choose to be blind to it, others simply rely on the facts.

Is 18.

Remember when Barkley was 19/20 and the shouts were his inconsistency was due to being involved too much too young? Davies ought to be used sparringly, especially in such a turned around selection and setup like today, expecting total football from a just broken through youngster smacks of over expectation. Hopefully we can avoid the grinding down of him (like what happened with Barkley).

Hasn't looked the same since returning from the ACON, the midfield dynamic has altered and he's still trying to do a lot of the work he was doing earlier in the season. Needs to trust his fellow midfielders and allow them to get on with the job and just do his role. (that which is expected now, not what was required before)

Once we get settled (over to you Ron) the occasional panic and our players marking our players will be relieved, it's going to take time and importantly an easy to hit option forward to let the midfield learn to reset and close down/out the oppositions.

Not thrown to the wolves today, not helped with selection and setup. Will come good.

Have praised him previously, and so heres the criticism.

A supposed top signing by clownshoes, found wanting today, decision making, concentration, and basic kicking duties all fell off a cliff today. This is the Joel Robles so many recognise and expect to turn up, sadly not anywaynear up to standard - worst starting keeper in the current top ten PL sides. Enough is enough.

It's no assassination of him, however, today he played like he had square boots on. The passes he was involved with were either to miss him out by our players or to expose him by theirs.

A supposed top signing by clownshoes. A disaster unless he's given the job to chop someone. Desperate for an upgrade.

The only thing more depressing than our efforts from set pieces is how we set up then switch off when defending against anyone elses.

Against such a strong midfield, why not involve maximum legs? (why Barry?) just seen Kane's second, what a fucking joke. Ghost of clownshoes there.

Still, a tougher away done with, hopefully a specific lesson finally learned.

Abra-cadabra.

Staying tuned in for the full 90 minutes means being there when the defence isn't.

Oldest lesson in the game.

The ambulance smashers are very upset after today.

We have options, which is nice, so have the opportunity to setup twice over and mix it up a lot. Sunderland much less so. We'll be Barkley Lukaku Mirallas first half, and depending how it goes could be Valencia Lukaku Lookman second half.

It's easier because of limitations to second guess Sunderland, so my gameplan would be 4-5-1 (just found this h**p://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/the-details-of-lee-cattermole-s-latest-setback-plus-a-full-sunderland-injury-update-1-8407869)

Pickford

Jones Kone O'Shea Oviedo

Ndong Gibson

Januzaj Larsson Borini

Defoe

Simply put, fill their third of the pitch and try to work time and space to Gibson to quarterback-pass Defoe in specifically against Mori All Game, drag a booking out of him early or work him for freekicks. They are lacking significant options and Januzaj should be shut down easy enough Borini to track Coleman as much as possible to make Oviedo's life easier cleaning up on our dangerous right flank.

We get to run the rule over Kone, if I was Moyes i'd give Pienaar only a cameo, our midfield will run him to death in five minutes flat and no one wants him red carded, they'll come longing for a point, try to isolate Mori and have a few digs from distance/free kicks. We should be able to limit their corners and get around Gibson fairly easily. So a frustrating draw (Pickford MOTM and we equalise Defoe's early strike) or we'll turn them over handsomely and share the goals round (Ross, Kev, Rom, Ad).

Wouldn't be against a fly over with 'Good Luck Bradley #5' on five minutes either.

This inbred fuck-pig is pissing off from the UK and is setting up in Saudi.

No sadly not gerrard, but waste of skin and all round kopite filth mark clattenburg is to take over howard 'dick head' webbs former job as head of Saudi Arabia's referees.

Good riddance to corrupt scum, I hope he gets found guilty of drinking alcohol, smuggling drugs, or insulting the local laws (better yet all three) out there and never returns.

He is probably one of the best tacklers around. I have never seen someone slide tackle so regularly and win the ball cleanly.

Hibbert says hello.....

Feel the hate.

Feel the delusion.

In 10 years Moyes didn't find a top class finisher, a winger better than Kilbane, or replaced Martyn, and he sold the best youth prospect in the world on the cheap because he mismanaged him. Yes he done well with a small transfer budget, but that was because he chose to use the budget on wages of which he was the top earner.

He never wanted Stones and Martinez turned him into a £40m asset. Likewise he swerved a £35m world cup winner, letting him leave for a nominal amount. Dier isn't too shabby either. No defender would have been brought through if it wasn't got injuries, and I'd bet that Coleman would be playing in the Championship.

top class finisher, Yakubu was as close as we'd seen for a long time, and if fraudo gets a pass due to injuries then the Yak achiles injury is excuse fodder for Moyes in the same vein.

better winger than Kilbane, there was this little south african player that lit Goodison up almost every week when playing in front of Baines.....remember (although a true ACM his exploits on the wing outshone supposed wingers...)

replaced Marytn, who signed him? and didnt he finish due to injury! (duuuhhh brain!)

wasnt the best youth prospect in the world sold for a record fee for a teenager at the time and certainly in terms of the then premier league?

he never wanted stones, yet signed him. Good un!

remember letting Dacourt go? he has a world cup winners medal too, and Materazzi was the world cup winning captain for Italy.... remember!

Coleman plays in the premier league, not the championship, was signed by Moyes and is now captain for his country. Remember!

Hilarious revisionism. The delusion is strong with this amoeba.

Were Wales even a top 100 side back in the days where Mr super injunction was going missing through injury at just the right time for his club boss?

Moyes was very shrewd in the transfer market, bought cheaply and sold expensively, to achieve what he did for this club on nearly the smallest budget of any club in the league for nearby all is tenure is remarkable.

Martinez did by a few decent players in McCarthy, Delli, Mori and Lukaku, maybe 1-2 aren't for Koeman but if they were all sold they would turn a massive profit to more than offset any losses elsewhere.

McCarthy was signed for a significant amount of money, the same fee as Fellaini..... I'll give some begrudging acknowledgement for picking up Deulofeu from Barca, Mori aint the finished article just yet, and a drunken stevie wonder could've seen Lukaku was an instant success, so theres no miracle being called on that particular signing. That the side played so badly so often and defence was totally disregarded coupled with how he fell out with certain players (Distin) (cited because Koeman has been criticised for his attitude towards some players, so fairs fair) just in total stinks of shambles.

I didn't like Everton being a shambles, being run further into the ground by a too proud imbicile on a massive lying power trip. To see the hard work Moyes had done for Everton over the years pulling us back from the brink of relegation into regular top 6 trophy challengers undone at the immediate behest of a moron simply didn't and doesn't sit right.

The support wised up eventually, hopefully if any future conman gets to pilot the good ship Everton like a pissed up mongoose the support call him out much much sooner before the kind of harm we were forced to witness over and over with fraudo can be unleashed again, then spend time recovering from.

Doesn't sound like he'll be retired from football for very long.

Fit into the Pelle sized hole at saints, lets see how they do against mildly better sides.

Moyes didn't have a pot to piss in that season. That's why we ended up with Drenthe and Straq. Forced signings rather than of Moyes choice IMO.

Indeed, and Kroldrup was pushed out quickly, Bilyaletdinov scored and we recouped like Kroldrup and the other thre mentioned were gambles for small fees. Moyes did sign a few pups, but that was over 10 seasons and frequently made money on his transfers, the throbbing lefty (not MC) attempting to compare clown shoes with Moyes over transfers is on a piss take.

Lets see if he gets (league) top scorer here first and if Europa is on offer next term...

The latest round of Chinese offers for players will I'm sure be a bargaining tool a number of players agents will use. Pay top talent or someone else will.
