You really do talk shite. Sorry but it's true, complete nonsense or you are a wum. Barkley made McCarthy look really good by being on the pitch when McCarthy made tackle of the game? Please explain.

Wtf do you whitter on about? Is there a young fans section that we can allow junior Everton fans the opportunity to chat shit? You pissed off that McCarthy is proving his work so you have to quote linchpin from months back and apply to Barkley. In bad need of growing up. Well done Nais, class again.

This is why Barkley is a £50m plus player.

No mirallas, best footballer in the world. Got posters of him and write his name on the back of my school books.

He's only 23.... lol. He's a top player. Simple as that.

Control the thing. Goals will come. Good to see Ross back.

ace - hairs on the neck stand up when you see that.

I think it's just the fact that he ain't really fit from a stamina perspective. I do feel a few kilos could be sacrificed.

But Rom hasn't broken his hip, and 6 metatarsals - to our knowledge he is a tee total athlete, he has nutrtionalists, the best of sports scientists but he can't run for 90 minutes because he had a break after the world cup. My point is that despite me being on the ale till the early hours at the age of 21, I could do things that I couldn't do at 27 onwards. Point being he should be at his absolute maximum natural fitness levels. At his age, his testosterone levels should be off the scale meaning that he recovers from intense exercise within 24 hours, muscle power output is at a maximum. Maybe he's depressed? or has high cortisol levels or something because honestly I can't really put my finger on it. I actually had high cortisol levels at 30 which suppressed my hormonal balance - I was lifting heavy weights too often and it led to overtraining. Maybe its that? I dunno.... beats soft tissue damage anyhow!

Keep the chin up Rubes.

Unwarranted is correct. Martinez trying to be too clever for his own good. He played less minutes than Baines in the WC. For me Lukaku is like Rooney - he has endomorph traits and I think he needs to play consistently, not worked into the ground but consistently. Lets be honest we are constanyly reminded that he's 21... at 21 I could go out on the beer till 2am on a saturday, get up play football at 11am - spend all day in the pub and go to work the next day. At 21 he should have boundless energy levels.

Seen the goal, class finish. Followed the flight and got the slightest of touches.

He's shite apparently.

Difference is - none of us really watch Stoke so we wouldn't really know. If you listened to United fans a year or so ago De Gea was useless and now he's ace, if you listened to Liverpool fans last year Mignolet was awesome and now he's pants. With goalies the grass always appears greener.

He loves a challenge does this lad. The bigger the name the better.

Great news Mike, keep plugging away. Get as many "easy" calories down you as you can. Scrambled eggs with full fat cream and cheese, trifles, ice cream. All the sort of things I have to try and use willpower to avoid!

Keeper makes mistake and other team scores as a result shocker. Stoke should release him on a free and he can fight with T-How for the spot of "chief mistake maker". Wasn't Peter Bonetti a great shot stopper??? Oh no, he made a mistake against West Germany. I will do my best to scout a keeper that doesn't make mistakes - the problem is even Neville Southall made the odd blooper, not many but the odd one.

Send him on holiday. Get his mind and body right. Its not doing him any favours.

He's been subbed. 57 minutes. Not good at all.

If he matched him on that occassion then as far as i'm concerned he is extremely fast. Its not like Bale wasn't running flat out - he was. Besic was able to keep up to the extent that he was able to stay with him and although Bale was slightly quicker Besic was able to get a good tackle in. Not many players could do that to say the least.

I take it you never watched the game? Just revelled in some OTT criticism. Most of it off Rangers fans who hate him for leaving.

Rooney can fuck off with his free kicks. Keeper should have thrown his cap on it. He's no where near good enough to be taking them. Gutted he scored it, cos he will insist on more soft floaty efforts.

Watched the highlights, I actually think he played well. Yes he missed a couple that he may have done better with but the critcism is probably coming from rangers fans. OTT. His link up play was very good.

Oh ffs, wind your neck in. The lad may as well be sinking 10 pints before a game the way he's playing. Origi was picked ahead of him for the qualifier based on form. Maybe we should add "never went to juventus" and "teetotal" to the "makes some runs and therefore creates space". You would think this run of form is a shock. To me it's not, he's been pretty shite since January after defenders started marking him tight and not allowing him to turn. But hey, he says he loves Everton so thats good enough. Maybe someone should tell McGeady to say this to get people off his back. Btw where did I say RM not drinking is admirable? My last few comments regarding Martinez have not been positive at all. I try not to nail my colours to the mast, Everton is what I support, not individuals.

Ironically Gary Neville is one of those in the game known for having a lash. You always do get a little scrawny sod with a 3rd leg!
