Sloppy, uninventive, uninspiring and for me a complete lack of ambition at the moment. Villa are worse than average and we're allowing them into the game. We need to seriously step up to the mark here, otherwise we could well drop out of the top 6 by the end of this round of fixtures.

6ft 4 and still only 17???? This kid is going to be a monster.... Hope he's a decent keeper too.

Good luck to him if he goes there. Always said he was a big flagship signing for us when we got him, and he's served us well when he has played.

Sunderland fan I work with reckons they were quite close to getting Banega.

Everton 2-1 Villa Mirallas

Does he know that Holloway isn't at Palace anymore. Can't say I think its a great or ambitious move for him.

That's hilarious. What an absolute tool!

If that's true, we really should have a go.

He's a tidy enough footballer but is pretty similar to what we already have. Was he at Swansea when Martinez was there?

Liverpool 1-2 Everton Lukaku

Good read that thanks. I love the idea of the blank canvas as motivation to write themselves into our history.

If he's available for as little as £4m, why even bother with a loan. Almost a certainty that we'd make our money back if it didn't work out, however if he's as highly rated as I think he is there will be others sniffing round at that price.

Mirallas... hands down. Naismith gets a mention though. Finished the 2 chances well, linked play up neatly for the most part and worked hard for the 90.

Felt sick for the lad when I saw it earlier. With advances in medicine and rehab, I'd like to think that he will make a strong recovery and be back in blue before to long.

All over Twitter that the plug could be pulled due to an injury to Falcao.... Could be cruciate by all accounts.

Hibbert will get an extension and will probably get involved with the academy coaching staff at some point. Martinez has said previously, if I remember right, that him and Osman are a part of the fabric of the club and are important to have around even if they don't play so much. Would like to see Distin, Velios and Mcaleny get new contracts, and I think Springthorpe will also depend on how he performs during his loan spell. Would like to see more of Deulofeu next year too if we can keep him. Hoping that Barry is pretty much a formality.

Thought I'd found a link.... but it was just a picture of 'EVERTON' target Kevin Mirallas playing for Belgium against 'RICARDO VAN RHIJN' in 2012

Not been able to keep possession all game. Making a very poor West Brom side look average. Mcgeady anyone?

Can't stand that Steven Reid. Shit, wannabe hard man.

And nearly scoring.

Doing what he does well, which is playing back to goal and using his strength to bring other players in.

According to some newspapers, he could be available for as little as £250k. Worth a gamble?

According to Sky Sports, Ranieri is looking to move players on as the squad is too big. This fella apparently is one of the lads who doesn't fit in to his plans.... So there could be some legs to this one.

I think it's usually spelt Efin or Hefin.

Read earlier today (and sorry can't find the link) that we may be after Steve Fletcher from Sunderland. Can't see it myself as they paid somewhere in the region of 12m if I remember right, and would likely want to recoup a lot of that.
