Did I see a vote for tim Cahill!?! Good headed goal and that's about it. His pathetic lazy leg attempt near the end resulted in Howard having to tip over. Seriously, Coleman, pienaar and distin are the only condensers. As for heitinga, get rid.

What!? Heitinga had a good, if not noticeable, game. Anyone else notice that once he was taken off, Blackpool started to push forward alot easier????

Good game by Coleman, but I gave it to Distin. Lost count of the number of time's he saved our ass by shutting down Blackpool's forwards.

Did let in 2 goals but me thinks woulda been worse if not for Distin.

Speaking of worse, Baines had an absolute shocker.

Giving it to the big man Yakubu.

Best performance from him this season by far. And I'm pretty sure he's not even fully fit yet.

And speaking of Arteta, was it just me or did anyone else think he had a shocking first half? Saw at least 7-8 shit passes/touches from him. Picked up heaps in the second though.

As both an Everton fan and a Perth Glory fan, I only have one thing to say.

Wtf is Fowler on!?!?! (Perhaps 'practising' his infamous goal line celebration)

Pienaar says he'll be ready for Spurs game Bill

If only he'd say he's ready to sign a contract.

I know this is a pipedream bout does anyone reckon Rooney will ever come back to Everton, and would the Club and fans accept him?

And don't give me stick about wages and shit, I realise this ain't gonna happen (well not till Rooney is like 40)

because he cant score with his feet. thats why he isnt a striker. sorry, but this is stupid. he plays behind the striker because he is good with his head, can flick it on etc, because he is a good target man, supporting the striker, where he has played for his entire career....

Australia begs to differ.

Ignore the first goal. The second is a cracker.

Reckon he still has a role to play at the club. Think he wants to play week in, week out though.

You're right, nothing inherently wrong with pretty football, what is wrong is when we're so disillusioned by the silky passing game and flowing runs that some fans make comments like this. I'd rather we play ugly football like Blackpool and be sitting 4th than Barca-esque midfield play and be sitting 17th. Pretty doesn't win trophies, see Arsenal.

The attacking runs and passing aren't the problem. To me it always seems like the final ball into the areas is always crap.

Don't know hwo many times I've watched Everton go forward to just have the attack cut short by a shit cross.

Scored a hatrick for crystal palace. Goals didn't look half bad either. Recall please

Classic.

Is this the start of a "Find the player" thread?

Just wondering with all this talk about everton's books being shite, does anyone have a link to those books (or at least something that points at the finances of EFC)

cheerio

His agent is saying that he wants to stay at Newcastle, I don't know how much truth is in that...

Me thinks he's still riding the high of the newcastle v villa game. he'll change his tune once newcastle start facing relagation again

Lol this thread is reminding me of an old Simpsons episode.

*Homer flicks on and off light switch* Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

LOL! Never gonna happen. End Thread.

bill murray- fuckin legend

Amen. He was the lols in zombieland.

Can't blame Pieenar for wanting to be on parity with our high earners. Easily the best player all of last season.

Now if he's asking for more than that though... well thats a different matter...

On a free? Yes please. Love the way Petrov cuts in from the wing.

Say what you will, Cahill works his arse off when he plays in the shirt.

Moyes has given him the workhorse/engine room role that Carsley and Gravesen used to do.

And if there's set pieces, Timmy will still be able to pull of his 'one trick' 9 times out of 10.

We need him fit and running ASAP.

Without him on the wings our midfield is flaccid and impotent... (double entendre intended )

Enough of in-club comparisons now. Where do you guys think Howard ranks compared to other Premier League keepers?

Without any bias I reckon probably top 5 minimum. Cech and Reina are still fighting it out for no1 in my mind.

No real changes from the Blackburn squad IMO.

Would like to see Yak and Bily come in around 1/2 time though.

Reckon the ball boy chucked it at Diouf on purpose?

Couldn't tell by the angle of the camera.

hrmmm got abit excited there... didnt even realise the article was a year old....

lol i always wondered if any clubs used FM to look for talent. never thought everton would be the first to do it though xD

soon we'll be unearthing players like marqinhos and willians every season
