London Blue

Would love him, but probably not with other clubs sniffing around. Purse strings loosend to pull away from relegation area or putting in bids that wont be accepted to fool the fans? Watch this space....

If we dont start scoring goals on a more frequent baisis we will be in a relegation dogfight. Which maybe why the banks have lifted the purse strings (once we sold billy) better to spend to stay in the premiership than face the chance of relegation, and see assets value plumet.

I dont agree with every tactic the Blue Uinion use, but how would you show the fans displeasure at the board without them or a group like them?

Fans make an emotional investment in the club they support, they are pationate about it and thats why they care who is running it and how. You shop at ASDA's but you dont cheer the special offers or make up chants about the own brands. Likewise I doubt the players would enjoy playing a match infront of a crowd that thinks its on its weekly shop at Tesco's. I dont like Blue Unions tactics, but I understand and share their frustrations. Blue bill has failed to answer questions at AGM's and has constantly been in error where the truth is concerned (fortress fund, watch this space..., kings dock money etc) Like Mike O I just want it sorted, I want to know whats going on with regard to selling the club (as long a it doesnt jepodise the clubs commercial interests)

You mean have them sat on the bench watching Neville, Cahill and Saha playing so poorley week in week out, yet never getting the chance to replace them? Heres a quote for you pal "If there good enough they are old enough" They cant be worse then those three so why arnt they playing? We played well for the first 30 or minutes but as usual we were carrying Nev and Saha was shit, players created chances but didnt score due, lost confidence and fell appart, played players out of position and played injured players. We were playing the worst team in the leauge with low confidence, scored a freak goal to take the lead and STILL LOST! How bad does that make our performance and Moyse's tacticks, planning and motivation?

It is Moyes fault in that he trains and picks the team and sets the tactics. Either he or the physio are at fault for playing Rodwell when he obviously isnt fit, he has just come back from injury, had to go off injured in his first game back and he sticks him on when he had Barkley sat next to him on the bench - madness. Playing Ossie on wing is a waste, everyone who watches Everton knows he his ineffective on the wing and drifts out of the game. When we are crying out for someone to stick their foot on the ball and create something why in the name of all thats holy and quite a bit thats not put him on the wing and not in the middle instead of Neville whose only contrebution this season has been to make lord lucan look conspicuious especialy when you have a winger sat on the bench? Why play Saha who simply does not deserve to play for this club again. Why bring on Cahill when you have Barckey and Anechebe. We have a very limited squad, but not to replace players who simply contribute nothing and I mean nothing to the team when you DO HAVE OPTIONS is poor management.

This - even though I have been guilty of the above

Probably Cahilll's last match for Bolton so he could put a performance, even if he does they look so poor latley I stil believe we will win. I think alot depends on how attacking Moyes is. If he goes with 2 up front I can see us winning this buy a country mile. But As we are on something of a run I can see Moyes leaving the team unchanged, which is unfortunate as Cahill, Neville, and Saha genuanly don't deserve to start. If we can get an early goal I can see us getting a few. If we leave it late I can see us grinding out a 1-0. Howard, Hibbert, Johnny, Jags, Baines, Gueye, Rodwell, Osman, Barkley, Donovan, Anechebe. Wont happen though.

Another youngster, while I agree with getting young players and developing them, we need to balance this with adding players with some experience who can deliver for us now not in 3 or 4 years.

Drenthe on a perminant deal, RIGHT WINGER (to stop Rodwell and Osman being played their) Striker on loan, Carlton Cole until we can get a perminant striker in the summer DM not to play players out of position when he has other options

Great servant to Everton, and has supplied some of my favourate moments of recent years. I think its better for him to go now rather than play on as a shadow of his former self.

Does he need a hand packing?

Cant he lend one to Neville?

Johnny and jags are the future due to their ages and can go for another 4 or 5 seasons. When they have played toether with Fellani screening they have looked solid. I like the idea of Baines and Coleman as wingbacks as both are attacking minded. I dont think having 3 in the centre would help much as it would take out a player from midfield where in the middle we have Fellani (who should be 1 of the first names on the team sheet) then Rodwell, Osman, Barkley, for the two remaining central places and Drenthe and Gueye on the wings. I dont think its essential to have a left and right footer in the centre of defence, organisation, and communication are more important.

Distin, but agree with Mik O in that Jags and Heitinger with Fellani screening has been very good and would revert to that when all available. ,

Would preffer to see Duffy given a run, you do need 4 centre backs so Jaggs, Heitinger, Duffy and Distin would do.

I think with young players who have played in few prem games, especialy in teams that are struggling to score goals, you have to expect them to have good and bad days. But you back the potential. The longer they spend in the team the first team, the more confidence and experience they get and (hopefully) the better they play. This win is important, I hope that Anechebe is given a run now and that he isnt left islolated uo front and has some support. If we can get a striker in the window to help out, then there is the chance of a top 7/8 finish. If not I fear for us as we do look a team without a serious goal threat.

I agree DM knows what he is getting from Cahill, Neville and Saha, which is poor performances. The times I have seen Guye play he has played well, granted he was no better than ok today. But he is a young player who needs time in the team, as does Barkley if they and we are to progress. Cahill, Saha and Nev were again very poor today, and I for one would rather see these younger players given a run in the team at their expense. I for one would like to see Anichebe who played well in his cameo and took is goal very well also given a run in the team,

I didnt say relegation, I said a relegation fight. Our main problem is we cant score goals, we dont have a player that can get us 10 goals a season let alone 15 or 20. While agree with DM to an extent when he says that the january window isnt a good place to get a player, we could use our 1 long term loan to get someone like Carlton Cole from West Ham until we can get a new striker at the end of the season. If a player like De Jong is available for £5 million then he would be a very good buy, if Bily hs gone for £6 million, plus his wages of 30K a week then maybee this one is a goer. Everytime I see us play either at GP or on stream I get so frustrated at the control we can exert, and the chances we create, then after 20 or so minutes you can see the players lose patience start to worry they wont score and become disjointed. I hope and prey that in the summer we topple some of the sacred idols at GP i.e. Cahill, Saha, and make Neville a coach, we wont get much money, (none in Saha's case) but the 100K + a week we would save in wages would be a big boon to the club. Having said that the board will probably find another way to loose us money...

And how much have we raised from player sales? The only reason we might get this player is that unless we get a goal scorer we are at risk of being dragged into a relegation fight.

So can Arteta, Coleman (better right back tho),and Billy who is arguably better on the right than Barton whose best position is central midfield where we are somewhat overstocked

The question is what would he add? We already have Fellani, Arteta, Rodders, Cahill, Billy, Osman, not to mention Baxter, and the other young talent comming through. It would only make sence if we sold Fellani or Redders, to free up cash for a genuine winger and / or a striker. Would I want him at the club, well if its the Barton who played for the barcodes last season then yes. If its the spanner who played for city then no

The only way we will sign N'Zogbia, (or anyone else) is if N'Zogbia stalls signing for Villa until early August as that is when we get the Premier Leauge money for next season. In the past we have used bridging loans to cover the gap in time from the start of the transfer window to premier leauge money comming through. I suspect given the clubs financial state (reducing over draft) and the reluctance of Greene and others on the board to lend money this is the reason. It wouldnt suprise me if N'Zogbia has been advised of this which is why he has gone on holiday and avoiding Villa as he wants to come here. Alot of clubs are in the same position as us which is why there has been so little transfer activity (bar usual suspects) and which may explain why Yobo and the Yak are still here. I predict with absolutly no certainty which I guess makes it more of a well guess, that Yak and Yobo will go in early August and we will get N'Zogbia and maybe one other free transfer or lower leauge signing.

No I'm not taking the piss, Moyes is however with his bizare selection policy's of playing people out of position and sticking with his favourites even when they play poorly. Not to mention his negative approach, poor substitutions and tactics. He has the best squad we have had in 30 years and we cant beat Brentford or a promoted Newcastle. Disgrace. Moyes has done so well for this club and turned us around, no doubt, but these failings have been there for a long while, but now at this level with these international players he has reached his limit. O'niel is out of work and lives for football, so who knows

I think Moyes will go, the players are not playing and thats due to the manager. It wont be Hughes my money is on O'niel, free and although a 24 crt wanker he does play good football.
