Let’s therefore….set a few things straight. The FA Cup is famous the world over for the very notion that anything from a ‘genuine pub team’ to the greatest team in the land (something that you once were long ago….and very quickly need to realise you no longer are) may possibly meet should the lesser of those two teams have the good fortune to win through round after round of hard fought ties, often in surroundings almost as bad as those in which the majority of you reside.

 

To be fair, if the majority of LFC fans can afford to fly in from Norway and Denmark every week, they've probably got a few bob

Presumably stumping up some cash in this window is our attempt to keep him and demonstrate we'll try to match his ambition for a couple of more seasons yet

Fair play to the club and Moyes. Who knew about this? Kept it well under the radar so no chance of anyone getting in and trying to gazump us!

Looks like a top signing, fingers crossed for the lad. Get Gibbo back in a week and we're looking strong again. Just need someone to start knocking em in

This is the points table for the last 15 games of last season, we got 27 pts. If we can replicate that sort of form then we can finish above Spurs and Chelsea, esp when the Europa League kicks in again! Obvs fixture list will be different but gives an idea.

Aaarggghh, can't seem to embed the table but essentially.............

Arsenal 33 points

Everton 27 points

Chelsea 22 points

Spurs 20 points

We've kept 2 clean sheets after having a PL record of consecutive games with goals conceded but have become more impotent up front.

Just shows how much we needed Jelavic and Gibson last January as without them we're struggling. Admittedly, we're only 'without' Jela in terms of his form.

Gibbo could be back for West Brom, Mirallas back in the team with Vic and we'll be a lot more offensive, depends if we go back to being porous again.

We could do with a player or 2 to come in and freshen things up to get us moving again.

Isn't there a law that states any club loaning a player must pay at least 50% of his salary ?

 

Malouda was shit hot a few seasons ago with loads of goals and loads of assists. Not sure what happened last season, or this, but if he came to us I'd be very happy.

 

He is on a few quid though.

40 grand a week? He must be on more than that to put off so many clubs? Cahill would cost that for a loan.

I'd be surprised if ANY respectable manager would want to manage Chelsea.

Unfortunately the way the game is, clubs don't seem to have a problem securing managers no matter how ridiculously they behave.

Look at Southampton. Absolutely outrageous - but the timing good for us!

With Guardiola going to Bayern, it makes a position in Germany seem more attractive and more likely

Interview in the Daily Record.........

" It was a fantastic 20-odd years I’d had but it hit me like a train to know I was no longer going to be an Everton player"

Its a credit to our scouting system that we've watched him 5 times already, seeing as he's only played 20 times. Lets be honest, how many of us knew he was a prospect?

Fair play to the lad, looks like he has a great attitude and I hope he does well. And I'd like to hope he does well with us.

A stint on loan would do Tolis the world of good - get him playing from the start in competitive matches and he should be able to boss Championship defenders around. One of the problems he has is that we prefer to play 1 up front and for that you need a goal poacher/clinical striker type of player e.g. Jela, Suarez, Ba, and Tolis isn't just that type of player.

While we persist with the current tactic in the majority of games, he's unlikely to get many starts. More likely to come off the bench when we need to change things.

Clearly, we need to bring in another striker to support Jela and allow Tolis to go on loan.

Ossie didn't even make his debut until he was 21. Like Barkley he had a bad injury that set him back a year and then he had spells with Carlisle (in the 3rd tier) and Derby County (in the 2nd tier) and then started to get onto the bench for the first team.

I know we're hopeful that Ross will be the next big thing but there is no need to rush him. Let him develop at his pace and then we can reap the rewards.

Foul on Jags (missed by the ref), and the goal scorer shouldn't have been on the pitch. Sterling shouldn't have been on either. Ref was biased, no blaming it as honest mistakes. Although the throw-in before our goal was fortunate but it was a 50/50 call in real time, whereas most decisions against us have been clear cut.

I'll refer you to Marco at 10.53am today. Blue tinted specs and all that.

but if all sides get bad decisions against them which sides got them against Everton - seems very odd to me that they all get bad decisions exept against Everton by large - put differently - if it happens all the time against all sides why does Everton seldom benefit from those bad decisions agaist other teams?

Liverpool in the last minute of the Derby??

If Moyes did decide after the January transfer window that the club's ambition does not match his, which club would he be looking at joining that would match his ambition?

Looking at this article, there are only 12 club jobs in the world that are paying more than Everton!

This should bump the price up too..........

Yes, I remember thinking that Tim Howard had scored as many league goals as most of our strikers!! We're undoubtedly better going forward this year. I think that the supposedly tougher games coming up will suit us better than those we're expected to win easily.

Last year we didn't have Pienaar, Jelavich, Oviedo, Naismith, Mirallas or Hitzlsperger.

Or Gibson. Our dip over the last 2-3 weeks has coincided with a number of our most influential players being unavailable. No coincidence there. It's also coincided with Jelavic being not so prolific as he has been to date. All strikers have a lean spell - wait until Suarez has his

I didn't get around to reading if the sarcasm font has been implemented so I've got a horrible feeling you're not joking

I've never been fortunate enough to enjoy the catering at Finch Farm but whatever they're doing, keep it up. Maybe we can get her to do a stint at Schalke?

I'm thinking it must be better than the tea at GP on match day!!

stop licking his arse like everyone else has for years, technically the worst player in the squad yet he starts centermidfield for us nearlly every game if you knew anything about football you would no he's a backup fullback at best and even then he weakens the team.

 

that formation for an away game is attacking but defending away from home now gets you nothing in this league.

Ha ha. I bet Moysie would swap all his Manager of the Month awards for yours any day of the week

Seems it's not just Everton that have had their issues with Communications in recent times. Thank heavens we'd never plumb the depths that the RS sink to.

Who would ever have guessed that they were paranoid underachievers..........?

Dynamite stuff

 

To be honest mate I totally missed Johnny at RB just looked at the midfield and upfront

 

Coleman has to start at RB He's finally getting a solid run out and He's doing a good job but the main issue for Me is Neville and Osman in the middle.

 

Neville is to negative and these days apart from pointing the finger and having the odd rant doesn't offer very much! Also Osman wo can have moments of magic fades away in games to often and isn't consistent enough so neither compliments or picks up for the other.

 

I'd rather have this

 

---------------------Howard

 

Coleman-----Distin------Johnny-----Baines

 

----------------------Gibson

 

Mirallas------------Osman-------------Pienaar

 

---------------Naismith

-----------------------------Jelavic

Take your point and I have no problems with your line up. I think though that if Fellaini is unavailable (and it looks like he may be fit) that Moyes will go with Neville instead of Naismith with Mirallas and Ossie interchangeable on the right and in the hole.

I can see this one rolling on for a while as he's getting 1st team currently but at a lower level but still a decent standard league wise... so is it too early to move?!

 

He's stuck between a rock and a hard place!

His agent was unusually coy. People in glass houses..............

Why's that??

 

When was the last time we played 4-3-3. And Johnny at right back? Come on, I'm a big Heitinga fan but he got murdered by pace at Wigan.

And Mirallas in front of Pienaar down the left? That would stifle them both. Apart from that........
