We'v got a really good chance of going far in this competition. Especially with Bobby in charge. Feeling quietly confident, we will see what happens when the CL teams get filtered in.

He's unlucky not to score tonight. Wouldnt mind him in a blue shirt!

Besic needs to switch the play more often. He's outstanding at it.

Aye, don'tt fancy him playing he full 90 he's already starting to look a little bit tired. Nobody to bring on though!

Aiden "Emile" McGeady.

There is playing your way out of defence and then there is stupid risky decisions. This season we need to learn what is what.

Why what did I miss??

Fucking hell some people on his forum really ruin it. Grow the fuck up and put your handbags away. Embarrassing, every time I come online I see this.

McGeady probably has more of a licence to stay forward than when he plays with Coleman. Coleman still excites me more than McGeady on that right flank! My favourite player by miles when he's on his game.

His finishing is world class. His first touch and ball control is Championship level!

Working mate. Ready to come home now I'm missing Goodison! Flying back in time for the Darby though!

Good to see the fanbase making the effort from all around the world! Greetings from Africa!

Seems like its been two months not two weeks since we played. Barkley needs to chill out. The back four need to stop giving the ball away so cheaply, Naismith has the right idea but has been struggling, Mirallas quiet and Osman has impressed. There seems to be a lot on tension in the stadium and between the players now!

I revoke that statement.

No need for a yellow for McCarthy.

We've got two on. :dont know:

Fucking hell Barkley. Embarrassing. You're not that player.

Mirallas looking sharp aleady! Good on ya

Howard Hibbert Jags Distin Coleman McCarthey Barkley Osman Mirallas Naismith Lukaku Doubt it, but a possibility.

I dont think Ross would be happy about that though, although I do wish he'd fuck the squad off until we get a knew manager in.

I do understand where youre coming from mate, I just dont think its too much to worry about. Hes a very, very special player.

Can see this being the starting team, maybe with Pienaar replacing Osman. These injuries are fucking horrible. Seems like the best we could pick, we could get nonced defensively without Barry and McCarthy. Im not sure Besic is quite up to scratch defensively at the moment, seems to be trying to shine to bright, which is understandable. Barkley will be a bit restricted going forward too.

I don't know, McCarthey is a reliable player and I dont think he needs to change his game offensively. Which is strange because he had a lot more freedom to roam whilst under Martinez at Wigan. I guess Bobby dosnt want him playing that role. You know what they say, if it aint broke and all..

You make valid points with regards to decision making. Ross is not yet developed, nowhere near. He needs time like any 21 year old player does. I highlighted the point you made about him needing to stop thinking he's better than he is, I disagree. Players this day in age are very arrogant, egotistical people, especially the ones at the top. He needs to believe he is the best, in order to be the best. Decisions will get better, powerful direct runs into the oppositions half is what Ross is about, and I'd rather him get it wrong now than get it wrong in the future. He's trying, which is what is the important thing. He has the ability, he just needs to develop his mental approach that's all. Hodgson has made a terrible decision showing Ross up like that, and needs to encourage him rather than scream at him mid-game, at what he is doing wrong. Its no good for anyone, talk to him after the game, having a pop wasn't going to change anything at that time.

I cant see how its not a red. that was a clear goal scoring opportunity.
