Not a single one of them mate, different breed to your average home game goer. Not one of them will boo the team they are absolutely passionate about it.

I don't like the idea that someone has got off the bugle bus stellared up and is using something potentially lethal around packed stands. Stick to banners and songs - sorry to be boring but thats the way it is. This whole "away fans" vs "home fans" thing makes me laugh. I have been to around 15 away games and yes they are more jovial and full on but that is the nature of the "were outnumbered let be noisy and supportive". I have seen the same people at an away game that were at homes games and they behave totally different. On the away day its like a big "I'm representing Everton as a minority fan - lets outsing the home side" - then when its the home game they are just the same as the rest of the home fans. Funny isn't it - Barkley has had some of his better games away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 There was a 10 minute spell in the first half when Barkley was dictating the play. Hope that's a sign of what he'll eventually end up like. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Gotta say Barkley is proving me massively wrong this season and long may it continue. He's looked excellent so far this season. His decision making has improved MASSIVELY he is looking up, he is passing and he is a joy to watch. I'm always first to jump on the lads back but credit where it's due he's been outstanding up to now. Please keep it up Ross and make me look stupid, loving you proving me wrong and genuinely delighted for you. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 He looked fucking brilliant coming from deep. I know it was only Barnsley but he really took charge and dominated for us. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 The thing I liked best about his performance, with five minutes to go the camera went on him and he was shouting at his team mates to keep pushing on. I hope that is the start of him leading the other players, and showing a stronger influence in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 He looked fucking brilliant coming from deep. I know it was only Barnsley but he really took charge and dominated for us. He did it vs Southampton too. Said it before, the break has done him the world of good. Probably Stones having the limelight is helping too.

markjazzbassist Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Favorite player now, love Ross. He's really turned it up this year and I'm glad rm is playing him centrally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Keep an eye on when Ross and Gerry are playing together, off the field they must get along well because Ross instantly looks for Gerry when he's on the ball. Couldn't be happier with his form and IF these young ops keep developing we are going to have some incredible young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Barkley not all that noticeable first half, though the opposition is so discombobulated and the pitch so mediocre that it's hard to take much from the match, other than the win. Barkley's header was perfect. I'd say Vardy's pace was impressive, Shelvey's surprising command and excellent long passing, Milner very active, Stones strong. Too bad Rooney's record-tying goal was a PK from a controversial penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner has always been average at best for England when it matters. Kane one season wonder (despite a decent goal) and Delph (who was crap) will go the way of Rodwell. Not Ross's best performance but a good goal and a brilliant assist on a shite pitch, he'll be an England player for a long time, as will Stones.

Don't think Kane is a one season wonder myself, great all round attributes. All strikers go through periods where they don't score goals. His all round game, ability to link up play and attitude will see him ok. Shelvey, Milner,,,, meh. Shelvey decent player but not a replacement for Gerrard.

To be honest, it's an embarrassment that Vardy is even in the squad and shows just how little English striking talent there is these days. Barkley should also have had another assist late on if not for Kane being a clumsy fool - that lifted pass over the defence was perfect.

Begrudging praise is my guess. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
