Oh I hate Llambiarse so much.

Seem to be quite a few players missing. Note that it is Krul's turn to play in reserves, so fitness permitting, Forster is on the bench for the first team next game.

Our record against the top six has so far been good though. Only Arsenal and Liverpool have beaten us. The bigger worry is the points we drop against our rivals, those so called six pointers. Only against West Brom have we really come out on top. Five of our remaining 12 games shall be against the top 5, and I can't see us recrreating positive results, then you've got the added confidence knockdown and our inferior performances in six-pointers as mentioned to worry about.

Similar to NJS's criticism of Jonas in the match thread...with so many bad players in our squad, I find it weird how people are concerned about two of our better players in their respective positions. Left back and left wing are the least of our problems IMO, although it would be nice to have some back up for Enrique. I think we can get away with cover from Raylor if we strengthen other positions. I'd rather we signed a decent midfield than spunk good money on a full back. Is there any evidence to suggest Raylor makes a good left back? He seems decidedly right footed to me. Besides, we need him in midfield anyway. We are crying out for one or two central midfielders AND a left back for cover. Unfortunately, we've been saying this for the last two years; our "system" seems to unable or unwilling to deliver.. I think that the fact that he played left back a lot for Wigan is good enough to indicate that he can COVER Enrique. With Kadar and Bassong providing other alternatives, a penny spent on another left back, be it transfer or wages, is a penny wasted. Same goes for right back with Beye, Raylor and Saylor.

Always get coolsmiley and rolleyes mixed up. I think we need a new smiley for when that kind of event happens.

Up from 9 to 8, we have made a move in the right direction, but now we've got some tough games coming up soon that could break confidence.

Shut up will you, this is embarassing.

What do you expect with ten men? Don't be silly, it was a good result and performance.

Nice point. Would have taken it if offerred at start of game.

ALAN SMITH HAS WON A FREE KICK!

Smith seems more lethargic than a team full of knackered players.

FYP

Feillaini smacked Butt in the face.

Just under a third of Everton's goals have come in the last ten minutes.

Butt has had a reasonable game tbf.

How long did it take Smith to fuck something up? Smith is one of the few not to give away a penalty this season. Butt down.

I'm worried about Lescott going forward and taking advantage of our lack of numbers. Lovenkrands off for Smudge.

That ex-player thing is gonna bite us on the arse isn't it?

Everton's defence is too good have Oba sorted. Should have gone for Viduka, and hoped Lovenkrands could find some flick ons.

Butt or Raylor I reckon, probably Raylor.

Smith coming on soon.

Raylor has cramp :S

What other options are there? Smith? Geremi? We're doomed!
