1878

Puyol annoys me far, far more. He's such a shithouse but acts like a hardman when it suits him. The way he went down off Ramos' little push then sprang up shouting the odds once there was 20 yards & several players between them was hilarious Barca were just amazing tonight though.

I would like to see any of Jol, Coyle, Di Matteo, Pellegrini, Magath. Wouldn't be keen on O'Neil or Hughes at all. Despite the rubbish strikeforce we still have a squad which should be higher in the table and is underperforming massively. I don't know if things are going on behind the scenes but I'm seeing quality players just going through the motions most weeks. He won't get sacked though (and I'm not saying he deserves to at this stage either).

His confidence looks shot to bits in front of goal. I don't think Moyes being so blunt in the post-match interviews will do that any favours either. His movement to get into goalscoring positions is actually very good. Says it all that despite missing those chances yesterday he still did way more in 30mins than Yak & Saha have done combined in the last few games. Our strikeforce is a joke. At the minute, I wouldn't care in the slightest if anyone except Cahill & Baines left. Including Moyes.

Exactly. He was a poor Everton manager and should have been sacked at least a year before he finally got the bullet, 2 years imo. The sides he had here were negative & boring but he never managed to grind out positive results the way he did in that UEFA Cup run at Rangers. That was just a total fluke. It was usually draws (I rememeber one season we set some sort of record for 0-0 draws) or losing with a whimper.

Saha doesn't really have a chant here... more a collective groan.

He's crap imo. Nowhere near the quality needed for a title challenger.

We were on top apart from 20mins in the first half. If we had a decent striker (or even if he just started Yak) we'd have won that no danger.

He was very good in the second half of the season but then spent the summer spouting off about moving elsewhere in the Dutch press. He's been a joke since he came back from the World Cup.

Wouldn't bank on that. He's always seemed in awe of Saha for some reason. Plays him whenever he's fit without fail.

You want Yak and Rodwell in as well? Not a clue what Yak has done to be playing second fiddle to Saha. He was getting some form back, scored against Stoke, then got dropped. Yep. Heitinga has been sulking on the pitch for half a season now and clearly doesn't want to be here. He's pathetic. Rodwell deserves to play 100%. The whole scenario of Yak getting back to fitness, playing well and being dropped for absolutely nothing is a farce. Especially when the replacement is so poor. His tactics & selections are just baffling.

Moyes playing Saha & Heitinga AGAIN Fuck off.

Is Steve Zakuani any good? He's coming on trial at Everton for a few days

Don't think they'd sell him unless the price was ridiculous. Could cost them promotion.

Sometimes you need a centre forward on the left wing to pass it sideways and backwards. Every team needs one. He hasn't played in ages and it clearly isn't his best suited role, however he hasn't done much wrong. Leave the poor boy alone. By the way didn't Moyes try to sign him after the loan, but couldn't agree a fee? Couldn't have been that abject surely. He was just stuck upfront alone too often. Anyway, enough of this Jo stuff. I think he's alright, but I'm beginning to sound like his dad or his agent or something. No. He got him on a second loan spell to make up the squad numbers and then ended up sending him back to City half a season early because he was shit and unprofessional. Not a good combo.

Erm, Moyes has already played him on the left a lot and he was total rubbish.

Jo is awful. Not a fan of Adebayor as a person but he's been one of their best performers every chance he's got this season. Should be starting with Tevez most weeks.

Lescott throwing his career down the tubes had done me a lot of favours tbf. From one of the best in the league to Dedryck Boyata understudy, great move Joleon

Or the top 20. Maybe even the top 30. I can't stand watching him play. He's become the most pedestrian footballer I've ever seen.

Can't believe Jags is playing right back. He's crap there.

Was already going downhill towards the end of his time with us. He then got a very serious injury at Fulham and has hardly played... I'd stay away from that one.

No. /close thread

aye, of Middlesboro. I thought it was a Liverpool fan? Unless I'm getting confused with Sky...?

Song handball when he 'blocked' a shot inside the box. I was sitting directly behind it at the Gwladys Street.

MOTD haven't even shown the fucking penalty or the clear red card that wasn't given. Horrible twats. You can tell the editor is a red shite...
