Let's not forget the wonderful bit of control by Perch where no Stoke player was nowhere near him and he gave them a throw in

He was awful today - scored the pen and missed a chance at the end, other than that did now - fat, waste of space

Should have taken Nolan off

Off to the match in a bit - need the 3 points HOWAY THE LADS

Shearer calling David Silva on MOTD twice was

I didnt watch the match so cant comment on that Though I watched the reserves against Chelsea and he didnt offer much support to Newton - though he was playing out of position at RM I do like the look of him and he seems to have some quality about him - reckon it might be worth sending him out on loan for a little while

Aye Williamson seriously needs to stop holding players - he got away with a fair bit against Everton

He seemed fairly quick when he won the ball and advanced into the Chelsea box

Krul will be fine - the problem will be if he gets injured

He seems like the kind of player that will be awesome going forward BUT not do a great deal when the opposition has the ball A luxury player like Riquelme if you like

After Shola's performance maybe it is worth going 4-4-2 BUT doubt very much we will see a changed side from the Everton match

We hardly featured - they showed a couple of goals by Adam Campbell, a very short interview with him (about 10 seconds) then showed us missing a pen against colo colo in the QF

Just before the Mackem game Yup...does that change anything for anyone? I guess we will have to wait closer to the time - if we put some distance between us and 18th spot then maybe we should go for it - though it will depend on what team we get

Just before the Mackem game

Nope - was banned for Chelsea match

Perch's positioning is shocking - Etherington will destroy both of them, at least Taylor offers us something going forward

When is the next round played?

1-1 The changes from the Everton side would be Krul to start and Raylor in place of Perch

Get the fuck in Awesome result and sounds like it was a class performance as well Hope we can get a decent home tie next

Resting Carroll is a must - seems to just about make it for the games as it is - he is needed for the Stoke game

I would rest the key players as Sundays game is more important

That was a canny game - I missed the first goal We played very well and were overall the better side - need to sort that final ball out That free kick by Dummett was criminal and ultimately led to the Chelsea winner - don't know what he was thinking Newton you could tell was playing out of position, struggled a bit and the chelsea left sided players had some pace - also with Vuckic playing ahead of him he didnt get the support he needed Campbell put in some quality slide tackles BUT he still looked a bit off the pace Kadar was solid, played well at left back and even when he moved into the middle Vuckic struggled in the 1st half, should not play down the right BUT towards the end of the game he was looking quality - came close to scoring a stunning half volley, just going wide Donaldson had a good game - missed his goal BUT he played well McLaughlin was okay - seems to have a bit of quality about him BUT gave the ball away at daft times though and seems a little on the soft side Ferguson was good, is quick and has some tricks, put in some decent crosses Edmundson seems canny, has a good touch and some pace Ranger played well BUT he needs to make decisions quicker at times, holds onto the ball too long - is a real handful and put the Chelsea defenders under lots of pressure

I will be going

I think he will go with an unchanged side - I hope im wrong because Alan Smith should not be starting

Jonas can't cross and he can't shoot - we have known that for some time now BUT he is certainly not shit, far from it I don't think he played particularly well, needed to make his decisions a bit quicker BUT it's just 1 game - no need to overreact and make it out like he is rubbish
