Graham Carr must really hate Pardew. Why on earth has he stayed so long scouting talent for a manager who sees the benefit of a new deal for Ameobi.

Wasn't Moyes frustrated with the low budget at Everton and having to replace his better players when the big clubs come in? Can't see why he'd want to do that here and build a team up all over again only to encounter the same problems he did at Goodison. I'd love him here mind.

Everton played good football the last couple of years he was there. A lot of play running through Baines. They weren't a hoof ball side at all. Moyes is 10 times the manager of Pardew. Not so sure he'd fancy it here, maybe if Ashley fucks off.

There'll be all sorts of compensation talks ongoing, it's not as straightforward as saying "here, yee, gan yem."

Nah, we'll wait on Cisse's return from injury and play the newly signed De Jong up front until then.

Yeah, Jones did the right thing. Buttner was more concerned about being done for pace on the flank than staying with his line.

Simple football from Everton but it's so effective. Rooney is just getting in the way out there.

This is embarrassing as fuck.

Every team will struggle with the heat, it might give us a small advantage to pick more of those players who haven't had the extra cup games, or introduce those who have at a later stage presuming we progress.

His contract was up and he wanted the move.

I rate him but just feel he's a bit inexperienced to be in from the start at international level just now. Probably the best of our options given he can play with Gerrard in a title challenging team. Just feel he's comfortable at Liverpool, he knows his role to a tee, familiar faces around him... We'll see. Great turn around for him if he does start the first group stage game. Couldn't have seen that happening when he first signed for Liverpool.

He's standing fairly composed. If he was sitting on the floor or being held up by his companion then aye, alarm bells would be ringing. Maybe he's picking up a few mates or just popped into the club for an hour.

I'd feel a bit nervy with Henderson in the side but there is some merit to the argument of playing as many Liverpool players as we can.

He's been here a few years and this is the first time he's been spotted in a fast food place. Some fans just can't cope with the idea that footballers aren't at the training ground 24/7.

Another Saturday off work and another Saturday where I genuinely don't care about the result. Sooner both Ashley and Pardew are out the club the better. Such a shit feeling.

I want a Subway now. There's a new one a minutes walk from me, but I know deep down that their breakfast options suck.

So sad.

Luque was half decent but he didn't want the move, then he was marginalised and couldn't be arsed to fight his way back into the side. Waste of talent.

Xiscos career since speaks a lot about his ability. We signed a dud.

He glided with the ball, he was brilliant to watch but he had that side to him that most wingers have, he looked for the foul a lot.

Colback would be a better option at left back than Dummett too.

On a free, bearing in mind how many player we need to bring in and what our budget will be like, Colback is a good signing. He'll do better than people expect. As for clogger, I don't think Colback commits many fouls.

Colback had a good game last night in centre mid. Tidy player, keeps the play moving on and can carry it forward. He doesn't have that killer pass in him but on a free I'd be happy with the signing. Perhaps biased as I went to school with him but he's a canny lad too, despite all the ginger insults you read from no marks on the Internet.

It will be Lawrie Sanchez or David O'Leary. Someone who has been out of football for a while.
