    Everton v Liverpool. 7th Feb at 17.30.

    Amnesiac is underrated imo. Also, yeah, hope we smash them. Won't though, Gerrard pen/FK guaranteed

    Would you pay £24m for Lukaku?

    I'm not as worried about Rom's first touch as some on here - it's a difficult skill to master when you're that big, and even this season there have been a few games where his touch and link up play has been excellent, so we know he has the ability in him somewhere. For me, the major issue is...

    Muhamed Besic

    I think he needs to learn from our other DMs how to always be available to collect the ball from the centre backs. Too often there were acres of space ahead of the defence against spurs and it just allowed them to press us. Normally Barry is excellent at that but his lack of fitness left him...

    Impact of injuries

    Baines just pulled out of England squad after picking up an injury.

    Roberto Martinez discussion

    Can't believe people are complaining about the standard of our attacking play. Until Mirallas got injured it was exceptional, even without Barkley and Coleman at times (and Lukaku was a major part of that even if parts of his game weren't up to scratch). Until the derby we were scoring at least...

    Luke Garbutt

    I think we should definitely try Garbutt or Oviedo at RB. It's a real pet annoyance of mine that in this country it's considered essential that fullbacks stick to one side. On the continent it's far more natural for a LB to play at RB or vice versa than for a fullback to also play CB, as is...

    Fraser Hornby signs for us

    Hopefully later in his career when his fitness has dropped and he's perhaps let himself go a little, he'll move back into a deep-lying playmaker role, setting the tempo of the game from in front of the defence. A fat controller, if you will.

    Lukaku

    Lukaku is delighting me so far this season. His touch, awareness and all round creative play seems to improved significantly since last season. Not arsed if he doesn't score for a few more games if he keeps his form up, it's when he disappears from games and seems to be in a 90-minute strop...

    Lukaku

    30m euros = £23.7m. Pretty much his par value in my view

    Tim Howard

    Don't know if it's already been mentioned, but last night Tim got the highest number of saves of any goalkeeper in a world cup game ever

    Lukaku

    That's a good record, obviously, but its not as impressive as 32 in two seasons (don't know how many starts). And it also begs the question why did he only get 11 starts in two years? as opposed to Lukaku who was 1st choice for us when fit at a similar age. Not to mention that Rom has proved he...

    Lukaku

    When Alan Carvalho was 18-20 he played for Fluminese and scored 17 goals in 52 appearances. I'm constantly amazed by how many people overlook Rom's age here: over 15 goals in two seasons running (first primarily as a sub) is remarkable. Last season Rom had the highest combined goals and assists...

    Martinez transfers

    I think the OP is being harsh here for reasons that have already been said - Alcaraz is pretty decent for a 4th defender (and those saying Duffy - would you really trust a back line of him and Stones together? Better to only have the one rookie at a time for me), Kone is a proven PL striker and...

    Your First Time at Goodison?

    Everton 1 - 0 Liverpool, 04/05, Lee Carsley. Last minute tickets with my dad, sat in row ZZ or something in lower gwladys, could see about 10% of the pitch between the head of the bloke in front of me (I was only 16 like) and the bottom of the upper gwladys. Still awesome when Carsley's went in...

    Distin

    Bit harsh to write his off after one bad game, no? And personally, I think Stones was more at fault than Distin for the goals we conceded.

    What was missing last night

    We beat Sunderland by one goal; we probably only deserved a draw. We lost to Palace by one goal; we probably deserved to at least draw. That's football, Palace only had like 5 chances and very rarely in those circumstances do a team score three of them. Then again, when Ki had that far post...

    Distin

    Distin has a really annoying tendency to move the ball forward into space really well then to wait just a second too long to make a pass which means he ends up rushing it and skewing it. If he just made the pass slightly earlier then he'd be fine. Either that or he'll go for the long ball when...

    Should he stay or should he go?

    He should stay (if we're able to get him). I think he and Kevin get unfairly maligned because so much of what they try to do doesn't come off - but they try so many times per game that they still end up making a real contribution. Mirallas is joint sixth in the league for number of assists (8...
