Hi Simon. Is it true that your surname begins with a lower case letter?

Have to say, Butters' reincarnation is far better than the original

Barkley will be captaining Mansfield to mid-table obscurity within the next 3-4 years.

And that would make you happy I suppose.
Enjoy supporting Everton until RAWK take you back.

What if Ross was a player we bought from Russia?

I think Butters previous incarnation was a one way trip to the glue factory.

But like Eric, he's back, and ok, next time he is doing gooder

Apologies if this has already been posted, just thought it was a useful table for putting negativity about Ross's recent performances in context.

Surely not? I thought he was having a terrible season and that's why people want him dropped and why the manager is treating him like a red headed stepchild?

Those stats include corners... I can take a corner for gods sake... does is show how many players run past him with the ball? Or his shots on target ratio? Or times he has misplaced 6 yard passes?

His pass completion percentage is usually in the 90s which would answer the third one. I agree he's weak defensively but that's not really his role in the team. I'd argue the benefit of playing 2 defensive mids is that you don't need your attacking mids to defend as much. I can't imagine city fans complain about David Silva's defensive contribution as long as he's creating opportunities.

Having spent years watching Everton players hit the first man with corners I guess I don't think they're as straightforward as you do!
