The players in front of him at better for England for sure but things such as 'hoof from the back' for Everton vs pass to the midfield for England are down to the coaching/player. I agree making a mistake every game isn't good enough but isn't that also where the football cliche of 'form is...

Jags for England is better than Jags for Everton. Now tell me our defensive issues aren't coachable.

True the defence is leaky...but that's coachable. Midfield lacking guile? I'd say lacking the license from manager to be a bit more creative. They're incredibly well coached to get into position but that's when the movement stops. And yep, no depth in strikers. Aside from the strikers I don't...

I peruse quite a few message boards in my quest for any Everton related information and some of them seem to be full of either 1.Football is ****ed, 2.Everton are ****ed and you're a mug if you continue giving money to the club or 3.A combination of both. For the record my current feeling...

I watched the game in t'internet live feed and thought we did well. Looked like Coleman and Drenthe got at them, first half in particular and got crosses in the box reguarly. If anything we needed a target man a la Vellios to basically get on the end of it. I do agree with the poster who says...

My thoughts on today: - Drenthe tore them apart, great engine and needs to be signed up asap. - All those balls in to the box (first half in particular) needed a target man. We're about ten years too late for Dunc so how about starting Vellios? - Wolves defended, ironically, like dogs. They...

I wouldn't mind Gus Poyet though we'd end up repeating the 'our boss to go to Spurs' groundhog day scenario :) I think the squad is basically too 'comfortable'. They know no moneys there to bring in competition for places and likewise the old Moyes guard aren't going to be sold due to low...

Chelski for me, trophy success in my lifetime is very limited and means way more when we get close.

I really hope we get to a 4-3-3 formation with Felliani, Rodders and Barkley sooner rather than later although 4-3-3 and Moyes may be a step too far :p

Usually it's up early, watch ridiculous amounts of Everton montages on Youtube 'sharing' them to all and sundry across my Facebook...texting red mates with banter....get in the pub around 11 and get drinking...meet earlier texting red mates...realise there's only me and perhaps one other (if I'm...

I'm going, my first live derby game :) It's going to be a long train ride home if we lose :(

What are everyones thoughts on playing a wing back formation? Howard Heitinga (sweeper) Coleman (RWB) Jagielka Distin Baines (LWB) Fellaini Rodwell Barkley Cahill Vellios or Saha For me, Cahill is far more effective when he can ghost in to the box. When he's a striker he's a niggly...

I'd like to see: Mucha Hibbert Heitinga Distin Neville Coleman Barkley Rodwell Drenthe Cahill Vellios I think Tims miles better coming from deep where he's harder to mark as he sure as hell isn't a centre forward for all his industrious play, replace when we're winning to keep him fresh for...

I think Moyes wouldn't let him go. Sure Moyes is stubborn in these situations but I think he'll look for a reaction rather than cast him out in to the wilderness. With a tough October coming up this could be mind games for him 'Look Louis, you want to play? Prove it. Train hard, get in the team...

yeah sorry, my bad for not being clear! My mates are Liverpool fans and they're in the Liverpool end through Thomas Cook. Thomas Cook only do home tickets so I was wondering what my chances are for getting in the away end. For the Anfild game I mean, not the Goodison one, I'm sorted for...
