If Beto had finished one of them we win that easily

Get Dibling and Barry on and go for it

Make the subs

be good to see Dibling start but if Ndiaye misses it’s just back to us having nothing off the bench again, which means flogging Grealish for 90 minutes unless we accept the drop off and bring McNeil on. Which no doubt will lead to the inevitable knock Grealish and KDH will pick up just before...

I know we have alternatives now but is it possible to enjoy a player for more than about 3 weeks at Everton before they get a knock

Was he? He captained a trophy winning Arsenal team and this was after snapping his cruciate and being about 50% of the player he was before. 2008/9 Arteta pre injury was absolutely brilliant.

Not really. He’s had two full league games for us. People forget how good Arteta in his prime was.

Rooney James Kanchelskis Arteta Baines Pickford Are top 5 for me. It’s more difficult to rank defensive players. He’s definitely in the top 10.

Well deserved

‘Discussing Liverpool’s difficult relationship with the England team’ aka even though every single English player who turns out for Liverpool gets automatically selected for the England squad, and then has the manager pressured to start them by the media, they’re all absolutely crap because...

But what evidence is there for this really? The vast majority of the players that come through for Everton won’t be good enough to play for the first team. There’s been a few that have hung around far too long which I would agree with e.g Pennington Onyango Garbutt etc. but most of them just get...

It isn’t really though is it. Compared to most mid table PL clubs in the same period we’ve had some very good players come through. How many other mid table PL teams have had players as good as Rooney Rodwell Barkley Gordon come through? Even Baines and Jagielka started off in our academy. Some...

Perhaps we’ll look for that third choice development striker and probably a defensive utility player to cover fullback and CB.

Jose would be brilliant but would last about 2 games.
