Everton v QPR. 15th Dec at 20.00.

Seemed like a solid win but having skimmed through the posts...it sounds like it was a poor performance. It just goes to show that you can't judge a match from the scoreline lol Still, a win is a win is a win.

Amazing to think that nearly 18 years have passed since Richard Dunne made his debut for Everton (FA Cup vs Swindon 3-0 at Goodison 5th January 1997) - some of the legends he played with that day (and how far back their careers go (Watson, Southall etc.)

In fact thinking along those lines you can trace Everton careers back to Dixie in 6 or 7 steps - Sagar, Jones (and others), Labone, Lyons (or Kendall), Southall...

...it was an amazing stat that 18 years have gone since Dunne made his debut. I watched him come through the ranks (came from Home Farm I think), his size and frame suggested he couldn't run but he was always fleet of foot. Met his folks a Bellfield and you could see where his size came from. 18 years, how time flies.

Wolfsberg are a good team - we did well to beat them twice!

they are and it puts me in confidence this year about doing well.

more happy to see lukaku racing away in germany, or clinicially naismith killing them off at goodison. Great moments this year so far for me.

I don't think the performance was as bad as suggested, but it had a certain level of 'meh' to it that has characterized our whole season so far. I'm delighted with the win and there was some reasons to be optimistic, such as Naisy's return and Besic and Barkley's performances.

.....absolutely. Think he went off the rails a bit and Kevin Keegan brought him back from the brink. He's been around for a long time and I wouldn't mind being £1 behind him.

Soton away is causing me deep consideration on my accy. They must be due a bounce back after 4 consecutive defeats. Kone needs to start this game.

Has anyone else noticed that Lukaku cannot win a ball in the air?

Jumps under the ball by 1 metre every time. Scared of getting hit by the CB.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Barkley and Besic in the centre, The Dream Team.

Dream Team indeed.

 

[streeky]

That's not his game though... He's not that player. You don't want Lukaku with his back to goal - that's why he's much better with Barkley in the number 10.

Why pay 28 million for a counter attack striker in a team that plays possession based football

 

[Toffeelover]

Probably a bit risky, but what a great and long partnership it would be if it worked. Not going to happen anytime soon, though, I
don't think.

Well both are way over 30 how many seasons left in them?
