Everton v Stoke. Boxing Day at 15.00.

[GreenTeddy]

Eto'o will probably come on for Mirallas.

Would rather Geads or Kone on myself but ah well

 

[Kantareller]

Can't even see where our next win will come from

Definitely not coming anytime soon

I know what emotion I'm feeling - joy. My stepdaughter has just given birth to a baby boy. Little Joseph arrived at 16.13

Before today I had five grandchildren. My own daughter has five daughters!

 

[R.Reddington]

Bojan is a good talent, fair play

 

[cronullasharks]

I am on here, Man Utd forum, RAWK and ebay ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

How many Everton games you been to this season anyway? I've been to quite a few United games.

I'm Australian mate..

 

[RFUS]

Actually just nodded off for 10 minutes then.

Everton have literally put me to sleep.

 

[Rook]

Baines appears to now be the only one trying to score.

 

[Del]

4 points behind QPR

Our strikers are nowhere near the box. They are always coming short for the ball meaning no threat in the box.

This is something I really don't get. Lukaku gets his goals from running on the ball and running with the ball. He's not [Poor language removed] Anichebe, why he's been made to play with his back to goal all the time is just criminal. All well and good getting Big Dunc in but they're completely different players.

Relegation battle this season I think.

 

[Haston]

Got a six match acca on today, 5 are up and the one letting me down is...... Everton!

 

[orly]

even less shape than before now.

superb

 

[R.Reddington]

Stoke will definitely score again now, we're wide open.

 

[Del]

Come to Goodison, fight for the ball and you will beat us

 

[No8Bally]

Chelsea must have seen Bobby Brown shoes coming when they said £28m for Lukaku. That, at the moment, is a Brenda Rodgers type of signing

 

[Abraders]

Weird that. It's almost like he's being played in the wrong position.

In the few games he has played as the deeper CM, he's made grave mistakes (not like anybody else hasn't, mind).

Obviously the other week he played a bit of a blinder but it's not like he does that every week, a player with the talent surrounding him should be able to play at least to some decency when put on the left.

I seem to remember a couple games, not sure on the opposition, where he tried dribbling the ball out of our own box and further up the pitch only to lose the ball on most of these occasions - and at the time whilst we didn't concede a goal from it, chances were made and the outlook on whether people want him in the centre every game would be different had they scored.

I think Martinez said he wants him to play 100 games to learn more before he plays in the centre, and I understand why.
