Why are we using Gatorade as a healing agent?

Oh and Rodwell's back to his former self - passing extremely bad.

Pontius hits the post too.

Get up, Sylvain. I need you. My loins need you.

I accept that Cahill is limited. I really can't imagine a situation though where we could say that we can do without his 10 goals a season. Is Beckford capable of another 5-10 to help make up the difference? Can Ossie go from 4 goals during a campaign to 10?

If Arteta, Osman, Saha, Beckford and Coleman scored just 2 each more over 38 games they'd replace Cahills goals wouldn't they?

And i'm not saying he should never play, just he shouldn't be a guaranteed starter regardless of formation or opposition, there are ways of strengthening the team without him playing.

I could, but it wouldn't be given a go.
Either he plays as an out and out target man striker, or not as a midfielder imo.
Yes, Beckford (and the supposed second striker) can score 10 more, with someone providing him with assists or at least passes that put him in good positions. Cahill doesn't offer that - he offers team spirit (so to say), goals from set pieces/crosses (which don't work against every opposition, although when he's on the field we try and do ONLY that).

Can it now, this is the most stupid argument to be had.

Billy hits the crossbar.

Kuyt does the same for Holland. He offers very little apart from goals, but they find a position for him tucked into the midfield.

Sell Jags ffs Kenwright!

Haha! Little Americano kids with Everton shirts on!

Get in.

Cahill's presence doesn't make our defence any less effective. He was a key player when we used to nick games 1-0.

No mate. See the bigger picture. The formation we used, the one that benefits ONLY HIM, you know, made him the key player in a style which only allows us to nick games 1:0.

Because Idiocracy was a documentary.

Dwayne with stepovers?!?!?!?! Tee-hee. Hey, Everton kids looking great in the new kits!

Yes. And he has this thing which Cahill doesn't - creativity.

If they were capable of doing that, why aren't they doing that? It would be a 50% increase in goals, on average, for Arteta, Osman and Coleman.

Nothing new here then.
Everton took over from Ebepton.

Because you are stubborn and refuse to see what everyone's written.
