Barkley was great yesterday. Won us both free kicks, then went ballistic when Noble brought him down for the second one. Loved him mouthing 'T---' at him as he was getting sent off.

He loves it does our Ross. That's what you get from Evertonians playing for Everton; Pure passion.

I'm so envious of him.

He looks so desperate to impress. So much so that despite his good work in the run and his side gaining a great free kick opportunity and a man advantage with that foul, he was still fuming that he had had his chance taken off him to do something more.

He needs to smash one in the gwladys st net so he can chill out a bit, clearly.

Just channel the aggression though, Ross and you'll be great!
 

Love Charlie Nicholas' second commentary... 'Mirallas is over it again...get out of the way san'

just complete shock that hes stood there its genius. Then builds it up...then goes mental! Watched it about 20 times over the weekend. Also loving the fact it makes Merson do some sort of turkey impression!

Baines - freekicks aside looked backed to his best in the second half. getting forward, piling on pressure, some real dangerous balls into the middle...one in particular that mirallas decided to almost dive out of the way of instead of burying it into the net.

Did anyone else get the feeling...as Baines ran over towards the crowd that he thought about kissing the badge then thought better of it?

really thought for a second he was reaching for it then never. Worried me a bit tbh. Wheres this contract and why hasnt it been signed yet? this definately needs sorting before Jan because I cant handle it again

once Jan comes around mate and we are 3rd in the league and 4 points off the top and already booked our tickets for the Carling cup final, whilst the mancs are languishing in 7th in the league with SAF in as caretaker manager as Moyes has been sacked on Boxing day then Baines won't want to be going anywhere......well in my head that's how things will pan out!

Had a good little chuckle last night reading Red Cafe...and you know something....you might not be far wrong. Sitting with his head in his hands while the world was watching was not a good move by little Ginger Nuts.
 
More than any other PL player.

"Yet Baines's goal-scoring record is not as prolific as his talent would suggest it could be. He netted just two free-kicks last season (one against Newcastle and one for England against Moldova, albeit thanks to a sizable deflection), and only one the previous season (against Swansea). In 2010-11 he scored free-kicks against Chelsea in the FA Cup and Spurs in the league, and in 2009-10 he didn't register any. To put this into context, Ronaldo has scored 18 in that same four-year period for Real Madrid." (The Guardian)

I don't understand why we've been letting Jelavic and Mirallas take freekicks and why Baines hasn't scored a hell of a lot more goals from setpieces.
