Nebbiolo
Valuation: £108 million
Another disappointment last night. To be honest, I don't feel as gutted as I thought I would. It was always going be to difficult and who knows, just one goal more for in the 90 minutes may well have seen us through. At least we weren't thrashed, which is a crumb of comfort.
When reading Moyes on the official site two things struck me. First, he vows to get things back together and he says his future is at Everton. To me that is a clear sign that he wants to put all this crap behind him and get us back to the team we were last season. That appears to be fighting talk. Let's hope he still feels that way in the coming months.
Second thing is he's still offering lame excuses for another poor performance. This time, as he can't blame it on the difference in the cost of the team, he's making much of the referees decision not to send off Steven Dafour, which, he claims, is a big factor in how things panned out. He goes onto say that he feels let down by that.
My view is that we lost for this simple reason: the better team was Liege, over both legs. Simple as that. If we'd played Liege off the park, yet still lost, then I'm happy to hear about poor refereeing decisions. But when we deservedly lose because of a poor performance by the team and management, I want to know that everything will be done to ensure such events are kept to a minimum.
Still, I know Moyes can pull things back together again. It's not too late for him and the season isn't over yet. We've still got a European place to fight for, which should be our priority. There is also the FA cup to follow. A good run in that would make us all feel optimistic again.

And Kenwright and Moyes, please sort that sodding contract out now.
