this is utter madness. The one thing I thought moyes got wrong last game was playing heitinga at cb, but I didn't hold it against him because we didn't have a fit right back. Now that Neville is back, Hitzlesperger, who had a fine game, gets dropped, Neville goes back to midfield, jagielka is still at right back, and heitinga is still on the pitch!?

He's playing Jagielka and Neville out of their best positions to accommodate an out of form player who is keeping a perfectly good central midfielder on the bench. and i'm not even going to get started on the dropping of Anichebe who has looked excellent since he returned from injury. Davy, you've made me look like a moron before and I hope you do it again, because I find this team sheet to be simply perplexing.
 
Should win this, we have a stronger team out, hope we get at them from the start and don't let them settle, come on Everton these are there for the taking. COYB!!!!
 
yay..neville starts...yay...obviously barkley is much worse than him...obviously...

Barkley did himself no favours against Chelsea, admittedly with limited game time. He is obviously not ready for the cut and thrust of the Premier League yet. It is never easy at St James Park...its a tough place to go regardless of the Barcodes form. They are scoring more goals than us over the last few games,but are conceding too many. We will have to score at least two tonight. No place for inexperienced youngsters Barkley will be back on the bench or starting v Cheltenham.
 
Love the way people jump to assumptions about Moyes & Barkley.

Fact is, the kid isn't quite ready and the other lads on the bench are more prepared to come onto the pitch than him.

So it's fair enough if he was dropped from the bench, we can only have a certain number.

Moyes gave him a chance against Chelsea and he did nearly cost us, as much as it pains me to say it, game would have been over at 3-1 instead of us fighting for an equaliser.

I love the kid as much as anyone and have seen alot to suggest he is a class act, but have also seen alot to suggest he isn't quite ready yet.
