Soccer Sat Panel Opinion

Ghost, how is the Yak supposed to get fit if we don't play him because he's not 100%? It's a catch-22 but it's also widely accepted that there's fit and match fit, as nothing can push you as much as a first team match.

I also think his injury plays a bit on his mind, hence the "limping"...you don't want to spend 9+ months out and then go full-on and tear it again and I'm sure the club don't want that either. It's a psychological battle as well as physical; there's going to be some subconscious hesitancy in his game for a while, unfortunately.

Have to agree with most though that a 75% Yak is better than all of our forwards at 100%, bar Saha.

Mate, you forgot Jo there. What games have you been watching?

We can't be using important games as a vehicle to rehabilitate, especially at the moment when we are down to the bare minimum. In an ideal world I suppose Yak would have played less 1st team football and more reserve games.

Don't you blame Jo, don't you do it. Don't fall into your own hypocricy.

It was a general comment aimed at everyone mate, don't take umbrage.





Edit; Is that the first time that words has been used on here, surely?

On the contrary, I was just pointing out that when all fit - Jo is the best striker/playmaker at the club.

Jesus. Here's me getting excited.

How, by praising Jo The Fearless?

By saying Jo is ace when we all know he's clearly not good enough for this level of football.

Anyway, going to watch Spurs destroy Villa, come on Keane - I need some points for my Fantasy league.

You joking me? Are you sure you watch Everton mate?

Right so who are those players you say?

As for Yak, if he isn't fit he shouldn't be playing. Why don't we go with Cahill up front instead, he has proven that he can score goals.

The majority of the team.

Because Cahill has had to play in other positions because of our injuries. And how is Yakubu supposed to gain match fitness if he's not playing?

We need to use him sparingly, for him and the team. Slowly but surely, game by game, he'll get to the level he was at.

He said Jo...*does his best Butthead laugh*

Ghost, IMHO Hull was more important than tomorrow's if only for the confidence lost. Losing to the RS, as much as it pains me to say it, is one thing...but Hull? We're low on confidence and losing to Hull in the manner we did was more damaging than if we'd won and then lost tomorrow. I understand where you're coming from but it's these kinds of matches where Yak's experience is needed, although I don't see him starting tomorrow because of the pace the derbies kick off with for the first 20-30 mins.

Nothing but a win is going to suffice tomorrow and there's enough pressure on us as it is, being a derby. I don't know if I'll be able to watch...I know I won't be able to have my morning coffee, I'll have the shakes already. If I was there I'd have to carry around a barf bag.

I hate derbies when we're in this state...

 

[chicoazul]

Mate, what you saying about Jo?

I hope he leaves us then we'll see what we lost.

Ask Danny what he thinks of Jo?

Yeah we don't rush things at Everton do we. Just hope the season isn't over before it gets started for us.

Danny: in terms of strikers at the club right now, where do you think Jo stands?
