On that performance I don't think Jagielka, Baines and Barkley will be in England's next team. Stones will definitely play. He is also a definite future club captain if he stays. He may be young but why not start next season with him as captain.
When you consider the majority of Evertons team last night were current or past internationals it makes the performance even more pathetic. Keenone What we have to remember, is that this is the same bunch of players that performed so well last season. With the addition of McGeady. I am sure that although each player is one year older, they have not all suddenly become past it. There must be another explanation. The only explanations that I can com up with are: Team spirit is less. Tactically something is wrong. All the other clubs are much better. Some other factor that I have not thought of is the difference. Out of all these possible reasons, my heart tells me it must be tactics. Last night RM said we were really good first half when we controlled the game and restricted WBA to very few opportunities. He added that second half we were a bit more "gun ho" and this is expected when you are chasing a game and it gives the other team more opportunities. My own assessment is completely the opposite. I thought we were too cautious and created very few opportunities first half ourselves. I though the middle part of the second half was much more exciting and controlled the game more and looked more likely to get a goal. I therefore blame RM's tactics and idea of how to win games. Hence we have drawn so many. Degsypulford

On current form, them three shouldn't even be playing for our first team! But RH likes defensive minded players (note his choice for world player) so at least two will be safe. Although I think that Stones will be a club captain, whether at EFC or with someone else, it is a little bit early in his career. He still has a lot to learn with regards to the position he plays in, I'd rather he mastered that first. Exciting to think how good he is now and how good he will be in the future. Providing we can keep hold of him.
Degsy, I don't think we were too cautious in the first 45 last night. We were patient on the ball, often going back or sideways. The main reason for this, I thought, was the movement from our attacking players was poor, far too rigid. They didn't seem to be in the right positions at the right time, confidence is lacking throughout. But with you on the tactics shout mate. RM is doing himself no favours at all. The best managers can mix it up depending on who they are playing. They don't stick to plan A every game and hope for the best like our manager. A defeat against Palace should see BK pull the trigger but, IMO, that is too late. We need action now before it gets any worse. The squad team spirit is obviously fractured which is not something we are used to at Goodison. Even with less talented players in recent history, the togetherness has pulled us through at times. This is sadly missing.
Agree with what you say Degsy, although one thought has come to mind to add to the mix. Do you remember back in 94 when Big Joe was appointed? One of the first thing he had to do was bring in fitness coaches as the players were so unfit.
We had a shambles of a preseason, and as you say basically the same squad as last year has not become past it within a few months. With extra European games and not being as fit to start with maybe has a part to play? Wedgewood
I have to say in my humble opinion, we are dead certs for the drop. We won 5 games earlier on.2 of which we were lucky to. Since then we have been terrible until the last 3. In the last 3 we have been average. Its always 60 odd% possession with no penetration. Almost like a training session. I preferred the football under Moyes. Degsypulford {Ed025's Note - if you believe we are certs degs...go to a bookies mate you will make a fortune..
No way could I bring myself to bet against us like that Ed. Likewise, as much as it hurts, I would still be supporting in the Conference.never mind the Championship. Degsypulford
I forgot to say why. as explained in my other posts below, I firmly believe the reason for our poor performances lies with tactics. RM has stated that we will not change the tactics. Enough said. Degsypulford
