Hope Moyes keeps Barkley in today, he needs to get game time, leave him out and he will lose his confidence, he did well the other night. Come on Moyes give the youngsters a change.

I'll leave the Carroll talk alone for a while as the feather of a lesser known bird is the top bid atm and offer my opinion on the pfa awards.
Hazard- inconsistent and hasn't lived up to the 32m price tag.
Suarez- great player but is just a vile human being.
Van Persie- bad spell previously but scores goals.
Mata- great and imo deserves to win it.
Bale- I'll get moaned at for this, I think Bale is badly overrated by the media and fans alike and only had a good spell for 2 months this season, he will win it but undeservingly so.
Carrick- really? May as well throw John Obi Mikel, Joe Allen and Rory Delap in as well as Carrick is just another 'okay' player he gets a good passing percentage because he passes backwards and sideways and puts in about 2 good tackles every year.
Plus where on earth are Baines and Michu in this? What a joke.
COYB! {Ed025's Note - i agree on the baines and mucha shouts phil...but IMO bale has been superb mate..

Muchas performance in goal was great against man city mate but I don't think he should be in it yet ;).
COYB!

Be realistic mate, is a left back for a non-European team really going to get player of the season? {Ed025's Note - its the EPL awards, why would playing in europe matter?..
Agree0

Fairly certain the OP said Michu of Swansea not Mucha but I could be Wrong :)

Crunch time weekend as I for one can't see arsenal Tottenham and Chelsea all winning I see someone dropping points so we must win Saturday if we don't I think it's over for top 4 I think arsenal will win spurs will loose and Chelsea will draw so we could be right in mix after that but Liverpool is a game I fear as we don't ever seem to play well against them but in saying that we must be due to beat them {Ed025's Note - if we do win, we are right back in the mix..

i don't know about u eds or other evertonians but how about putting a cheeky bid in for andy carroll {Ed025's Note - do you think they would accept two bob, and a dead mouse?..because thats all hes worth mate..

I have to disagree ed, he is good at what he does which is heading and uses his height and strength to his advantage unlike the likes of Peter Crouch and Olivier Giroud, I've always lilked Carroll he was never worth 35m but I think he is a decent striker and I think he is better than the likes of Borini, Sturridge, Torres. Just my opinion.
COYB! {Ed025's Note - 20 years ago, i might have agreed phil, but for me the game has moved on, and the quick skillful forwards like messi are the ones most sought after mate..
Agree0

Then you clearly have not heard of Falcao or Higuain then mate.
COYB!
Agree0
Disagree0
Phil please don't compare Carroll to either Falcao or Higuain, its embarrassing. Both are fantastic and have a lot more to their games than Carroll. Higuain has 16 this season, Falcao 24 and Carroll 6. Ed is correct the game has progressed and Carroll is not good enough at other aspects of the game for us or anybody else in the top half of the league.

Carroll is a bit like a typecast actor i. e. there would be certain roles or in his case matches he would be surplus to requirements, ask Brenda see if he doesn't agree with me? £35mil. and he tells John Henry what he can do with him?
Great if he could just come on for the set pieces though!

I'm not comparing them I'm just saying heading is still a key aspect of the best of players games, I don't want us to put a bid in for Carroll I just don't think he is as bad as everyone thinks he is and that he is worth a bit more than what ed said and I won't compare him to Falcao because Falcao has more to his game but I can compare him to the likes of Llorente for example who if you took away his power and height he would be a pretty poor player and the same applys to Carroll.
COYB! {Ed025's Note - he is worth a bit more than i suggested phil...im upping it to 2 dead mice.. :)
Agree0

Ok Phil you sold me, I'll up the ante to 3 bob 2 dead mice and a piece of mouldy cheese______
Ed0025 Beat that!
Blue247 :) {Ed025's Note - 3 bob, 2 dead mice, a piece of mouldy cheese, and the tail feather of the lesser known speckled back mollywopsie bird.. :)

Ed0025: Why you high roller you!
I'm out, that's too rich for me
Blue247 {Ed025's Note - you have to go the extra mile if you want a player like carroll 247..

Absolute disgrace that Baines hasn't been nominated for PFA of the year? Michael Carrick even got nominated? {Ed025's Note - we are seen as the poor relations scouse, these people who pick the nominees cant see outside manchester and london, what does a guy have to do get a break?..
Believable0
Unbelievable0
I haven't seen the nominations, but surely Carrick is a joke isn't it?
I'd go for
1. Suarez
2. Bale
3. RVP
4. Mata
5. Michu
6. Baines
Mike
Agree0

I agree with Carrick, its Hazard I can't get my head around. One good game in four. {Ed025's Note - fair point mate..
Agree0

19 Apr 2013 16:57:15
Mike the closet red strikes again {Ed025's Note - i think his picks are very fair mate..
Agree0
Disagree0
I'd say the same as Mike but I'd put Baines above Michu simply because Michu isn't as consistent as Baines. He's went off the boil the last few weeks, whereas Baines has performed well week in, week out.

The list is;
Bale - very talented but too many highlights of diving
Carrick - Can`t see that one myself, bit of an average player
Hazard - Hasn`t performed consistently and kicks ball boy`s
Suarez - Diving cheat who knowingly kicks other players
Van Persie - Scores goals
Mata - Skillful driving force in Chelsea midfield
Out of the six, i`d pick Mata, but he still doesn`t come close to Baines in terms of assists and overall play. Euro stats back that up.
COYB!
Agree0
Disagree0
Carricks passing statistics are pretty incredible in fairness. Like the other poster, I think Hazard is the suspect one. Been overshadowed by Mata all season
Agree0
Disagree0
Carrick has run the soon to be champions midfield completely this season. He more than merits a place in that list. {Ed025's Note - he has been very good mate, and consistent..
Agree0
Disagree0
Carrick has been terrific this season. any1 who says otherwise is disturbed
