Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

Thought Lukaku looked a lot happier with his mate Barkley back with him. He was a lot more mobile and first touch and control a lot better. Hopefully we can kick on from here, some very winnable games between now and Christmas.

Depends how you are comparing us? If you think of the days when we couldn't get the ball off Utd and they would have 80% possession and beat us 4 nil. Or looking at it objectively knowing they have just spent over 100 million on new players as well as the cost of their squad overall. I would bet we had 50% possession and a good few shots on target and at the end except for a fantastic save by De Gea and header off the line. Yes we were not at our best, but to say terrible?

Good result, and not a bad performance, but, (and I know he has been a good servant to our club ) ossie in now a major liability, not strong enough, and certainly not quick enough, to command a starting place in the side, a place on the bench, then an dignified retierment at the end of the season, please.

Ive been saying it for 6 years

Agree with that to, can only really play centre where he cannot be exposed for lack of pace, except his first touch is not good enough and constantly gives the ball away.

Agree0 Disagree0

Who was it took the quick free kick?

Agree0 Disagree0

Osman took the free kick, wait a minute, OSMAN took the quick free kick? Do you know what this means? Any mistakes he ever made can be argued by the fact he passed the ball five yards to baines, oh my god! What a player, new 5 year deal, pay rise and captaincy for him after that mesmerising 5 yard pass, let's hear it for the greatest of all time, evertons number 21 LEON OSMAN

Agree0 Disagree0

Swan, you certainly know how to wind me up. I have not replied to one of your comments in a negative way for ages, but show some respect please. Leon Osman has played for one club only. That is Everton. In 1998 he won the FA Youth cup. In 2002 he was player of the year. He has played over 350 games for us scoring over 50 goals. He has never asked to play for anyone else. In fact other teams have tried to sign him. Yes he is knocking on. Yes he is slower. But tell me, which game did we win 3 nil this season. Did he set up a goal with quick thinking? Most importantly, which player would you pick ahead of him each game? I remember you raving about McGeady and Kone in debates with me last season. Well McGeady played almost every minute this season until this game when Osman replaced him. Tell me again, which game did we win 3 nil? I take my hat off to you for Alcaraz, he played a good game this time, but that's the first decent one I have seen him play too. Anyway, Osman has been a hero more than once and I would have 1 Osman for 10 McGeady's.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Oct 2014 19:59:45
I slagged mcgeady off immensely last season, who tried to sign osman? I remember fulham had interest.fulham.FULHAM.FULHAAAMM. Alcaraz was motm against southampton at home last season, did well against stoke and qpr and came on against man u second half last season and was very good again, granted poor in others, back to mcgeady, he annoys me, he was blamed last season for the smallest things yet osman costs us against sunderland and no one mentions it, however, in terms of ability he is miles ahead of osman, osman has been a loyal servent blah blah blah, so has jags, distin and hibbert, look at the crap they get said about them, but osman is untouchable, he win the youth cup, again, world player of the year here, didn't jonny heitinga win our player of the year once? Hardly a difficult award is it, god knows how many quick free kicks people take a season, kyle walker did it too us last season, why aren't you raving on about him, he shouldn't be shown an ounce of leniency

Agree0 Disagree0

I have to agree with swan on this one, just because he has been a one man club does not mean we owe him anything if he ain't performing to the level expected. He is to slow and lightweight to play down the flank, and he ain't no Pirlo so can't even consider switching to central role, especially with both ross and naisy being more dangerous in this role.
Sorry but there is no room for sentiment in the high paid job of being a footballer, its a case of thanks for the memories and adios imo.

Just miffed that last season everyone was on a Roberto love quest. This season and only 7 games in and people were talking about sacking him. Me get a life?

Watching the game yesterday I turned to my lad and said, ya got to say their No 8 is bossing Villa's midfield and having a cracking game, who is he? He looked at me n said "Dunno", I thought genuinely. I realised after he was being sarcastic, as when I looked after the game who No 8 was. CLEVERLY!!.only saying like!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Oct 2014 14:27:17
He bossed the game? Are you taking the mick? I turned and said did cleverley play today? He said 'yeah number 8', all I saw was number 8 passing sodeways and backwards and getting pushed around by mccarthy, just saying!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2014 19:09:54
I didn't even realise he was playing until he came second best in a tackle with Jimmy Mac. Dodged a bullet there, he is far worse than any of our midfield players. Really hope Villa sign him permanently in January

Agree0 Disagree0

This shouldn't be a shock to anyone anymore.

Clevs is playing = Clevs is being World Class.

Best player on the pitch by a mile yesterday.

I have no doubt that Martinez was suitably impressed.

We are Everton
#Wedontwinanything
That's what we do

Agree0 Disagree0

You only read what you want Swan, every time. Try reading it again. no. still struggling.i said he bossed their midfield!! not ours.
Ohhh n yes Ossie is slow but has an alert mind and pass, see the 3rd and vital goal.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Oct 2014 15:49:45
Still struggling? Nah not really, it was a same sentence thing so I didn't know you asked me to reread it, he bossed nothing, was awful, as usual, osman has an alert mind? Did you watch the palace game? 37 thousand people screaming 'MAN ON!', he still loses the ball and then blames baines, third and vital goal? We were 2 up and had the game wrapped up, they were no threat but again, if someone like mcgeady or pienaar does that pass no one mentions it but loyal leon osman? Just give him the ballondor now

Agree0 Disagree0

Think about it, he receives a ball when everyone is shouting man on, right on the edge of the box, think i'd be blaming Baines too!! You ever played footie like?!! As Alan Brazil says, you really are a person at times ha.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Oct 2014 20:07:58
So if osman recieves the ball, everyone says man on, he turns round and loses it, that's baines' fault that osman lost it? Oh well that's good, next time lukaku misses a chance, blame david cameron, next time amir kahn gets beat, blame tiger woods, incredible

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2014 11:49:34
I can only guess that 4 Liverpool fans voted in your poll yesterday to say they don't think Martinez is the right man for Everton.
Personally I think he's the best man by a million country miles and next season you will finish top 4 and be fighting off Barca Real and the likes trying to take him off you.
I can't believe any Everton fans aren't happy to have him so soon into his time with ypu

They r just a small percentage that know nothing about football :)

Great win yesterday. To be fair it could have been 5 or 6 such was Everton's dominance in the second half. The return of Coleman and Barkley plus McCarthy of course gave the team confidence against what I thought was going to be a better Villa side. Massive game against Lille on Thursday night followed by what should be a win against Burnley next Sunday. For all the doom and gloom mongerers of the last few weeks "We are back". So get behind the team as we showed yesterday with a full house. COYB.

Well played last night boys. I thought that was our best performance of the season by far. Was it cause we had Barkley back? Coleman was huge. Alcaraz was brilliant. However my only 2 downsides were ( as much as I love him) Osman. He is brilliant when in loads of space but he is way too slow and I think the game is getting away from him. Eg Hutton burned him off and had that curler that nearly went in. Howard even though we kept a clean sheet is still way too indecisive when he should come out or stay at home. Eg when benteke hit the cross bar( even though it was a free kick to alcaraz). He should have come over the top and either caught it or punch it away. He was rooted to the goal line. Anyway no complaints no injuries, however one game doesn't make a season so next week we need to do it again against Burnley.

A message to the minority of doubters,
NORMAL SERVICE HAS BEEN RESUMED

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Oct 2014 10:41:54
We thought that after the west brom game, service will resume if we string a few wins together

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2014 21:02:39
Except we played awful against Brom and got a lucky win but we dominated Villa and now Barkley is back we seem more balanced and our attack is going to be so much better with him and Coleman back. So stop being so negative swan, you are normally the one having a go at people for making stupid comments about the team; over the past few weeks you have been the one making stupid comments and being ridiculous. Get behind Martinez and the team, we will do well this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2014 22:27:39
Again, I will believe it when we string a few wins together, anything but a win and this all goes out the window

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2014 00:12:35
lots of praise for ross today, he is class but what about coleman, pesronally I think we have missed him more than ross, nasy has done a sterling job in ross' absence but hibbo as good a defender he is, he is not as good as coleman, the lad has came on leaps and bounds last 2 seasons and for me 1 of the most important players we have, we have no balance when he out.
