Think Everton should put cheeky little bids in for Terry and Cahill. They could learn a lot about defending from watching Stones and Jags in training :)

29 Aug 2015 20:03:47
Right can we please move on love love love the new Stones song, and the lad is still doing the business. It's now time to stop all the moaning and get behind the team nd give them everything we have. COME ON!

29 Aug 2015 20:13:08
Agree mate I for one am starting to get some positivity back.

29 Aug 2015 21:33:06
For the love of God did we threaten a goal in 90 minutes?
Mid tabe positivity!

30 Aug 2015 10:19:25
Err yes. Your cup doesn't even get half empty does it mush.

29 Aug 2015 19:57:07
Rm, hopefully one more in?

29 Aug 2015 19:46:04
Tim passed it yeh right, GuernseyBlue

Howard-8-Only thing that saved us today.

Coleman-6-Pretty useless today, does he know how to slide tackle someone? Amount of times he just backs off and let's the winger in to the box.

Stones-7-Pretty solid, had Kane quiet bar that one massive mess up from him and Jags. Why were Tottenham fans booing him? Because they are strange strange people.

Jagielka-7-Same as Stones, no idea what on earth he was doing for Kane's chance.

Oviedo-7-Did his job, seen him outpace Jordan Ibe, Antonio Valencia and Oxladw Chamberlain yet struggled to keep up with Ryan Mason. Still did well though.

McCarthy-6.5-Meh.

Barry-4-I loved him 2 seasons ago, was brilliant, now? He just gives it away, gets outmuscled and outpaced by everyone, get Besic in there.

Kone-7-Held it up well, good first touch and kept the ball when needed, unlucky with his header, did everything Lukaku SHOULD of been doing.

Barkley-5-Awful set pieces, how hard can it be to kick a ball in to the box, never beat the first man. Don't even get me started on his shots, has no left foot, scored a good goal against Norwich but bar that his shots with it are beyond awful. Gave it away too much and was all round terrible.

Cleverley-6.5-Unlucky with his shot and actually offered something, hope his injury is not serious. Done well.

Lukaku-5.5-Yeah, don't know why we took him off but he was pretty bad.

Mirallas-6-Hi Kev.

Naismith-6-Riled them up, that's about it.

Deulofeu-6-Should if started.

Wow, like, wow, god was that bad, how did we not lose? Even Moyes would say that was too negative. No shape, the formation looked like a 4-6-0. Kone, Barkley, Lukaku and Cleverley all on the wing. Played for a point and got it so I suppose I shouldn't complain, we were awful still, hope Cleverley recovers soon, just please get Barry out the team.

29 Aug 2015 20:11:54
Barkley just looks class mate ffs get off his back!

29 Aug 2015 20:33:51
Agree with those ratings, Swan. Especially McCarthy. You summed him up exactly as I would. He's been out of sorts for all the games so far I think. Speaking of which, A few weeks ago I Drank some crazy Turkish spirit on holiday, neat, when it was supposed to be mixed with water. then woke up to find that Howard, Cleverly and Kone are now our best players. Tell me, is this Narnia?

29 Aug 2015 21:33:09
Woburnblue-He was far from 'class' today mate, he was terrible, I am not 'on his back', I am saying he was awful today which he was.

29 Aug 2015 22:12:29
Surely he must see barrys time is up?

For me strongest team

Howard
Coleman stones jagielka oviedo
Besic mccarthy
Mirallas barkley deulofeu
Lukaku

30 Aug 2015 00:46:35
Oviedo 7 don't have a laugh gave the ball away numerous times coming inside and couldn't keep with the play defensively guess he's one you favour unlike Ross

30 Aug 2015 06:30:21
mikedeblue-Barry, Coleman, McCarthy and Lukaku are some of my favourite players. Did Walker or Dembele go past him? Not that I can remember. I am not biased towards players mate, everyone knows I cannot stand Tim Howard and look at that rating. Ross either scores a wonder goal or hits it out the stadium, on his left foot 90% of the time it lands in my back yard. If you don't like the ratings then fair enough but to accuse me of being biased on a player who is one of my 'favs' when my other 'favs' were terrible and my 'non favs' like Howard and Cleverley did well makes no sense mate.

30 Aug 2015 07:47:44
love Oviedo but he's awful take your blue glasses off its embarrasing

30 Aug 2015 09:44:42
How is it embarrassing? My points have clearly gone over your head and you have clearly ignored what I said. Instead of telling me how I am biased you say exactly the sane as your original reply just with a bit more oomph. If I had blue tinted glasses on everyone would be praised. No, I rate players based on their performance from the match in question, not based on how they are my 'favs'. You think Oviedo was awful against Spurs for some strange reason, no mention of Coleman then? Oviedo definitely had a better game than him, is Coleman awful now too?. Unless you are going to construct a reasonable reply as to why Oviedo is now awful without just spouting nonsense. This debate is over. Thank. God. My behaviour has improved on this site, the ratings are my opinion, you disagree and that's fine but you then go on to call me biased with no basis for it. Maybe on another topic things will be better.

30 Aug 2015 09:52:35
Right, mike, before things go any further, let's just leave it, agree to disagree. Closed.

29 Aug 2015 18:27:35
Can someone please please please please tell me what Barry has over this club. Barry is so slow I cannot understand why he starts every game. Mirallas and Gerry on the bench is a joke.

29 Aug 2015 19:23:40
It doesn't matter what happens Barry is here forever

29 Aug 2015 20:43:57
The weekly horror of FrankenBarry.

29 Aug 2015 17:20:47
Stones must be worth 75 million now to mourinho

{Ed025's Note - but would john want to sign for a team in the relegation dog fighy dazza?.. :)

29 Aug 2015 15:48:20
This striker from South America, is going into the U21 setup, Yea Ed? I seen somewhere that he has good English and is going straight into first team but that was only once, every other report said he was one for the future and is joining the U21's. I have only one concern about that, he is 22! Surely a bit old to be one for the future. Shor there is younger players than that in the first team. I'm not knocking the lad. I can't because I never seen him play. I hope he becomes the next Suarez. Maybe I'm mistaken or am missing something.

29 Aug 2015 13:19:41
I hope stones scores with a header to win the game; he will see us fans going barmy lad.

29 Aug 2015 14:27:30
So do I mate and I hope our fans support him today and don't give him any abuse.

29 Aug 2015 11:23:55
It has truly been a transfer window to forget for me. Nothing to do with purchases but more the rumours and utter rubbish that has been spouted by the journos. Add to that the Stones saga and idiot fans with banners.

Its amazing to think we have been told by reporters that Lukaku is going to Man utd, Mirrallas is off to Turkey, Coleman is off to a mulitude of clubs, Stones to Chelsea and McCarthy is going to united. Amazingly none have gone.

As for these protests. I pay a lot of money to go and watch Everton, to support them and hopefully celebrate a goal and a win. The opposition fans try and put our players off and support their own. Our protesters help them and pile even more pressure on the players. Just luck at the Southampton game all the talk after the match is about these knobheads looking for 5 minutes of fame instead of the brilliant performance on the pitch.

None of this today please. Let's have football do the talking for a change at Everton.

Did I really put luck instead of look? What a whollop.

29 Aug 2015 09:45:46
Apparently we now have 24 players under the age of 22 in our first team squad? Can anyone name them?

29 Aug 2015 12:05:25
Stones barkley besic is 22 I think rodriguez galloway browning. The ones comming through such as ledson grant maybe stanek

29 Aug 2015 09:29:31
OK everyone, for a bit of fun, no prize unless the eds wish to provide something. Now Seamus has become the target of Slysports Talksh*** and the rest of the rag tops how about a sweepstake for who will be next. My guess is Rom to Manure. Anybody putting McGready will get an immediate visit from the Men in White Coats

{Ed025's Note - i will go for ross..

29 Aug 2015 10:18:37
ssn to be renamed Sky fiction channel! there's more truths on SciFy!

29 Aug 2015 12:00:43
Its not Sky fiction its more . As the Eds keep saying Sky have their own betting site and so fabricate stories to increase the amount of bets. They are good at it as they're making billions from it. If only we all hadv'e trusted the board we could've put the mortgage on Stones staying haha

29 Aug 2015 07:17:17
Well in Quinny on TS this morning, finally a presenter who is on our side over Stonesy, his sidekick the wonan spoke usual garbage, you might be a Koppite but top man Quinny

29 Aug 2015 00:58:43
Think we should really go at Tottenham today, Mirallas and Deulofeu out wide, Barkley behind Lukaku, McCarthy and Cleverley in the middle. Barry Left Back. We should go at them from start to finish.

29 Aug 2015 07:30:06
Where have you been Swan!If you watched the first 4 games Barkley has played as we all know he can precisely because he has not played Barkley that far forward. He is much better coming from behind the ball. Just an observation.

29 Aug 2015 08:23:20
Completely agree Swan with that line up, exactly what I've been saying. We can hurt Spurs if we get at them, high tempo, make them work. I love beating Spurs, so many cocky Spurs fans where I live. COYB

29 Aug 2015 08:26:33
Barkley on the middle along side cleverly or mcarthy and Mirallas, Kone and del behind lukaku
