Also, my five cents on Rooney.
It RK thinks he still has the legs to play, and the head to go with it, then why not.
I was not around when he left for Man U, but If RK and Walsh think he has 2-3 years of quality, then who am I to judge?
Rooney may even know how to play a few balls forward and maybe a cross or two. That service is lacking currently and Rom must be pretty ticked off about it.

A quick ten thousand foot view of the game.
Two teams that did not want to be there
Chelsea not wanting to lose and save themselves for the FA Cup.
Everton, well I suppose that whether you win or lose, you stay in 7th place.
Without Coleman and Bolasie, there is no pressure on the right wing. On the left, Baines is not the Baines of five years ago. And with no natural left sided player, everyone pretty much runs up the middle. There they either run into a wall of players or get dispossessed.
Rom cannot do it all by himself, and Ross sometimes turns as fast as a WW1 dreadnaught.
Overall the first 50 plus minutes was two teams trying not to lose. I actually began to thing Everton was slowly warming up.
Then the leaks began, and in no set piece did we even come close to taking advantage.
1-nil, then the 2 and 3-nill were inevitable.
I think we will know who will be on the outs based on the next three games. Time to see if any other U23's are ready.
Hey folks, still a much better year than the preceding two, and a lot more hope for great things to come in the 17-18 season.

how can palace in 3 weeks beat arsenal, liverpool and Chelsea and yet we bottle it every time.

One team striving to hold off relegation, not afraid to go for the win. The other too cautious and comfortable.
Great things ahead though.

lot of players seem to already of started their holidays Sketleburg terrible definitely need a new keeper jags had a terrible game Barkley couldn't pass to his own men lukaku needed more help Valencia and kone shouldn't play for us again I would also sell mirallas he is superb on his day but they are too far and few between I thought again the kids did themselves proud apart from them the senior players did nothing.

Agree Bluey big changes at Goodison this summer I think mate, GuernseyBlue.
30 Apr 2017 17:31:10
Bit harsh on mirallas only got 10 mins or so!
30 Apr 2017 18:22:36
Barkley, the ball is not a raffle prize to be given away at every opertuneity, could we have a goalkeeper who befitts a top club, and if it's not asking too much, two c/ backs who do not trip over their zimmer frames, swear i saw them both in the pensions queue.

don't want hart or forster but would not mind jack butland.

Getsy1 not just going off today Mirallas on his day is a world beater unfortunately that's about once every 3 or 4 games shame as I like the guy but as a club we have to be ruthless I would sell or release Lennon, macarthy, mirallas, cleverly, kone, mcgeady, Sketleburg, lukaku and Barkley if they want out its a big big summer for us.
30 Apr 2017 19:39:25
Another big game, another not good enough, I agree with you Bluey79, I would let the lot go you mentioned and rebuild in the Summer.
30 Apr 2017 19:41:27
Wow Bluey mate that's some cull, but have agree if they want out so be it, we have been waiting a long time for Mr Moshiri and R K to get on board, this is the best thing that has happened to Everton for a long long time, let's all enjoy ride cheers GuernseyBlue.
30 Apr 2017 19:44:34
Agree with all those except for Ross and Rom, Bluey. Cleverly's already off to Watford, so that's a start.
30 Apr 2017 20:32:36
West Ham last week Chelsea today, we looked lazy in both games like Bluey79 says holiday mode. Or they know now that there off somewhere else.
30 Apr 2017 15:49:47
Steklenberg awful absolutely terrible. Koeman you must sign a world class keeper. Sunday league keepers on our books.
