Amnesiac is underrated imo. Also, yeah, hope we smash them. Won't though, Gerrard pen/FK guaranteed

I'm not as worried about Rom's first touch as some on here - it's a difficult skill to master when you're that big, and even this season there have been a few games where his touch and link up play has been excellent, so we know he has the ability in him somewhere. For me, the major issue is...

I think he needs to learn from our other DMs how to always be available to collect the ball from the centre backs. Too often there were acres of space ahead of the defence against spurs and it just allowed them to press us. Normally Barry is excellent at that but his lack of fitness left him...

Baines just pulled out of England squad after picking up an injury.

Can't believe people are complaining about the standard of our attacking play. Until Mirallas got injured it was exceptional, even without Barkley and Coleman at times (and Lukaku was a major part of that even if parts of his game weren't up to scratch). Until the derby we were scoring at least...

I think we should definitely try Garbutt or Oviedo at RB. It's a real pet annoyance of mine that in this country it's considered essential that fullbacks stick to one side. On the continent it's far more natural for a LB to play at RB or vice versa than for a fullback to also play CB, as is...

Hopefully later in his career when his fitness has dropped and he's perhaps let himself go a little, he'll move back into a deep-lying playmaker role, setting the tempo of the game from in front of the defence. A fat controller, if you will.

Lukaku is delighting me so far this season. His touch, awareness and all round creative play seems to improved significantly since last season. Not arsed if he doesn't score for a few more games if he keeps his form up, it's when he disappears from games and seems to be in a 90-minute strop...

I steadfastly refused to learn from my mistakes and made my transfer at the start of the week, meaning I'm now stuck with Costa for this weekend.

30m euros = £23.7m. Pretty much his par value in my view

Don't know if it's already been mentioned, but last night Tim got the highest number of saves of any goalkeeper in a world cup game ever

That's a good record, obviously, but its not as impressive as 32 in two seasons (don't know how many starts). And it also begs the question why did he only get 11 starts in two years? as opposed to Lukaku who was 1st choice for us when fit at a similar age. Not to mention that Rom has proved he...

When Alan Carvalho was 18-20 he played for Fluminese and scored 17 goals in 52 appearances. I'm constantly amazed by how many people overlook Rom's age here: over 15 goals in two seasons running (first primarily as a sub) is remarkable. Last season Rom had the highest combined goals and assists...

Fair enough. My own view is that Neville shouldn't have been a decent centre mid, and he never looked like one in isolation, but somehow we always played our best football with him playing there. But back to the point - Porteous, really? Porteous? Give that man the armband.

Nah Neville was decent for a few seasons. An upgrade at RB on Hibbert and at CM on Simon Davies or whoever we had playing there at that point

Centre mids I've thought would be [Poor language removed] for us and have been anything from decent to great: Neville Gibson Naismith McCarthy Barry So, basically, I'm going to keep my mouth shut and wait to see him play, for fear of brutal vaulting in a year's time.

I think the OP is being harsh here for reasons that have already been said - Alcaraz is pretty decent for a 4th defender (and those saying Duffy - would you really trust a back line of him and Stones together? Better to only have the one rookie at a time for me), Kone is a proven PL striker and...

I thought Martinez would have us fighting relegation *hangs head in shame*

Everton 1 - 0 Liverpool, 04/05, Lee Carsley. Last minute tickets with my dad, sat in row ZZ or something in lower gwladys, could see about 10% of the pitch between the head of the bloke in front of me (I was only 16 like) and the bottom of the upper gwladys. Still awesome when Carsley's went in...
