..if it is a hamstring tear I don't mind if we put him away until next season. I've heard a new club doctor is being appointed so hopefully that improves our injury and recovery record.

...I'd be amazed and disappointed if Barry doesn't start but it is a big blow if Schneiderlin is out.

...sounds like it might be curse of the hamstring.

...or today.

...late fitness test apparently. If there's any doubt he will surely play Barry again after his magnificent display at OT.

..I think it goes further back. I posted the article you refer to, the incident when RK refused to take the call was some weeks ago. I remember Roy Keane publicly lambasting Everton quite a while ago so the tensions have been there. Let's not forget that we lost Gibson to a very long-term injury...

...which is almost the end of the season. Best forget about him and get on with it.

..seems more than a tweak. Minimal 3 weeks but more likely mid April.

...if the lads injured we just need to get on with it. Not ideal but that's the way of things.

...he'll do.

...I've actually been saying that to Dave for a while. He's clearly the appointed site Devil's Advocate..

..you know I've wondered if he might have more to his game. A few seasons ago he ran onto a ball at pace and moved it first time with the outside of his foot into Lukaku who scored. It demonstrated another dimension but it's something you rarely see so I doubt that's part of his game and I don't...

..although Davies already looks like he's got more to his game. He really looks to utilise space behind his opponent and that little one-two he played to burst in the box was encouraging. Be interesting to see how Davies develops.

...I agree about McCarthy's injury record being a potential problem. He's playing flat out because he has to, it will be a test for those hamstrings. McCarthy is in demand because he is very effective when fit but I don't for one minute think he's got the dimension to his game that Schneiderlin...

...yep, @maccavennie suggested the same earlier. Definitely worth a go. I don't think the manager is afraid of making such a change. I suppose his other option is to play Schneiderlin instead of Holgate (as in the 2nd half last night) but I'd like to see Davies in that advanced position. It'd be...

...as I saw it yesterday he sat in and covered as we pushed for a winner. Nothing for the cameras, no wow factor but important that he did it. I'm sure he will start a game soon.

...I thought he was on a hiding to nothing coming on yesterday at 2-0. Brave substitution, really, given there was still time enough for City if they pulled a quick goal back. I'm happy with diplomatic 'looked rusty' descriptor.

...a fisherman replaced by a footballer.

....bit of a culture shock for that no2 shirt after years of Tony Hibbert!!!

...he's just pocketed £2.2m as his part of the feee, not a bad old life being a top footballer.
