Baines fell behind Oviedo at times.

Coleman good....stones booed by park end many times.

We have done this before, the ‘man of the match thread’ Ross was in top 3 sumert like 2/3 or all games....absolute myth he was bad for us.

Never said he was bad for us, liked Barkley, one of my favourite Everton players at the time. But there were at least three or four players more important than or just as important to the team, as Barkley. The two fullbacks at that time were the best in the prem. Stones was a fine centre half, who being young made mistakes, but was wrongly booed because he wanted to leave.

Spine of Stones, Barkley, and Lukaku was something alright - Stones being the real quality there, the total opposite of Ross in mental strength.

Goalkeeper was a huge part of Martinez's freefall into the cellar I reckon - a good manager would have clocked Howard was past it from day one and been ruthless about replacing him. He turned wins into draws and draws into losses that second season, only has to happen a few times and everything starts to crumble.
 

He was an absolute rat and sold us out but I can't hate him, I'd take him back instantly. His goal against City for us is one of my favorites ever.
 
Here are Sarri’s substitutions since Christmas -

Man Utd: Barkley for Kovacic 71
Man City: Kovacic for Barkley 58
Spurs: Barkley for Kovacic 81
Woolwich: Kovacic for Barkley 63
Newcastle: Kovacic for Barkley 63
Spurs: Barkley for Kovacic 75
Palace: Barkley for Kovacic 88
Watford: Kovacic for Barkley 80.
