Ross Barkley

[sexualchocolate]

Dave, you know as well as I do, that we simply just do not turn up for derbies at Anfield.

this romance about Barkley running them ragged is a touch optimistic at best. I'd love it if it happened but, well....

*sigh

we've turned up but have been held back on a leash for the last 11 years - even if we go down in this one at least it'll be fighting

Exactly mate. Everton losing is made bearable when go down swinging.

Plus even without Barkley, if we go to Anfield with the right attitude I'm confident we can win.

Im just praying to God that we play like we did at the Emirates. If we do that then those red b*stards wont even touch the ball!

No matter how good Suarez is he cant do anything if he hasnt got the ball

Thats what I thought. Didn't jags and Baines both play with broken toes after an injection before?

Yes. Martinez was relaxed about injections in that situation. It's a 'slight fracture' of a toe. If that's the little toe it can easily be treated for a big game with a jab and packing.

I think this has been way exaggerated for a reason...fending off predators in January.

And I seem to recall Peter Reid finding out he'd been playing the last 4 months of the 85/6 season with a fractured leg!

I broke a toe and just thought it was a bad stubbing, played on it for a month. Hurt like a bugger when I caught it wrong though and I'm worth slightly less than Barkley, slightly.

What.........

 

[Jags..class]

so he out for 6 weeks, bad news for Everton. Baines and now Barkley with Broken Toes, annoying.

 

[Lukaku]

You're going to expect injuries like this with today's wafer thin boots

 

[Ron Burgundy]

The RS will be breathing a HUGE sigh on relief. He torn them a new one at Goodison.

 

[canuckblue]

I'd just as soon he missed the derby, given Mr. Ed's propensity for bringing his hoof down on the legs of opposing players.

The CTR360's Ross is playing in, aren't really that thin though, they're of a synthetic leather, which protects as well as old school leather boots.

 

[Big Doug]

hopefully he might just make it back, he's been out a week and as baines was out for just over 4 but looked worse hopefully by the derby in 2 1/2 weeks he might just make it back

 

[TheFinnFan]

He'll be back for the derby.

 

[evilwebby]

He's going to miss the derby. Better to have him out of that and fit for the last 1/3 of the season rather than rush him back too soon IMO. A rest - albeit an enforced one - should be expected for any player playing their first full season of PL football.

It's a blow, but we have options and should be able to put out a strong midfield.
