Ross Barkley

4 -4 - ffin 2 with Benson & Hedges to come off the bench,

Kev can play the roll

This is a nightmare for us. There's literally no one at the club capable of filling in for him.

Get the chequebook out or we're dead in the water here before Christmas.

Behave.

Solid, but wildly uncreative.

McCarthys got a drive or two in him, was the driving force of wigan when he had the protection of 5 behind him with a bit of licence. Obviously lacks the skill and guile but we're away and I reckon the front 3 would pick them off.

Really struggling with my new season optimism here. Sigh.

 

[Groucho]

Relax. Depth.

Besic will cover.

 

[Brennan]

Since when is Besic an attacking midfielder though ?

 

[tommye]

lost 20 rep points for believing twitter, great that. Some bells on here.

 

[sfaus]

Commence operation Goodison meltdown

 

[Muzumbu]

kill me now, season fkn over. Typical fkn everton, oh why don't I just support Man City? Would be much easier.

 

[davek]

Behave.

Why? 8 weeks out. Not enough time to warrant getting in a player for a position we should have been addressing anyway?

This just makes it even more logical...but yeah, behave, just watch the season slide down the toilet.

Hahaha you think our season is going down the swanny because Ross will miss 5 games and 2 internationals? nice one mate

You're crying about rep points. Just think about that for a second mate.

 

[allen]

Ah well, stuff like this happens to every team. Shame it's so early in the season, but at least Ross is likely to be fresher later into the season.

Swings and roundabouts and see-saws and that.

 

[eurosrees]

Has this been confirmed as true by anyone? Nothing on SSN so far

I was coming more from the angle of Everton spending more then they recieve

 

[Gotagotmug]

Oh ffs, just ffs. Obviously we're still going to spank everyone we play against, but it would have been better to watch Ross pulling some strings and scoring the sort of boss goals he does.

I think people are putting him there because he can pass the ball.

And no other reason.
