Top 3 here we come, then all the glory hunting weapons can jog on.

We're not terrible, we're just disappointing. Saha has perfected the art of attacking the ball at the highest point in it's bounce so it goes over his head, and Arteta looks as though he's on the mogadon.

 

[Blue 1]

Crushingly predictable.

Why is Saha still starting ahead of Yakubu, who actually looked like he was starting to show some form?

Has Arteta even had a kick of the ball?

At least Baines is taking the corners!

Yeah, the corners have been better, but the downside is that Arteta really seems to be suffering from lack of confidence - he doesn't want to take responsibility for dictating the play or for set pieces.

Do you have one of those flowers mate that squirt water?

Thing with Arteta and Heitinga is more often or not when i see them Heitinga is about 5 yards more advanced than Arteta.

Arteta sitting deepest but not picking the ball up to start attacks, Heitinga more advanced but barely joins in attacks.

Just doesn't seem right, Johnny should sit in front of the defence as a proper dm, and Arteta can roam around in the middle of the pitch.

Agree with that, there's absolutely no balance between the two.

Why? I'd have to say it's because Heitinga isn't a centre midfielder and I suspect he doesn't want to play there. I'm convinced he's on a wind up.

I'd have Bily or Rodwell in for Heitinga. Even Gueye on for Heitinga and push Pienaar central. Anything to get Heitinga out of centre mid.

I'd also have Saha off - he should be behind Yakubu and Beckford in the pecking order.

Absolutely, before I went away Yak was playing superb.

Baffling.

The same with Beckford, he gets himself a great goal and when your expecting him to carry that confidence on... *slap* back down to earth.

If scoring 1 goal in 50 games is superb, then yeah, hes been fcking amazing.

Sorry mate.

Im sure Distin told Arteta to "**** off" and took a free kick in that half.

Well the last games he played I thought he was playing really well. Come back when were all in the Ale House mate.

Its what you get at Everton for scoring good goals....happened to Bilya.
