That was the night it was shown that McCarthy had been carrying Barry all season. He got absolutely overrun in central midfield. Martinez thought we didn't need the three man midfield and we got dominated. Barry's performance ensured it was pretty much a one man midfield. in true Everton style though everyone blamed Barkley and Teflon Barry got off scot free.

Tbf due to Gibson's injury both Barry and McCarthy had been playing each and every game for the full 90 mins - they were both running on fumes at that point. Matic looked similarly exhausted for Chelsea at an equivalent stage.

We played Mirallas in the centre at the start then didn't we? with McGeady and Del on the wings?

That game was probably Deulofeu's poorest game, but if I think Howard's also made a howler which didn't help.

btw - It was that game that people think was were we where "found out".

Presuming we stay in a 4231, the obvious lineup (ignoring keeper and back 4) is

Lukaku
LW Mirallas -- 10 Cleverley -- RW Deulofeu
Barkley -- McCarthy
​
With Naismith, Pienaar, Osman, Besic and Barry all on the bench, the lineup actually looks vaguely ok. Problem is, so many of the players named here are currently injured.

Anyone that thinks Martinez will play Barkley CM alongside is mistaken. Done it, what, once last season (against QPR)?
 

It's pretty clear what will a happen, so why all the melty melting meltiness?

We'll sign Lennon and Evans close to deadline day when Spurs and Man Utd are willing to accept the lower priced offers we bid. And maybe Virgil van Dijk depending on Celtic's willingness to part.

We'll also try and get some loans to cover Striker and Attacking Midfield, with a view to buy next year.

The only sense I can see in these Sergi Roberto rumours is as a long term replacement for Barry.

In the meantime, the night is dark and full of terrors. Sleep well.

Pienaar sale/repurchase? They weren't great but don't think we got taken to the cleaners as such but each to his own.

Cleaners is perhaps strong but Levy certainly won both those battles.

Offloading Saha to them at the point in his career that we did evens the score slightly, even if it was just saving on the wages for the remainder of his contract.

We'll call it a draw then. Besides it will just make the Lennon deal more interesting. What do we think the over/under will be?

Over 6m and Levy wins?
