• Soucek is in the bag? Ffs I'm faster than him and I'm 57, he\'s an absolutely bang average midfielder, if this is the level of signings we are going to make than I literally couldn\'t care less anymore, anyway congratulations to Villa, a sleeping giant wakes up while we sleep on...
  Mick O\\\'Malley in Europa League Final
• Si I think you are confusing my posts with others. My apologies if that I am sneering is the impression I am giving, as that is not the intention My OP is that we do not have a good enough squad and it is not as simple as blaming the manager which for me is an easy out. Yes I think Moyes is limited, tactically, and agree fully that he doesn’t use his subs and that has contributed to our poor performance in last few game when we had the opportunity to achieve something out of the season. Nowhere did I infer.that the players were in holidays or quote statistics on subs used. There are many sticks to beat Moyes with ef tactically and use or not of subs but those who keep referring to the Wolves game for me is an easy out. John Not getting into petty posts. Let’s leave it at that....
  Neil Cremin in Cut the soundbites: It's time Kinnear and TFG show they mean business at Everton
• Garner was poor in his last game with the German in the stands. He has been pretty poor for the last half-dozen games and the German will have reports on each one of them.rnrnGarner might make the long-list but I don\'t believe that he will be in the short-list. He would be a bit part if he managed to make it. rnrnKDH? No chance. Along with Garner and Ndiaye he has not done well in what, to be fair, has been an awful run of games for us more generally. rnrnHow many players will we have at the World Cup: Pickford, Ndiaye, Gana, Patterson? That\'s it isn\'t it? Four. rnrnThat\'s pretty fecking poor....

• I find that hard to believe JC (28), but we simply don\'t know if there was any interest in him. He would be bought by someone else if he was put up for sale this summer.rnrnRight-back. The first thing to say is the utter failure of TFG to get us a proper right-back in the last two windows.rnrnThat has caused us irreparable harm on the pitch this season. We have had to move players out of position as a result and it has harmed us.rnrnAs Tony A says, O\'Brien at right-back has been one of the reasons why we have not improved at all this season. He looks lost once he crossed the half-way line and the wide fella ahead of him needs something better. Dreaming of Pinnear/Baines. O\'Brien has had some fecking howlers this season. But it will be #5 and #6 starting on Sunday.rnrnWe looked better and more balanced in the three games that Patterson started. We didn\'t lose any of them. ...
