  • Dibling has started four games, been deservedly hooked at half time in two of them and the only time he has looked remotely interested was when he had a natural fullback playing alongside him. I’ve been saying for quite a while that the most isolated position in our team isn’t at centre forward, because when I watch us playing, it’s the right midfielder who looks the most isolated imo. It just goes to show how good of a footballer N’Diaye, has become, but for the benefit of the whole team, and the spectators who go to the game to be entertained, then I think it’s absolutely imperative that we sign a proper right back,. Surely the reasons couldn’t be anymore obvious?...

  • Neither fullback can attack. Mykolenko can’t cross the ball....

  • If we had attack minded fullbacks who overlap this Everton side would be transformed exponentially, and I have no doubt that we would be comfortably sitting in the European places come the end of the season. Antonne Robison and Juanlu Sanchez Anyone??...

  • It’s all academic about Patterson as Moyes has clearly decided he’s not good enough. I doubt that he will pick him again and he’ll be gone in the summer. He tried to get rid last summer....

  • O’Brien is a centre back playing out of position. Teams have found him out. He can’t play full back. Moyes believed he could, so we weren’t chasing a RB ( other than a free Tete) in the Summer. Patterson is a full back, who time after time after time, under several managers has proved he simply can’t do the defensive basics. Not going to change now. Coleman, great servant, should be on coaching staff. Surprise, surprise, we desperately need a new RB, not a makeweight, a good one, with O’Brien going back in the middle. Our left back is incredibly limited too. Out and out defense generally ok, ball distribution, going forwards forget it. Games like Forest, with very little possession but lots of graft, Moyes gets the best from a disjointed bunch. Games like Brentford, lots of possession, making the play, pushing forwards, our disjointed bunch is horribly exposed. ...

  • The argument of whether to play Michael Keane who didn't look fit yesterday or play Patterson who didn't play well at Forest and simply doesn't look like a PL RB goes to show that we have to buy a RB this window. The O'Brien RB experiment can't go on. We can get away with it playing away, but not at home when there is more attacking onus on us....
