• Ajay (35): 'Stones, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Kilman, Tarkowski - is a decent centre-back group'. Ajay you left out or best performing centre-back so far this season....
  Paul Griffiths in Branthwaite out for 2 months as Evertonians fear the worst
• Mark Steers (36): 'I can't think of one game we totally dominated -- at a push, Burnley at home'. You repeatedly keep telling us that you go every game home and away and now 'I've not missed a game all season'. The fact that you keep repeating this sows the seeds of doubt. If this was me, I would never mention it, maybe once (think noble Rob Halligan). For example, you were clearly not there, for example for Forest (H, A) and Chelsea (A)....

They identify a potential trend/trajectory for players in general but they do not focus sharply on individual narratives and strengths.It ultimately comes down to the individual and their strengths and attributes (or lack of) and their age and ability to develop and grow.

• Kieran 46, yours would have been preferable. If you must know, it was VVD doing a douchey Drogba dance to the flag aftet getting the gift in the six-yard box. And further on TW transfer activity, get Robert Tressell resigned. Find the money, pay the fees, get all three of those signed for next season. Hell, you can keep Moyes if you do that.Alright, let me think about that last bit again. ...
