• One of the main reasons we don’t put crosses into the box is because we have useless strikers who are not Alan Shearer and have a 1 in a 100 chance of scoring or even retaining the ball. It’s not just the fullbacks, it’s the midfield including Grealish and N’Diaye who are very reluctant to cross, or play a pass to Barry or Beto....

• I know we need two full backs Ian, we have for some years now.Every Everton fan knows that, but back to my original question It is what it is. The squad we have is what we will be using to try to get Europe.l this season. We won't get Europe with an open play home goal scoring record of barely over one open play goal per two games. Encourage, and more importantly give permission for the two full backs to get higher up the pitch, with their quality it's nothing intricate, work the overload and produce early, one or two touch crosses. We haven't got the ability to slide people in with defense cutting balls. Last one I saw was Garner at Forest some months ago...

• I see the Bobble is reporting that Branthwaite didn't go on the warm weather training trip, and he has suggested the club will monitor his minutes very carefully. Usually there are loads of pictures on X of Everton training but I haven't seen any from this warm weather training camp or where it was....

• I've said before this Patterson thing is a mystery to me, he might not be a world beater but he's seems a perfectly decent player. It's not been just Moyes though, the other managers we have had while he's been here have not rated him either! In Moyes case maybe he thinks O'Brien is better on corners against us, and corners for us with his extra height. Maybe he's poor at keeping himself fit or he's a bit of a boyo after dark, who knows!...
