What are Everton without Arteta?

Answers on a postcode.

You might accuse me of being overly pessimistic but when I saw Arteta was unavailable the ultra cynical Evertonian in me screamed cup-tied for europe and transfer window. After not heeding his advice and strengthening sufficiently during the summer and his subsequent pretty shocking performances recently I have to wonder out loud is he happy? Certainly getting knocked out of europe again will leave him a little restless.

For a lad who rarely seems to get injured *touches wood quickly* to see him unavailable for the return leg in the Ukraine would surely set alarm bells ringing.

Or maybe I'm just a pessimist.

Arteta has done nothing the last couple of weeks anyway.

Steve you are taking conspiracy theories a little too far mate, but i definitely would agree that ever since the Fernandez deal collapsed, in all the games we played since then Mikky hasn’t done a lot and maybe is a bit disinterested.....i hope to hell that we are still in relatively good shape in terms of cup and leage position, otherwise i fear he will be off.

What other team has ever relied so much on one player?

That would be us with Dunc during the not as sucessful Kendall years. You could argue Arsenal and Henry but lets face it they haven’t done too bad without him so far!

But after all the heartache from last night thought my attempt at peurile humour might work.
It hasn’t.
