AVFCforever1991 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Getafe 2-5 Barca Thanks for the free money Barca :-) Were you even a little worried at 2-0 ? I was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 We are not competition with Everton this season....we are with Swansea so this is a good result. Just looking at their next four fixtures...Chelsea away.....us away....Man. City home....Man. united away. Surely surely as long as we don't lose to them we'll be above them after those games?! Even Lambert can manage that one surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Everton two points off top... And to think we were competing with them (and Spuds) not so long ago. Me sad now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I am waiting for the Everton wheels to fal off, it will happen sometime. 6th is a realistic target for them. As for Barkley yes he has played well for about 10 games, but that doens't mean he is the new Gascoigne. Jack Rodwell anyone? Oh well its good for Everton as they can sell him for 35 millon to Manure in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew what the fuss was about Rodwell. Barkley yes but I don[t think people should get carried away just yet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It's interesting how Everton are far better without Moyes. Maybe he was holding them back for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Barklay and rodwell are completely different type of players though, and even if you wanted to compare them, barklay has looked a whole lot better than rodwell ever has Rodwell only moved to man city because they wanted to boost there home grown player quota.

VillaChris Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Moyes teams always lacked a top class striker. Lukaku isn't the finished product yet but he's a wee bit better than Jermain Beckford or Anichebe leading the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yes Martinez was fortunate to secure the loan signings he did right before the deadline. I think he's a very good tactician though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Easy to forget they started with three underwhelming draws away to Norwich and Cardiff and home to West Brom. Lambert would've been hammered for a start like that (seeing as we have actually beaten two of those teams). What turned it around was Everton selling Fellani (think his style hindered what Martinez wanted), replacing him with Barry + McCarthy so excellent midfield balance and getting Lukakau last minute otherwise it would've bene Kone or Jelavic upfront. That and he was left with a fantastic defensive set up. Jagielka and Distin is a very underrated combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 A lot of that was typical VT logic though. Dave Whelan talks bollocks, some forumites will hold a lifelong grudge against him, his children, his children's children, his pets, his neighbours and his staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted December 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2013 I've been impressed with Barkley every time I've seen him, good control, passing, and surprisingly strong on the ball too. Think he will go far, and probably turn out better than Wilshere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I never saw the hype with Rodwell at all, decent player but never looked anything really special to and never seemed to take a game by the scruff of the neck. Barkley looks likes he's got far more in his locker to me and out of all the young English players, is the one I'm most excited by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 22, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 22, 2013 Rodwell was all about potential. But you never know how someone will progress or how high their ceiling is. We'll never know now with him rotting in Citeh's reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
