SikhInTrinity Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Is he drunk? He doesn't drink haha. Maybe he should. Technically he isn't all that great and I've said it for a while, it may improve but that freestyle for a professional footballer is abysmal.

SikhInTrinity Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 After me ripping his technical ability, you so know he's going to score a screamer next Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Ross Barkley back in full training, could make the bench for our game. Everton have missed him massively so far, an English player well worth the hype imo given some of his performances in the second half of last season. That goal v City and he ran the show in the Man. United and Arsenal home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ross Barkley back in full training, could make the bench for our game. Everton have missed him massively so far, an English player well worth the hype imo given some of his performances in the second half of last season. That goal v City and he ran the show in the Man. United and Arsenal home games. What he said. Was it Richard on here a few weeks back who said he didn't think there was much in difference between our first 11 and Everton's? I'd like to give him the benefit of doubt and assume he was watching them in a europa league game when they were playing Hibbert, Astu, Gibson and all these guys. We saw today the massive gulf between a top 6 team and one like us. To me it isn't rocket science that once Everton had Barkley, McCarthy and Coleman back in their starting 11 they'd win games and move up the league as they are quality players. Everton will finish comfortably top 8 if they all stay fit. And one thing I would say on Richard's opinion, if he really does believe that and the end result remains Everton finishing a good 20 points clear each season, surely a tiny little bit of the blame must be pointed at Lambert in his mind?

LondonLax Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Another loss for them, this time at Hull. I think they have taken something like 4 points from 8 games and are below us in the table. After their form last season their fans must be even more frustrated than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 They wont be calling for the managers head, not yet. But they must be a bit shellshocked at how this season has gone for them so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The core of the team is too old. Howard, Jagielka, Distin, Barry are all well into their 30s. I don't think you can get away with that in the PL this days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Unbelievable what's happening there, I really thought they'd be in the top 6 at this point so I got that one wrong. To me their squad is of a similar level to Liverpool and Spurs so massive underachievement so far and they can't use the europa league as an excuse.

PaulC Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The squad has got old quickly. A lot of people wanted Barry back but he is so slow now.. He's nowhere near the player he was when he was with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Thought Barry was excellent last season acting as James McCarthy's minder but this year does look a year too far for him. Certainly shouldn't be an automatic starter anymore. Early on in the season they had a tonne of injuries but as far as I can see apart from Howard and Jagielka all their other key players are fit that excuse is out aswell.

At least they have been decent this side of a general election. We have had to deal with 4 and a half years of shitty football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The core of the team is too old. Howard, Jagielka, Distin, Barry are all well into their 30s. This. Distin is 37 FFS. Also playing in the EL is far too many games when you have a small squad and lots of old players. Spending £28m on a striker sounds great but when you already had that striker last season your are spending £28m just to stand still. It's no surprise they are struggling this season really. A nice reality check for Everton and their Champions League ambitions. They are a long way off the top four and probably always will be as they don't have the money to compete.
