• Raymond and Derek, all you have to do is watch Grealish move around the pitch for a few minutes to know that he doesn\'t like the middle. When he\'s looking to receive the ball, he naturally gravitates towards the touchline. Every time.rnrnI think instinctually he likes to get the ball at his feet with space and the ability to square up and face the defender so he can survey his options. At #10 you have to make instant decisions with the ball, and obviously that\'s not Jack\'s natural predilection....

• Jeff #38 - Yes, it was March 1980, I remember it well, FA Cup Quarter Final at a packed out Goodison and a great 2-1 win for us against a very strong and talented Ipswich Town side who had tanked us 0-4 at our place only a few weeks previous. John Gidman was excellent in Midfield that day. Big Bob the first, and Brian Kidd the second goal down the Street end, one of my favourite Everton goals as a kid. The great Kevin Beattie pulled back a very late goal for Ipswich, which made us sweat and pray for the final whistle. 46 years on, and we are still praying to hear the referee blow the final whistle! Ipswich had a terrific side back then and were a little bit unlucky not to win even more silverware....

• Ipswich under Bobby Robson in the late 70 ‘s and very early 80’s where a fantastic team, Cooper, Mills, Beattie, Viljoen, Murhen, Thysen, Gates, Mariner, Whymark, Brazil etc, cup winners in 78 and league runners up in 80 & 81 I think, they were a big scalp and battered us 0-4 at Goodison in the league just before we knocked them out the cup 2-1, Lee played Gidman in midfield, 1980 I think. Oh and Wark, Butcher and Russell Osman too....

• Raymond @ 26; Even if Moyes selected him there, Grealish has already stated that, if pushed, he \'Can\' play in the centre - but doesn\'t \'like\' it...and in the clip I watched, his whole facial/body language was saying - to much much like hard work, sod that for a game of soldiers....

• Jon I believe they won the league 12 months before we did in 63. Under the manager that won us the world cup in 66.Fast forward to early 80\'s one of the best footballing sides to grace the first division... Football didn\'t begin with the Premier League....
