• Martin # 127 - I found that video quite fascinating. The things that struck me most were:- That Liverpool paid £125M for Isaak while Everton paid £32M for Barry. Isaak has scored 3 goals and Barry 2. Excuse for Isaak not getting the same kind of service as he got at Newcastle. That Chelsea have spent hundreds of millions on players and yet haven’t finished better than 4th and gone through 4 managers in the process. Excuse - the players didn’t know how to play as a team. What I take from that is that if Moyes could have the backing of the data but have the last say on player character and fit he could finally get through his glass ceiling. As for the game - I think Brentford are a good outfit and will give us a good game. One way or another I can’t see either team getting a clean sheet. I think we might just edge it. ...

• Our play still looks patchy to me, with none of a group of fringe players really looking like they are destined to secure a starting spot long term, and yet we are certainly hard to beat and eking out valuable victories despite our woeful strikers.No easy games, however, and Brentford (as pointed out by John) are finding ways to exceed many people's expectations.I'm confident we have a couple more players who can produce the required moments of magic, so I'm happy to go along with John's prediction of 1-0 for us.

  Si Cooper in Everton vs Brentford: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch
• Neil (26),Fair enough but I remember Sharp in a programme or football article comparing himself to Steve McMahon saying he wasn't tough like him on or off the field when it came to an aggressive nature. As we get older, I think we can adapt and change our ways. Although Barry does seem to have a passive and reserved nature, maybe he's just well-mannered....

• He's obviously very highly regarded. Klop was sniffing around at one point, but cos of the injuries, they went elsewhere...Which is probably why we got him for a knock-down price. If we can keep him fit is the question. ...

• Patric (7),Thanks for your reply. It looks like he's our player then, no matter if he's good, bad or indifferent. What a strange way to buy a player whose injury record doesn't inspire confidence.During the next International break, if there is one, I suggest they send him to Lourdes!...

• It's got the making of a decent entertaining game (famous last words). Let's hope that Barry or Beto have their shooting boots on and we gain a win and stay challenging at the top end of the Premier League. ...
