Jeff@53 and 55. Thanks for the welcome. No similarly named siblings here but I was one of multiple Darrell’s on a basketball team in my younger years (with three different spellings). I do agree with your appreciation for Chris Richard’s’ hair. Thought Barry’s header would go in there and never come out. rnrnI was going to post complaining about Moyes’ substitution timing and “strategy “ but others here have already made the point well so I will wait until the close of the transfer window and then pile on.rnRegards....
Darrell Noga in Everton v Crystal Palace: Player Ratings

Of course is it Eric, but sometimes I believe it is also about depth in this modern game mate. We ran out of steam towards the end of last season but, if we’d had a little bit more depth in our squad then who knows? We probably had more depth than it looked like but I’m fed up banging that same old drum. It was a great little turn Mark, but I thought Barry, initially stayed on his feet mate. You could tell straight away that the Palace player wasn’t going to be able to continue and it instantly got me thinking that the game of football is so quick nowadays, that we definitely need to get a few more squad players in key positions!...

for a newly promoted team to pick up Jake Tim And Beto for £60m would be cracking business. Could be the difference between them staying up and going down. rnCan understand this, Jake must have thought when he said no more fullback that he\'d be given a go in the centre, and that just hasn\'t happened. Moyes just prefers Tarks (who never gets injured). He Just can\'t face another year on the bench, and I don\'t blame him. He could be one frustrated boy if the right offer doesn\'t present/and/or we can\'t source a replacement. I suspect this announcement is a favour to him, so he\'s clear that we did try and do right by him, so that he will knuckle down if it all goes pear shaped.l ...
Kevin Molloy in Might Moyes deserve some slack?

If the O’Brien rumour has any truth, I’d assume we have a new CB in mind. rnWe wouldn’t leave ourselves exposed with just Keane, Tarks and injury prone Branthwaite. rnMaybe O’Brien is tired of being 4th choice CB and wants more game time, in the middle. ...
Ian Wilkins in Might Moyes deserve some slack?

Ooh, the double-hash! Thanks for the help MK. ...

It would be monumentally, massively stupid to sell Jake at any price. Should be starting now and is definitely the future. And to leave us with three senior CBs, the best of whom is injury-prone, would be total insanity....
Mike Gaynes in Might Moyes deserve some slack?
