• Conor # 35 - I am glad you mentioned Iraola’s press conference because it prompted me to look at it. I am glad I did. He talks common sense, the sound quality was great, but most of all because he mentioned their problem at set pieces. That is something we have the potential to exploit and gives me hope that we can get a result. ...

• Dave #4, I still rate Myko for his defensive work, and you have to admit his crosses don't suck as bad as they used to. But that's obviously a position requiring an upgrade for this team to improve. As for Robinson, his pace and attacking were supposed to be what everybody here wanted! If healthy he's the best LB in USA history, but that's a very low standard after decades of comic stylings from the likes of Eddie Lewis, DeMarcus Beasley, Jeff Agoos, Frankie Hejduk and Fabian Johnson. Bet you never heard of any of them. I wish I hadn't. ...

  Joe McMahon in Next Up: Bournemouth vs Everton
• I'm a reluctant no on Jedi (his nickname) because he has not recovered from knee surgery, and it doesn't look like he will be back anytime soon. The procedure was supposed to be a simple one, but it was for tendinopathy, not ligament damage, and that's unpredictable stuff. He's been out of the USA side for more than a year now, and two vastly inferior players have moved ahead of him for WC places. It was sheer idiocy selling him for pocket change in the first place, but it's too late to remedy that now. ...

• If I was the Everton manager, I definitely wouldn’t be having that much of a dilemma with how to use my midfield players. My very first team all those years ago, used to play with inside forwards, and because I always wanted to be a midfield player, I actually hated the title of my position, which I was told was inside left. We have got fullbacks who aren’t very good in the attacking area’s, we have got central defenders, that are scared or absolutely terrified of pace in behind. (Have a look at Newcastle’s third goal again, and see how pathetic we were set up defensively. This is what made Tim’s mistake become so fatal) so why doesn’t the manager just go and try something different, just like he did all those years ago, when he allegedly had a relegation standard squad, and got them to fourth? Play deep, but look to counter attack quickly, and bring a lot more flexibility into our forward play. For 90% of the game, let our fullbacks concentrate on defending, so if...
