  • Terry, I haven\'t said Obrien lacks pace. I said that there is no guarantee him & Keane would be error free.rnrnI actually think he had done pretty well at right back. He struggles with the ball going forward, but we don't appear to concede as many on his side - which is why Moyes has carried on id think.rnrnLet\'s see the side on Sunday, I wouldn\'t be surprised if Tarkowski and Obrien start centre back, and Coleman plays some part at right back if he has anything left.rn...

  • More windbaggary If me auntie had bollocks..... Branthwaite may be our best defender, but when the curtain comes down on this season he will have played a quarter of it. How the f*** can he be key when he hasnt been available for 75% of it. B He wasnt key to our victory at the cottage and he wasnt even on the pitch at St James's or the Emirates. Moyes is no different to any other manager. He has to play with the hand he has been dealt. Bleating and whining about the aces which were not available to him is pathetic. Claiming he is a genius when Branthwaite plays is just an insult to the intelligence of Evertonians who understand the game. He has dozens of options. Always has had. The only reason this conversation is happening is because he has systematically chosen the wrong one. Branthwaite cant play. it's not fair on Davey.....So lets all go home....

  • 100% correct Patric. Its not a witch hunt on Tarks or Keano its an observation that we see regularly that together they get done on the break for speed on the bigger pitch at HD. As individuals alongside pace the balance works....

  • 14# LesterrnrnNot using Keane as a whipping boy, but the facts are what they are. I think this idea he\'s been good this season is, to be honest, farcical. He\'s been okay. But he and Tarkowski leak chances and goals as a centre-back pairing.rnrnIt all comes to back Moyes\' stubbornness on the right-back, though (and the club\'s failure to buy one!). rnrnBut it could be Keane who drops out or Tarkowski, as neither of them have played well. When they play together, both of them are a problem, as we keep seeing....

  • Michael, I think it’s more enjoyable going back to discuss Everton FC, and my fault for going offstream!...
