Trio to undergo scans on Monday

Let's hope that Dom has recovered before Boxing Day.

You could tell he was struggling from the first minute and here's me shouting at the screen and writing on the Live Forum that he's lazy.

I take it back; he's silly for not sitting out and resting it. My apologies, big man.

I know he's settling in and he's done fairly well but I want Onana to show more attacking intent with the ball.

Dom has looked pretty sharp but I'd expect it to take a while longer before being a nailed-on starter.

Gana started well but had a sloppy game against Leicester.

A large part of me hopes they all miss the World Cup and our tour down under so they can come back fully fit for what is going to be a tough "r#!@@%^*?", sorry scrub that, no "r" talk yet. Let's say a tough task to win some silverware.

On the upside, our tour of Australia may unearth a gem of a player. A Cahill Mk 2. Would our scouts and recruitment team know one if they tripped over one? – is another issue.

I feel for Gueye, he's a shadow of the player who left, it's sad to see such a player decline.

Our defence is looking better but there's an awful lot of work to be done with our midfield and toothless attack.

Lampard needs to start learning about when to use his subs and changing the game before it slips away from him.

Persisting with a 3-man midfield is reckless.

Injured for basically the last 18 months, not exactly clinical when he's in scoring positions, but we sit here and think he's the second coming of Cristiano Ronaldo.

We need a better striker that we can rely on, we needed it in the summer but it wasn't done.

We actually need two, but in January it probably won't happen so that means we'll struggle to score goals most of the season and likely have a repeat end to the season that we did last.

Only at Everton do 3-year projects never move on from Day One.

It's about the here and now and getting the best out of the crap players you're left with.
