Barkley and Drenthe scored for reserves tonight. Good sign ! Really looking forward to Drenthe getting match fit and playing on the left with Coleman on the right, i cant remember the last time we had pace on both wings ? {Ed025's Note - i know mate..it sounds promising..

Drenthe and fellow new boy Denis Stracqualursi both started for Everton and showed glimpses of what they are capable of but it was Frenchman Magaye Gueye who was the stand out performer as he continues his comeback from a broken toe. {Ed025's Note - do you know what..i think he deserves a chance in the first team, i would play him in the league cup, because unless he gets a chance....we will never know how good he is!..

Hi Ed, I didn't get to the reserves game but saw Drenthe's goal on SSN and also the handbags bit, but my question was how did Denis get on and was Vellios playing, and if not do you think he might get a start against Wigan {Ed025's Note - denis played up front on his own, and although willing, never really shone, mind you, who does when we play 4-5-1?...vellios never started and i dont expect him to start at the weekend, but he may figure in some capacity..

The blue unions next project should be to petition moyes to play 4-4-2 ffs

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - i would be at the front on that march..

Bez the blue, great shout ! Lets get on to it, massive banners 4-4-2 !!!!!! haha
You joking ed025, so the reserves even play 4-5-1 !!!!!!!!! {Ed025's Note - it seems its the coaching policy at the club...(sigh)..

I was pleased with the performance on saturday, but i still can't see us finishing
higher than 7th this season, but Stoke (FFS), and i believe Villa are threats to finish above us. We could finish anywhere from 7th to 12th. If were gonna win a cup we need a little bit of luck for once, ie, a run like what Portsmouth had in 2008

The only team I can see challening us for a top 7 spot is Stoke...they have spent fairly big but I still think it is ours. Villa won't come close they have lost some big players.

7th any other season would get us Europa League and I think we will finish 7th again and hopefully grab a Europa spot. Or just win the FA Cup and do it that way =)

Maiden

I think we will get 7th mate, my prediction is;
1.Man United
2.Man City
3.Chelsea
4.Arsenal
5.Liverpool
6.Tottenham
7. EVERTON
8. Stoke
9. Aston Villa
10. Fulham
11. West brom
12. Newcastle
13. Wolves
14. Bolton
15. Sunderland
16. QPR
17. Wigan
18. Blackburn
19. Norwich
20. Swansea

Move arsenal down 2 places and apart from the odd place near the bottom I'd agree

Pretty decent prediction that, agree with sunderland finishing low, steve bruce bought far too many players i mean 11 players is ridiculous ! Think liverpool may get 4th though although it pains me to say it haha {Ed025's Note - i fancy us for either 6th or 7th..there are not a lot of teams who are better than us!..

Ed 25, if you think we may get 6th who do you think it would be at the expenses of? Arsenal, Liverpool or Spurs? {Ed025's Note - spurs and arsenal are no better than us!..i think if we beat the so called lesser lights, we will pick up points off the big boys, and yes, i do believe 6th is possible..

I agree with you ed, arsenal and spurs have started poorly, there is no reason why we can't compete with them for the europa league places

Bez the blue

I honestly, genuinely reckon we have a better chance of winning something in the immediate future than Arsenal. {Ed025's Note - they look a shambles..to be honest......i reckon we will finish above them!, outside the top 4, we are as good as anyone..
