Barclay crocked

[Silver Sean]

Out for six weeks with a broken toe. Couldn't have come at a better time for us. Hopefully will have a negative impact on the bitters. Might not, but we can hope.

I don't think it'll have as much of a negative impact as we'd like. Shame really, we need Everton to drop points soon.

Dammit, I was hoping that it was Paddy Barclay.

The dynamic 20-year-old injured his toe in the FA Cup third round tie against Queens Park Rangers and missed last Saturday’s victory over Norwich amid fears he could be out for six weeks ruling him out of key fixtures against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham.

However, the club has confirmed the injury was only a fractured toe - not a broken metatarsal - and Barkley has travelled with Everton’s squad for warm-weather training in Tenerife. The early signs are that he could even have a chance of making the Merseyside derby at Anfield on January 28.[/article]

I think Everton have more to worry about with Suarez.

I think Everton have more to worry about with Suarez.

It's set up for a terrific game, just like the reverse fixture. With Suarez and Sturridge in attack, and Sterling and Coutinho attacking their very attack minded full backs. On the flip side, there very attack minded full backs will support there very good wide attacking players against our very average full backs.

I'll take a 5-4 victory.

Apologies.

 

[cloggypop]

Apologies.

Not too disappointed to find out it was the new Everton super saviour.

 

[Ossi]

I think they will suffer. He has been very good. So good that I wish he played for us.

 

[jimmy]

He's already a very good player and I think he has a bright future for them (or for that club they feed across the M62)

 

[Buddha]

When we finish top four and they don't we should make a big bid for this lad in the summer. the next Gascoigne indeed.

At the very least it'll piss 'em right off.

an 8 oclock kick off for the derby means it going to be a real barnstorming game. I cant wait. I think i will take a week off work to prepare and recover
