On the bench? I'd play him. It'd be Jones on the bench (at best) if it were up to me.
Gulasci - recall ?

Really? If he can't get a game for Hull then i'd rather have Jones.
I'm kind of leaning that way too JJ. Cant say I've seen enough of either to make an informed decision but, from what I've seen, Gulasci looks the better option. I'm no expert of course.
Gulasci is 21 and is regarded as a good prospect mate. Jones is 30 and not really done much. Whoever plays, I'll be willing them on though
Well, true and Jones is clearly prone to a howler but it'd be a massive risk which could cost Kenny his job (not suggesting he should!) if he played Gulasci.
Why ? Both are inexperienced. It's like choosing between a rock and hard place. Jones's reactions just seemed a little slow for me and I think Gulasci cuts a more imposing figure i.e. he's a big fecker less likely to get bullied off the ball which you know will be the EFC tactics. I still expect Jones will start though
I won't be basing my opinions of Jones on that last game. It was a strange game, and anyone can make mistakes, especially when they haven't played in a long time.
Jones is the more experienced and should start.
Although I'm saying this without having seen much of either of them.

I don't know about reserve games, regarding Gulacsi but Jones has been a regular for the reserves. So at least he's match fit.
I guess they'll see in training.

considering what he has been through i'm routing for jones to get a game and have a stormer .
Fair point but you don't have to be super fit to be a goalie. It's more about sharpness and Jones just didn't look it for me although nerves may have played a part.
I'd love that too/ I'm right behind the lad if he does play and it would be a great lift for the lad.
Uphill with the penalty save- downhill with the gaff.
I think the win gave him some confidence. I think he'll do well with Skrtel and Agger infront of him.
the fuck up from jones was amazing. if I were everton I would just bombard the keeper with hoofs into the box*
*in other words it will be business as usual for everton.

Brad Jones = the new Patrice Luzi
Being a third choice keeper can't be the most fun job at the best of times but its hardly a further confidence boost if, possibly the one time you are ever called upon to actually play, the club brings someone in to replace you!
To be honest when you get down to the third choice keeper they are probably much of a muchness anyway so I can't say I'm too concerned which one plays.

what did he do?
Dudek got injured during a game, Kirkland was already injured (obviously) so Luzi came on as sub. We won the game (1-0 at Stamford Bridge) but then the next day Houllier went out and got Paul Jones in on loan.
Houllier was always a bit harsh on keepers come to think of it
Basically our second choice keeper was injured (Kirkland, no surprise). We were playing Chelsea and Dudek got injured during the game, so Luzi was brought on and did relatively well (we won). So this was Luzi's big chance.
However, a couple of days later Houllier decided to contact Southampton in order to loan Paul Jones, basically a goalie past his prime.
He was terrible and that was the first and last time Luzi played for us.
Everyone questioned what the point of a third choice keeper was after what transpired that season.

would be great news if true, i've been banging on about the lousiness of the current rule for ages. the other one that always gets me only giving a pen and red card when a player handballs a shot on the line. it'd be better to give a goal and a yellow card, so to avoid obvious injustices like Ghana suffered in the World Cup.
Lad I work with is a qualified coach/ref and was telling me about the changes yesterday
Weirdly i remember getting in Paul Jones but i don't remember Luzi playing.
I think it was only for about 15 minutes.
but we've already got the reverse of this situation with defenders desperately trying to tackle before the box, because a few inches further back the punishment is much more lenient on the team (if not the player).
the main consideration is whether a penalty is as good a goalscoring opportunity as a normal one from open play. if it is - it'd be interesting to see what the stats say - then there's really no sense in sending a man off for denial of a goalscoring opportunity, because there'd be no incentive to act as you suggest: you might as well let the play proceed and save the yellow card.
