To make excuses, Alcaraz + Jagielka aren't the paciest, but I reckon they are both not 100% fit and were slower than usual today.

Steven Gerrard at DM? Probably suits them so he can play those longballs up to Suarez and Sturridge. Liverpool are a hoof-it, longball team after all

Martin Atkinson is the ref... Huh? Not confident given our injuries.... Stones, Hibbert, Heitinga in our defense. Let's hope the Heitinga can find old form, Stones can outplay his experience, and Hibbert can have one last hurrah. Or else we're fooked.

Kind of bummed about this whole situation. Oviedo was doing well. Bummer that Garbutt won't be getting much first team action barring injury to Baines, but at least RM rates him somewhat.

Hope we get a lower league team, Sunderland or Cardiff.

Where's the Arteta money, Matt?

Don't let it happen until after the derby. We might need him for the derby.

He's an attacking mid. WHat are you guys thinking, Barkley might lose a minute of game time if we bring in this highly touted young player.

Coleman might be available for the derby... Apparently it's very minor whatever is hampering him. I think Jags will be available as well.

I would think it's possible, but he would probably have a severe lack of match fitness.

Good decision not to thrown on McAleny... I believe playing him would've meant that we could've only kept him here or loaned him back to Brentford, who has had a manager change since he was there. Now he's available to be loaned anywhere?

Pipe down you 3! Let's not bicker about Anelka.

Looks like a talented and tricky little player. Can't understand a word he says, though.

He's done for the year. Disgusted by that. Gutted for him. Fucking pitch.

Oh fuck.

Really nice to see Hibbert play. He should be able to handle Stevenage... What a sight to see McAleny on the bench. I'd be made up for him if he gets a run out. I'm more worried about us scoring.

Excited about the player, but not if he can't go til the last 9-10 games of the season. It's pointless. We need another capable striker ready to go NOW or in the next few weeks.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was on. We need another Central midfielder, Martinez knows him, I doubt he'd cost that much. He'd definitely be behind McCarthy, Barry, and Gibson when all are fit though. Who knows if he'd be in front or ahead of Ossie. Mixed feelings if this happened. I know we probably aren't in the market for a top end center mid who will cost a lot of money and slot right in to the first 11, but I'm not sure I really rate McArthur.

I'd rather we play Hibbo up front.

It's harder to find a goalkeeper playing time than an outfield player, so the low-level of his loan isn't as alarming.

I'd really like Hibbert to hang around, but I don't want to waste wages on a player that will never play, and I also wish I could see Hibbo playing regularly somewhere, so I'm quite torn on him. Vellios should go, Distin should get an extension, McAleny should get an extension with a promise of loaning him out (Martinez talks about him like he's promising), and I'm unsure about Touray and Springthorpe.

Yes, Thomas Gravesen would fit in our team, however I don't think Per Koldrup would.

Funny. I once signed this lad in a career mode on FIFA, not an Everton one I think though.

Most untrue rumor ever?

Had a laugh at that to be honest.
