Barkley is out, Coleman went off with what looked like a hamstring. That's it.

So just two of their best players then

according to physio room pienaar is injured as well?

Coleman only went off as a precaution, it didn't look bad. Hope it's bad enough to keep him out, obviously.

Yeah long term.

I thought the same with Flanagan - he's been out for weeks now.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but how good were Carragher and Neville last night?

Monday Night Football is now so good it's unmissable. My lad was watching a Spiderman film last night which ran til about 7.30 - I recorded MNF and watched it all when he'd finished. I never do that - if I've recorded football I fast forward through all the talking and watch the action, but I recorded it last night because I wanted to see all the talking and analysis.

I thought Carragher was woeful to begin with - mega nervous and saying nothing insightful - but he's really blossomed and his partnership and riffing with Neville is brilliant. And his very last word last night made me do an actual LOL.

With Coleman all action style, he will struggle to be fully right for the game against us. He definitely looked like he pulled it straight down and taken off right away. Even if it's a twang/twinge... it's still there. Hopefully our game comes to early for him. Big loss for them as is Barkley & Pienaar.

Hopefully Hibbert will fill in but they brought on John Stones ("inventor of the paint trophy" ) last night who looks a great prospect, albeit at centre back and not RB.

The legend that is Tony Hibbert dun dun dun

As regards Stones ("inventor of the paint trophy"), few of lads that support Everton are raving about him. Only seen him a few times and he's looked ok. Just wondering if it's a case where they are bumming up one of their own... or like Barkley is he actually a genuine talent?

[Shaggy]

Only really seen highlights reels tbh. My Bluenose mates absolutely cream their pants about him. Struggled a little bit at right back last night.

[danperkins]

He did struggle alright for sure... although the last 10 mins when he came on West Brom were pushing hard.

Glad Everton have a few absent.. it's always nice to see that it's not only us that have bad luck with injuries. Such a massive game vs Everton... ****ting myself.

It was fantastic much better than the game itself.

The analysis on formations was superb showing how many teams were going on variations of 4-4-2 and a lot of our issues against Villa came from them going with the diamond and us having Sterling and Phil too wide.

The Neville even stuck a 'sure you bored us all with a Houllier 4-4-2' jibe at Carra at one point..........

They offer the sort of insight that BT Sport miserably fails at with its pundits. Michael Owen could only dream of talking football like Carra and Neville do.

Few good games on Sky tonight, what's everyone watching?

Think I might go Roma vs Juve

[Muddled]

I thought that was tomorrow, but you're right. I'm with Espanyol vs Real Madrid at the moment, but if West Ham bend over for Manchester City, I might watch that goal fest. Tough choice to be honest.
