skertl played well. hope masch isn't too badly injured, torres is deadly, babel is getting better every day.

This formation works for us, a new left back (any ideas why aurelio was out?) a right winger and another quality striker to share the workload with torres and we will compete next season.

Rafa, see what a little consistency in your front 6 gets you!

Aurelio was injured AGAIN. Question is do we bring in a new LB or do we promoted Insua. I think Insua along side Agger is good enough for next season.

If we play 4231 then 4 strikers is overkill

Bear in mind though, with 4231, Kuyt is no longer a striker.

aurelio is a lost cause, i remember heggam being quality but out injured all the time too. maybe insua and aurelio next season.

fernando torres is my man crush

TRue, but the crux of my point is that we don't need another world class striker. As long as we get someone on the right who can contribute 10 goals and 10 assists we'll be sorted.

ah we do though. you know rafa, he's not going to play the same formation all year and we need that insurance policy in case torres gets a knock or something.

Sure, the 3 needs to be good, but Right side is more important.

If Kuyt keeps producing the assists for Torres, I'll be happy to keep him there ...

[The Barber]

[The Barber]

I see that Sky are being as fair, balanced and impartial as usual for this game. They've gone and assigned Evertonian Barry Horne as the co-commentator.

According to him the score line wasn't an accurate indicator as to the balance of the game and flattered us

I can only assume that the next time Everton are on Sky we'll see Aldo in as co-commentator.

Barry Horne was on the verge of being ok last night, he just couldn't follow through. My favourite bits of his commentary was when he said "flat" about 20 times in one sentence but mainly at the end when he slated the performance and finished of the sentence with "good value for the win". A contradiction in terms if there ever was one.

John Salako on the other hand seems like a very nice chap.

Exactly - two clearcut assists - they will find a way to produce more of this kind, if they are allowed to continue together.

Torres is amazing. Best signing since Barnes.

We'll be going places if we get a couple of wingers in.

Skrtel is a mammoth.

Finally someone else giving Skrtel praise!!

[RedProf]

Skrtl looks like he could have it all for a CB. I particularly like the way he effortlessly strokes the ball around at the back. And of course, he's big, mean looking and good in the air, and has a burst of pace. Given time, he will improve his positioning and become properly schooled in zonal marking too.

havnt felt these slightly gay feelings since robbie in his pomp

He is operating near the same level that henry was a few years ago, and he can only get better!
