But Oscar's playing no10? Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't RLC seen as holding/central midfield player? If you were upset about Mikel I'd understand, but our hands are a bit tied with this position aren't they?

And who do you suggest plays instead of him? Please don't say Musonda either.

Gotta have hope my friend!

That's why I think Lukaku would have no worries about coming back if we were to go for him in June. He'll relish the fact he'll be the one other will have to compete with as opposed to what he had before.

Stones got suckered into that challenge, showed his inexperience today but cracking game!

Lol I see that, but you don't understand my point. Hiddink been left with this shit squad, he's been ushered in under circumstances which are not ideal at all and he's still trying to find the best way to utilise them. We got our wish of him taking Fabregas out the equation last weekend and now he'll have another chance to see where else he needs to change things. Remember this is only his second game in charge.

PENALTY to Soke!

Let it be Deeney, please let it be Deeney!!

Let's just wait for the match to play out first Only on TC are people as, if not more, wound up before the game start than after!

Lool but do you really think he's going to change anything now? Ivanovic's experience makes him valuable to Hiddink or any other interim manager that would've come in. Right now it's about getting out of the relegation battle.

https://streamable.com/adg2 3-3, you guessed it.. Another dope goal.

I mean.. I don't see how anyone can be unhappy? If you actually think youth integration is happening from today, especially when Hiddink has virtually given all the players a 'do over', then this is a harsh wake up.

https://streamable.com/jwtc Great goal from Deulofeu! Lukaku & Barkley involved again. Can we just sign them?

15 goals for the season now, tied with Jamie Vardy..

https://streamable.com/gq94 Lukaku's goal.. Anyone see shades of Drogba there?

https://streamable.com/k2ac Lost his head.. Bizarre from him.

To be fair, from what I've heard he's done a job all season.. Can't verify that because I haven't watched Everton all season, but surely a 21-year old is allowed the odd bad game here and there? Like we allow Zouma to.

Indeed.. Alluded it to it a few days ago, but very similar to when Carlo won the Double. Great achievement but lack of vision and foresight cost him & us.

Haven't tuned in to be honest, Spurs game had my attention.. May switch over depending on next goal

I really do wonder when we're going to come out of this cycle the club has of 'nearly' building a long-term team. We simply haven't managed to do it, ironically enough, since Mourinho built the last one (with the help of Ranieri). Go figure

https://streamable.com/ptr9 Xherdan Shaqiri, take a bow son.

Good shout, but I want to see how he does under Hasselbaink now.. If QPR stick by him, Austin will learn a great deal.

Lol very debatable. Lampard, Drogba, etc? As for being a better CB, that might be true now but the declines will be telling.. Especially considering that Terry is much older.

I don't think we're selling anyone established in January, because as you said there's no replacements available. I'm anticipating a very quiet market to be honest. Club's going to take a 'do the best with what you're given' approach, I'm sure.

No mention of Max Meyer? Isn't he meant to be the next best product coming out of Germany since Ozil? I would post an XI, but I really haven't watched enough European/Intl football this season to know. So I'll chip in by mentioning the odd player here and there .. But here's an England one; Butland Aina - Stones - Chambers - Shaw Alli-----Loftus Cheek -------------------Barkley------------------- Sterling ---------------------------- Ibe Kane Subs: Dier, Galloway, Ward-Prose, Redmond, Wilson
