I know Mikel hasn't been great but some people should really be careful with what they wish for..

Just 1 early team related news. Mikel is one yellow card away from serving a one game suspension in the Champions League.

Arsenal and Man City won. That late late goal against Everton looks even more crucial and valuable now. Pressure is all now on Liverpool tomorrow...

This. You can fault him for his offensive contribution but not so with his defensive work really.

Well considering we didn't know Oscar had an injury then, he was pretty frustrating to watch especially because he kept on losing challenges so easily and did nothing of note going forward.

If anyone is interested in wanting to scout Galatasaray, they play their league game at 5pm UK time today at home to Besiktas. It's 3rd vs 2nd.

I really have no words to describe Torres anymore. Since he came on, he seems to be only interested in bitching to the referee and acting all tough and not chanelling all this stupid behaviour into putting in proper effort for the team. What's more, every time when someone else plays the ball to him, Torres is always seen slow on his heels, not reacting quick enough and allow his marker to get there first. I mean how on earth do you expect to get chances, to score goals if you don't even put in any effort into reacting quickly, making any sort of runs for the passer to pick out?! He's like forever expecting others to do everything for him to score! It's also hilarious that every time Torres battles out with defenders for the ball, he hardly ever wins it and this despite showing all those (silly) aggressiveness or so called effort to do so and more often than not, gives a foul away! I mean just WHAT THE FUCK?!!

That! Just can't bloody wait to actually have a proper LB at LB and RB at RB. The first half today was a clear illustration of the problem offensively with having a RB at LB, if we need it anymore. Hazard got the ball and attacked down the Everton right side on numerous occasions but had no support from the LB. Because of that, Hazard always had 2-3 players marking him and had to cut inside to get away from them.

Was rubbish when he first came on but got a tad better as the game wore on. The change to 4-3-3 helped and freed up Lampard too. And his high level of energy and stamina was evident in the last 10-15 minutes in pressurizing Everton.

Indeed Jose. Thought Azpi was a monster today defensively especially in the second half. The number of 1 v 1 battles he won and interceptions made was crucial in keeping up our late pressure on Everton.

That would explain Oscar losing challenges so easily today. Even when he doesn't play well in a game, he usually puts himself about and don't get beaten often in challenges but that wasn't the case today and his poor tackle at the end of first half was very un-Oscar.

OH MY GOD! WHAT A MASSIVE WIN THAT IS IN A HUGELY FRUSTRATING GAME!!

It's because the players are tired you know. They are fatigue......

Traore injured in warmup. Naismith comes in for him. He has scored 2 goals in 3 league appearances against us.

Not for me though. They are rather an unnecessary addition for a jersey when it can be kept just simple and normal like it always is.

From Cantona's £10,000-a-week deal to Rooney's new £300,000 contract... how the Premier League's highest wage has soared

Assuming that is true, love the yellow color but ugh, why the collar?! Hate having collar on jerseys!

Ronaldo is apparently earning 270k p/w wages while Messi is 250k. And moved that post to this thread (which have been moved from the Transfer Talk section) so that you lads all can continue any discussion about Rooney. (cc @Kezza)

Seriously, get back to talking about the Everton game. No more Torres v Eto'o debate please!
