We never beat Everton, Martinez has us sussed.

Bony is suspended (nice to use it up on the cup), so Gomis will start, probably with Montero and (ugh) Emnes on the wings (can we not?) Little Tommy Carroll should get so game time too which will be nice for the lad. Hopefully he can displace Shelvey from the first team.

Oviedo could be back for Everton after shattering his leg and world cup dreams last season. Maybe he and Taylor can compare notes.

Has Shelvey been poo poo? You guys have started the season well enough so I'm surprised you could carry a centre mid like that if he has been.

Also what's Montero like?

He's not been poo poo, really. Shelvey is a decent player capable of really nice stuff, but is handicapped by the fact that he's really thick. He copes badly when under pressure (doesn't help that he's playing next to Ki who is cool as ice) and turns over possession a frustrating amount.

I like his workrate and his head doesn't go down when things aren't going right, but he shoots (badly) and plays pointless hollywood passes or just misplaces simple stuff way too much for us (2nd half against Burnley he was shocking and we could easily have lost the game for it). We play him deep (usually deepest of the 3 midfielders) and it's something he's still adjusting to. But he's not going to turn into Pirlo any time soon.

His best game was against West Brom when they man-marked Gylfi and Shelvey started moving forward into spaces created higher up the pitch, but in most games he's not going to get the chance to do that.


Montero is really stupidly quick (and strong for his size) but lacks end product and really any sort of game other than running fast so far. He's only had short cameos, though.

this is a great post

In Shelvey's defence he's not like say Ramsey on an off day who literally can't do anything right.

He's just noticeably the worst of a pretty good bunch so far this season. Interested to see how Carroll looks once he has a few games under his belt.
