Is there one being done? Controversial lineup change with Martin back in for Bennett. Rudd keeps his place though. That will put some fans' noses out of joint! Shame that Vadis loses his place in the match day squad. O'Neil brought back in after the dreadful midfield showing against Watford and Howson dropped to the bench with Hoolahan back in 13Rudd 3Wisdom 5Martin 6Bassong 23Olsson 28O'Neil 27Tettey 22Redmond 14Hoolahan 12Brady 10Jerome Substitutes 1Ruddy 7Grabban 8Howson 9Mbokani Bezua 18Dorrans 21Mulumbu 24R Bennett

Not the terrible start I expected. Thought Everton would knock the ball around our area for the first 15-20. We look lively on the counter.
Lukaku scores, our 11th conceded from a cross this season. Why the bloody hell did we drop Bennett when we knew we'd be dealing with an aerially dominant striker?
Was a decent start but too many individual errors - I think it does show the lack of ability at pl level of our players - what the **** can Neil do about that other than sign players
Gutting because we have looked bright. As usual. Individual errors from players who just aren't Premiership quality. This could be any amount of goals now for Everton.
Didn't just start from Olsson though did it - a few minutes earlier Martin gave it away and that brought pressure - errors all over the place
5live commentary is pretty damning. Stuart Pearce reckons we're looking at a 4 or 5 goal defeat. Then our centre backs look nervous together, we're not careful enough in possession, we're not defending properly...
So frustrating the amount of times we have seen this defensive performance this season. Already way way way too many sh*te performances. But, nothing's changed, so cant really expect it to any time soon.
