Everton Irish and Opposition Irish

I could see the goal coming from where that free kick was positioned, Everton should have
defended much deeper, packed the goal line. Lampard could have scored direct or as it
happened someone just needed to get a touch on it. They shouild have had players
ready to run out towards the ball, not in onto it, where it's so easy to put it in your
own net. It was a goal begging to happen. I'd agree the Irish has good games,
McCarthy having a good game, I thought he might have done better when he had a shot
though.

That game was so mucky. I know its beating a dead horse but they really need to do something about the diving and flopping. It is so ridiculous that it fools the Officials so easily. Chelsea players look like a bunch of ballerinas on ice.

Coleman: Me still believe Everton can make top 4. Me can smell Champions League.

McCarthy best of the batch today in my opinion. Kept the ball relentlessly and broke up West Ham breaks on many occasions. Think he's a crowd favourite too, lots of applause for his contributions.

Coleman had a quieter game but as solid as ever - I think Deolofeu frustrates him and hogs the ball when Coleman's broken his boll!x to overlap into space.

McGeady came on and played well, some very good deliveries, albeit didn't create anything clear cut.

Spanish moron with ideas above his station in frustrating teammates because he thinks he's Xavi shocker.

He's a great talent/prospect in fairness. Just an arrogant, selfish so and so too! Coleman on at least one occasion got visibly fed up with him.

You can use a lot of adjectives to describe Spanish footballers but modesty is not one of them. You had Owen Garvan left out of Palace's 25 man squad in August for people like Jose Campana and look how that turned out. Useless attitude and a distraction in the dressing room. And you wonder why Garvan was annoyed.

McCarthy slip leads to an Arsenal goal. 1-0 Arsenal in FA Cup.

1-1 after a turbo charged run and low cross by Barkley and a calm finish from close range by Lukaku. Barkley very impressive.

It's been a great half of football. Not much to report from an Irish fans perspective.

Just watching the half-time analysis and Coleman is also at fault for the Arsenal goal for marauding out of position.

So it's been a mediocre week for Coleman and McCarthy so far but they can both come out of it smelling like roses depending on circumstances over the next hour.

I don't smell no roses.

McCarthy played fairly well really, he was unlucky for the first goal. He does some great work defensively but it would be great if he could blend in a bit more of the play-making stuff at times. Everton had enough off the ball on Saturday for him to have been more influential. Coleman is going through a mediocre spell after the dizzy heights. Hopefully he can finish the season well.

McGeady starts today, as well as Coleman and McCarthy.

Coleman and McCarthy started and McGeady was an unused sub as Everton turned over Newcastle at St James's Park. Everton are now clear of Spurs in fifth and if they win their game in hand they're within three points of Arsenal in fourth.

And they play arsenal in 2 games' time.

At home, should be a very interesting game. They got a bit lucky at the Emirates.

Mcgeady an unused sub?did geysir not say he would establish himself around now once he got fit?

Queue the spin doctoring of sorts.

3 goals scored and no mcgeady....

It's one game, Paul, postpone the victory dance. Everton fans and Martinez have both been very positive about his contribution so far. I'd say a lot of it has to do with the fact he's still working towards full match fitness (his pre-season started in January) and can't play three games in a week. There's no sense bringing him on when you're 3-0 up if he needs the recovery time.

Its the perfect time!it doesn't matter what he does but giving him time to build his fitness as the game is already won!
