Good to see Gibson back. Let's hope he can work his way into the team now and get a good run of fitness.

Coleman and McCarthy start the Merseyside derby. Gibson on the bench. Worryingly, McGeady isn't in the squad at all with Aaron Lennon on the bench.

crap game, Coleman has been pretty crap, two very poor crosses

**tricky_colour** · 07/02/2015, 6:14 PM

livened up late on after a few yellow cards

**tricky_colour** · 07/02/2015, 6:15 PM

Coleman nearly scored, shot saved.

**Crosby87** · 07/02/2015, 10:27 PM

Is McGeady hurt?

**tricky_colour** · 07/02/2015, 10:51 PM

He must be pretty upset.

Gibson replaced Barkley on 74 minutes in Everton's 1-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tonight. Coleman played the full 90 minute and was booked. No sign of McGeady in the squad at all; Lennon started and was replaced by Miralles on 74 minutes.

McCarthy also came off the bench at half-time to replace Be�ić and was later the recipient of a booking (and some sort of weird head-thrust/possible bite combo to the back from Ivanović).

Martinez is saying that if the bruise doesn't heal in time, he'll have to miss the Poland game.

McGeady is sidelined with a bad bruise on his knee: http://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/3942/...-his-very-best

Hopefully he returns to fitness soon as we'll need him against Poland.

**DannyInvincible** · 11/02/2015, 11:21 PM

Did McGeady miss the Liverpool game for the same reason or when did he pick this up?

**Charlie Darwin** · 12/02/2015, 12:32 AM

Yeah, he missed Liverpool for the same reason. I'm surprised you didn't pick up on Martinez calling him British though, clearly trying to turn his head back to declaring for Scotland

Really don't know what McCarthy was actually booked for, other than hanging around the scene of the crime. Ivanovic looked like a right gurrier, and he's normally one of the few Chelsea players I'd have a bit of time for.

on the radio they said he was booked for mouthing off at the ref. match reports seem to focus on whether or not ivanovic headbutted/bit him - didn't see a reason for the booking mentioned.

I nearly brought it up, but thought I better give it a bit of time before posting to cool off!

Has Suarez turned Ivanovic into a football vampire.

martinez will have to manage mcgeady fitness and only play him the odd 15 mins out of 90 when he recovers...

mcgeady has had very little impact since arriving in Liverpool, between small injuries and form and ability

**DeLorean** · 13/02/2015, 9:00 AM

His all round game has been pretty decent, but he lacks that genuine goal threat that the likes of Mirallas have, a vital component for Fantasy Football merchants in particular.
