The Jury: Everton FC fans reflects on the Blues fortunes in 2009
TONY SCOTT, Walton[LNB]I REMEMBER at some stage last season, some so-called Everton experts, fans, journalists and radio commentators twisting the knife into our record signing's performances.[LNB]Step forward the giant shadow figure of Marouane Felliani.[LNB]He has been undoubtedly Everton's best player this season shrugging off any suggestions he can't cope in the Premier League. I've defended the big Belgian on more than one occasion this year, and still stand by my decision that we are lucky to have him.[LNB]It also seems to be totally ignored that the 22-year-old was our top scorer last year in his first season.[LNB]The Premier League is poor and with a couple of decent results you will be back up there again.[LNB]With the majority of our players now back from injury, we cannot afford any more slip-ups or excuses.[LNB]RICHARD KNIGHTS, West Derby[LNB]LOOKING back, it's been a year of two halves - fifth place and the FA Cup final, followed by all those horrendous injuries that have decimated the team.[LNB]Burnley, worst away record in the Premier League and yet even against 10 men we laboured to score.[LNB]How many shots were yards wide or hit the corner flag?[LNB]It was great to see James Vaughan back, hungry to play.[LNB]The main worry is players struggling for form. We know Tim Cahill is playing through an injury, but he looks a shadow of the player from previous seasons. Come on Tim![LNB]The FA Cup game against Carlisle is the kind of easy fixture that has turned into a kind of pratfall from You've Been Framed - Port Vale, Shrewsbury, Oldham. Let's hope Phil Neville will be back to steady the ship.
