I need to find some footage of taoday's game then. I assume it's not up the OS yet.

in the words of an ACTUAL supergroup "The Kids are Alright!"

thought they all did very well. Duffy and Coleman I was very pleasntly surprised by their composure. Baxter I was surprised by his workrate.
A mate said "Tackles well for a wee feller"

Here are some short highlights

I have always thought that Baxter would be a great player for us. Saw him in the friendlies against Preston and Forest about 18 months ago where he was composed on the ball and also was excellent at taking freekicks and corners. He did well tonight and made a vital goal line clearance.

I saw Duffy in a friendly against Rochdale in the summer where he scored and played very well, despite one giant cock up. He did well tonight despite never playing for the first team before. Looks as if he may be able to make the step up.

Maybe it's just me, but I get really excited when there are youngsters coming through the ranks. Not just because based on our financial situation we need them to, but it's great to see the hard effort by the coaching staff paying off. And when you buy a player you just never quite know what you'll get. vdM is a prime example of that.

I agree mate. It is always something special when a youngster comes through the ranks. I suppose it is why fans hold Hibbert in such high regard. We may never see a player as loyal and dedicated in our lifetime.

And this from the BBC from today's game:

And the win was the perfect way for Tony Hibbert to mark his record-equalling 19th European appearance in an Everton shirt.

He is a great bloke really. Loyal as they come. One of a kind.... just wish he was better at football.

As a back-up I think he's fine.

Against bolton he chased a loose ball half the length of the pitch and nearly closed it down but he made up a huge amount of ground in virtually no time at all. He seems to like to get forward well. His positioning was pretty good tonight and had he not suffered a knee injury last season, Stubbsy said he would have been in and around the squad right now, ala Rodwell and Gosling.

didn't he play in our 5-0 at benfica? I thought it was him who was afault for virtually all their goals?

Yeah he played left back that evening.

He did, but he played out of position at left back and it was Gosling on the right who got flayed for most of their goals. I actually thought he did ok in that game considering it was against an incredible attacking side and it was his debut and he was playing out of position.

Sure they got the better of him a good few times, but the whole team were bested that night. He was far from the worst.
