Everton v Hull

Everton vs Hull City – Goodison Park

Everton go into this game on the back of a professional performance against League Two outfit Macclesfield. Unbeaten since Ashley Young’s last minute winner last month and successive clean sheets to boast as well. Segundo Castillo may be in contention for a start, coming back from injury but no other new boosts for David Moyes’ team. It will be interesting to see if £15 million man Maroaune Fellaini starts, who is on 9 bookings with two Merseyside Derbies on the horizon.

Brown is likely to bring back a few players that missed out in the 0-0 draw with Newcastle in the FA Cup. Ian Ashbee, Boaz Myhill, Bernard Mendy and Zamil Zayette all set to return. Another who missed the cup tie was Nick Barmby, who is set to play his first game at Goodison Park since his move from Everton to rivals Liverpool. He is sure to get a reception of some kind by the Evertonians. The Tigers recent league form has been worrying. Not winning since Middlesbrough at home but also have a great 2-2 result at Anfield. More concerning for Phil Brown’s men is that they have conceeded 10 goals in 3 games in the Premier League. I’m sure he has been working hard beinhd the scenes to stop the rot.

Barmby – Bring on the Evertonians

Nick Barmby has stated he is unfazed by the reaction of the Everton crowd on the eve of his first return to Goodison Park, 8 years after leaving them and joining their hated rivals Liverpool.

The man known as “Judas” by many Evertonians has only played against his former team away from Goodison Park and that includes scoring against them in a Merseyside derby which finished 3-1.

He told a Hull newspaper – “I’ve had it all before and you just focus on what you are doing on the pitch. It’s nothing new to me.

“At the end of the day it is up to the fans. I had four or five great years at Everton, it is a great club and I have still got some friends there.

“All in all, I had seven years on Merseyside and it is a great place to play football.

“I knew when I moved from Everton at the time the effect it would have, but I’m going back there now as a Hull City player and the focus for us and myself is on getting a good result there.

“I knew it was a talking point going to Everton’s rivals, but they got good money for me at the time and I only had a year or six months left on my contract.

“I have fond memories of my time there, but at the end of the day you can’t control what people think or do. So if the crowd are hard on me, then I can’t stop that.

“I scored for Liverpool against Everton and it didn’t go down too well on the blue half, but that is what you are paid to do.”

Hull Require a New Gardner

Hull have completed the signing of Tottenham defender Anthony Gardner on a 6 month loan deal to strengthen their squad as the Premier League season approaches.

Gardner spent the previous 6 months out on loan at Everton but was un used as he was injured for a majority of the time.

He told the Hull Local Newspaper – “I do feel like I’ve got a bit of a point to prove now.

“Not playing regularly and being at a big club where there’s lots of competition, it got very frustrating.

“Spurs are a club where you’ve got internationals in every position and sometimes it’s difficult to cement a place and play week-in and week-out.

“Over the last two years I haven’t played regularly either through that or through fitness.

“I’m looking to stay fit and play games, that’s my first port of call.”

The New King Of Hull

Marlon King moved a step closer to a move to Premier League new boys Hull City after he successfully agreed personal terms for the former Watford man.

However a delay in the transfer has occurred due to King and Wigan having a difference in opinion when it comes down to the striker getting paid off as he did not request to leave the JJB stadium.

Hull manager Phil Brown said – “I like what I see and hear, but there’s unfinished business at their end.

“So until that’s done we can’t move forward. Our business is done at our end, but it’s not our decision.”
