Andrew Johnson isn’t in the match day squad to face Nottingham Forrest! The club haven’t said he’s injured and he supposedly wasn’t up to the Preston game, so whats up this time, maybe he actually is going to leave Everton. Elsewhere Mikel Arteta starts – Pienaar, Yakubu and Baines are all on the bench.

Here is the team:

Everton FC: Ian Turner, Phil Neville, Nuno Valente, Jack Rodwell, Joleon Lescott, Phil Jagielka, Andy Van der Meyde, Dan Gosling, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Mikel Arteta, Agard. Subs: Ruddy, Baxter, Pienaar, Baines, Irving, Molyneux, Yakubu

The game is underway, and we’ve heard Andy Van der Meyde is off injured for Baxter. Mikel Arteta has now gone off (rest).

And according to the Nottingham Forrest official website two unknown players are in the Everton team: Vajielka and Yakuba.

   So, after weeks of speculating about who we’ll sign this Summer, we now find out that Moyes, Kenright and Bully have been busy putting together a 4 year (yes 4 year) deal for Pip.
   Pip thought long and hard for half a second before putting pen to paper ……. the sum total of Moyes’s efforts this Summer …………. oh, with the exception of giving Van Der Useless the number 7 shirt !!!! ……………………………………. Gawd help us all.
