Personally I say 'no'. I'd rather Ross Barkley was given more time to heal %100 than throw him into such a game, and risk losing him for even longer. And let's be honest, you just know that Goofy Magoo will be running around stomping on the feet of any Player in a blue shirt :/
Roberto Martinez: 'Ross Barkley could have injection to face Liverpool'.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has said that midfielder Ross Barkley could play in tonight's Merseyside derby at Liverpool.
The 20-year-old has not featured for the Toffees since picking up a toe injury in the 4-0 win over Queens Park Rangers on January 4.
Barkley will undergo a late fitness test ahead of the Anfield clash and may receive a pain-relieving injection if he is involved.
"He might have an injection because the injury will allow that, but what we can't afford is to lose him for a longer period," Martinez explained.
"So it is a possibility he could have an injection but, it's a blessing not

I wouldn't risk him from the start if there is s achance he will aggravate his injury and miss even more games.
Different if it was later in the season but there is still a long way to go and we have too much to play for to elevate the derby above our future prospects.

Would love to see Barkley unleashed against their joke of a defence. But I agree...***** player for me. If he's on the bench it could be a morale booster. Bobby knows what he's doing.

True. Three defenders against three attackers doesn't really go does it...
Looked sharp tonight but still reckon we should rest him against Villa ahead of the important match against Spurs.
