i have Burnley/Everton on in the background while I play with our toddler. I missed the goal, though I was in the room. Not a lot to hold my attention to it...
If Karius keeps this up he's going to save the club a fortune come summer.Newcastle actually get a good shot off, and Karius does really well to tip it over.
No one's questioned the fee for a few weeks now, and rightly so. He'll be one of the first names on the team sheet for the next few years, he makes other players around him better, and he's still got room for improvement. Reminds me of when Rio went to Man U from Leeds.Van Dijk's cushioned defensive headers to a teammate are worth pretty much half his transfer fee
This is how I feel re: Everton. Obviously Allardyce has only been there for a couple of months, so it's not the end of an era with all that entails, but the sentiment is the same - if Everton were miraculously to reel off four or five wins in a row it would make it harder for the club to fire him at the end of the season. As long as Everton stay up I'm fine and I'd be OK with them limping to the finish if it would hasten Sam getting shot into the sun.Sadly, while I continue to root for the club I find myself not really even minding the bad results at this point, as long as they hasten/ensure Wenger's departure. I wish it didn't have to end this way but he brought it on himself and has only himself to blame.
I don't blame you. Everton is good enough and talented enough that relegation shouldn't be a serious threat, so they might as well go with riskier, high-upside managers that might make the whole greater than the sum of the parts and break into the top six. Big Fat Sam might be OK as a mid-season caretaker but he makes no sense as a guy to entrust with actually taking the team somewhere.This is how I feel re: Everton.

Hey Look! We can both play!!I don't blame you.
