Sir Landon Of Donovan

A lot of praise for the Strauq and Mofro last night, for me Donovan was the difference in quality, superb delivery for both goals and an all around superb game, he gives us a different dimension.

Media agreed with you:

Telegraph: "Sadly for Everton, the class of Landon Donovan is only a temporary luxury. How Moyes must wish he could lure the 29 year-old to Goodison on a permanent basis. Donovan is halfway through an all-too-brief loan spell, but his contribution retained Everton’s interest in a season which will drift if they don’t build on the FA Cup progress they secured with victory over Fulham.

Donovan created both goals to overturn Danny Murphy’s early penalty, enabling Denis Stracqualursi and Marouane Fellaini to head Everton into the fifth round."

Guardian: Much has changed at Everton in the two years since Landon Donovan last journeyed over from LA Galaxy, and little for the better, but his ability to inspire David Moyes' team is undiminished. The USA captain produced the finest performance of his second spell on loan as Fulham meekly exited the FA Cup.

And my favorite:

That sound you hear is David Moyes ripping up Landon Donovan's passport and throwing his cell phone in the toilet. #IDontKnowWhereHeIsBruce

*********

He's been a part of every goal we've had (I think there was only 1 in which he didn't directly assist), since he's been here. Osman can't get healthy fast enough. Cause right now, our offense is going back to Baines + cross when he leaves.
 
Found the stat:

Donovan, who will be with Everton through Feb. 25, has assisted four of the club's six goals in its last five games.

And really, you could say it's 5 out of 6 as his cross in was the one that Fellaini knocked down for Cahill.

We need other folks to start stepping up as providers.
 

BAD NEWS....
Due to the sh1te getting to the rola cola cup final or whatever it is called these days it means the derby has been moved. As it has changed Landon of Donovan will be back in the US of A. To say its ruined my Monday morning finding this out is an understatement, redsh1te I hate them
 
Landon to now miss the Derby

Due to the sh1te getting to the rola cola cup final or whatever it is called these days it means the derby has been moved. As it has changed Landon of Donovan will be back in the US of A. To say its ruined my Monday morning finding this out is an understatement, is there anything we can do???
 

*prepares to be shot down in flames* is it only me who can't see the huge fuss made over Landon ?? yes admiteddly he is a half decent player but he is no world beater by any stretch of the imagination.. i just don't understand why he has been built up into this all conquering messsi-esque type of superhero saviour of the club..... for me he is slightly better than average.....sorry.
 
want me to make it worse? suarez is now back. worked this out last week. landon gone and suarez back - would have been other way around if city could have done the biz

I think that he is an excellent player. He isn't Messi but he makes superb runs (one of the few players in our team who's movement off the ball is good), he has an excellent delivery and can see a pass, as well as being quick.
