I really dont want to labour the point, tbh. I know people are sick and tired of the in-fighting. But finding more fault than good in a 6-2 win really is the biggest monument to the unthinking, position-taking prejudice that this manager has had to put up with from a group of die hard opponents who cant stand the thought that we've moved on from the one dimensional hoofball "excitement" they hanker for the return of.
I am happy.
Doesn't mean we can't discuss the finer points of the game though does it really? were you not a little worried in the first 19 minutes up until we scored? Come out that sloppy against better sides and we could easily be 2-0 down, surely worth discussing on an Everton forum without then taking that debate and calling people haters?
24 Nov 2007 Everton v Sunderland W 7-1 Premier League - just saying
Barcelona's buyback option is for €9m at the end of this season and €12m the next. But a) Deulofeu would have to agree to the move which he's unlikely to do unless he has a chance of first team action after his spell on the bench at Sevilla b) their current manager doesn't like him for similar reasons to Emery, lack of tracking back, whilst Gerrard clearly enjoys working with a more relaxed Martinez c) their transfer ban ends soon so they can buy more established players and/or promote others from their academy that better suit Enrique - whilst he is still there doubt there will be any interest on either side.
Reporters in both the UK and Spain have regularly commented that Martinez and Barcelona seem to have a very amicable relationship. Fair point that to date the only tangible proof of that is Deulofeu but at the time his loan was seen as a major coup for Roberto and personally would like to see that link expanded on.
