striker

I nodded off, is it over yet?

So does that count as a shot?

Boy are we sleepwalking through this one. Luckily all it should take is one goal.

Koeman has taken them from 11th to 7th, and will finish up more than 14 points higher this year. I think he has done a very good job. I also think Puel has done a good job. Battling for 10th with all the injuries and CL games, plus making a run at a Cup, is a good season. Austin, VVD, and Targett were all big loses. I believe even now, after not playing since December, Austin is still our leading scorer.

Fulham is the hot team right now. They are in top form and trouncing teams.

Ha ha, before I read it i thought you meant #29 in the PL. I was ok with that analysis.

Big Sam is the man (again). CP is winning some big games.

In my opinion, CP is the one who's really in trouble here. They end with Liverpool, Spurs, Burnley, and Man City. That could be 4 losses. Then they end at home against Hull, which could be the deciding match for relegation spot #3.

Ha, I'm sure Ladbrokes thinks it is.

Put a fork in MID, they are going down with SUN. On the other hand, I think Burnley and CP are now in the relegation hunt for spot #3 now also (along with Swansea and Hull)

Wow how bad is Stoke today? Losing to a 10 man squad that is in relegation.

and just like that Swansea doubles their output for the last 6 matches, 1-0 Swansea after 10 minutes.

Swansea have scored one goal in their last 6 matches and have gotten just 1 point. Hull on the other hand have shown improved form. I'm rooting for Swansea (not sure why), but they need to turn it around.

I think Puel is good, so I'm not a "Puel go" guy like some here. However I think Koeman is the better manager. He has done a very good job everywhere he's gone. I think he's done very well at Everton this season. Puel has been dealt a tough hand. Losing his only goal scorer in December in Austin, and not getting another until Gabbi a few weeks ago. He also lost the center of his defence in Fonte and VVD. Next season with Austin and Gabbi in full force, VVD back, and the youngsters with another year under their belt, we should be improved.

Long is ****ed. The 3rd goal wasn't all Stephens. No one is talking and let him know Aguero slipped behind him. They need to talk and act as 2 unit.

What's going on with Long?

Still shocked at the miss by Tadic. He was so hesitant, it was like he was scared to hit it.

Wow that was bad. How can a professional footballer miss like that. Its like he was very hesitant to take the shot.

Benteke is tearing up LC right now

Crystal Palace just woke up after 55 minutes. Must have had a rough Friday night.

I like him. He's young and a solid player. We have a lot of good, but not great, midfielders that other teams would love to have. Because of this he is in the "rotation", which limits his playing time. The depth here is one of our team strengths.

22) Soon we will have good chinese food at St. Mary's

Big Sam is the man!

One more half to go. This could be a big win on the road.

Did Long dive or did he get tripped? Its hard to tell. The ref must have thought he dived, he was right there.
