Thought he did ok, the ball bounced off him a few times and he tried to be to clever on the odd occasion, but that might be due to him not been ues to the speed of the game. He made some good runs with and without the ball. He just needs a bit of time and it's great to have options up front again.
I would like to take my seat, been in it 20 years so I think I've more then payed for it, but I also wouldn't begrudge paying a few pounds for it as long as the cash went to a charity.
I think we have better all round players now, who will allow us to change tactics and formation from game to game and even in games without changing the personnel.
Going back to the beginning of the 84/85 season the cup winners cup was seen as a bit of a second rate competition and that we'd struggle with the demands of European football. Is anybody willing to swap that now, even tho it probably cost us the fa cup? I don't think so.
Would love a good cup run be it in this or the fa, it's been too long since I went Wembley with Everton. A good cup run would breed confidence and if we aspire to play European football we better get use to playing twice a week.
Don't see him coming to us, would like him here especially if we could include some of the dead wood in the deal, but he's a London lad who apparently wants to stay in London, and it will be his choice at the end of the day.
I'm hopeful that Bernard will have a great season, his partnership with Digne is great weapon to have. I don't mind him not scoring a load of goals as long as he's creating them. We definitely need a goal scorer tho, would love us to get Costa but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
I'd rather us slip under the radar, the quality we have in are team with a couple of signings we should easily be challenging the top 6 if not the top 4, Arsenal are no great shakes and who knows what's going to happen at United and Chelsea
