Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [19th - 26th December 2014]

Falcaoooooooo!!!!!

Is it just me or is the ref is really **** positions a lot of the time. Seems to be in the way a lot.
 
lol, did anyone see Carroll do a completely retarded leg thing then fall into a trench thing alongside the pitch, actually looked from how long he took to get up that he might have done something pretty nasty but he got up and is carrying on, looked ridiculous/hilarious though :p

Chelsea did brilliantly out of Lukaku - £28million wasn't it? He basically paid for Fabregas.

He turned 21 in May, in 19 starts and 3 sub appearances he has 7 goals and 3 assists. Everton have had more injuries and a tougher season with more appearances in a shorter space of time. Any smaller squaded team will 99% of the time do worse in general comparing a season without european/long cup runs vs a season with europe and maybe more cup games as well.

He's young and hasn't played at that top level 60 games a season rate and he had a longer summer to go with it after a great season. he's doing absolutely fine, danny just hates him. There is no young striker in any league who has scored as well as him in the past 3 years, he won't score 15-20 league goals every year, but he has done that for two seasons in a row before turning 21. There is a reason why guys like Ronaldo, Bale, Suarez(to a lesser degree) Messi all get better and more consistent at 23-24, and Ronaldo/Messi have gotten more consistent since then and towards being 30 as well. 24-30 year old players at top teams tend to cope far better with european football and cup runs and playing closer to 70 games a year than 45, teams that are consistently in europe are also more consistent with that number of games. If Everton get far in the competition and he played 50+ games this year, and again next year he'll do better, if they do it again he'll improve more until like other older players he becomes more accustomed to playing 50+ games a year.

Only people who are expecting WAY to much because the price is factoring in how good he could be IN THE FUTURE, are disappointed with him in a tough year for a young striker.

There is no striker with the level of potential he's showed in europe currently. He could still easily finish this season with 15+ league goals. 28million for a 21 year old who scored 15+ in the past two seasons is a snip and a tough first year for this squad in Europa league doesn't change that.

Oooohh whats happened here?

Bit of a harsh red. He did just boot him but probably yellow worthy. Credit to Agbonlahor, he made sure Young was alright.
