Who's on your Boxing Day line up? I'm going up to Newcastle for the Everton game on Boxing day myself, so I'm not entirely sure what the plan is when we get back. Radio Slave, Ryan Elliot and Slam are on in Liverpool so I could pay on the door for that. The thing is though with Liverpool nights...
Worth saying that Lukaku's first touch has improved since last season and I reckon his good form is also down to the link up with Kone, Barkley and Deulofeu. If anybody watched the Palace game last monday, you can see clearly we play loads of one-twos, flick ons etc..
Pitch invaders, hmm I was on the front row myself. When you have 1200 people behind you pushing forward celebrating a last minute winner, some people do tend to spill onto the pitch. Admittedly I haven't seen any replays, but safe to say we we're shocking that second half. But that is football...
Having watched the highlights I have to say some of the football we played was astounding. The one touch play leading to the first goal was superb. Sadly for Villa I think they are finished, there was not one aspect of that side which you could call strong. Richardson was woeful all game.
Decisive Everton victory, never in doubt. Aston Villa the worst side I've seen at Goodison in the last few years (Hodgson's Liverpool comes a close second). Lukaku and Barkley excellent once again.
