Paul Tomkins skrifar fína leikskýrslu um Everton leikinn. Mæli með henni, en hér eru nokkrir punktar, sem mér fannst góðir:

Luis Garcia now has nine goals from open play. Has more than adequately replaced Danny Murphy, who scored ten and 12 in his best two seasons, but with the aid of penalties and free-kicks, something at which he really excelled. Luis Garcia gets into the box more, to score poacher’s goals, without ever appearing to be that kind of player. It’s no wonder he’s been called up to the Spanish national team. He had a difficult patch with injury and the birth of his child, but few skillful imports have settled so successfully so quickly. He works hard, runs all day, but of course he’ll always be knocked off the ball on occasion –– let’s be realistic, he doesn’t have Jan Molby’s build

Og um Milan Baros

Baros’ movement against Everton was superb, as he ran into the channels to draw the Everton defenders apart. His work rate remains phenomenal, and his all-round game was superb. It’s just in front of goal where his confidence is lacking. Just as Owen regularly did (and, of course, all strikers do), he’s having that patch where nothing will go in.

Nákvæmlega það sama, sem ég var að reyna að koma að í gær.

Einnig skrifar Tomkins ítarlega um Pellegrino og hans hlutverk í síðustu leikjum. Það er augljóst að Rafa ætlar að halda Hyypia fyrir utan liðið og það virðist vera svo að núna sé vörnin að spila betur með Carra og Pellegrino en hún gerði með Carra og Hyypia. Það verður spennandi að sjá hvað gerist í næstu leikjum. Pellegrino er allavegana búinn að vera verulega góður í síðustu leikjum.
