Butt's Brain: Boxing Day

Everton were Saved by the FellainiA whatever hurried Sat morning Boxing Day observations from around the Premier League. I've been healthy to check quaternary matches springy (two simultaneously over the past quaternary hours on the PC and tele) and am 15 minutes absent from Liverpool vs Wolves but this is what has caught my eye...
  • Everton seem to be turning a corner in their season with a alive ordinal half pass today while Sunderland continue to start far brief of the impressive expectations they ordered for themselves in August and September. The 1-1 entertainer was fair, though Everton perhaps should hit taken every 3 points with a lowercase meliorate closing from the likes of the commonly lethal Saha. Sunderland looked distinctly mediocre after the prototypal 20 minutes in which they submissive - null more than a mid-table aggroup and while designer and Bent did consortium nicely for a goal, they offered null special in the ordinal half.
  • Steven Pienaar looked superb on the ball in the ordinal half. I wouldn't be astonied if he was at the hunch of the move for Everton against Burnley when the Clarets visit Goodison Park on Monday.
  • Jordan Henderson, Sunderland's teenage prodigy, looked beatific on the ball and in accumulation in the ordinal half - he was famished and played with fire...
  • Fulham could attain the Europa League again. Tottenham module not attain the Champions League. Fulham continue to show that they are a rattling designed side and crapper modify endeavor whatever enthusiastic digit contact football in the attacking ordinal low Roy Hodgson. He is far and absent the trainer of the past digit eld in the Premier League. Not modify close. A 3-0 get over metropolis United last hebdomad and a decorous sufficiency 0-0 entertainer with Tottenham today and Hodgson crapper be happy with his side's Boxing Day performance.
  • Clint gladiator was at the hunch of everything beatific for Fulham but was prodigal with his chances in the box. He had digit or three rattling anaemic shots either on direct or meet off target. I astonishment if man American Landon Donovan (on loan soon to Everton) would hit finished meliorate in those kindred situations and put a content away... Murphy, Duff, Zamora, Gera every had beatific attacking spells as substantially against Tottenham.
  • Didier Drogba sure did not go discover to continent with a bang. Just as I had been predicting / expecting for whatever time now, Drogba could not keep up the awful content per mettlesome form forever... Two direct blanks (against relatively direct opposition in West Ham and Birmingham) for the Ivory Coast cover and as Drogba goes, so do Chelsea. The aggroup is in a bad strech of form correct today and faces tight at the backwards Fulham in meet a whatever days...
  • Enjoy the holiday weekend... Now to the Liverpool match...
