Everton in tough for fourth

A week without watching my Blues was tough. Recorded and watched a bit of the Sunderland match where we looked clever at times, but other times not so hot. Lucky break for the AJ goal to count. In the end we would take that result with our injuries. The loss to Fiorentina sounded heartbreaking and again finishing and 1-2 small mistakes could end up costing us fourth and a later trip in UEFA and other cup competitions this year. Yak missing a pen is not surprising but I figured Jags would power one in. Oh well, another lesson learned.

The Fulham game is inexcusable. Moyes will say we were tired and praise the team, but I want to see Rodwell get some time and maybe our young strikers coming up could do a job. Maybe even a VanderMeyde return- just kidding. We must have more class coming through to supplement the lads when we are injured. Yes, it is tough losing bodies and playing through three games in just over a week, but the top clubs are there. Everton can't be there until we get a new stadium and new investment. Thank God for Kenwright, but we also need more money to supplement our great squad. Where is that extra touch of class that helps us polish off Fulham. With a full squad there is plenty of invention, but we need a couple more bodies especially in the midfield.

We need to push hard these last few games and lock down 4th/ 5th and get Liverpool out of where they don't belong. With all that cash, they should lock down fourth easily, so looking forward to the Derby!
