I have to say Joao pedro is one of my favourite non-Chelsea, non-Chelsea-target players in the league. He is technically super clean, runs and presses his ass off all game, is always an outlet for a hopeless attack and now comes in clutch when they need him. Just needs to get a little better with his consistency and end product and he can be a hit. Just 20 y.o. still. Probably not Chelsea material but i hope he stays in the league if watford go down.

The rules are silly..so if they didn't have a covid case it would've gone ahead but because they have one it all counts into the ever changing rules? There has to be a line somewhere 

Think it depends on how much they moan and scream at the FA -and then of course who the decision makers support...

Everton manager Rafa Benitez set to lose job after dismal run of form

https://theathletic.com/news/everton-manager-rafa-benitez-set-to-lose-job-after-dismal-run-of-form/MDdgPHaMTQJ7/

Rafa Benitez is set to lose his job as Everton manager following Saturday’s defeat at Norwich, The Athletic understands.

He is expected to be sacked before the team's game against Aston Villa on January 22.

Benitez’s Everton have won just one of their last 11 matches and suffered a 2-1 defeat to then-bottom of the table Norwich City on Saturday, increasing the pressure on the former Liverpool and Newcastle United manager.

Multiple banners calling for Benitez to lose his job were seen in the away end at Carrow Road.

The 61-year-old signed a three-year contract when he took over from Carlo Ancelotti in the summer, an unpopular appointment with many Everton fans due to his past links to their Merseyside rivals.

Their poor form after a bright start to the season has seen them slip to 15th in the Premier League table, six points above the relegation zone.

Speaking after the Norwich defeat, Benitez said: “We conceded two goals through our own mistakes and that makes it a mountain to climb for us. We have to stay professional, concentrate on the next training session and match.

“I am a professional. I have enough experience and I came here to fix issues that, maybe, are coming from five years ago.

“I have to make sure I analyse these kinds of mistakes we are making and avoid that for the future. Other things are not in my hands. I have to do my job.”
