Everton FC

Oh dear. It is like some kind of sick cosmic joke when Louis Saha is your fittest available striker. I haven't seen today's game yet (praise be to whoever thought up the concept of Match Of The Day 2), but I am reliably informed that we played well and the win was deserved on balance. But putting a massive downer on an otherwise excellent result was the news that The Yak has ruptured his achilles tendon and will be sitting out the rest of the season.

While I haven't been the man's biggest advocate this season (the lazy so-and-so), this is a huge blow for us with James Vaughan probably out for a similar period with a knee op, leaving the accident-waiting-to-happen that is Louis Saha as our main striker for the rest of the season. While its clear the Yak has been underperforming thus far, I feel we are going to desperately miss his ability to create a goal from nowhere when we aren't playing well.

Time for Anichebe and this 'Lukas Jutkiewicz,' character to step up...
