He can stay if he keeps playing like this, but think he will be back to his old self up at Everton. I am sure Sherwood can find a suitable replacement.

Well lets hope Everton go down then and then we don't want him.

He is working four times as hard under Sherwood. It's quite an English trait, but it's a lot more palatable as a fan to see effort even if there isn't much execution. That said I think he has played alright.

Not at all bothered about him going to Everton. Yes he's been better recently but that wasn't particularly difficult.

He looked woeful under Lambert. Looks a much better player under Sherwood. If he keeps that up, then he'd be a decent free transfer.

Is he on a free at the end of the season, he's been very good last 3 or 4 games.

He's going to be asking for a fatty Bosman style wage and I think there's more productive players available for that kind of outlay.

The difference is passing the ball forward and being positive. Although it's reflected throughout the whole team though.

Think I will have to watch yesterday's game back as I don't remember him being that good.  But then that might have been more me just getting caught up in the atmoshere and not noticing his performance so much.  Midfield is the main area I would look to strengthen in the summer.  We need more of a goal threat and better creative players from those positions.  That and a new striker to replace Benteke who sadly I do think will be moving on.  Cleverly can go too.  Despite his improvement I just don't think he is good enough in the long term for us unless we end up in the Championship of course :-X

As I have said previously Cleverly was the pick of a poor bunch in the first half. Lets watch and see. I also  thought Sanchez was very influential when he came on.

Yeah bringing Sanchez on was a good sub because we did need to tighter up.  I would like to see him start games as I think he would give the other midfielders more freedom.

Sherwood's done the right thing by getting us play more freely with a core of players but bringing on the less experienced Premier League players when things are going well, rather than expecting them to know what to do from the start. It's good man-management to keep them involved and to only use them in the right circumstances.
