pterodactyls asked: American Landon Donovan scored his first Premier League goal yesterday. I don't expect that it was a big deal, he's just some guy, but it's still pretty neat. Is Everton even a good team?

I saw the goal this morning, and it was a hell of a deflection. They all count though! Donovan’s debut for Everton came against Arsenal, actually, and he played pretty well. Should be a useful player to have in the squad for the second-half of the season.

Everton are a pretty good team, middling to fair. A couple of years ago, they were very good, and pushing for a top-four finish, but the wheels have come off a little since then. They had a bad start this season, but are steadily recovering.

They’ve got some good players in their squad (Cahill and Fellaini spring to mind), and an excellent manager, so they’re underperforming, really.

Ask me anything (about football)
