Nah I don't want him to fail, just skeptical as many players in the EPL will be getting burnt out around this time. Why would you think he is not fit? He just finished his season and had enough rest to reinvigorate himself.

In his interview after the Arsenal game he said he was lacking some game fitness. His first game against Arsenal was a little over a month after the MLS season finished. If you're not consistently playing competitive matches for over a month, you will lose some match fitness. He might be back to full fitness now (not sure how long it takes to get it back), but in his first game or so back he was lacking that match fitness (at least according to him that is)....

Reinvigorate himself? lol you serious? Come nah man ...Dis eh fete match football we talking about ...Fresh and fit iz two different things.

These men does be super fit and sometimes to maintain that level of fitness players are encourage to take time of to not "hit the wall." But if he said he not feeling fitness the no ne can argue with that.

big player...should stay in England...every game I've seen him play for Everton he's done extremely well and the games I've missed they say he's been awesome

Everton should buy him...I bet they extend his loan till May but he will look like a huge hypocrite after blasting Becks for doing the same with Milan

His pace is real pressure. Plus he kicking with both feet and seems to have really good awareness.
He could fit in well on the right for AC Milan.

Wazza,
I agree with you dey. I think he playing well enough to stay there. But he can have his cake and eat it also but using the Beckham principles. It very easy to swallow your pride these days. Actually it was always easy. Money talks. Always!!

I dont hate USA players...I respect the top quality players in their squad... We should not hate on their players..what we should do is replicate their success by using their techniques that the USA federation implemented since 1989... they have a 20 year advantage on us and since then they have been to every world cup comfortably. We have better raw talent...they just have the "factory" to produce a better product

Just typing that shows us how shitty the TTFF really is yes

I'm still waiting to hear exactly how people come up with this notion...How raw we torkin' bout? Because from what I remember youth teams from the U.S. spanking T&T youth teams from way way way back when, from U-16 all the way up....

I think in terms of raw athletic/sporting talent, the U.S. is probably 2nd to none....unfortunately for them (as far as football goes), alot of that raw talent gets channeled into their more high-profile sports from a very young age....

lol yeah I know they talking about raw raw raw, "small goal sweat, drink some beers, eat a food and hit a man a spanner" raw.... (which is why I made reference to the youth teams)....but I just dunno how yuh assess (and compare) raw on the level that they're talking about, and I dunno what that level of rawness has to do with real football... plenty of de raw talent we like tuh "boast" bout iz real shittongs when it come to any kinda meaningful football- and iz no guarantee they woulda been anything special if that rawness was ever developed properly from early... The way we like to extrapolate our love for flair at the grassroots level of meaningless football, into some kinda world class footballing potential that other countries like the U.S. don't also have is a kinda naive and useless romanticism that only implies that we are a society of amateurs who dunno what we doing, and dunno what we talking about

That's why plenty of us will forever rank Donovan as a sh*ttong when he could run circles around plenty of our "raw" talent without barely breaking a sweat ...

Donovan's Everton gamble paying off

Landon Donovan made what could be considered one of the biggest gambles of his career earlier this winter, and it is paying off in a way few could have imagined.

Donovan’s big gamble wasn’t going to Everton on loan in order to take a fourth run at European soccer.

It wasn’t agreeing to a short-term loan move that would include matches against a murderer’s row of top English clubs.

Sure. Landon Donovan: Hard man.

There's a reason that no one is calling it a dirty tackle.

You can see it in this clip at around minute 9.

In fact, I don't even think that Donovan touched Cole. The challenge looked more like foot against ball against foot.

Donovan Lands Award

Landon Donovan has been named Everton's Player of the Month for January.

The on-loan midfielder was presented with his award by Blues legend, Graeme Sharp and Kitbag representative, Victoria Schofield at a lunch in Goodison's Dixie Dean Lounge on Thursday.

The 28-year-old received the accolade due to some fine performances since his arrival from MLS side LA Galaxy at the turn of the year.

They hate him because our current players in scotty and jones cyah see they way plus he's making quick strides in a league that could make yuh or break yuh.

The man is quality and he'll surpass any of our players to the top much faster,yuh see with donovan yuh get consistency but our players are consistently inconsistent........

If anybody was committing a dirty tackle, it was Ashley Cole, not donovan. He delivered one o' dem typical, studs-showing, English tackles and break his typically brittle, English bone. Hard luck fuh We. Maybe hard luck fuh England......

Donovan Battled Illness, ManU

In the aftermath of a famous 3-1 win over holders Manchester United, Everton manager David Moyes revealed that U.S. star Landon Donovan played after a morning flu scare.

"I told him most of the players in England play with flu four or five times a year," said Moyes. "If you are from Los Angeles you probably don't know what flu is!"

Seven minutes later, Everton substitute Donovan was guilty of one of the misses of the season.
Rodwell turned Sebastien Bassong on the left side of the penalty area and threaded a cross across goal that beat Gomes, leaving the on-loan American with the simplest of tap-ins at the back post but inexplicably he fluffed his effort into the side-netting.

Galaxy want Donovan back in March

Everton manager David Moyes's hopes of extending Landon Donovan's loan spell at Goodison Park appear to have been dashed by LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena.

Moyes had hoped to keep Donovan beyond the end of his loan, saying: "I am keen to keep Landon and it sounds initially in America that they might say yes."

But Arena said: "We're not interested. Landon will be back here on 15 March, as we have said all along."

Donovan with goal and assist as Everton hammer Hull

Mikel Arteta’s double, his first Premier League goals for more than a year, fired Everton to an emphatic 5-1 victory over relegation-threatened Hull at Goodison Park.

Spanish midfielder Arteta, who has only just battled back from a long-term knee injury, claimed his first with a scorching volley before teenage Hull midfielder Tom Cairney equalised in style.

Everton striker Yakubu missed a first-half penalty but Arteta’s second, a Richard Garcia own goal and further strikes from Landon Donovan and Jack Rodwell ensured a comfortable three points for David Moyes’ side.
