Sam obviously didn't sign Zarate and as a result got rid too soon to make a point. He would have been well handy cover for Sakho in January and he could still have shoved him out on loan just as the window closed.

Anyway, Everton are currently shit, have players out and could well lose. So we definitely won't win.

The only comfort for me is that we could put out a team of reserves in this game that is eons away from the poor sods we put out for the slaughter this time last year.
