With Everton, David Moyes has been deprived of funds for much of his time in charge. In recent years he’s had to meticulously assess players, rely on his scouts and be prepared to be imaginative in the transfer market.

After a couple of quieter windows, this previous January saw the Scot back to his creative best, bringing in Steven Pienaar and Landon Donovan on loan, as well as signing Darron Gibson and Nikica Jelavic up for permanent deals. All four transactions were predominately offset by the sales of Louis Saha and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.

Following the success of these signings, expect Moyes to expand his squad further this summer.

Transfer Targets

Steven Pienaar – Everton (Tottenham) – Midfielder

Everton will look to keep South Africa midfielder Steven Pienaar on a permanent deal this summer.

Pienaar is currently at Everton on loan from north London side Tottenham following a disappointing spell at White Hart Lane. Moyes is planning on speaking with the 30-year-old and hopes he can persuade him to sign on for his second spell with the Toffees.

The South African moved to Tottenham in a surprise move during last year’s January transfer window but failed to make the grade at the London club, often finding himself on the bench behind the likes of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.

Moyes stepped in and offered Pienaar a route back to Goodison Park on transfer deadline day back in January and the 30-year-old has impressed once again.

Jonas Olsson – West Bromwich – Defender

Everton are ready to pounce for West Brom contract rebel Jonas Olsson with the defender’s stay the The Hawthorns heading for an end this summer.

The towering Sweden international is yet to put pen to paper on a new contract and with just 12 months left to run, the Baggies could be forced to cash in on the 29-year-old rather than risk losing him on a free.

Toffees boss David Moyes is believed to be a huge admirer of 6ft 4in Olsson, whose future is further complicated by the uncertainty of departing manager Roy Hodgson’s future replacement.

Olsson is prepared to wait until after Euro 2012 – in which he play against England in Ukraine this summer – before deciding his fate but the defender has previously hinted he wants to move on to a bigger club.

Jay Rodriquez – Burnley – Striker

Everton manager David Moyes wants to sign Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez but the Championship side want £8m.

Southampton and Fulham are also keen on Rodriguez, 22, who only has one year left on his contract.

Southampton had a £5.5m bid turned down in January and Newcastle also made an enquiry for the England U21 striker.

Clint Dempsey – Fulham – Midfielder

David Moyes plans to make another move to lure Clint Dempsey to Everton this summer, although money could prove an obstacle again.

Moyes had scouted Dempsey extensively when he was at New England Revolution but did not have the funds to match Fulham’s £2million bid in January 2007.

Clint Dempsey and Everton may be a perfect fit. The American has had an outstanding season but potential moves to the likes of Arsenal may prove counterproductive as the 29 year old could struggle to secure regular first team football during what could well be his peak years.

Everton are always pushing towards the top six and David Moyes could well get the most out of the latter stages of Dempsey’s career. The Toffees could well do with alternative attacking options and such a move could well pave the way for a sustained push to bring Landon Donovan back to Goodison Park on a permanent basis.

Dempsey has scored 22 goals in 42 games in all competitions this season and has only one year left on his contract. An improved three-year deal has been on the table for some time but remains unsigned.

Landon Donovan

Previous Everton Loanee Landon Donovan has made himself open to another return to Everton in the future.

The United States international has previously finished his second short-term spell at Goodison Park. His Last game, an FA Cup fifth-round tie against Blackpool.

But he has enjoyed his time on Merseyside, admitting ‘there is something magical which captures you when you walk into Goodison’, and would consider coming back if asked by manager David Moyes.
In any case, Donovan has pledged to return to the club again whether as an active participant or just as an observer. There’s no doubt Moyes would love to have him back at the club, maybe even with on a more permanent deal.

Mohamed Diame – Wigan – Midfielder

David Moyes is ready to snap up Wigan’s Senegalese star Momo Diame on a free transfer in the summer. The midfielder’s contract is up with the Latics and he is open to offers.

Moyes is keen to bring the powerful French-born player into his squad but could face competition from Newcastle.

Diame has been on the fringes of Roberto ­Martinez’s this season but his strength and goal threat would be an asset at Goodison.

A look at this weekend’s Premier League matches as Manchester fights for the league title and London teams play for their Champions League futures.

Arsenal v Norwich

The chase for third place remains in Arsenal’s hands, but with Tottenham and Newcastle in close pursuit there is no room for error. Arsene Wenger’s team, without a win in three games, have laboured since Mikel Arteta’s injury removed the metronome which keeps everything ticking, and the responsibility to drag them over the line rests with a tired Robin van Persie. With Norwich having relaxed since securing a second season in the EPL, this is a good opportunity for the Gunners to grab a much needed victory.

Norwich have conceded 11 goals in their last three matches, including hat-tricks for Carlos Tevez and Luis Suarez. Van Persie will be hoping the Canaries defence continues to be accommodating. The Gunners are fortunate to close out the season with two imminently winnable games against teams without anything tangible to play for, but the spoiler factor should never be underestimated.

Prediction: Arsenal win

Newcastle v Man City

The sums are simple for Manchester City now: win their last two games and the title is all but guaranteed. It is a difficult assignment though, as Newcastle confirmed with their midweek victory at Chelsea. Of all the important games being played this weekend, this one might have the widest-reaching effects. Newcastle will need to pick up the points if they hope to lay claim to a Champions League place.

Manchester City did what they needed to do against their crosstown rivals on Monday, but with United facing a slightly less daunting end of the season schedule they’ll be able to take nothing for granted. On top of this, these are two very good teams that are generally quite enjoyable to watch. Both have incredible attacking talent with the likes of Papiss Cisse, Sergio Aguero, Demba Ba and Carlos Tevez. This is arguably the weekend’s biggest game, in any league.

Prediction: Draw

Aston Villa v Tottenham

This is a huge match for both clubs. An Aston Villa win in this match would all but guarantee their Premier League survival. However, Tottenham are well in the race for the Champions League places, Redknapp will be anxious to take third from their London rivals Arsenal, just in case Chelsea are successful in the Champions League final. Tottenham travel to Villa Park after back-to-back victories, while Mcleish’s side have failed to take 3 points from a Premier League game since November. Scott Parker’s return to fitness is a huge boost for Tottenham, having recovered from an ankle injury. He is expected to return to the starting line up in this fixture.

Prediction: Tottenham win

Bolton v West Brom

Roy Hodgson’s West Brom now have very little left to play for this season. However, this can’t be said for their opponents, Bolton. It’s been a very emotional season for Owen Coyle’s team, both on and off the pitch. For quite some time now, Bolton fans have been clinging to their side’s games in hand to give them hope for another season in the Premier League. The Wanderers caught up to the rest of the league in terms of games played on Wednesday, but faced a heavy 4-1 defeat to Tottenham. Bolton are even on points with 17^th place QPR, but they’ve got a serious mountain to climb in terms of goal difference. Hodgson’s appointment as the new England boss may prove a blessing in disguise for Bolton. A distracted West Brom side could prove ideal opposition.

Prediction: Bolton win

Fulham v Sunderland

Both Fulham and Sunderland will be looking for the three points that would virtually guarantee a top-10 finish but the form of these teams could not be more different. The hosts have taken 13 points from their last six Premier League games, including a first ever win at Anfield in midweek. By contrast, Martin O’Neill’s side have not had a victory since 24 March and are playing very much like a side with one eye on their summer holidays.

Prediction: Fulham win

QPR v Stoke

QPR’s fortunes took a turn for the worst last season as they suffered a 6-1 loss to London rivals Chelsea. However, luckily for Mark Hughes’ side, other results at the bottom of the table ensured they sit one place above the relegation zone with just two games left. With a very tough last game against current leaders Manchester City, QPR really need 3 points from this home match to achieve survival, beating a tired Stoke on Sunday could be sufficient to keep them up.

Prediction: QPR win

Wolves v Everton

These teams will be playing for different types of pride this weekend. Everton can open up a six-point gap over local rivals Liverpool, while Wolves – who are already relegated – can secure their first win under Terry Connor’s leadership. Connor will make a late decision on whether Matt Jarvis (groin) and Kevin Foley (hamstring) are fit to play. Moyes is hopeful Leighton Baines will return for the final game of 2011-12 but he will sit out this weekend’s match, along with Victor Anichebe, while Jack Rodwell is out until next season.

Prediction: Everton win

Manchester United v Swansea

United’s hope this season now heavily rely with Newcastle and QPR. A Newcastle victory against the current league leaders would put United back into the driving seat assuming Ferguson’s team can take 3 points from this fixture. Failing that, United need a huge number of goals in their remaining two games if they hope to win the title. Expect a high scoring match, as the hosts attempt to close the goal difference gap with City. Although Swansea have had an excellent season, their form has faded of late, with just a single victory for Brendan Rodger’s side.

Prediction: Manchester United win

Blackburn v Wigan

This is, undeniably, the last chance for Blackburn to save themselves from the drop. The Monday night shift has not generally proved popular with clubs or supporters this season, but neither Blackburn nor Wigan will be complaining this week. By kick-off at Ewood Park they will know the fortunes of Bolton, QPR and Aston Villa, and Wigan could need only a point to ensure they stay up. Whatever their rivals muster, Rovers – who are away at Chelsea on the final day – realistically must win this one, and hope that Wigan return to their meek early-season form rather than continue their recent heroics.

Prediction: Wigan win

Liverpool v Chelsea

Liverpool-Chelsea, twice in the space of three days. There’s no doubt the importance of this match is negligible compared to Saturday’s FA Cup Final. Liverpool have already secured a European place through their Carling Cup victory earlier in the season and of late their league form has been extremely poor, now they only have their own pride to play for. Chelsea, on the other hand, are still chasing Champions League football next season. If they fail to beat Bayern Munich in May’s final, then they have to ensure a fourth place league finish to ensure playing in the elite continental competition next season. Clearly, Di Matteo’s side still need as many league points as possible.

Prediction: Chelsea win

Arsenal v Chelsea

Manchester United v Everton

From Soccerlens.com - Football News

Merseyside rivals Liverpool and Everton go head-to-head on Saturday at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final, in a massively important match for both sides. Kenny Dalglish will be eager to replicate the team’s heroics in the Carling Cup and draw attention away from under-par league form, whilst David Moyes knows that he is 180 minutes away from lifting his first trophy for the Goodison Park club.

Liverpool ended a terrible run of six defeats from seven games with a 3-2 victory over Blackburn on Tuesday night, with Andy Carroll heading the injury-time winner. Despite inconsistency in the league this campaign, the Reds have been more determined in the cup competitions, and have eliminated both Manchester clubs and Chelsea from the FA or Carling Cup this term.

Triumph in the Carling Cup has only papered over the cracks of a mediocre campaign for the Anfield outfit, with director of football Damien Comolli given the axe earlier in the week. King Kenny is now under pressure to deliver, and with ambitious American owners eager for success, a defeat to bitter rivals Everton would put a question mark over the Scottish manager’s future. With Liverpool also behind their cross-town neighbours in the Premier League standings, Reds fans are becoming impatient and frustrated, with football transfer speculation predicting a summer upheaval at Anfield.

Everton meanwhile have had a strong second half of the season, and David Moyes’ men have looked like a dangerous and difficult opponent since the turn of the year. The Toffees are up to seventh place in the league, and have beaten the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham over the last three months. Comprehensive victories over Sunderland both in the league and the last round of the cup will see Everton enter the fixture with confidence. However two derby defeats to Liverpool this term will stick in the memory, and spur Moyes’ men on.

A clever January transfer window has been a key factor in the club’s rejuvenation, with the additions of Steven Pienaar, Darron Gibson, temporarily Landon Donovan and especially Nikica Jelavic adding quality to an already able squad. The Croatian striker in particular has impressed, and the travelling Goodison Park fans will pray the ex-Rangers forward can inspire his team to victory on Saturday. Everton have not lifted a trophy since winning the FA Cup back in 1995, with a solitary Paul Rideout goal ensuring a 1-0 win over Manchester United.

A number of factors will be important in deciding the outcome of the fixture, with key personal battles all over the pitch. With Pepe Reina and Doni both unavailable, Brad Jones will start in goal for Liverpool, with their opponents sure to test the inexperienced stopper early on. The clash between England colleagues Leighton Baines and Glen Johnson could also play a part in the result, as both full-backs play an important role going forward for their sides.

In any Merseyside derby there will be passion, and the midfield battle between Steven Gerrard, Jay Spearing, Darron Gibson and Marouane Felliani will dictate possession. Finally, Luis Suarez and Nikica Jelavic will look to build on promising individual campaigns, and pose the biggest threat to goal.

Liverpool v Everton, FA Sup Semifinal

Tottenham v Spurs, FA Cup Semifinal

From Soccerlens.com - Football News

Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final between Merseyside rivals Liverpool and Everton will contain a fascinating battle between two multi-talented midfields and the outcome is likely to rest on how well those players perform.

Castrol EDGE Performance data shows that Steven Gerrard has managed to find the net five times in his seventeen league appearances this season, resulting in an impressive chance conversion of 24% and a shooting accuracy of 57%.

His young teammate Jordan Henderson pales in comparison, having only netted once this season despite spending twice as much time on the pitch (2,258 minutes to Gerrard’s 1,127). However, Henderson does match Gerrard for pass completion (83%).

The man tasked with containing the Liverpool captain is Everton’s combative midfielder Marouane Fellaini. Despite committing 69 fouls and collecting 6 yellow cards this season, he is yet to receive a red card and has won an impressive 84% of his tackles.

Steven Pienaar has more goal assists to his name (4) than either of the Liverpool men (1), showing the playmaking prowess that made him such a hit at Goodison Park before his ill-feted move to Tottenham in January 2011.  His creativity is confirmed by the fact that he makes a chance every 42.6 minutes, which is more frequent than Steven Gerrard (43.3 minutes).

STEVEN GERRARD: MAKING THE MOST OF LIMITED TIME

Liverpool and Everton meet in the FA Cup on Saturday with Steven Gerrard’s spectacular hat-trick against the Toffees in March still fresh in the memory. Injuries have restricted Gerrard’s opportunities this season but Castrol EDGE Performance data shows how valuable he remains to a Liverpool side that have lacked penetration this season.

The extent to which Liverpool relies on Gerrard can be seen by the fact that he averages a touch every 1.03 minutes and a pass every 1.41 minutes in the Premiership this season.  These are more frequent than any other Liverpool player and they place him in the same bracket as David Silva and Luka Modric, two of the Premiership’s most celebrated playmakers this season.

Building on our previous post about the most efficient football clubs across Europe’s top four leagues this season, here we do an historical analysis of the Premier league and the best performing clubs in the last three years (2009/2010 to 2011/2012).

The chart below shows some fascinating visual data about Premier League teams in the last three years – from succintly pointing out Arsenal’s #1 issue to highlighting the massive statistical improvements United have made this season to why Liverpool and Wigan are at the wrong end of the tables.

Make sure you click on the image below to enlarge and view the full data, then share your thoughts in the comments below.

The most efficient Premier League clubs in the last three years

Talking Points:

• Wigan’s continued Premiership survival has been nothing short of miraculous given their tendency for wayward shooting and calamitous defending.
• Arsenal are below the average defensive efficiency line for all three years. Their 2012 team has the fifth worst defense overall in the last three years and the second worst this season, ahead of only Blackburn. Someone should show Wenger this chart before he buys any other players (if he buys them, that is).
• United’s ridiculous position at the top left for 2012 shows how they have made the most of their attacking chances and held their ground (despite that 1-6 scoreline) defensively as well. The only comparison – defensively – is City from 2011 and Villa from 2010.
• From the chart it would seem that United were the better team than Chelsea in 2010 – but that’s the nature of football, where it’s not just your overall numbers but your ability to win key games, which United failed to do that season.
• Liverpool have the second-worst attack this season behind Wigan, and the fourth-worst attack in the last three years. Only Wigan (twice) and Portsmouth have done worse. One of them was relegated and the other might join them this season. How soon before Liverpool sue Evra for costing them a Champions League place / financial losses?

Liverpool have declared their independence as a separate and sovereign nation, electing King Kenny as their first leader. Liverpool will also breakaway from the English Premier League with immediate effect to form their own Liverpool Premier League, where they, as the only members, will be guaranteed silverware each season.

Liverpool’s declaration of independence has come as a major surprise to rival clan Everton, whose fans are now deeply regretting their decision to oppose the board’s proposal to move to a stadium outside Liverpool a couple of years ago. As things stand, Liverpool are likely to refuse that Everton exist and simply play with themselves and call themselves the champions. As a Liverpool fan told us, ‘you’ll never wa*k alone’.

Liverpool FC have applied to UEFA to be included in the UEFA Champions League as their new nation’s champions. However, this looks to be in doubt as they are still involved in the Premier League this season and are currently behind Everton in the league table and could finish below their local rivals at the end of the season, meaning that Liverpool, long champions of their own home, would be second-bested by a team they’ve refused to acknowledge as a big club.

Yes, Everton could be champions of Liverpool, but King Kenny is hoping this new move will ensure that his team win all their remaining matches this season (as they’re playing only themselves) and Everton, being Everton, would drop points thus gifting Liverpool the first ever Liverpool Premier League title.

An as insider source exclusively revealed, Liverpool’s declaration of independence was prompted by genuine concerns at the board level that Everton would finish ahead of them in the Premier League, something that the USA-based owners, the kit sponsors and the kit manufacturers could not handle. Liverpool’s independence allows the club to win the league title each season and qualify for the Champions League each season, thus satisfying their fans but most importantly their owners and sponsors.

And as King Kenny was heard to say, “if we can win the title each season we might be able to overtake those Mancunian bastards after all”.

Our insider source also spoke about a potential points penalty being applied to Everton unless they a) moved out of Liverpool, b) refused to show up in the FA Cup semi-final and c) lost enough games to make it mathematically impossible for them to finish above Liverpool on points. Failure to comply, the source said, would lead to Liverpool employing the nuclear option – bar Everton from playing in the Liverpool Premier League.

This is a bold move by King Kenny – and one that is guaranteed to bring success to Liverpool. In fact, you could say that despite the lack of points this season, this really is Liverpool’s year.

Newly compiled data from Hotelclub has thrown up plenty of interesting conclusions regarding Britain’s greatest football derbies. The company, who help football fans find cheap hotels in Manchester for the Manchester derby, get people into accommodation for the Second City Derby and give Fulham fans somewhere to hide after another thrashing from Chelsea, have looked at the last 20 matches played in these massive fixtures, noting the number of goals scored, and runs of wins and losses along the way.

Here are the most interesting outcomes:

1. The Second City Derby has only been played 20 times since 1987

Given that Birmingham won the Carling Cup only a year ago, it feels like this derby should be more common than it has been. After all, under Alex McLeish (before he eventually got them relegated) Birmingham became something of a force; and under a number of managers since the departure of Martin O’Neill (McLeish included), Villa have become something of a farce.

To that end, you’d expect that the two had played each other, in cups or leagues, much more often than that. After all, the teams have mostly been kind of as good as each other. But before Birmingham entered the Premiership in 2002, the two hadn’t met since a second round League Cup match in 1993. And before 2002, the last league match between them had been in the Old Second Division, as long ago as 12 December 1987.

If Brum fail in their promotion bid this season, it might be a similar period before they play regularly again. But then, with Villa struggling too, who knows if they won’t meet, sooner or later, in the Championship?

2. Since Manicni took over at City, only one league game in the Manchester Derby has been decided by more than one goal

And it was Manchester City’s 6-1 win. Mancini has worked some magic at the Etihad, that’s for sure. You’ve got to wonder if next time, the margin will be as big.

Still, Fergie’s boys can take comfort in their 19 league titles and the fact that, even with Mancini at the helm of City, they’ve picked up more wins in all competitions.

3. Since 1974 Nottingham Forest only have one more win in the Nottingham Derby than their rivals

Notts Forest is one of English football’s big teams. Maybe not now, but Clough’s men were First Division winners in 1978, adding the European Cup in 1979 and again in 1980 ­– one of only seven teams to do so.

They might not be that team now but even so, it’d be expected that when it came to playing their rivals Notts County, the score over 20 games would be a bit less even than Forest 7 – 6 County.

Even more amazingly, Forest didn’t beat Notts County during their period of dominance. While they racked up a 4-0 win in the League Cup, the first game between them since they both re-entered went the way of County, with Notts Forest winning the following year, in 1982.

Of course, if you take a longer view, it’s even more surprising that Nott’s County – the world’s oldest club – have faded to obscurity.

4. Everton have not won two Merseyside derby games in a row in almost a decade

Which speaks as much to their decline as to Liverpool’s success, which has been mixed at best. They won the league twice in the ‘80s (only a few years before Liverpool won the most recent of their 18 titles) but since the inception of the Premier League in 1992, things haven’t gone quite so well.

In its first decade the club only finished in the top half twice. Since David Moyes took the helm, things have drastically improved; they finished 4th in 2005, and 6th in 2007, achieving 5th in the next two seasons. But in the last two years that’s slipped to 8th, and 7th last season. And with 12 games to go this season, they’re 13th.

So Liverpool remain the dominant team in the Merseyside Derby, even when Everton are doing well. Although with some turbulent seasons at Anfield in recent years, Liverpool aren’t faring much better…
