It's so recent that "Silva out" is still painted on the walls of one of the streets only yards away from Goodison Park. But then things began to change.

Adama Traore was the sole bright spark, supplying all of Wolves' best moments in open play. According to media reports, Traore was sounded out over pursuing a career in the NFL while at Barcelona.

While most leagues in Europe hope to finish their domestic seasons once restrictions on movement and social contact are lifted, Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said last week the season could be lost if play does not start by the end of June. If we don't succeed in restarting, the season will probably be lost," the Slovenian said. He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica: "There is a plan A, B and C.
As a shorthand, you might call it "Cool Britannia" and, basically, what it did was offer a pretext for men and women all over the country - from Aberdeen to Stevenage - to wear football shirts as fashion items and swagger about like Liam Gallagher. Out of that heady mix was born the England team's official tournament song Three Lions, written and performed by Lightning Seeds frontman Ian Broudie together with comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner (for the unfamiliar, think of them as a pre-digital age Poet and Vuj).

Werder Bremen have an excellent record at Freiburg with a 7-2-2 record in the last 11 visits. However, I don't see them winning today. Werder Bremen have looked very poor in the Bundesliga in the last months with a 0-1-6 record in the last 7 matches. And in the last 4 away games they have conceded at least 2 goals.
The result was also positive for co-chairman David Sullivan and David Gold given the protest against them that took place before the game by thousands of Hammers fans, angry at the way the club is being run. Reaction to West Ham's win and follow Watford v Liverpool Bowen's bountyA lot of haggling took place before Bowen's January transfer deadline-day move from Hull finally went through.

Paper Round's view: This season has been a complete disaster for Arsenal. Aubameyang was only appointed as club captain last month and he already wants to move away.

As the holders, Liverpool would’ve been hoping to breeze through the groups, especially as they only just scraped through last season. Unfortunately, they’ve done no such thing. Thanks to a few lacklustre efforts, Jurgen Klopp’s men come into match-day six needing a point, which on the face of it, seems highly likely, but they’re away against a strong side, so a point isn’t guaranteed.
Crystal Palace have done well in recent matches against Burnley, but they head to this one as the underdogs. Burnley are on the rise and after the two big wins ahead of this game, they will be further motivated by the fact they are playing at home. Palace are winless in five matches, losing four and without a clean sheet away from home in six matches. Burnley on their side, have three wins in four at home and have improved defensively. This fixture doesn’t produce a lot of draws so we won’t bet on that. We will go for a Burnley win here.

That's how he is," Engelmark said. The coach first met Kulusevski in 2012 when he took over BP's youth team for boys born in 1999, and though the attacking midfielder was born a year later than most of his team mates, he still stood out. I had him until he moved to Italy (to Atalanta in 2016). He was a good dribbler, a good attacking player, but over the years he became better and better at learning the whole game," said Engelmark, who is now first-team assistant coach and technical director at BP.
MADRID, Feb 29 (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has said his side are in a delicate situation as they prepare to host arch-rivals Barcelona in a La Liga title showdown on Sunday amid a downward spiral of results which has left their season in limbo.

The performance wasn't there," said the club's chief football officer Zvonimir Boban, a former Milan player. It hurts a lot, it was embarrassing, this can't be Milan.
