Boss touch giving Trent the match ball from Wednesday for his hatty of assits.

Great seeing him at the 18s game this morning too as he often is when time allows. Along with Ben Woodburn. The togetherness right through the club is as strong as its been in years.

An aside from that doing of Blackburn-

Bobby Duncans treble puts him level with Glatzel on 24 for the year. Both are gona’ end up with well over 30 goals a-piece at this rate. With both well into double figures in assists. Phenominal partnership.

Wont see the best of him for atleast 2 seasons. ACL is one of the hardest injuries to return from.

Definately not something I’d like to speculate on as every individual’s body is different.

Just brilliantly mad to see this rapid rate of progress.

Just the general consensus when it comes to these kinds of injuries. Its not the progress from the injury which is briliant from Alex but the player getting back to the same level as it takes a good year or two. Some players dont ever recover as its such a complicated injury. Hopefully the fans dont expect too much from Alex.

The physical recovery isn't actually that quick. Medical work has come one leaps and bounds. What takes much longer usually is match ability. Jury is very much still out.

As noted above, I wouldn’t like to speculate. By all accounts he’s lost none of his burst and speed, which is the main thing, and has returned to team training like he’s never been away.

But we’ll see where he’s at when the matches come around. The main aim was always for him to back for pre-season so the rapid progress to date is a major bonus.

The bold is always good to hear, but its the heavy lateral movement in football that will be a massive test, hopefully he passes it over the rest of the season

He needs to be given the rest of the season as a freebie, and not expected to be as good as he was before.
 
can they know that before hes in full training? hes only in 70% so far.. Nice to see hes on target for his return
 
Yeah, it doesn't matter if you're fit enough to run an ultramarathon, if you can't make quick turns and rapidly change direction. Blaszczykowski is one recent example. Monster of a player in that peak season when BVB made CL final. Relentless when defending, wicked shot with each foot, **** of a dribbler. Then he ****** his knee, out for 9 months, eventually recovered and kept playing for 6 more years but he was never the same. And by all accounts he's a consummate professionals who is always in top shape, but sometimes your body just can't do what you want it to do.

Remember Falcao came back from a nasty ACL and came to yous lot and wasn't the same player. Took him another year or two to get back to a decent level and even then he never got to the same levels as before.

He was so bad for us and Chelsea people genuinely thought he was done. Thankfully he's got much better buy as you say, still not quite his lethal best. But he's has some brutal knee injuries
 
And then conversly there’s guys like van Nistelrooy and Shearer who came back even stronger from similar horific ACL’s. Both out for a similar time frame as Alex IIRC before hitting the ground running straight back.

Every players bodies different. Pointless speculating until he’s out there playing games again.

Van Nistelrooy was out for the best part of 2 years. Which is literally our point.

You're the one who is going on about the brilliant recovery, everyone else is saying dial it back
 
Now that I’m somewhat dry again .....

Well that might well turn out to be another invaluable point toward the title. But we won’t know whether its a good point or bad until May 12.

Frustrating afternoon where we just weren’t quite on it all over the park. Controlled it sound for the most part and had more than enough excellent scoring opportunities. Just lads final touches/ decisions being off and balls not quite dropping. Frustrating and annoying as I always want to be beat Everton more than anyone. (‘Always the victims ..... ‘ From fellow Scousers. REALLY? Bitter ____houses.). But this season of all seasons they were gonna fight tooth and nail for everything.

On the plus side, that’s 5 clean-sheets again in a row. (17 and counting the league for Alisson.). Which is a super base the run-in and Europe before the attack inevitably starts to click again. And the single most important thing, when you aren’t on it and aren’t playing too well, don’t get beat. Take the point and move on to the gameplan for Burnley.

Let’s see how City cope with their away Derby in among a brutal looking end to April for them.

Frustrating to not beat the Ev. But quite calm and happy in the bigger picture.

A point behind with 9 to play. And only 2 of those against top 6 sides. Both at home? We’ve had FAR worse Sundays.

Up the down but nowhere near out Reds!
