    Managers have very little influence on match results, often none at all. It's the players who do.

    You've already jinxed those tips by even attempting to forecast the results of eight matches. You'd be lucky to get five right. Leeds and Burnley supporters are looking at each other, not us, and anyway, we only have to finish above one of them, not both.

    Relax, matty. We're OK.

    Leeds and Burnley have a tougher set of fixtures than us and one more win will probably be enough for Everton. It should be this match and probably will be and remember, we only have to finish above one of them.

    I thought we had a deal that involved James going in part exchange but that he wouldn't go. Edit. How much would he have cost without James?

    How close were we to getting Luis Diaz? Or were we?

    Yes, that's why I won't be panicking if we lose at Leicester. Burnley might lose their last three - can't see them getting anything at Spurs or Villa and if Newcastle beat them, or even draw one win might be enough.

    Only a lousy tenner?

    I'm talking about his football, nothing else. He's very slow, but his ball skills made up for that.

    So, do you think that given a reasonable average number of games this season the combined number of goals from DCL and Sigurdsson would've had us much higher up the table than we are?

    Sigurdsson has scored a lot of goals for Everton - 13 in one season - and they weren't all pens. He scored 6 last season and Gray is second with 5 behind Richie's 8 so far this season.

    A lot here were saying some of our players didn't look interested a few weeks ago and had no pride in the shirt. They couldn't fault the effort now and there's a real sense of urgency in the team now. We saw that at the pit and v Chelsea and I expect the same from now on.

    The stand out reasons we find ourselves in this situation are DCL's long term injuries, and something that hasn't been talked about, we've missed Sigurdsson's goals.

    That was raised by a co-commentator during a match a few years ago and he said it wasn't Gary Steven's fault.
