Yes I meant fixtures in our squad. The recent reports don’t seem very overwhelming to say the least. Can’t fathom Dowell out. One minute he’s a star the next he “ doesn’t seem interested”.
Its called being young and inexperienced. If he was still the same at 24 I'd agree with but I prefer not to write our youngsters off before they're out of nappies.
 

Dowell on the bench today.

Since Karanka has come in and he has been moved from being their #10 they've scored 3 goals in 10 games (and zero in 8 of them).
 
Championship
Barnsley - Joe Williams played full match in 2-0 away win over Birmingham City

OS Match Report
"After an opening five minutes where both sides looked to win the midfield battleground, it was the Reds who won out, with Gary Gardner and Joe Williams taking the game by the scruff of the neck, allowing Brad Potts to marauder forward at will."

Twitter stuff
Solid header from Williams but only for a corner to the hosts.
31 - Another yellow, this time for Craig Gardner who chops down Joe Williams as he breaks through the midfield.

Fan comments
"Williams brilliat aswell"
"Williams 8.5 - Best game for a long time. Back to something like his early season form, won loads of ball for us and won back a load too. All over the place."

Good link-up play between @moraisfilipe20 and @Antonee_Jedi down the left, but Angus Gunn gathers the latter's low cross with @A1F1E9 lurking. (58)
.@moraisfilipe20 plays the ball back to @Antonee_Jedi on the edge of the box who fires over. (60)

For Henry Onyekuru, this season’s loan from Everton to Anderlecht was the chance for him to get a work permit so he could finally play for the Toffees.

Not meeting the requirements to get the paperwork needed to ply his trade in England, the young winger was sent back to Belgium with hope he would consolidate his place in the Nigeria squad ahead of the World Cup, play most of their games and then get his work permit.

Unfortunately a severe knee injury appeared to cut his season short, although there has since been hope that he could return before the end of the campaign, at least on Everton’s side.

The premier league club believe he should be able to return within the next month or so, but Anderlecht, the ones in charge of giving him minutes, aren’t that optimistic.

In fact, DH in Belgium report the Jupiler Pro League side don’t think his knee will hold up when he returns, and there’s little chance of him coming back to the club next season, even if he doesn’t get a work permit.

That suggests they aren’t sure he’ll get back to his best, especially if he returns too quickly, which is what they feel Everton are trying to do.
It’s a tricky situation, but it’s a gamble the player is willing to take, such is his desire to feature in this summer’s World Cup and play for the Toffees next season.
 
Bundesliga
RB Leipzig - Ademola Lookman started in 1-2 home defeat to bottom-placed FC Köln and was substituted in the 59th minute

OS comments
"5th Minute, goal for RBL: Bruma heads down the left, his pass is fired at the right post by Lookman - Augustin sinks the rebound for his fifth goal of the season."
"39th Minute: the next bit of dream combination play! Lookman bursts forwards and takes Augustin with him, who allows the ball to roll through to Forsberg, although his placed 18-metre shot goes wide right."
"51st minute: RBL go on the attack again. Bruma and Forsberg combine before playing the ball to Lookman, although our Englishman waits too long to get his shot away."

Fans too busy fighting about manager, performance and selections to comment at any length on English loanee.

Sandro was not in matchday squad for Sevilla's game.

..all good and well Sandro saying he wants to stay at Sevilla but I can’t see them wanting to pay him £80k per week, even if the transfer fee is minimal.
 
Lookman starting for RB Leipzig.

And he's just set up a goal within 5 minutes
I posted a bit in his thread that I thought he had a solid if unspectacular game, made some good contributions from his runs and passes. It was interesting how many times he appeared in the middle to run with the ball or make a pass. They certainly didn’t improve when he went off at 1-0 up. On that performance he’s in a good position to be in a match day squads whether starting games or coming off the bench.
