Silva is long past his best now too, a shadow of the player he used to be for them.
A decent manager would play him centrally in the Number 10 role and put players around him that ensure he doesn't need to drop deep or wide. Plenty left in him yet and we'll see it next season.

There is still a half decent player in him somewhere, but to get the best out of him will require setting up the team to accommodate him, and probably sacrifice other players playing in their best roles.

That's Bournemouth safe. Very impressive work from Eddie Howe once again this season.

Outstanding season from bournemouth. Relegation candidates in august by the so called soccer pundits but have proved them all wrong by securing premier league football for a second season.

Diego Costa's pushing at the margins again at Goodison, I see.

True . Didn't they lose their 5 best players in the opening 3 weeks of the season as well ?

All to serious long term injuries as well, Eddie Howe and his staff deserve all the plaudits that will inevitably be coming their way, they have done a fantastic send a remarkable job.

Out of favour - and has been for a fair few weeks. Good footballer, inexperienced defender.

Yep, aside from man U and Chelsea they have been the disappointment of the season imo

Diego Costa's pushing at the margins again at Goodison, I see.
Type of player most would love in their team though (bar August-Dec this year )

Between this and Thurs night, I honestly think leicester's apparently horrible last 3 matches are potentially far easier than plenty are making out. they could win all 3 tbh

Gary Cahill is an absolute liability. Chelsea are going to be goosed without terry

Game over now and probably Chelsea's season unless they are keen on chasing a Europa league spot
