EPL 9/2/2008 - Everton vs Reading

You can now rule Everton out of the running for the fourth Champions League slot as they are facing a crisis ahead of this live commentary and play by play English Premier League soccer match between themselves Everton and Reading. Everton star striker Ayegbeni Yakubu and the only one who knows how to put the ball in the net at the moment for the team, reported back to the club late after his African Nations Cup exploits and manager David Moyes has decided to fine him, drop him and punish him. In fact, David Moyes is prepared to sell him as he demands total respect and dedication to the team and feels that Yakubu is a threat to the unity and team spirit that he has built so carefully in the club. The problem for Everton and Moyes is that no one else at the club knows how to score. Andrew Johnson is fast and speedy and that's about it. He does not know how to score and you can see now his time at Crystal Palace was a flash in the pan. Your team can be as solid and hard to break down as much as you want, but if you cannot score, you won't get many points and one goal against you can do enough damage every game.

Reading are facing similar problems but at the other end of the goal. They simply do not know how to stop conceding goals and that could be a disaster in this live commentary and TV telecast soccer game against Everton because it would mean they might concede a few goals to an impotent team like Everton. That is utter humiliation and Reading is desperate to avoid it. However, as witnessed in earlier live commentary and radio broadcast EPL soccer matches, Reading do not seem to learn from their mistakes and continue to leak goals at the wrong times, dropping many points due to this. Manager Steve Coppell is not helped by a few players going to the African Nations Cup for Cameroon and also a lengthening injury list. It all seems just a jinxed season for Reading and it might need a miracle now for them to avoid relegation.

Despite their scoring woes, Everton are a defensively sound team and they should take all three points in this live commentary and radio broadcast English Premier League soccer match against Premiership rivals Reading. However, do not totally discount Reading for going down without a fight. They can likely create an upset in this live commentary and TV telecast EPL match, but it is just as unlikely and unless Steve Coppell can pull something out of his hat, be prepared for an easy two or three goal win for Everton, all coming from their defenders of course. Andrew Johnson might be humiliated after this soccer match.
