Everton are a good team, they move the ball so quickly and we had to be concentrated to make sure we didn’t leave them much space. And Ranieri insists his players need to stick to what has got them this far if they are to remain successful.
Marquez, 24, has been accused of conspiring with Farook to provide material support to terrorists in 2011 and 2012, making a false statement in connection with the acquisition of firearms, and immigration fraud, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday.

He acknowledged that Marquez cooperated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation shortly after the killings, but not before he had driven to Los Angeles County and checked himself into Harbor UCLA Medical Center, claiming suicidal impulses.
Marquez, who had been working at a bar and a Walmart, had shuffled into court wearing a white jumpsuit, his legs and arms shackled.
“At this point the defendant has not yet rebutted the presumption that he is a danger to the community”, Bristow said.
There have been conflicting reports over Marquez’ purchase of two assault rifles and if he sold or gave them to Syed Farook at least two years earlier.
But the judge found that Marquez didn’t pose a flight risk because he has spent his life in Southern California, has no criminal history and his family was willing to put up $100,000 in equity on their home for bail.
Marquez and Farook planned to bomb the cafeteria or library at Riverside Community College and stage a “rush hour” attack on the 91 freeway, a major route used to service the greater Los Angeles area, according to the 36-page criminal complaint.
His next court appearance is scheduled January 4, for a preliminary hearing in the case. “He did the San Bernardino shooting”, Marquez said. They had made plans to launch deadly attacks in 2011 and 2012 to carry out attacks on college which they had attended and on a busy freeway of California.
While the conspiracy charge doesn’t specifically accuse Marquez of having any advanced knowledge of the San Bernardino plot, FBI investigators said he and Farook did acquire the firearms with the intent of carrying out some type of violent attack – which they allegedly began discussing in 2011. FBI Director James Comey said the couple had been “radicalized” long before the shooting, even prior to being married. That’s a reference to the leader of Islamic State, authorities said.
