He did. Had the first half and didn't really stand out. Nothing particularly bad and nothing particularly good.
Jelavic on the other hand looked good. The first goal was a technically beautiful header, excellent execution. The second goal was a bit scrappy, but he showed composure to bury the second effort under a lot of pressure. Hopefully the sign of a return to form. It looked like the style of attack suited Jelavic much better than last year's did.

True.
That thronker of a volley against the bar was tasty though, unlucky with the rebound.
The word is..the club are trying to move the lad out of the club. If they get the right money offered he will be sold.
IMHO, this one is on Bob not the board. How you feel now? Me, I think we should keep him for another season.

I had a dream last night that Jelavic scored a couple against Norwich in the opening match.
But I realised he'd taken two touches for the second, which was the tell that it was a dream.
Shame, because we were playing some brilliant stuff and I was having a whale of a time.

Brilliant!
I think I'd rather mine came true. I reckon you probably would, too.

hmm, possibly not, sportspersons, pregnant women, kids and women on their menses are often exempted.
I'd love to believe otherwise but I think he's going to be average at best.

I personally didnt think we got the ball to Kone enough in the first half, thats why he never stood out.

Sell and buy a consistent striker
German outfit Hamburg have revealed that they will not be able to finance a deal for Everton's Nikica Jelavic.
The Bundesliga club have been strongly linked with a move for the Croatia international, who joined Everton in January 2012 from Rangers.
Jelavic, who has three years left on his current deal, scored seven times for Everton last season but it is not yet known whether he will be first choice under new Toffees chief Roberto Martinez, who has signed Arouna Kone from his former club Wigan.
Despite an interest in the player, Hamburg insist that a deal is not on the cards.
"It is still a fact we first have to sell a couple of players before we can dig into buying any new," Hamburger general manager Oliver Kreuzer is quoted by Bild.
"And as far as I am concerned we will be unable to finance a deal with Everton FC for him [Jelavic]."

Anikonavić if we play a front three.
I bet if Anikonavić played for some popular European club the ****e would be prepared to pay 25m for him, despite the fact he isn't even real.
The best thing about Jelavics goal wasnt the fact he scored it was how he scored- one touch on a ball that was behind him. How many times did he do that season before last.
Definitely hope we keep him- would hate to see him doing that for another club.
