Match Thread Ebepton v Woolwich - Tuesday 13th 19:45

[Ollie d]

I hope we come out with the same fire in the second half

The half-time heroin we usually seem to take will put paid to that idea..

 

[Bungle]

So after that excitable 20 minutes are we all agreed that we'll concede 2 minutes into the second half? This is what Everton have done to me.

Been a long time since we passed the ball around mate, been hoof, hoof of late.

This. Nice to see those crossfield balls from Jags again.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Getting my breath back now. What a great time to score. Not going to watch the half time discussion on BT, Michael 'state-bleedin-obvious' Owen does my head in. If it wasn't for Glenn Hoddle I'd have sound off during the match too!

 

[Tin-Tin]

Barkley has been excellent after a stuttering start. So easy for him to hide when the fans groan but he has been excellent since we upoed the tempo and aggression.

 

[Jags..class]

Sorry but before they scored it was archetypal Koeman this season. He didn't do anything to change things after the goal, it was the crowd. Don't start crediting him for what we've seen since.

The challenge is getting these players to be physical. Martinez didn't believe in aggression, pressing and hoofing. He created a team of weak players who didn't like it up them and were unfit.

 

[Prevenger17]

Lennon has been good too, fair play to him

 

[Rook]

Ozil looks drunk

 

[Steve0]

If the crowd stay like this for the next half and next game well get 6 points. Both teams will crumble.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

What´s up with Goitre boy Ozil?

Last season someone shouted from the Upper Gwladys: "his eyes are offside, his eyes are offside...Mesut Ozil, his eyes are offside!"

Yep, a couple of direct runs from Lennon, fans get up for it, players react.

 

[Fansince1988]

Slow down. To much headless stuff out there to be sure of anything. Williams having a nightmare. Jagielka not much better. Barkley making costly mistakes . Its far from being a good Everton. At least they try

At this stage they are rattled but I'm not saying this is a won game by any means, if we let the pressure drop they win.

 

[Jags..class]

Hmm maybe barry should stay on the bench for a few games as he to slow to play this kind of game.

 

[Joey66]

Need to go on and win this!

 

[ianefc]

Amazing what difference a bit of actual effort makes eh?

Delighted with the fans for inspiring it, but it's shouldn't be rocket science for professional footballers.

That's a touch disingenuous. The fans haven't had a meeting in a big room prior to the game and said 'from 20 mins we cheer'

They've responded to what they've seen.
