Lets get something straight- we were poor today, but Stoke are no mugs. They are difficult to beat at home and have some of the top teams scalps under their belt.
It just really makes me laugh how people react in such a knee jerk way over one result and performance- 'need to take stock, too negative etc etc' We have played some fantastic stuff in this 2nd half of the season and Im looking forward to a fully fit squad next season that will be a match for everyone.
File today under poor result, poor performance and move on.
Noone wants to criticise moyesy but it has not been for the first time. He has played players atimes who should be better on the bench and then had players on the bench who could have suited the style of play. He can be shocking atimes when we all expect genius stuff
Imagine if Man Utd are 3 points behind chelsea and come to stoke with A strong CB instead of an attacking fullback playing at RB,the only reason would be to win headers. Imagine Scholes playing in midfield,he wouldn't get his natural game right,referring to Osman here and Yobo earlier.
Distin,Jagielka,Yobo were all below below par and I can't find a reason for it but I know that we should have attacked more and should have made the spaces they made in the 2nd half. We didn't come all the way from germany like fulham via roads to look so tired.
Players have been dissapointing and look leased arsed,combine with Moyes' decison to leave yak,billy,rodders on the bench for Saha,Osman,Yobo just sums up my dissapointment.
It's about next season yes, but I don't wanna be too over confident and don't want anyone to be. Nomatter what you play in an everton jersey with pride or you stay back
