Best performance by an opposition player vs Everton

[Liam-EFC]

Juan Roman Riquelme for Villarrael in the 2005 champions league qualifier stands out for me.

Denis Mortimer early 80s in a 1-3 win for them. Applauded off at half-time and full-time. Wiped the floor with us.

Efan Ekoku, people have already beaten me to it.

Sebastian Frey at Goodison in the Uefa Cup for Fiorentina. he kept that score at 2-0 and got them to pens and through the tie that night.

he still let arteta score from 40 yards though, it was profligate striking from what I remember? Everything hit him because it was aimed straight at him

Juan Sebastian Veron. He seemingly had one blinder in English football and it was against us.

Also I remember Gordon Strachan not breaking a stride when a wayward pass to him went behind him and he backhealed it over his head and back into his run to the stadium all applauding. Just a particularly vivid memory of an opponent's skill.

There's been quite a few.

A magnificent footballer who was easily one of the best midfielders in the world, yet stick him in the premier league and he transformed into absolute dog dirt.

Dennis Bergkamp, was at the 7-0 thumping, he was on another planet

These examples are a lot more rare. I mentioned one last night v Chelsea in 95 (we drew 3-3) and Gullit hardly moved from the centre circle, never lost the ball, never broke a sweat, always looked in control with time on the ball.

Gullit was so far ahead of everyone else in that game, that he ran it 3 nonths before he even signed for Chelsea.

My biggest memory of that game was Paul Furlong scoring 1 of the most blatantly offside goals ive ever seen.

If only we had VAR in the 90s.

It still would’ve been given.

 

[jackyboy]

Di Maria for Benfica. Genuinely never thought we'd see Coleman again after that night.

 

[Gilbert..]

Stuart Slater West Ham FA Cup QF 1990/91

I was there. I think it was his one and only performance of his career.

 

[Everton1654]

Eden Hazard when we got beat 0-5 in Contes first season at Chelsea

 

[Everton1654]

Honourable mention to Chris Waddle for Bradford when they knocked us out the cup at Goodison in 97 or 98

I can think of a few aswell.

Dread to think how many will sit down with their Grandkids.
Now let me tell you about my greatest game. We were playing Everton.....

I can guarantee that if you ask people to list Liverpool born captains who have won the European Cup, very few would include him.

Bradley Allen hat trick for QPR at Goodison early 90s still haunts me. Don’t think he ever did anything else after that.
