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

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Non-biased match ratings:

Stekelenburg - 7 - Couldn't do anything about their goal but solid apart from that.
Coleman - 9 - Get in, where've you been lad? Brilliant header, solid defending, excellent passion. Keep it up!
Williams - 9 - An even better header, tight at the back and wild celebrations after his winner.
Jagielka - 6 - An OK performance, but a silly red card and I don't think he'll be missed on Monday.
Baines - 8 - Ahh, glimpses of the old Leighton making a comeback? Great cross on his right for Seamus and a good all-round performance.
Gueye - 9 - Exceptional performance, have run out of superlatives to describe him. He is unreal.
McCarthy - 9 - Dunno wtf happened but he was terrific from first until last. Boundless energy, plenty of aggression, good passing, great James!
Barkley - 8 - Much, much, much, MUCH better by Ross. He should have done so much better at the end when through on goal but a v good game.
Valencia - 8 - Very impressive and I think he deserves to start against the RS. Great in the air, plenty of running, never gave up, excellent.
Lennon - 6 - Did ok, but nothing too good or bad either way. I would start Mirallas against the RS instead of him.
Lukaku - 8 - Brilliant performance by the lone striker, he's (hopefully) coming back into some form just in time ...

Only 6 for Lennon is genuinely disgusting

You should be ashamed

We are better without Barry.

Wenger says we should have points deducted for being too physical , and bullying has no place in the PL . Won't let his team play against the " Naughty Boys" again

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I'm glad for young Calvert-Lewin's sake that his missed clearance didn't end up in a goal, young lad would've been crucified. He has Bainesy to thank for that one!

 

[Abraders]

Absolutely gassed.

We bossed it. Almost all game, it was all everton. get in blues.

...I thought Lukaku actually won lots of those out balls tonight. I wouldn't criticise anybody involved in that display.

Rom was fine

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Been a while since I enjoyed an Everton performance.... So much better tonight..... Same again next Monday, no excuses

 

[Frank Gallagher]

[TrixyStevens]

Are you home or away for Liverpool?

I will be in Ireland for it, unfortunately.

The game changed when GP found their voice.
And GP found their voice, about 25 mins in, after a mid field scuffle for the ball saw three great tackles won by committed players.
After that, it was all over. When Evertonians get behind a team that's playing for them proudly, we're a massive force

 

[Abraders]

We are better without Barry.

Barry been awful for some weeks now. his influence is a myth.

said we are a disease

We're like Gonorrhea

 

[Norwegian Cow]

ranieri looks like robin williams

We are better without Barry.

Going to be an interesting one that mate, you would have thought the thinking behind fully resting Barry was with the Derby in mind.

 

[BlueToff]

And the best thing about it mate that when they showed the replay it wasn't even a corner, should have been an Arsenal goal - kick.

That was from the free-kick that led to the initial corner in fairness (the one from which Cech saved Jags' shot)
