Free header from 4 yds out with no goalie in goal? How was that harder than yaks?

For some of us football is life, yea we have other things in our lifes, family, work. But for some Everton is very much part of this. Im thinking you treat football as a hobby, which is fine, but never under-estimate other ppls feelings towards football.
I support my team, i buy a season ticket, i try to follow them away, but its a dear do these days and cash isnt flowing freely, i buy 2 tops a year. I invest in the team and every match they get 100% support.
When we lose i get down, when we win im happy, if we lose and play well im fairly happy, cos we tried and was just unlucky, but yestersdays game hurt. Sometimes last season in a few games, a few ppl didnt turn up, but yesterday half the team didnt turn up, the subs bench was a joke. Moyes was so pissed off and everybody at the game who watched him must be worried.
I recall watching Euro2004, watching Rooney destroy the whole of Europe and being so scared that he would be snapped up, i recall the pain when he left. I recall the 95 Cup final, the drive down, the game, the goal, the drive home, playing All together now all the way home, 4 fecking hours, but being so happy.
Things have been worse before, things have been good, we have just come off a wonderful season, long run in UEFA, Semi of Carling, 5th in the league, 5th best team in the best league in the world. It was so good to be a blue.
But since the end of the season nothing good has happened, all i see are dark clouds, kill me, kill me now...................

My Nan could have scored Yaks goal and she prbs would have put away the 1st header he had as well. Baxters was difficult, he was stretching and had a very hard angle. Half chance at best, the lad did good, lets not expect too much.

Apart from the last part I'd say yes. Good midfielders make themselves available to receive a pass from the defense. They are also capable of spreading the play to the wingers (Arteta, Pienaar) in a manner where they don't have to beat about three players every time.

apparently carsley was a good midfielder, we still played the long ball game with him in the middle

He was useful at what he did. He was also pretty limited. Of course there are much better players to play that role, but not in Everton at the moment. He was no playmaker, though.

He wasn't though, anyone who understands football would realise this. He did a job but he also limited our game.
If we buy two centre midfielders who look for the ball our football will improve will improve dramtically. It'll never fully stop the hoofing as we have Neville in the side but it'll definatly make us more fluent.

yep , agree we were unlucky to lose (even though we were poor and blackburn deserved there win) , and with a fit team we would have snatched it.
(i think baxters miss was the golden moment.)
but i think its also fair to say that with even 1 quality signings in the summer , we would have conceded less , would have scored more , played better , won the game , the fans would be happy , the players would be happy , and we would have momentum and 3 points on the board.
ps , talking of us being unlucky with injuries , imo only cahill and pienaar would make much of a difference in quality of the 11 players on the pitch.
the rest coming back just means we wont have kids on the bench.
I just hope we get enough decent players in or fit so the Rodwell and Baxter don't become regular starters. I think from the bit we have seen of them they both have genuine potential, however, nothing is worse for a youngster's development than playing week in week out in a mediocre team. Playing the odd 15 minutes here and there in a decent team is the way I would hope it goes for both of them.
I have no idea what is going on at Goodison at the moment and I'll admit things look pretty bleak, one thing I would say though is that is not half as "disappointing" as the Walter Smith era.
I never like to get on the back of an Everton player but I must say that I really don't know what David Moyes sees in Phil Neville he is clearly only a limited utility squad player.

Could be worse, Britain could be ahead of Australia in the medal table. Arf arf.

Woah woah woah.
This was an insightful and genuinley ace thread until...well until someone had to just go and ruin it!
And furthermore...Ive just got off the phone with my senior researcher and he has these startling figures.
Cou.....Pop......Med....ratio
China - 1.2bn - 35G - 1 in 34,000,000
USA - 300m - 19G - 1 in 15,000,000
GBR - 60m - 11G - 1 in 5,900,000

And if you divide by the annexing of any other nations and times by the length of the countries civilized occupation...
As you can see who should really be on top of the table. Punching above her weight, and the true sporting Herclules of the world.

You should have been round in the 70's and early 80's..its little wonder ive got no hair left nowadays
Does everton and indeed football mean as much to me as it did then? no if i'm honest more imporant stuff in life to worry about but i still care deeply about the club and frankly i dont think or want that feeling to ever go away so when i see the non happenings that have plagued the club this summer it gets me a little worked up we have a good manager and maybe on the cusp of moving onto brighter and bigger things if he was given proper backing by the board and to see it being wasted by off field hoohaas is discouraging to say the least
