Everton 1-2 Birmingham City

[ijjysmith]

Upsettingly [Poor language removed] first half there.

Only Everton make me feel like this. I was chuffed to pieces this morning, my fave ever transfer rumour (huntelaar?! yeah right we'd be lucky to get stephen hunt!) and Mikky back in the squad. Brilliant.

Now, gutted.

is it just me or do they play the left side of the pitch 80% of the time?

Classic Jekyll and Hyde Everton

 

[zimblue]

to be fair they have scored 2 great goals.

 

[Namdrater]

Passing and crossing has been disgraceful. Pienaar needs to be on the wing, bring on Arteta!

 

[devonblue]

anyone remember my rest some thread the players need resting and it shows another big game on wednesday just hope moyes doesn't risk arteta for too long

 

[jonuk]

Don't think we'll see Arteta until at least 70 mins passed - he can't be fully fit.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Ossie if anyone for Bily

 

[Roger That Johnson]

Class goal from barry that though i thought you could have done better on a few ocasions.

 

[faddy the blue]

Bring Arteta on for Cahill now! Take Billy off and bring on Vaughan

 

[Neiler]

There not oletting our creative players play - simple as really, we need to be more of a threat through the centre and people need to take on men. Passing and moving is alowing to fill gaps. Two up front occupy their centre halfs and let Pienaar and Billy get in between the two banks.

Everything I feared has happened in that half, they kept hitting us on the break, we kept battering away, they are happy and we look second class. Mo and the Pieman have been doing their normal spade work but both Cahill and Saha have been invisible up front. Moyse will have to throw cups at half time if we are to turn this one around.

As for the crowd, I suspect they have been more than a tad meltish today, rather than moan like mad get behind the lads, they start cheering them on they play better.

As for Brum, you get what you expect, they are doing the job, too many of ours are playing below par

Based on what I've just seen we will need a miracle to pull this one back, Brum can be and are at times thugs in defence..............fair play to them

 

[Blue Truth]

Vaughan on Saha off.

We havnt looked like scoring so we need a change.

 

[timmy17]

relax these are [Poor language removed]..2 chances 2 goals..we've dominated..i expect a a 4 goal second half 4-2

 

[Dylan]

NO!!! We bring Arteta on now we will be taking him off in 20 minutes. He will best be used late in the game when his relative fitness is less apparent to the tired legs already out there.
