Everton 1-2 Birmingham City

[TheDevils2001]

Distin is sort of below average today, not really compose may be we could do with Duffy or Coleman coming on for Distin.

We need a second striker so, it would probably be Vaughan on for Billy.

If we still can't get through, we could bring Arteta on in the last 15 mins to see if he could make something happen.

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

YES and we are playing 100% [Poor language removed]

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

You lads are well organised and hard to break down but you will see a different everton in the 2nd half.
We cannot play that poor for another 45 minutes, i reckon we will get a draw today

 

[Blue Truth]

Distin completely [Poor language removed] aswell.

 

[teppic]

We can easily get back in this game.

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.

This. I don't know what's the point of Neville crossing it in with 4 defenders and 2 blue shirts. It's not gonna do any good. Like you said,pass it,make space,wrong foot their defenders and then play the killer ball in. distin for god's sake learn a few things from Jags or you'll be out very soon when he comes back!

I only got my feed with 5 min left in the half. Did Burm have lots of scoring chances or did they pretty much score on all of them?

 

[ForeverEverton]

Have we had any attempts on target yet???????

They have had 2 or 3 chances and thats it.
We have just been poor especially in their half

 

[SBEFC1912]

Neville is as bad as Hibbert at crossing

 

[RNG]

Birmingham is well organized at the back, but we just need more width, more speed, and more ball movement.

Like, for example, the last two weeks...

 

[faddy the blue]

Distin will have nightmares about that 2nd goal. He was outclassed

 

[TheDevils2001]

Let's get back to the basic and find our first goal, then we could work on the second one.

Looks like Birmingham is going to play defensive counter attack football, so we going to need another striker to break them down, so Vaughan would be coming on in the second half.

Baines had a nice run on the ball in the box, but i couldnt tell if he was go for goal or trying to cross it. either way it was a poorly hit ball...
