Everton 2-1 Wigan. Boxing Day @ 15.00.

Everyone knew how important a three points that was. Such a relief at the final whistle. The sh*te being behind just amplifies it. If they fail to win, the gap'll be opened nicely so we can focus on 4th without a perilous drop below us. 6th at worst for a few weeks at least. Also important because the way we're set to line up against Chelsea may mean it will be a long hard 90 mins.

We could have done with battering them today - purely for the goal difference; there's gonna be Us, The ****e, Spuds and The Arse all going for 4th, and maybe even West Brom if they can somehow carry on this form throughout the season. 4/5 teams going for one place - it could definitely come down to goal difference - unless Arsenal decide to win the Champions League.

LOL

No, we didn't.

1. Howard
2. Neville
3. Jagielka
4. Distin
5. Baines
6. Hitz/Oviedo
7. Gibson/Heitinga

7 then. Still not acceptable against Wigan at home.

I called this as soon as I realised he'd be suspended - I said the points would flow without him. Forced to be less one dimensional....

we were without our 2 best players, coleman and gibbo after 1/2 time so 4 key players our im happy with the 3 points hopefully we scrape a draw/win against chelski gonna be tough with our players missing

Baines is one of the best attacking players I've ever seen at Everton. I don't think Gibson, Hitz or Oviedo are that defensive either, to be honest.

Maybe he'll come back as a defensive midfielder again?

Think we have done well without our key players and think weve pulled out of the rough patch now since we have won 2 games with not many offensive players and a out of form striker. The goals will come with felli and mirallas back and jelavic starts firing . Plus we have the transfer window approuching

 

[Allezfan]

We've scored in 20 of our 21 games this season.

I don't think any other team in the prem can say as much. Our problem isn't that we're not creating or scoring it's that we can't keep clean sheets.

Don't suppose for one minute this makes Felli a **** player does it?
