oh but we are still having are shaky moments at the back other than that we are looking good!

Unfortunately, that's becoming old hat.

Thanks for the welcome, I've been buried at work for the last couple of months, but keeping up with my Toffees is always a high priority.

I'm keeping tabs via ESPN Gamecast so no need to feel compelled but ESPN can only tell so much so any insight from a bluenose is always appreciated!!!!

What part of the Great State you hailing from? I grew up in Dallas and TxBill is down Houston-way.

we haven't been that shaky tonight. Speaking of that we nearly conceaded. Howard the hero

They smashed the post and then Tim makes a stunning save from the follow up.

But yeah, shocking marking. Benfica putting quality balls in from the wings at the moment.

baines howard is one more to add!

oh and there shot in the first 10 mins which should have been delt with by howard!

Sounds like Everton are looking for the HT whistle....

Very entertaining first half, and commentators really appreciate the Goodison athmosphere.

You really have to admire the speed Benfica has, all their midfielders and attackers go always full speed towards our goal when they get the ball, luckily we've escaped so far!

I'm also pretty happy for our performance, has to be said, it's been one of the best overall performances from Fellaini, very comfortable with ball (mostly). Gosling is trying hard, but he just isn't up to the standards, the end product is always poor.

Looking forward of second half, COYB!

 

[fozzy]

played well 1st half!

a couple of shakey bits at the back but looking ok just need to carry it on!

cahill should have scored!
