That goal gave me chills <3

They're multiplying.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

I'm sorry but Rooney scored, nothing else. Was just as crap as the rest of them.

instinctive strikers run to get there for the header

 

[bluekangaroo]

That was a real bad first half.. thankful for a bit of magic from Rooney who was otherwise (like the rest of um!) anonymous. Jagielka needs to retire, don't tell me he's a starter for us this season. So bad it's unreal

 

[banno]

Wonderful goal.

We've been grim but I don't care so long as we win.

You are a poet.

 

[TheCount]

Stoke very solid and compact. Did well to stay patient and break them down. Same again second half.

 

[Librarian]

everything's ok

 

[Baines' left foot]

There won't be a dry eye in the house after that. Mark my words.

 

[banno]

He basically started the move also.

 

[cronullasharks]

Dunno what the hell this formation we're playing is. But welcome home Wayne

 

[gonetomorrow]

We'll be top of the league tonight (behind Burnley).

 

[hktoffee]

Rightfully so

We are lucky to go in 1-0 up.

Slow. Sloppy and hoof ball football.

Nobody running off the ball. Our passing has been between our back 3. It's clear Jagielka has no left foot and it's embarrassing to watch.

If we come out in this 2nd half with that same formation, I'd be amazed and worried.

Can luck gave you a goal? It was a good move.

If we won 1-0 everytime what's the problem? Although, yes we lack creativity.

Just win Everton.

 

[Rook]

To go with him being very short and having unproportionally short legs for his body - he's a walking animated character.

he's like totally ripped and fat at the same time

He had two, maybe three dodgy passes.
Rest of it was decent.
You're seeing what you want to see. And it's not the reality.
