Everton v Sunderland. Boxing Day @ 15.00.

[Efcjake]

That was 10 v 12 today with no bit of luck going our way. The footy we were playing in the second half was pretty good for being a man down and Barkley was fantastic. The ref was a joke today though, the pen decision was right but everything else was robbery.

This was the first time that those "fk up" at the back caused us a goal. I have a bad day because of Osman and Howard.

 

[The Equaliser]

Sh*t happens. Good effort in the 2nd half to turn it around.

Missed the game lads. I'm just reading the reaction here. What did Osman do exactly?

Miss handled the ball like a 10 year old girl, right in front of goal after a pass from Timmy.

Nailed on RS win tonight lads

THIS IS EVERTON

he miscontrolled a ball from howard, he is facing howard so he is expecting the ball, the ball gets trapped under his foot he loses control of it, Ki comes in from behind and pokes it away causing osman to fall over like ****ing bambi on ice, ki then strolls towards howard and can either shoot but instead opts to kick the ball to his left and take it round howard. Howard has no option but to then try and get down as quick as possible to get to the ball but misses completely like a spazmatron and take Ki's trailing leg away. Should have just let Ki go round him but no he has to take him out causing the ref to give a pen and boom a red card no suprise.

Man city lost to these with 11 men, lets not get too disappointed like...

Missed the game lads. I'm just reading the reaction here. What did Osman do exactly?

basic pass out from the back from Howard, the CB's split and osman came and collected pass, either tried to control it or to pass it back but had an awful touch and the ball squirted out, ki came up from behind him got the ball, one on one with howard. went round howard, who got minimal contact on ki who was always looking for the pen and red card.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Jelavic is about as uncoordinated as it gets

I tought Jela looked sharp today. I want him to start before Lukaku against southampton. Come on, im awaiting the slaughter.

 

[Big Doug]

Bullsh** non-call on the handball.

This game is on Osman. I don't blame RM, he made the logical choice given the fixture congestion to play Ossy. Managers manage, players have to play and not make mistakes. Osman made a fatal mistake. Timmy paid for it.

Missed Opportunity, Let's move on. COYB

Of course its Martinez's fault he picked the useless [Poor language removed] ahead of a lad full of energy and confidence playing great at the moment all the fans see osmans ****e starting a match so why cant the manager?

 

[banno]

If Osman hadn't messed up with the pass we would of probably won comfortably. But he did. Great hindsight by lots of people.

Lukaku looks to be our main concern at the moment.

 

[Tree13]

effing relax. How do you know they weren't knackered? Christ, we dominated them in the second half with 10 men. Nothing would go in, it was just one of those days. Osman ****ed up, it cost us dearly, move on.

What game were you watching? We had more ball, but they were happy to park the bus and let us take long-range shots (Barkley, Lukaku, Coleman and Oviedo all multiple attempts from outside the box) in order to hit us on the break with our fullbacks in advanced positions. We did not dominate anything apart from the possession stats and the long-range shot tally.

We did not have anyone who looked capable of taking on a man and beating him, and that's what we've needed since Deulofeu's injury. We STILL don't have anyone who can pick out a defence-splitting pass.

Howard passed it to him on the edge of the ox, he didn't control it. Ki picked it up and rounded the keeper, Howard fouled him. Straight red, scored the peno.

 

[BlueToff]

Howard wasn't to blame for that. A slow start and then Osman's cock-up has done us in. We need to come out strong against Sotton on Sunday. Baines should start if fit and push Oviedo up, with Barkley playing deeper and Pienaar in the hole (or vice-versa). Gonna be a tough few games but if we can get the six points we're still right in the mix.

Either Newcastle or Arsenal will both drop points whatever, same with Chelsea and the ****e. Title talk was always pushing it, but we could still be up there after xmas and we've got as much chance of top 4 as anybody else.

We played well 2nd half but big players like Pienaar, Mirallas and Barry have let us down today.

 

[Zorse]

let's see what he has to say in the post-match interview hey
