FC Everton v VFL Wolfsburg

[ijjysmith]

We just battered a pretty good team without even playing well.

Imagine if we'd have been arsed to get out of 2nd gear!

....great start to a really tough group. They will win more games than they lose, wasn't their night but I always felt we could step up. McCarthy tremendous. Goal difference could be a factor.

Cant arf finish kev though

I love how he looked at the keeper, thought about the glitzy finish, then just went "nah sod it" and rolled it open goal near post.

When we gave 100% we dominated them imo

Once we dropped to 60-70% we were always going to invite pressure

Good win, No injuries, Is right

BBC stats show they had 27 shots to our 13. That's too many for my liking.

 

[toffeejack]

if any man deserved a goal tbf

...at the right end obviously

The more I think about it, the more I like the McGeady sigining: he allows us to put Kev on the left, where he is genuinely dangerous.

Hard to choose between Tim, Baines, McCarthy and Kev for motm.

Allez allez allez oh

I don't think it was flattering at all, we played a counter attacking game and implemented that plan perfectly, very good and mature performance! Tactically brilliant, we picked them of on the break!

That said the pen and Mirallas goal were fortuitous, the pen was outside the box, the Mirallas goal was offside for my money!

If we hadn't of scored so early it would have been a different game! But we executed the game plan very very well!

Job done, and done well.
Great that we can score 4 while being outplayed for periods of the match. This result will turn a lot of heads tonight.

 

[Howards tipple]

Good result. Top of the league!!

 

[KevMirallas]

Boss that. Wolfsburg were very good, but Stones FFS. What a man.

I want us to violate this tournament within an inch of its life, and tonight was a great start.

Don't worry about it.

We won. Be happy.

LOVED LOVED LOVED THAT!!!! How long have we waited, how much have we suffered, how often have we been shafted? WE ARE EVERTON and we deserved that.

Been waiting to see a boss EFC team in Europe since 1986 - THIS is just the start for me...
