CONFIRMED: Landon is watching - http://twitter.com/#!/landondonovan/status/16951019250388992

Did he see Coleman's 'assist' for Cahill's goal? And he doesn't need £250K pw to do it.

Belt up will yer.

lol cheers xD

 

[Brownie]

Why are we holding back here? That City defence is like a ******* sieve.

This could be 3 or 4 nil if we cut loose.

Take it you're jokin dave

It's far from job done lids. If we keep sitting back we will let them into the game. Their defence is shocking, we should be running at them whenever possible.

 

[RFUS]

Somehow... Baines just got even better. A right footed curler... Amazing. I just want to bum him senseless.


Come on, lids. Don't sit back so much. Try and get the third... we can actually smash 'em.

lol cheers xD

Its ok mate. He says that to everyone.

In all fairness - I'm not sure it's LD who's asking for that. I think it's the MLS.

Could be wrong like, but that's my interpretation of it.

 

[toffeebhoy]

at the end of the day no one can be unhappy one bit bout the SCORELINE at h/t callin for the head of our gaffer now is ridiculous

 

[Tubey]

We can't sit back like that for the 2nd half, they will get back in it if we do.

I'd bet you anything I can reasonably afford that we will.

Or, more specifically, we'll keep shape until the 60th minute then go "back to wall" and "Moyes" it till the 90th minute, hanging on desperately to a 2-2 draw at best.

I'll quote this after 90 minutes whether I'm right or wrong!

Joking?!

Are you watching these clowns Kompany and Toure? They look like academy players. We can run riot here if we stop camping on the edge of our own box and get Baines and Coleman moving forward again.

All in here.

MOYLES IN!!

 

[kenada_blue]

I cannot BELIEVE some on here are saying Moyes out when our lads are scrapping on the pitch and are 2 up at Zillion Dollar City.

*facepalms*

Im not wanting him out...but you've got to judge the whole picture rather than the highlights. This is a highlight - losing to WBA 4-1 is the flip side to the coin.

Anyway...back on game...

Back to the stern looking Everton. He's put disaplined players on the pitch and they're doing their jobs to the letter.

We've had to shots and scored twice. In other games that's not the case. The 2nd goal was something Barca would be proud of.

But make no mistake, we are seriously under the cosh. We're too narrow in defence when they pile the pressure on...there's plenty of space out wide for them to hit which Im sure they'll use in the 2nd half. So far, its worked...but barely.

Vic's doing well on his todd up front...but he's doing what I think are other strikers can/could do.

Its smash and grab. And we've smashed em in the 1st 20minutes. Its time for Moyes to hopefully have something up his sleeve cos Citeh will hit us with every trick in the book....and if Johnson comes on against a tired Ossie and Baines....

Its not over.

What's with the fuggin' negativity?

I'd have settled for 0-0 at half time, before the start of the game, never mind 2 fuggin' nil! COYB!

balotelli is a [Poor language removed], end of

This^^. Shame the ref missed his challenge on Jagielka where his boots hit Jags in the ribs.
