MOTM vs Newcastle

[NeoNaoNeo]

Can't believe 5 people voted for Fellaini, that would mean we have 5 deaf-dumb and blind Evertonians on the forum?

Not that I'm complaining like, I'm all for the diversity.

Voted for Rodwell.

 

[TX Bill]

1) Lescott
2) Rodwell
3) Castillo

Leave Fellaini alone you monsters.

Fair play to him for making himself available. Good attribute in a player that.

I just wish he could use that determination to make himself run faster. But physics doesn't work that way, which is a shame tbh.

Still doesn't look at all fit to me. Was a waste of a sub, Moyes has gotta know his players better than that. Thought VDM would've made a good substitute late on, but because we had to bring Saha on there was no room.

 

[Neiler]

He looked well hacked of at the referee!

Thats not his game though mate. People will think I am making excuses but its not. He looks slowler than he is because of his stature.

I personally think he will be a massively important player for us. Moyes clearly thinks so and I am not going to doubt him.

So whats the record for Yellow cards in a season? Ive heard around 14...is that true? Because Fellaini will easily reach that if he plays the next few games!

I guess he doesn't just look slow to me because of his pace either, he seems to think slowly when picking a pass or going for a tackle, which is usually why he gets booked for the niggly late tackles. (and sometimes absolutely needless fouls)

I think he's good don't get me wrong, but I can't believe people think he was man of the match. He was dire in a poor side today.

OK, shoot me if you want but I voted for Neville. I thought that he tried to drive the team on today, despite our difficulty in breaking down a stubborn 'castle defence.

I'd love to use the excuse of a host of players not on the pitch, but we should have been able to turn dominance into chances, and chances into goals.

Newcastle were luck today, with so many players coming back, and clearly not on the ball, the loss of a man was more of a hindrance to us than a benefit.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

He seems to go into a little rant every game after getting penalised at some point.

Sometimes its justified, like today. What did he do when he got booked today? Was hard to see in the pub. He then got penalised twice when it seemed 50/50 and possibly him being fouled.

But then he does make some ridiculous attempts at tackling and his ranting cant help referees when decinding to book him.

 

[NeoNaoNeo]

What did he do when he got booked today? .

Got into an argument with Butt. Was jogging next to him and started barging and pushing and stuff.

Least I think that was when he got booked.

Neville had a very good match today.

Yeah i think that was it. Certainly didn't seem like he done anything worthy of being booked yet Butt didn't.

Just a little bit of petty handbags and shouting, no worse than goes on all over the pitch most games.

Hopefully be able to see it on MOTD2 in a bit.

He was great today, just behind Rodders for me.

Saha, Yobo, Lescott and Rodwell played well. I thought Baines was pretty good tracking back but his crosses missed the mark. That being said for as much as we had the ball there was never anyone in the box.

Castillo lacks the creativity of Arteta but makes up for it by not having the intellegence of Carsley.

Fellani was pants for the first 15-20min but got a bit better as the match went on.

Jo tired out. He drifts too far outside the box and tried to hard to set up other teammates. That would have been OK if Cahill was on the side but he wasn't.

Jags isn't much of a RB but I think his throw ins are much more threatening than Neville's.
