Not bad. Bit lazy in parts.

Howard - Solid

Heitinga - Needs to be more focused
Yobo & Distin - See Heitinga
Baines - Solid and attacked well.

Osman - Off the pace, one good cross, but that is all he has done.
Fellaini - Quality again. His touch and awareness and his ability to control the ball in the middle is why we paid money for his services
Rodwell - Needs to focus more
Cahill - Should have had 2 goals
Pienaar - Slow start but Tricky Trev getting into the game

Saha - World Class.
 
******* great goal from Saha, he is such quality! Although Heitinga got that assist, I think hes been absolutely POOR at right back. I havent seen him win ONE challenge - I'm not going to judge him, hopefully its just been a bad day. Bring on Hibbert (y)

Not sure about that, he's been getting rid of possesion too quickly for sure, bit of hoofball (probably been told to). But I think he's looked very strong in the tackle, gone in hard and won plenty.

Not looked too hot going forward but.... well, let's just say if he had Pienaar in front of him he might look a different player.

Our right backs always seem poor, and i think it's down to one thing. Osman. He plays on the right but doesn't help out at the back very often, unlike Pienaar and Baines. Heitinga could do with some help from Pienaar if we bring Billy on, and i think he has won a few challenges.
 
Just think his distribution and tackling is better. Heitinga just looks sloppy today. Prob still adjusting like. Its just they're prob only gonna score if we switch off at the back.
 
He gave the cross to Fellaini who almost scored. The cross was a bit too soft though as fell couldn't really put enough power on the ball.

The difference between the left and right wing is quite obvious. Pienaar, baines and fellaini playing good with eachother. The right side ... nothing to see!

And dunno, heitinga isn't playing that bad. Only his second game as RB for everton.
