Man that was nerve racking, a wins a win even if we weren't great. Highest point total in the PL and 4th from 12 points behind to 2 ahead, if ppl said we make 14 points up on Arsenal you'd of laughed. Well done Blues

Aside from that ONE run and cut back, Deulofeu was absolutely last today lad.

My guess is that Alonso will be having nightmares about Deulofeu tonight

Can't really argue with that, but are fans of other clubs any different?

Many clubs, true...You lot have had an impressive season though with great performances along the way, sometimes you have to scrape through for 3 pts...trust your coach and players

Ok battered is a bit strong

They defo had us hanging on though

True they put the pressure on us mainly down to our poor passing and it was a poor game from us but nevertheless chances were still rare for them. Hopefully we have the poor game behind us now and onwards and forwards we go.

mcgeady looked very good when he came on.

Hes due a start soon, hes been looking so sharp in his recent sub appearences

howard didn't have to make one save other than a comfortable one all game. didn't have a clean change apart from the baines back pass all game.

 

[Rook]

No, to be fair to him, he played a few very good crosses. It's not his fault that nobody was on the end of them.

He had a very good 2nd half. Yes he's selfish but he causes havoc as the match goes on as defenders get tired.

Coleman looked tired today. Didn't try to get forward and didn't really take on anyone today. Maybe by design?

 

[gianthogweed]

good result that after them getting humiliated at spurs Sunderland were always going to make it hard in front of their home fans.. lots of confidence in this Everton team couple of years ago we would of lost that and more to the fact we would not of even been in this position to be even playing for anything loving the mentality our manager has brought to this club long may it continue

 

[EFC Si]

That's the type of game champions win, we proved we're one of the best today. I personally think we'll go on and get 4th.

that was torture though, absolute torture. How some of you arl chaps handle that I will never know!

Massive result. Sunderland fighting desperately, you only have to see Cardiff winning at Southampton to see the realisation setting in at these clubs. An away win at this time of the season is priceless.

I was worried today when I realised our last 6 game winning streak was ended up in the North East so the omens were not vood. Great that a few key players got a rest too. Squad is so important.

 

[fozzy]

sign of a good side lads when you still get the result while not playing your best.

 

[technojoe]

The turn he made was sick. Plus he had the right idea with a couple flips to Lukaku, they just didn't work this time. Even Suarez misses sitters every now and then.

It was distribution that got ot me when we were up against it! but I guess everyone has off day! It gave me the fear though
