Victor Anichebe

How the hell is he on a lucrative deal at Everton where the wages could of been spent on keeping Pienaar?

He's one hell of a pathetic excuse for a footballer.

He should retire immediatly!

He was boss at the back end of last season, but that was out wide.

He's been woeful up front, and today's 'performance' was the worst I've seen from an Everton player in a long time.

i dont think pienaar would hav stayed regardless and i certainly wouldnt have liked to giv him over the top wages but VIC is jsut crap he was alawys a trier with strength on his side and honestly he never excited me as like he has some

but i hav to blame DM for consistently picking him as a STARTING 11 player ?????????????

i cant see him getting into any other prem side as a starter

Some choose to take their anger out on BK (rightfully so), some Moyes (less rightfully) ... for now I choose Anichebe. He was atrocious. I said before the game I thought Hibbert had more chance of scoring than Vic and Vic did nothing to prove me wrong. I watched him (as I was annoyed he started over Beckford) and he did almost NOTHING right the entire game. Couldn't hold up the ball, every pass went astray, his runs were bad ... he was pitiful. The only good thing he did was that one run forward around 57min of the second half, and even then he lost the ball and had to take a dive (although there was some contact he did flop to get the call) to keep from losing the ball yet again. Dreadful. He should never put on the shirt again.

I still think 0-2 is a poor result v. Bolton even with 10 men ... but make no mistake we were playing with 10 men.

He fell over quite brilliantly at times. He also waved his arms about like a duck protecting it's chicks. Someone should tell him he has to run towards the round thing sometimes, and try to kick it when possible.

We had few other options though, mate.

He should never had played Anichebe on his own, but perhaps a 4-4-2 with Beckford.

But look... Yak's on loan, as is Vaughan, and Saha's injured. That's the board's fault for not giving Moyes any money, and Moyes' fault for sending out Yak. We all knew we were short on options when the window ended. We needed a striker when it opened, but we didn't get one, and we loaned out 2. This was inevitable.

TBF his arm waving is prem class, although his falling over is primary class. Overall he is $hite.....

Easily one of the worst performances I have ever seen in a Blue shirt. And even after everything he did (or did not do today), his sulking the last 5 minutes before he was taken off really does it for me. It's one thing to have a bad outing, but to stop hustling and not even attempting to makes plays is the worst thing you can do for me.

Anichebi is a championship player at best, utter garbage, but the management has to take some responsibility for allowing Yak and James Vaughan to go out on loan, I couldnt understand Yak going when I thought he was starting to look good again.

Tex · February 13, 2011

Anichebe is NOT a Premier League striker at all. He should go play in the Championship then he might score. All he has going for him is his strength and that could be questioned at times.

Why Moyes started him instead of Beckford I cant understand.... Oh well pointless complaining about it :-(

There was times when he was walking about just looking around instead of tracking back im so angry right now the whole team was poor today but he was another level of crap

Maverick · February 13, 2011

For someone as big and strong as Victor is, it shouldn't take a light breeze to knock him over
