Match Thread West Brom vs Everton. Mon, 28 Sep, 20:00 The Hawthorns, West Bromwich

What got me was when they announced 5 mins injury time, there was nary a peep from the home fans

If we were a goal down at Goodison and saw we had 5 minutes to score, I'd expect a reaction of some kind from the crowd

Weird

From the highlights, it looks like Howard got caught in two minds about coming out to get the ball for the first goal? If he had committed I think he could have prevented it.

Fantastic cross for the first goal!

Please mate, don't link The Sun in future.

All the goals are available on the Everton homepage.

Sorry - i didn't realise it was. Was the only link I found that worked and showed all the goals. The news this morning just had Lukaku's two but I wanted to make sure my eyes had not deceived me and Kone really had scored!

Lesson leant.

Things are looking good, tremendous comeback against a Pulis team, I expected the bus to get thoroughly parked after their 2nd but the goal right back was vital. Galloway was MOM for me, the kid has been superb all season!

Yes - but Stoke hadn't been a regular top flight side for ages, Crystal Palace were not going to stay up before he went there, and despite today West Brom look a lot more capable than they have done since they loaned Lukaku. When you add to that the rest of his record (almost getting Gillingham to the championship, getting Plymouth to mid-table in the championship) it is amazing he hasn't been offered a job at a bigger club - certainly he is better than the last two or three Villa managers, any Newcastle manager since Robson, and everyone at S'land since Reid.

Next stop Anfield then - oh sorry you said a bigger club!

The fact that we came back to win from being 2 down shouldn't be underestimated. That's the 2nd time this season we've done that away from home (Barnsley). That kind of comeback breeds massive confidence.

...Mark Lawrenson predicts 2-0 for the Baggies, Kelly Jones (Stereophonics) says 2-1. Not sure what to make of that.

Does anyone reckon that Lawrenson might actually feel a complete and utter dope after last nights result ?
Having asked that, the longer he continues to talk drivel the more embarrassing he becomes to the cult.

fantastic,wish every game was like that!great to be there,and fantastic support from the blues yet again!"he's magic......you know"!!!

i'd rather we had them all sewn up before half time .... but that's not everton. plus that's not as exciting i suppose. would add a couple of years to the ticker mind.

 

[toffeejack]

Yeah, different game and atmosphere second half, was nervous when they got a corner right at the end though. I heard his interview and thought it was v fair and honest.

Funnily enough only my second away this season, other one was Barnsley so I'm getting loads of goals for my money!
Silly how they penned us in and made you walk all the way around to get away - but I didn't really care at the time haha

hey mate, do you want to trade souls, i've been to 3 games this summer and they've all been 0-0.

 

[sd_1992]

Going to be depressing when the team news comes out and it is 3 holding midfielders against the RS and del on the bench.

 

[MikeH72]

I got trampled in the aftermath of the 3rd goal. Boss. Scenes and limbs

 

[jackyboy]

Haha, same old same old

Good bench that.

 

[Lionel Naismith]

That took a good 5 years off my life expectancy. Worth every year my unborn child will be without me though.

 

[sportbillyblue]

brilliant support ... congrats to those who made the trip. Liked the Galloway song too.

great result but did it have to be that difficult against a very average 'Brom ? Why it took us > 30 mins to get Del in the game beggars belief, we kept on drifting to the left where neither Barkley or Naismith seemed like they wanted to play in the wide position.

If we're going to realise our potential we need to move the ball forward through the midfield more quickly .... incisive, forward passing. Though saying that how many breakaways did we mess up ?

Del made the difference ... when used.

BBC Radio 5 live's Steve Claridge at the Hawthorns: "Everton looked far more comfortable when they threw the shackles off and went for it. Going 2-0 down was the best thing that could happen to them."

......we've been saying this for ages.
