Neville and Coleman are getting destroyed. Some great play from Mod and Fart.

My cousins kid calls him that too, he's 7 and thinks it's hilarious :pac:.

Actual free kick this time meaning he won't score.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

This ref is getting paid...

Why is there a phone number over the Sky Sports logo? It's been on there for weeks.

PHB

Great game. I think Everton are about to start finding a serious run of form.

That's probably your sky card number, it's a new thing Sky are doing to counter piracy etc.

Good one...
Oh Crouch!

Good first half performance we really needed to be going in ahead as Moyes will have them chomping at the bit for the second half

I presume for the likes of streaming etc?

Which I presume it would be easy to hide it in any case.

Was once in a pub which will remain nameless that had a sticker of a pint glass on the tv :pac:

Think we need to bring Hudd on for Palacios. Dont like it when our def mid is on a yellow, esp in a close game.

Hudd isn't on the bench today more likely Jenas but ya he has to be subbed before going off

That_Guy

Thank fcuk it's half time. I feel the scuts coming. Fcuk you alcohol, fcuk you.

everdead.ie

Sandro coming on Gomes giving him instructions:pac:

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Wilson off for Sandro...

That_Guy

Should've been 2-1. Coleman looking a bit dodgy at the moment. Can't handle players running at him.

That_Guy

Everton not looking too good as a unit right now. Spurs really turning the screw.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

We need another striker. Pav on, VdV drop into midf and take your pick of Lennon or Bale to come off.

everdead.ie

Lennon off Pav on

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Lennon off for Pav.

VDV's reaction kinda reminded me of:

He'll never learn..

He kicked an advertising board like that once before and when the adrenaline wore off he ended up being rested for a cup game with a bruised toe.

That_Guy

Unlucky.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Pav should've passed...:mad:

everdead.ie

Class from Modric just kept going

Diabhal Beag

You know a match is dull when you are more interested in hearing about That_Guy's scuts :pac:

Jax Teller

i dont mean to tell harry how do his job but why is gareth bale out on the right ? His confidence has got to be sky high after the inter game , stick him out left and let him run at tony hibbert

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

FFS Rafa, should really have passed that...

Diabhal Beag

Not a fan of Sandro

I thought Sandro did really well when he came on

Jagielka was imperious today. MOTM for me.

Agreed. Absolutely outstanding.

Columbia

Draw is just about fair, both teams had their periods throughout the game.

Howard throws away another two points though, great 'keeper but I don't think he's ever going to cut these quite regular mistakes out of his game.

But I'd have taken it this morning, no question.

Shanotheslayer

Definitely would of taken a point out of this game before it starts.

Jags, what a player, outstanding today.

If it's anything like last weeks performance you'll stuff us.

But this neither the time nor the thread for this discussion.

Everton match ratings from myself:

Howard - 5 - Horrible blunder that cost us 2 points. Otherwise solid.
Baines - 7 - Excellent from the set piece but also got stuck in, didn't hide and was part of a formidable back four. Also helped out in some of our best forward play.
Jagielka - 8 - My MOTM. Absolutely imperious and showed his class from start to finish today.
Distin - 6 - Doesn't inspire great confidence but was more or less solid apart from a few shaky moments. Needs to realize that he's not a footballer and just clearer his lines more.
Neville - 5 - Tackled well but distribution was atrocious. A few silly fouls as well. I think he missed Arteta today.
Coleman - 5 - Was a bit out of his depth today. Good experience for him though.
Pienaar - 6 - First game back from injury, wasn't too bad but went hiding at times.
Heitinga - 6 - CM is not his best position but he done okay by enlarge. Needs to be moved back to CB as soon as possible.
Bilyaletdinov - 5- Good on the ball but didn't work particularly hard.
Cahill - 6 - Fed off scraps up front but won his fair share of headers in our own penalty area. Shame the delivery up the other end wasn't of any use to him today.
Yakubu - 7 - Held the ball up superbly at times, ran out of steam the second half.

Overall I'm happy enough with a draw. I think Arteta was a massive miss for us though. He should be back for the Stoke game next week thankfully. Howard's got to have a long hard think about what happened today. That's the second time this season he's fluffed something under no pressure at all. Our defence looks good with the exception of Distin. Why Moyes persists with him is a mystery to me.

^ Very generous with Bilys rating. Thought he was shocking and he could actually have worn his jersey on the bus journey home cus there was definately no sweat on it. Time to move on in Jan me thinks.
