Everton v Norwich City. Sat 24th Nov @ 15.00.

Just don't know how he keeps Hitzlsperger and Naismith on the pitch for 90 minutes when they just don't have the fitness yet. Welcome back Ross.

This is crazy. Niasmith one time sat behind Oviedo instead of going towards the goal, leaving him 1 on 4. Embarassing, and should have been pulled then.

I find it hard to believe Moyes didn't see that coming, he's too cautious and until he realises that it's not the ****ing 90s anymore Everton are going to do **** all. It's not even like he didn't have options either, Barkley and Vellios are easily capable of doing a job as subs.

It was never on though realistically. That still doesn't excuse performances like that 2nd half one though. It's like watching boiled shite.

Thats the thing man it really was,certainly up to this point we had the team to still be with west brom/chelsea and it feels like we have just wasted that opportunity. At everton we don't get many chances to be up there due to finances so when we are up there and we let it slip by....its a crying shame.

Absolutely ****ing speechless!

Pienaar & Jelavic need dropping ASAP

Both must feel untouchable, They don't need to play well to keep hold of there place

Bet Steve Round does the post-match press conference...

Special mention to Piennar. Absoluely **** today and lost every ball. Barkley should be coming on to replace him.

It's a shame the main feeling I associate with Everton is disappointment.

 

[toffeejack]

also i'd start oviedo over pienaar if mirallas is fit for arsenal. needs to know he's not been good enough lately. vellios should have been on for jelavic for the last 15 mins as well, he was very poor today sadly

I somewhat agree, but we played like stars in the first half, then move pienaar over to LM and then it's all boring boring boring and predictable. Oviedo played well for 30 minutes, only reason we even drew. I think it's clear that Gibson is crucial, and Jags can only hoof the ball when Felli is there. Coleman needs to grow into the position, and that really made us one-dimensional today. No attacking from the right, with Jags and Oviedo, burying the most creative player from the first half in front of a guy who doesn't know how to play creative football.

Yes, exactly.

Of course, it doesn't help when the feller's getting slaughtered by the footy cognoscenti. and having his confidence shattered.

I do hope that lot are reflecting on their wisdom today.

furious here....just see the game out ffs

He's this guy, reincarnated.

I feel sorry for Bainsey. Sometimes I feel like he's to only bloke who ****ing cares. Three centre backs on the pitch and we can't defend a free kick from half way.

But beyond that, the decision was obviously made at half time that we don't need anymore goals, which is we'd launch timid attacks and get noone forward until we eventually passed it backwards and hoofed it to nobody. Whoever keeps making that call can **** right off, and I know damn well who it is. It cost us two against Fulham and it's cost us two again here.

I cannot for the life of me why we decide to completely change out play as soon as we get on top. A team like City, or even ****ing West Brom at the moment, would have put their feet on Norwich's throats and smacked four past them. And yes, poor finishing robbed us of that again, but more importantly it was the mentality.

We're not playing to win at the moment, we're playing not to lose. And it's just abysmal. Bring on 7th place.

Piennar needs to be dropped!

Don't blame back 5

Second half Norwich dominated the game and had the clear cut chances. They deserved their point.

I'm putting the blame on a weak midfield performance in the second half. Pienaar and Osman were anonymous there was nothing between the back four and Naismith & Jelavic for 45mins of the game.

Hitzlsperger and Osman second half were done like kippers. The goal was coming....But what options did Moyes have on the bench. Very little to "sure" things up.

I don't buy the bad referee comments. We should be dominating Morwich from start to finish they were the better side second half.

Only positive is that wasn't our best side. Mirallas, Fellaini & Gibson are key player to a top 4 finish.

Unfortunately injuries mean mediocre players have to come in and that's what we are. A mid table team with the team sheet today.

We aint City with Balottelli an Dzeko on the bench.

Our first 11 is capable of top 4. Not our squad.

sad times when our main striker is off the ball and our only available option is vellios injuries FFS
