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

hibberts was not match fit , dont know why he was on the bench .

 

[Coach]

I am as fed up as the rest of you but I do think that Norwich deserve some credit today. They worked extremely hard to close us down knowing we had no out ball up the pitch and it paid off for them. They are not a bad side. Don't forget they beat Man Utd last week and Ferguson said they deserved it.

Still should have won though.

pienaar has been shocking , so has jelavic . but who can we put it ??

Barkley mate, even get Vellios on as he'd do more than Jelavic at the moment.

 

[Rosstralia]

Not IMO mate. We continue to kid ourselves on that front.

We dont have the resources to get in amongst that lot, despite 2005. We will never challenge for top 4 without tens of millions in team investment.

That's the thing though, we absolutely do have the squad to challenge this year. We dominate games for 85 minutes and then **** ourselves. If we had those last five minutes in us we'd be up in 3rd, 2nd even.

 

[Tubey]

Do you know, being honest, it hurts doubly today as deep down I know that this result pretty much guarantees that this is the last season we'll see Fellaini in an Everton shirt...

 

[toffeejack]

So for Arsenal

Howard
Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines
Mirallas Gibson Fellaini Oviedo
Barkley
Vellios

Sound

Mucha in goal, howard has been our worse player this season. Given got dropped for villa and guzan has taken his chance, why should howard be immune from the same treatment?

 

[ToffeeBlueNose]

I'd give duffy a go but not sure i'd start vellios i think i'd stick it out with jelavic as even off form he's more likely to score than vellios. RB proving to be a problem position still, what's that 4 or 5 seasons we've needed a RB and still don't have one. not good.

Have you seen Mucha? We'd be better off playing a traffic cone in goal.

 

[hktoffee]

I think the most annoying thing is that we tend to lose points/gave away win not until 90 mins.

 

[ToffeeBlueNose]

I do agree Jelavic isn't playing well but let's be honest he isn't getting any decent through balls off anybody at the minute.

 

[Cotto]

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.

Coleman needed dropping without the injury. He cost us against Reading and Fulham. 5 points

Still should have won though.

Every single week the excuse is, 'credit to .... though, they attacked us and scored'

 

[harryjam]

The thing that hurts the most about it is when you see Jelavic and how he plays, just like he isn't even arsed. Some heads need smashing there with some tactical nous.

Moyes : "I never thought we would have won it comfortably"

Well jesus moyes you didnt help yourself pal.

 

[chicoazul]

That last goal bites. Moyes going on about how Ruddy didn't get a chance because of the form of Howard. Ruddy makes some good saves and Howard can't detach himself from his f*cking goal line again as we concede a goal from a set piece.

You f*cking idiots. You sh*thouse idiots. All taking a very nice drink out of Everton.
