Sunderland 1-0 Everton. 20th Apr @ 15.00.

They just didn't battle hard as Sunderland. That's all Sunderland have. If we cant match that commitment then it doesn't matter if we have a few superior players in our team.

It's exactly what happens when we play City but the other way around.

No passion, no commitment, no European football.

Nah, let's call a spade a spade. Crap team selection, awful match management, no tactical nous, no idea how to impose a game plan on a team who want to play us high up the pitch.

We all saw the warning signs before the game with that selection, and it played out like it has on oh so many occasions before.

The team selection wasn't too bad until you get to the end of the game. Plenty of under par performances from players we'd all be happy to see on the team sheet. I accept that hoofing isn't the answer and very rarely is it and I can't understand his lack of desire to change things. I want to see the manager hedge his bets rather than recoil into his shell as much as anyone, but it was so poor from those on the pitch as well. Moyes isn't entirely culpable, although his inability to act decisively has cost us.

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

Disgraceful performance. Dowd is a massive bint, but we were sheer and utter weapons today.

Not on.

I hope someone runs him over in the carpark. The gimp.

 

[Tubey]

First time we have lost in how many? just saying like.

It doesn't matter if you cock it up whenever it actually counts. See Wigan for details; does it matter we won the games in the earlier rounds?

 

[LTblue]

That = The Wigan game in the disappointment stakes for me. We turn up with a non performance when we needed a decent performance at least. Don't blame Moyes, I blame those players who just didn't turn up, Pienaar is total dirge and has been for weeks.

Anybody know why Fellaini didn't enter their box ALL game apart from for set pieces? Moyes tactic? Even when we were having long throws and pushing last fifteen minutes he had no intention of getting into the box.

Moyes cost us that, and Europe this season. He can't motivate his team to win the big games.

It's been a long time coming but finally we can say our season is over. Absolutely ****e Everton.

Roll on the summer with a new manager and hopefully a clear out of these gutless players we have.

Pienaar, Heitinga, Neville, Osman, Jelavic, Naismith and even Fellaini can go.

To me Moyes dropped his own tactical bollock again.

The big thing was dropping Barkley for Osman. Fine. But surely that reverts Fellaini back up top and Osman in the middle.

It didnt and it looked disjointed. Then Gibson goes off and you have and Fellaini/Osman midfield which I don't think we've ever played or at least see it work.

And dont start with the subs.

 

[bluebottle]

And Goodbye Moyes, Felli, Baines,Heitinga,Victor, Coleman and Duffy will put transfer requests in.

That's ridiculous on such a scale to even suggest, you don't deserve control of a brain.

 

[SchoolOfScience]

Same old same old. Nothing will change until we have a change in ownership and maybe, maybe in manager. Moyes is the absolute best for a board of directors who put in 0 but I don't think he has that extra fire that wins you trophies.

I expected to get beaten today, and honestly couldn't care less who finishes higher out of us and the s**te.
I wanted champions league. We failed. As we always fail.

I agree with this, it doesn't really matter, our sights are higher than the 6th place trophy and our season has completely ended after today

 

[andy4efc]

As bad as we were, their chances came from individial errors, first minute from Heitinga, the goal from Baines and from soft free kicks. They were ****e, we were '****er'

 

[ijjysmith]

Words fail me for how bad that was. **** off moyes. **** off fellaini. **** off everyone because NOONE showed an ounce of desire today. **** OFF FOR **** SAKE **** **** **** **** WANK ****

Hi Gary.

 

[electricblue]

He does some f*cking daft things. Really daft things. Unfortunately it costs us in the end.

Bit harsh on Baines that mate.

Moyes can only get his team to play when we're the underdog.

It is why he'll sign another 5 years in the summer. Because no club will want him.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Moyes biggest flaws:

1. The ability to make players perform under pressure
2. Making subs

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Fu***ng get Mourihno in!!!

 

[SpeedEFC]

**** off Everton, build us up just to knock us down, more fool us I suppose for falling for it. One of these days I'm going to learn that hope and Everton don't mix
