It's infuriating how Neville continuously gets picked.

We're the first team to cross the 100 shots mark in the league after today. We're on 102 overall. That's an average of 20 shots per game we're having. Up next we have Southampton who have conceded the most shots so far. 0-0 anyone?

We fully deserved to win today but we're somewhat fortunate to come away with a clean sheet. I can definitely see us conceding more goals this season with this style of play. Not that it matters if we're winning games, but we'll struggle in games we fall behind in.

I honestly don't care that much. We've lost a lot of games playing dull defensive stuff too and entertaining, quality attacking football can cover a multutude of sins.

I'd much rather finish 14th playing like this than 7th playing like we were this time last year, given that ultimately anywhere in between europe and relegation means much the same. We're just a really good team to watch right now and if we're not going to win leagues that's about as much as you can reasonably ask for.

Very happy with the result and special mention to Victor Anichebe and Tim Howard. My Men of the Match.

I'm inclined to this way of thinking, can't remember being so entertained by Everton, we're not going to win the league, but if we keep playing like we're champions, who's knows where it'll put us come end of season.*



*7th obviously like.

Missed the game - set the alarm for midnight here in Oz - it worked but I went straight back to sleep.

Pity would have loved to watch this game.

Glad to see Anichebe starting and playing well.

COYB!!!!

And the game was on at 9:30 anyway! Hahaha you ballsed that one up mate, unlucky, it was a good game.

Total football confuses these people. for our second goal, Our defensive mid played the ball from the right back position to our right back who played it to our second striker in midfield. He then played a sliderule pass down the right for our left sided midfielder to cross for our right sided midfielder who was storming in throught the inside left channel.

If I was Moyes I'd be fuming at the lack of discipline. Everyone was out of position ffs.

Am in an airport lounge. Just got strange looks from a few people after cracking up at the last comment!

Fantastic football for the 2nd goal. From our own corner flag to scoring it was a few seconds, and every ball was along the ground. More please Everton.

Being honest, i thought Jagielka was A LOT better than Heitinga today so i dont know what a few people were saying further up. Just what i saw like, Heitinga was incredibly shaky in the first half.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

When Gibson comes back who do you's he will replace, Osman or Neville?

Just watched the match.

Jags was decent, Heitinga was one of the only few to have a bad game.

Other observations:

SEXY FUN TIME EVERTON FOOTBALL STARRING VICTOR ANICHEBE

Neville and Osman.

I want Fellaini and Gibson sitting with a '3' of Mirallas Naismith Pienaar behind Jelavic.

Couldnt agree more, tho I dont think Moyes will do it. I could see him putting Neville at RB at leaving Osman and Gibson as defensive midfield.

Fellaini is playing brilliantly where he is, defences clearly hate playing against him, unless we pick up more injuries in midfield he should stay where he is.

Just a top class performance , the first 25mins was as good as I've seen for Years. Neville can be frustrating but although he missed chances thought Vic was excellent as were Felliani, Pienaar & Howard and I also think mirallas can be a real player for us .

Great performance & a great result

 

[Coach]

Fantastic performance yesterday.

One small thing: I was enjoying the game too much to analyse it at the time but in that 10-15 minute spell they had before half time was it because of of a tactical change they made? It seemed to me that Michu pushed up front and they played with two strikers. We didn't cope very well with this again. Also, it had the added result of stopping Jagielka joining in midfield which he had been doing to great effect earlier.

Jagielka and Heitinga sure looked wobbly at times and I would hae preferred heitinga and Distin personally.
