Tottenham Hotspur v Everton. 7th April @ 14.05.

Christ.

We conceded all those points (goals) after 83/84 mins.

Baines looked poor today because he did not have an outlet in front of him. He's not played particularly well for a few games now - Pienaar is essential to him. He can't play the left all on his own.

 

[faddy the blue]

Like he ruined arteta, martyn, cahill, pienaar, baines, coleman, fellaini, gravesen, lescott, jagielka, distin etc?

A lot of our players get better after their first seasons. Our strikers don't but if all of our players got worse after moyes coached them we wouldn't be in 6th.

Its the strikers mainly who are attack minded and don't or rather can't track back all the time.

AJ, Beats, Yak, Jelavic fit in that category easily. Cahill was finished, offered nothing in the end but jumping and hands waving, Arteta lost his touch but yes Moyes' long ball tactics didn't help. Bilyaletdinov needed to make a mark but he was not used by Moyes smartly as well and his own father and agent later criticized Moyes. This is the one season in the last 4 I guess where we're in 6th and although that's good, you know how you'll be w/o Felli and possibly Baines so rather than being content at 6th which doesn't even mean Europe, its results like today's that define your fate and it has.

Well if yo0u dont want to stick to thepoint then that shows how stupid your point is. Pathetic.

Yeah, he had a great game, Osman. And, the Everton board is performing well.

 

[Blu Bianco]

never seen baines dominated today like he was with walker though - shame coz walker is a bad bad tit.

Baines seemed to be afraid of him, ironically like how Neville used to be able contain Bale back in the Redknapp days.

 

[Christiffa25]

Think some are forgetting we were playing a very good spurs side even without there missing players

 

[Coach]

if Osman bullied him he must only be about 3ft 5in tall

I seem to remeber a point about 40 mins in to the game where Craig Burley commented on the fact that Osamn was a little plyer and you couldn't bully him -when he stuck an elbow in Prker's face and flattened him near the half way line on the LHS. Just of goes to show eh?

 

[Blu Bianco]

Because he's not fully fit and as Moyes said on friday "struggling to finish games"... Although i think I would have brought Oviedo or Hitzlesperger on instead

Hitzlsperger must be wondering if he's ever going to get a chance.

We had no one playing in front of Baines & Spurs realised this every attack nearly came down his side & walker is no slouch!

 

[Coach]

Yeah, he had a great game, Osman. And, the Everton board is performing well.

No arguement whatsoever. Pathetic.

We re talking about Osman and you try to twist it to the board. What have the board got to do with Osman's first touch?

No answer expected BTW because you are a ***.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Tbh 4th place isn't lost, but it's highly unlikely now.

I do think sixthis as good as it gets though.

 

[Coach]

No cover in fornt of him.

 

[toffeejack]

When you play against a team that can make 6 changes, use 3 subs and have 20 players on loan then the Fer deal does,nt make a lick of difference.

we beat them at home though. I guarantee fer's dodgy knees wouldn't have been a worse option than osman's performance today, he had the ball in so many good positions and ruined it.

I don't know why Baines hadn't just sat back on their 2nd goal. Should he just track Walker instead we would be ok.

think it was in his head how walker had dominated him tbh, he sold himself didn't he? should have just stood up to it. ah well, can't expect him to be perfect all the time

never seen baines dominated today like he was with walker though - shame coz walker is a bad bad tit. osman was utterly garbage today i though, needs a rest, and sadly gibson has looked a bit meh lately. We all knew the fer decision would come back to haunt us

I've never seen Gibson being anything other than a bit 'meh'.
He's a myth of a player, no idea what people see in him. Never gets criticized either. Somebody earlier said his passing on the ground was great ???
Barkley is a future championship level hero btw.
Happy with a draw today, pretty bad performance, lucky to get it.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Hitzlsperger must be wondering if he's ever going to get a chance.

Mad isn't it how much Moyes gets a hard on when he can bring on a young blonde Scotsman from the bench? I fail to see how Naismith was the best option with Hitz on the bench, I find it unbelievable.
