but howard saved us 1st half!

He did indeed. His fault the goal, but the amount of Howard out threads we'll see after this will make me cry.

I don't want him tossed, but that goal was his fault today. 100%.

The game management was not Howard's fault. That's on Moyes.

 

[DualityNSNO]

If their goal hadn't gone in, i don't think we'd have scored

A million times this.

We would continuously play the long ball and if somehow we manage to get close to their penalty area - cross it for the only striker we have on.

A great big [Poor language removed] you to both Moyes and Neville for killing my hope for anything positive in this game.
Grow a pair, you useless ginger Scotsman. There are so many reasons why he is bad, even horrible, that it's just not even worth it to start discussing those. But a good starting point would be - why do we play attacking at Goodison, but whenever we go to an away game and whoever the opposition is - we go back to hoofing it to Fellaini. And Neville is the only player I would like to get injured at the moment. Nothing serious, but just to keep him out for a month or so.

And Damon, you are just stupid, it stopped being funny... No, wait, it never was. I stand by my own words - you are as funny as a tumour. Your wit is also on the same level. Go on, defend Moyes for that goal Anichebe scored. And praise him for getting an attacking player off for PHIL F*CKING NEVILLE in the beginning of the second half. Be happy we just got a draw against the relegation fodder that is Wigan; be even more happy we got a fluke of a goal in the last 10 minutes, again, for a draw, again, by a player who touched the ball once. But most of all - be happy that we are playing the ugliest football under Moyes.

Or just pretend you're blind and answer with some of your regular sh*t, which you always spew when given a logical point to talk about. "AT LEAST WE'RE NOT VILLA", eh? Or was it Chelsea this time around?

End of the day...

1st half we played really well without opening them up. Mainly down to the link up play from Cahill who took a knock and wasnt offering anything. Pienaar slotted straight in and the passing was crisp. Fellaini was breaking up play and dominating the midfield. All we needed to do was fix the link up play, and step up the pace. Playing Pienaar in the attacking midfield role, keep you central midfield pair who were working well, and add a Anichebe or more so Drenthe on the left steps up that tempo and fixes the poor link up play.

2nd half. Moyes decides to make a defensive substitution and in turn ruins any shape or jumping off point built in the 1st half. We dropped back, we lost shape, passing went to pot, and the central midfield looked lost with Fellaini missing from it. We didnt look a threat as in the 1st half. We didnt even have a shot on goal or even 1 shot prior to the goal.

Moyes reverted to type. Away from home, hang on as long as possible....then nick a goal. Its a trait we've seen all season.

What is the excuse now?

8 - Fellaini, Pienaar

4 - Howard, Neville

2 - Ref, Moyes, Damon

Pretty much. Though Jelly looked good for the few minutes he was on (minus the dumb foul at the end killing something promising).

 

[Rook]

Announcer: "David Moyes has got it right again bringing on an attacker."

Hahahahaahaha...

No he hasn't.

That totally was the best part of the match.

 

[ShaggyReAL]

Did Sir Landon even play in the match today?

I personally think 2 is a little high for Damon.

 

[alwaysblue]

but howard saved us 1st half!

Done his job more like mate. Nearly gave it away late on too. These fanny punches he comes up with too get on my tits, catch the ****ing thing. He comes up with some great saves, but has looked shaky for weeks. I am probably being a bit knee jerk atm, so pissed of with that game.

 

[RFUS]

I personally think 2 is a little high for Damon.

I have him on ignore. I'm just assuming that he's been a blert.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Same, and you're right, at least from what I saw quoted of him in other people's posts.

I'd give him a -683862.5 / 10. And that's being generous.

 

[Titus Bramble]

If someone offered us 4 points from Man City and Wigan last week I'm sure a lot of people would have taken it, but trust us to do it this way round. Feels like a defeat.

Why did he bring Neville on? I haven't got a problem with taking Cahill off but bring someone who's going to cause them trouble, not Phil f*cking Neville.

 

[Matt Damon]

I personally think 2 is a little high for Damon.

Its the inverse scale lid. 1 is brilliant. 2 Great. ... 10 glue sniffing mentalists who say "Get Owen Coyle In!"

 

[Kay20]

Sadly, it won't, as it's not a hoof. But they did combine well, tbf.

Right? They [LD + Jelly] had some GREAT motion together and give and gos. The 8 minutes we saw was boss, too bad we'll never see it again.

Btw im sick of howard killing all our counter attackinf chances by keeping hold of the ball for so long, there was a moment at the end where jela and anichebe were screaming for the ball
