The Mail Bag
Team for West Ham
Comments (205)
I was just hearing that Cahill and Arteta are doubtful for West Ham due to injury. Together with Fellaini, that puts a big hole in our midfield... However, I do believe it may give an opportunity for Rodwell, Castillo and Baines to figure.
I have been puzzled by Baines's exclusion ? particularly with Lescott's indifferent form. Having said that, I have advocated for some time that Baines may be more suitable as a wing back to give us more width with Pienaar on the right flank.
In a 4-5-1 formation, which I think we should go for, that would leave Osman, Castillo and Rodwell in the centre.
If Arteta or Cahill are fit then I might put them in ahead of Rodwell but feel that Osman and Castillo should play anyway as it won't do any harm for Mikky or Tim to be "rested".

Jay Harris, the OS mentions Peanuts and the Yak as being doubtful. No mention about Cahill/Arteta.
I think the boss will go with:
Saha
Cahill
Pienaar, Ossie, Castillo, Arteta
Lescott, Jags, Yobo, Neville
Howard
Although, personally, I would like to see Baines instead of Lescott, on present form. Although, if Pienaar is injured, we may well see Baines playing in left mid-field - not a bad thing in my opinion.
Looks good tonight folks. COYB !!

Hope that’s not true as the Yak and Pienaar also doubtful through injury.
Hoping for this:
Howard
Neville, Yobo, Jags, Lescott
Rodwell
Arteta, Osman, Pienaar (Baines)
Timmy
Vaughany (Work rate)
Subs: Nash, Hibbo, Baines, Baxter, Vic, Yak, Saha

Good grief, has ToffeeWeb descended into the realms of Football Manager completely now then....FFS?
Moyes selects the team, the fans just have to suffer 90 minutes of excruciatingly bad football, usual mystery injuries and dour media interviews........ FFS

We need to be changing players around to stop the rot setting in. Those playing now are almost guaranteed a first team place barring injury. Use other players not getting a look in like Rodwell, Castillo and Van der Meyde. Get Osman on the operating table if he needs his knee sorting and make them challenge for places before they become complacent. We need to see competitive competition for places to knock us up a gear or two.
Get a grip Stephen Stuart, there is nothing wrong with a bit of team discussion, if you do not like it then please keep it to yourself and sod off.
The unhappy Hammers are in freefall with a novice foreign manager, financial trouble with heavily indebted Icelandic owners and have gained only 1 point from the last 15! They also have injuries and suspensions to some of their better first teamers. Our away form is pretty good and our lads’ confidence is high at last, especially compared to the happless hammers.
Taking all that into account, assuming Yak and Peanuts are out I think the team (in an ATTACKING 4-5-1) should be:
Howard;
Neville, Yobo, Jagielka, Baines; Anichebe, Osman, Rodwell, Cahill, Arteta;
Vaughan.
Subs: Castillo, Lescott, Anichebe, Gosling, Baxter, Valente, Nash.
This way, the team can be 442 or even 433 when we have the ball, but is flexible to be defensive and tight with 5 in midfield/defence when we need.
With the right support, the energy and movement of Vaughan, Anichebe and Cahill can wear down the stretched hammers. Later on we can bring Saha on for Vaughan or Anichebe (or Cahill) to give his extra class the chance to shine against worn down opponents.
Sounds great in theory to me, but will it be used and be effective in reality? My crystal ball is up the creek so I’ll wait and see...COYB!

Doh! Saha is omitted from bench above, obviously Saha should be on bench (not Vic) as Anichebe is on right wing.
This is why it makes me laugh when everyone say?s we will be ok when our first choice 11 is available. Exactly when was the last time they were? Cahill alone will spend weeks injured or suspended.

Rodwell ahead of Castillo???

Castillo just back from a month out injured, that might be why.
Does anyone know any streaming sites for the match

Despite starting with two forwards, it looks like we?re playing 4-5-1 with Vic dropping into midfield with Cahill playing off Saha. If so, that?s one hell of an indictment about our midfield depth. Just thank our lucky stars that Davey didn?t opt to start Hibbert with Captain Fantastic moving forward.
Pete is your feed delayed by 5 mins?
Can someone give me directions on live streaming? I'm having trouble locating the game on any of the sites posted.
http://www.ustream.tv/videoplayerpopup/channel/344980
Well first 15 mins or so gone and not a lot to say really apart from were giving ’em all the space in the world to play there football!
Anyone doing a commentary?
I?m in work.
I?m in work.
Think it might be delayed. Not the best stream in the world, lol. Gona ditch it for another at half time.
Google justintv ? type in west ham >search
live feed...

I think Lescott as got Neville’s old boots on because all he seem to be doing is punting it up field whenever he gets the ball!
The worst 25 min of football in the league this season?
This is Championship stuff.
This is Championship stuff.
Behave Sean ? give the game a chance ? it?s been half decent.
Can?t believe how negative some people are...
Can?t believe how negative some people are...
We look awful. No enthusiasm, no imagination. Lucky to get a point...
We’re living off Tim Howard at the mo. Going to be lucky to keep a clean sheet at this rate.
This is piss poor... yet again we look devoid of all creativity or passion.
That WAS a fine stop by my whipping boy Howard, however.
Great save from Howard then. Jeez we?re a terrible football team. Is Osman playing??!! Hardly touched the ball.
we are fucking crap......... six years we have waited for this!!!
Sean Condon ? Why is Howard your ?whipping boy??
This is so, so poor. Have we even had a shot on goal?
I can?t be bothered watching anymore, I?ll go and do some DIY instead.
We are the new Bolton!

This is horrible, we look terrible. Why can?t we pass to each other?
The one with no neck is ripping us to shreds :(

This is nowhere near Championship standard!!!! This is a bit painful.
Christ!! Neville looks like a man possessed the way he’s shouting at the others!!
Not sure our formation is right, Young Rodwell is looking young today. We?ve not got enough bite in midfield.
give them a chance - you’re like a bunch of kopites...
Chris Jones,
If you think this is half-decent then
a) you havent seen much football in your life and
b) you?re part of the problem, not the solution.
If too many people are accepting of this tripe, then it won't change.

Because I?ve posted, like, fifty times on here saying what a poor keeper I think he is. In truth, he?s probably about middle of the pack as far as Premier League goalies go; I?ve just never seen him win a match for us, stop a one-on-one or catch a bloody cross. Haha... just havin? fun.
Gotta laugh about somethin?, this is dreadful.
How many times are we gonna mis-control or give the ball away... it's fuckin embarrassing.
Cahill anonymous... Arteta anonymous AGAIN...
We dont look like we?ve got a SHOT never mind a goal in us
It?s shite.... 5 more fuckin years of this? God help us.

Chris, they are walking all over us... its not hard to see that.
Chris Jones can?t be watching the same game? No-one can say we playing anything like decent. Bag of shite, that?s what we are.
Jeremy Benson: the new Bolton? Hagh!
Assuming yer talkin? about Big Sam?s thugs of a few years back, we?d actually have to have someone in midfield who?d reached puberty.

Rumour has it we will have an attempt on goal sometime before the next general election. Piss poor.
Check my comments Jeremy.
Never said we were playing well. Just said don?t dive in with negative comments until the game pans out.
Don?t lecture me about how many games I?ve seen. I played professionally and have watched Everton week-in, week-out since ?84.
I don?t accept second best but I don?t jump on players half way through a game when confidence is already mixed at best...

Sorry i meant Chris Jones, I'm trying to type while watching this... this pile of shit. We are wank.
After watching the Arse v Manure game earlier, this is just painful viewing. We seem effortlessly capable of making the most average teams look good.... at last a shot on goal!!!
Chris, you?ve watched them since ?84? Fella on here yesterday has been watching since ?79.
1879.
1879.
Anichebe playing as a wide player is a fuckin joke... a bad decision. Rodwell is a centre half NOT a midfield player... the whole midfield is a bad mistake... No pace no movement and worst of all no DESIRE.... but don't blame Davie Boy ? he only picks the team, FFS.
Well Chris, seems your opinion is in the minority.
Roll on the second half; we can only get better. I think we are missing the big man (Fellaini)...
The local sportsradio channel here in Vancouver is carrying the match... I don?t know where from.... I think it?s Tony Gale and Winterburn. They?re really taking the piss. It?s kinda funny.
Peter Killey, you took the words out of my mouth.
I HOPE THATS OUR BAD 45 OUT THE WAY !
Why are we so bad... no creativity....
Just pure shit..
Just pure shit..
Hooooffff !!!
Absolute SHITE !!
Absolute SHITE !!
Did anybody else just notice Jags seem to think about passing back to Howard despite one of their strikers being stood in front of him?!?! What is up with them?!?!
Ugly 1st half. Not too sure what kind of tactics we actually played.
Hopefully 2nd half proves better.
Hopefully 2nd half proves better.
Just to clarify for the ignorant...
Sean had said: The worst 25 min of football in the league this season?
This is Championship stuff."
I responded: that the ?game was half-decent? I never mentioned our performance.
What pisses me off is that you all can?t wait to have a pop. It?s not been great from Everton but fuckin give them a chance. You?re the types that make Goodison such a miserable morgue to visit lately.

A very disappointing Walter Smith half.....
Anyone elses stream just break? Does that usually happen at half time? (I'm a bit new to the whole streaming thing.)
We need major surgery. Right guys let's have some positive thoughts on the way Moyesy turns this thing round in the second half.
Chris Jones.... If you?ve played professional and you think this is acceptable, you must have played for a pretty poor side...
I?d take a point now a tell ya! I can honestly say that's the worst I've seen us play this season and for a long time, fucking shocking!! There?s West Ham there full of movement and running and they don't give us an inch of space when we're on the ball yet we're giving ?em all the time in the fucking world to play their football, it's fucking shite!!!
Actually, it’s Moyes and Kenwright who have turned it into a morgue.
What do these guys get paid? I think I’d get fired if I worked with this little bit of enthusiasm.
Shocking. Whatever the result of this game, that first half "performance" is unforgivable.
Guys, guys,
We should all just shut up and let Chris Jones talk.
We’re ignorant kopites.

Peter Dancer, that is working: http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/sat8.11/WestHam_Everton3.html
Absolute garbage - do we have a midfield? Can someone tell me what is Cahill's position? Is he a forward? Then if so, why are we picking a midfield player to play up front and a forward to play wide?
Moyes is absolute pants, his tactics are so defensive and dour that it makes me embarrassed to be a blue. £17M to play this shite ? anonymous Osman, hoofball back 4, Anichebe is lazier than the Yak and no one has the ability to keep possession ? Cahill dictates the whole team formation, and he ain?t good enough to do that!!!
Moyes will do fuck all as usual... he wll wait to make any change until we go a goal down. Sooner or later you people will have to see thro his limitations. No style of play other than HOOOFFF!! Players constantly played out of position and you wonder why we play without any cohesion.
The reason for this is Moyes?s tactics... THEY ARE SHITE !!

I think (hope is more like it) that even Ditherin? Davey will have seen THAT and recognized the need for change...... and bring on Vaughan for the shiftless Anichebe.
Pete, if you are struggling, download sopcast and go to channel 6003, it's pretty good (the stream, not the game).
Nelly Blythe... it?s the thing about Moyes I don?t understand ? he waits far too long before making a substitution. Right now, he should be switching someone out of that midfield and bringing in Castillo ? can he be more anonymous than the players in there right now?????
And to think, even though we had just finished 5th in May, I said I?d prefer it if Moyes left and was slated for it, simply because of the hoof brand of football he is limited to. He never played at the highest level, and it shows. And please don?t say neither did Wenger. Anywone agree with me now?
It's painfully obvious that Cahill isn't cutting it at the moment and we are trying to play a system which uses him in a big way ? and it ain't working.
Anichebe is like a lost soul out wide, he hasn't the pace or strength to get past either full back. Arteta has just had enough by the looks of it, there is no-one in space, the passing is slow and often to players with West Ham lads 2 yds away.
Overall the worst 45 mins I?ve seen this season ? thank god for Howard, Neville and Jags ? the rest might as well as go back to bed.
I didn't think I?d be saying this but I think were missing Fellaini today big time!! And we all say Yak is lazy but he?d've put more of a shift in than Cahill, Saha and Anichebe!!
Get Vic and Saha off,and put Vaughany and Baines on!
Joe.... journeyman player.... journeyman style of play....
At least his teams of the past would compete and put opposition players under pressure... they dont even fuckin bother to do that now... they should all be fuckin ashamed of themselves.
Arteta is a fuckin imposter... hasn?t played well for 18 months but this season has no injury to blame it on... his dead ball delivery is abysmal... fuck him off the corners and free kicks...

Looks like Moyes is happy with that shite from the first half. No change. Same old Hooooof shite
Neil B - Man City aren?t a shite side
Jeremy - think you hit the nail on the head there fellah.
Jeremy - think you hit the nail on the head there fellah.
Chris....If you’re the big lanky galloot who played up front...enough said eh !!
and it’s NELLY not Neil !!
Sorry Neil - short arsed fast kid who played left wing
Really.....Man City have been shite since the late 60’s so stop kiddin yerself...
Have you ever seen such slow ’passing’ in all your days? I thought my stream was lagging!
Its looking better... we’re in their half! lol
No PACE anywhere in the side....we are crap !!
Uh-oh, Etherington just came on. He likes to run, which puts him in a different class than anyone we?ve got on the pitch.
Etherington..... what a strange head ? foetal alchohol syndrome?????
Fuck Me....we NEARLY had a shot then !!
Can?t wait for the 70th mins. We will win the game after that. Cos thats the time Moyes bring in the substitutes.
Arteta?s crosses in very good positions are piss poor.
1-0 down. SHITE!!!
Actually, jokes aside, we are looking a bit better. A few chances, threatening a bit. ..... touchwood.
1-0 down and we are rubbish
We’re losing, who’d have thought it!
Arteta has been a bag of shite...AGAIN !!
Shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's only what we deserve. Shite goal to concede. What garbage does Moyes have up his sleeve now?
Fuck Moyes Fuck Moyes Fuck Moyes.
Painful......
Painful......
1-0 West Ham....GAME OVER !!
I’m sure you’re pleased now Nelly...
Wish you’d pack your trunk and fuck off.
Much better second half - we won’t lose this. That was a pen and Parker was offside

Sub on when we go a goal down... Fuckin' told yer...
Moyes is shite!!

A-Ha! There?s the old reliable Moyesie master-stroke. It almost makes you laugh. It would had I not been so sedated by this bullshit that I am no longer capable of summoning emotion. I feel like a character in that George Lucas film THX1138.
Come on you Blue boys.
All on Vaughan now.....don?t feel very confident....
Why on earth when we go on the attack by playing the ball on the floor we then put the last ball in for a header? Let's have a fooking pop at the keeper!
At least Vaughn’s got more than a few minutes playing.
God this is dreadful. I hate to say it and he had a great season last season but Lescott is a donkey but that could be because he?s at Lb.
We need a miracle.
We need a miracle.
Chris Jones - what a mature individual you are. Also, I am sending you a stamp so you can write everything you know about football on the back of it.
This is total garbage football. Tell me how 19% possession in the first half is somet’ to defend? Stop attacking fellow blues you tosser.
PS - that’s called irony Chris.

Relegation candidates you bet we are this season has been absymal Moyes how did you get a further five years ?? total waste of our money !! MOYES OUT
So unless you just come on here and slag the team then you may as well just fuck off then - nice one Joey
You know what DM will say after this: "I thought we played well considering the players we were missing... we should?ve had a penalty, and their goal was offside."
Ahhh!!! So close!!!
I can?t express in words just how truly woeful we?ve been this match. It?s just not good enough. Apart from a couple of Howard saves, not one player has done anything to suggest that they?re Premier League players. Disgraceful,
Chris Jones... much better 2nd half.? What the fuck are you on... think it?s time YOU fucked off you sad sack !!
Professional.... my arse !!
Professional.... my arse !!
For once you’re right Nelly - tara
Rodwell... FFS please tell me what I am missing here.
I can see nothing at all that makes me believe he is ready to play at this level.
I can see nothing at all that makes me believe he is ready to play at this level.
How I wish the rest of the squad would show the passion & determination like Vaughan.
Vaughan has given the side some much needed pace and enthusiasm. He deserves a run. Some people on here need to concentrate on the footy.
Paul Niklas... totally agree about Rodwell.... He looks painfully out of his depth to me.... and has done every time I?ve seen him.
Who is this bellend of a commentator?
Just got in from work to watch this crap ? have we been this bad all game?
PS: Never ever call fellow Blues Reds
It's the ultimate sin.

Get in! Come on blues!
Great move - great finish...
Lescott, you beauty!
Fucking get in, first bit of quality, NOW COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let?s make Saha a winger, and Lescott Bob Latchford.
Get out of jail free card..
Get in... now let's get at them, their heads should go..

FUCKIN YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!
What a turnaround. Great goal again. Well done Saha.
WHAT WAS THAT I SAID ABOUT A MIRACLE!!!
Louis Saha is dead handsome.
Un-fucking-believable.
Blimey Nelly, looks like you?ve been spot on with everything today... don?t suppose you have any lottery numbers for us do you?
Happy to take the points but fuck me ? where did those three goals come from?
Only another five years of this total shite, roll on 2013!!!
3-1, thank you very much. Great, great play by Saha.
Fuck me!! Who?da thought it!!!
NEVER SAY DIE... BLUE FOREVER!!!
Saha - good signing Nelly?
Ye of little faith...
Ye of little faith...
This is amazing.
Can't believe this shit.... get in there!!!
WTF - How can we be this shit & still winning games???
La la, la la hey hey, hey Luis Saha!
Well, I won?t complain if we keep doing this all season as we will be champions for winning all matches in the last ten minutes, but this is terrible for my heart. Another three points earned with free-flowing passing football ;-)
Saha scoring another two goals is great news by the way, it could mean we finally have more than one easy-scoring striker.

What a wonderful performance! Absolute Total Football. Holland ?74 had nothing on this. The School of Science. Jesus, Kendall?s Marvels would?ve had a hard time beating this lot.
Hahahahahaha.... most unlikely result since, well, half-time vs ManUre. But I?ll take it.
Yeeee-haaaaa!!!!!!

Did we just enter a paralell universe for the last 10 minutes or what !!!
We played poorly for the first half but never looked like caving in.
In the last 20 we were the only team going to win. Still loads to improve though - we still lack pace up top and a need to find the elusive holding midfielder but you can’t doubt the team’s spirit over the last month or so.
Shame some Evertonians can’t show the same spirit - irrespective of your opinions.

Marshy give us a wave! Marshy, Marshy, Marshy give us a wave!
Anyone else feel bad for the hammers?
Rodwell off and the turn around started.
He is not ready, he is not a midfielder, needs to get focussed on becoming a top class central defender.
Give up on midfield.
Well done Everton and well done DM for realising you made a mistake with Rodwell.
Castillo should have been there

I think MOYES deserves some credit!!
Hmm, suddenly those summer transfer dealings aren’t looking quite so uninspired after all - would like to see Castillo given a proper chance though.
Granted we have to improve a LOT, but winning ugly isn’t exactly a terrible habit and success breeds confidence.
With Lescott getting back on the goal sheet, Saha finding his touch and the Yak, Peanuts and Screech to come back in (plus Cahill to get back up to speed and Arteta to hopefully find some form) it’s suddenly not looking so bad after all. Shame we blew UEFA so early though.

Feel bad for a team with that hunchback Ballemy and that little thug Bowyer......????
That would be a "No".........
Hey Chris Jones... Stops that.. you are getting as ugly as our tactics.
Thank God we played only 5 mins and that's all it takes to win the game.
And Yeah... never thought I be so happy seeing Hibbert on....

Fucking amazing, even sweeter I had 20quid on the blues to win -1 goal at 11/2.
Sweet Jesus, I?d have taking the draw never mind my bet......

Yeah, Castillo shoulda been playing.
C?mon you Baggies.
C?mon you Baggies.
Get real the lot of you! NO SKILLS at all, Poor execution, Poor passing, Poor fucking EVERYTHING, apart from that it was FUCKING PERFECT, 1-3
Wrong site Frank if you’re looking for that!
Vaughan gives Everton the energy they need! Think he was the reason to the turnaround! And now, let's hope West Brom beat the redshite.
Where the fuck did that result come from, get in!! It can only be a good sign that we're playing so shite but still getting results, brilliant!!! It's a grand old team to play for, its a grand old team to support, an if ya know your history, it's enough to make your heart go whoooooaaaaaaaa, we dont care what the redshite say, what the fuck do we care, cos we only know that there's going to be a show when the Everton boys are there!!!! COYB!!!!
A man on the radio just said we have been getting "a glut of goals in the last few minutes". Not quite - but beyond belief today. Louis the comeback kid? Hope so. Anyway, 10 out of 12 points in four games helps a lot - thank you.
Watched it on ESPN. Had two bottles of Stella in 80 minutes, drank 6 in the last 10 minutes and now having a whisky!! Fucking fantastic!!!!
if you read through all these comments from start to finish there are some fickle fans on here, we're shit piss poor blah blah then when we win 3-1 its great brilliant. Can we reserve judgement until the game is finished as that is when the result matters ? not after 63 mins!!
Rob, not the same fans at the start who are commenting at the end.
However ,the first half was poor until Moyes changed the tactics and became more adventurous. He deserves a lot of credit!

Reading this site shows how fickle some fans are, so quick to jump the gun. Have you learnt nothing from the past few games and the last minute goals? Have you learn't nothing that Moyes nearly always gets it right in the long run?
A shocking performance for eighty minutes. The lack of movement to allow whoever has possesion of the ball to make an easy pass is a disgrace. Its the same every week. we can not do the simple pass and move required to keep the ball for any length of time so it ends up being hoofed and coming back at us putting way to much pressure on the defense.
Against the teams with better forwards we look like mugs but against the more average teams we do have the quality to score ourselves so get our fair share of points . It aint pretty but unless we get a sugar daddy to pay for half a dozen geuinely world class players then its what we are going to have to watch whlist Moyes is in charge with the current crop. 3 great goals to win it. Would I part with £35 and a day of my weekend to watch that no chance. Id rather do what more and more people seem to be doing and thats watch games on the internet streams if the fall in attendences is any indicator. If we played better football then id have no probs going to games and parting with my hard earned cash. Good to see us a get a little run of points going but we are shocking for the majority of most games we play in.

Reading this site shows just how fickle some fans are.
Some people are only interested in the statistical result of a game, and not the performance.
Perhaps some fans should follow baseball instead?

Jeremy, I'd rather play shite and win than play well and lose.
Don't make daft comments.
Hardly any team plays great football all of the time and wins, get real will ye.

Quod erat demonstrandum.
Quite right Ian, and it is amusing to read through all the comments from the doom and gloom merchants as the match progresses (which funnily enough lasts 90 minutes...)
Thank God they weren?t at the match dispensing their unique brand of "support".... maybe that?s why we?ve scored twice as many goals away than at home.

Jeremy, you have spoken enough crap for one day as Chris Jones discovered on here, you were all giving him abuse like he knew fuckall and he wrote you all off by the final whistle.
We won and it's result that matter. If you don't like it, watch West Brom, I hear they play lovely football.

Oh Ian, it's not crap, you can find out what it means on Wikipedia.
I am not a glory-hunting supporter, I love football - not points tallies. I?m sorry you see the beautiful game the other way.
Why don't you go and support Bolton?

Thanks Ian.
For the record, I never said we were playing well and for the record I?m not a Moyes apologist. I?m just fed up with fans who jump down the throat of the team / manager / other fans from 20 mins in.
I apologise if I got bitchy or if people thought I?d labelled anyone on here a ?kopite? - I actually said stop acting LIKE kopites.
We are stuck with Moyes ? whether we like it or not ? let?s not turn into that horrible sanctimonious lot across the park. Let?s stick together as best we can.
God bless you all... even Nelly and Jeremy!

Fair play to you Chris,
You only "jumped down the throat of other fans" after 28 minutes and 58 seconds of the game.
However, everyone else was commenting on the game - you directed your comments against people who were posting on the site. We all were commenting on the performance. And then followed it up by suggesting we were all like kopites.
Oh, Ian Tunny - you?ve already called someone else a shithouse on another thread.
Could you start an argument when on your own in a room?

Jeremy, I am not a glory-hunter either ? if I was, I'd support Man U or the Shite. I'm just realistic to know a 3-1 win away from home is a good result; yes, we didn't play well for much of the game, but neither do Man U or Chelsea, that's life.
I chose to look at the positives, that we are winning and we don't even have to play well, it's only a matter of time before we do an then I'm sure you'll be happy,
If others on here are going to call Moyes a shithouse who can't defend himself on here then I will feel the need to defend them.

This match would seem to show that we are very good at being flat track bullies and beating the teams that are not in the top4. We shouldn?t dismiss this ability as this should/could allow us again to finish close to the Big 4. Delighted for Saha and shows that we do have some strength in the forwards.
West Ham game: we played badly for 80 mins. Happily we have the ex-Man U trio who really won the game for us. Saha is a world class player.
But seriously folks, some of the comments here in the mailbag are way over the line. My RS friends are more polite than you guys here to fellow Evertonians.< By the way I like Tony Marsh's comments because they are filled with passion and true feeling for the club. When the team is not playing well why on earth you can?t say that aloud?
I like to think I didn?t chose instead of being chosen when I saw THE match in 1966. My kids are born with it. My Everton team would play like the standard says: nothing but the best is good enough. I can?t see that happening right now. Still, we have to support the club and maintain the dignity and humanity that?s in all of us. So tell it when it hurts but don?t insult your fellow Evertonian because we got to stick together. COYB
Oh Davey Moyes, Davey Davey Davey Moyes, Davey Davey Davey Moyes! 3 wins on the bounce, haven't played well at all. Long may it continue! Also Louis Saha! Absolute bargain! Beat Boro and we're going places.

Report abuse
Pienaar, Osman, Vaughan, Cahill, Anichebe
Or,
Pienaar, Neville, Osman, Cahill with Saha up front.
In either case I will head for the nearest pumps, which don?t open here until 1600 GMT unfortunately.
God forbid that we field a balanced, creative midfield, which we are capable of doing!
