This could be a real tough game to win in light of the injuries and the long trip to Belarus. Stoke are a very big physical side who are going to be a real danger with their 4 centre backs especially when they come forward for throw-ins and corners. Playing Hibbert again in the middle would be suicide if Yobo is out. Certainly that will be Stoke's main ploy and Everton need to keep possession for long spells and not surrender the ball cheaply like they usually do.

Is anyone else getting just a pic of a test card from Gerry’s link?
That Iraqgoals link isnt live (yet) but also have a look at
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/f1-race-live
which should go live at kick off.
Wonder if Hibbo is gonna be given another chance at CB? Is Moyes gonna risk that in the prem?... COYB

The link will work once 3pm comes.
You know even though we haven't hit top gear yet this season, if we win today, we're 3 points behind Arsenal who smacked our arse first game of season. So we can't be that bad.
COYB
Cant see hibbo at centre half today..i reckon Heitinga will be in there along side Distin...Stoke look to be starting with 4 centre halfs so there gonna be dangerous at set pieces!!Billy at 12/1 for 1st goal is my punt!!
Andy, be patient, laddie, match hasn’t kicked off yet........
Good link so far on Iraqgoals. Thanks!
Osman Captain.

Haha, no worries lads, it’s going now. Patience is never ny strong point...
Blimey, I was close there! Got Cahill and Felli wrong way round.
Although I’m not up for the usual player-knocking, I’m not convinced about logic of Osman as captain with the likes of Cahill, Distin and Baines out there, maybe Moyes is trying to boost the lads confidence. He doesn’t strike me as a shouter/leader though.

Probably giving him the captaincy to boost his confidence?
The critical shite he constantly gets on here can’t help his cause, can it?

Anybody else having issues with streaming? It’s really poor quality and continuously off-line. Perhaps it’s just my computer?
Yep me too. Might just be my laptop as well though!
Fabulous cross from Fellaini - Cahill close
Ah shit, should of scored
Nah can’t even get a stream going this end- gutted!
The link I posted works fine - has not dropped out once - so if that ain’t working, then yeah may be your computers...
http://iraqgoals.net/game2543.html. is working fine for me
Same here. Started off great then nothing. Got three on the go but none working.
Keep losing the stream on iraq goals and the other one!!
yeah all streams down
I can’t get anything at all. Got Everton TV Commentary on, though.
Martin - I had all 3 on, but closed 2 down and got this back.....

Anyone watching it on sopcast?
All streams down on my end as well, even iraqgoals.

Tom Winek: is there a channel on sopcast showing? I will be happier watching it on sopcast.
Thanks Gerry but still nothing. Perhaps it’s cos I’m in UK.
So far so good with this link: http://www.zomse.com/
Oh for technology - you are a couple of hundred miles from Goodison and nothing? I’m 5,000 plus - and watching...........spoke too soon........kiss of death

Nice one Phil C., Great link, Thanks
Thanks Phil! Great link! You are a godsend.
Bollocks, spoke to soon, looks like they are showing Chelsea - shite after half time
phil is that the right link?
Pretty physical, scrappy game so far as expected. Stoke sitting deep and hitting us on the counter
Hibbo - shot on goal, corner......

Thanks for the SopCast channel, Tom. Channel number 81774, in case anyone else is looking.
Some tough tackling from Stoke - Everton trying to play
Had probs all first half but the Sopcast link is sound- just hope it stays on second half
Half time 0-0 - relax for 15 mins guys
it’s all about sopcast lads - perfect stream
I know you have to download it but it’s worth it. We’re on top here - hopefully it’ll get better second half though. Need to have more shots on goal here.

HT.....Billy looks short of confidence!!! Crosses either too long or too short. Come on Billy...COYB
any tips on how to find a sopcast channel in future. I never know whats on what channel.
Stoke closing our left side down really quickly - Bainsey and Billy are finding it tougher than usual to switch play. Rodwell flying the ball about with confidence and Fellaini looking good, along with Osman. Not much from our right hand side at all, not Hibbo’s fault, nothing ahead of him to help the cause
Oh shit- looks like it’s Chelski and the shite on sopcast :-(
Yeah back here...
http://www.magedtv.net/ch2.html

Am I the only one who isn’t seeing a picture on the magedtv/ustream channel?
Crap
No John
Nobody followed him on that corner - shite 0-1
bollix
The stream just turned on just long enough to see them score then its gone again.. CRAP is right...
ffs
Wilfully trying to ignore the Stoke goal, any suggestions as to why I’m connected and haven’t got a picture?
Well isn’t that just like Everton, all over then, but again behind at home...
Joy. Moyes is being out Moyesed by Pulis and his band of cloggers. Come on Everton, I can’t be having this - I’ll have a workplace full of the clayhead swine giving me grief next week!
FFS.... why was there no one on that post?
why is it when the streaming is crap it generally means its gonns be a shit afternoon!!!
Well played Os - great run and shot
Time to get the Yak on me thinks!!

Nother corner
Iraqgoals working now.
Need another.
COYB!

Big half an hour now, boys. These are the games we need to win.
Why is EFC commentary so far behind play on viewing websites?
Get in Ossie Ossie Ossie.
Thanks for the update guys! No watchable links at this point in time for me.

Brilliant touch from Bily to deceive 2 defenders but scuffs shot

Jimmy, is that since the age of 17? What match are you watching?
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mt21
Wow, drop ball.
No, since the last part of it was mt17, its at mt21 now
Top tip Jim, i’ll remember that- working fine now :-)
Extremely patchy stream tonight, sounds exactly like how Everton plays - good in parts, terrible in others.
Who was that hot chick in front of Jags in the crowd!?
Jo getting ready to sub in.
Billy going off - Jo coming on
Oh nearly cahill..
Brills cross - Cahill oooooooooo straight at Sorensen
If its Jags missus i wouldnt mind been out for 10 months!!jo for billy??wtf??
ah shit thats twice he has headed straight at the keeper
We’ve got to go for the win here now, we’ve got the measure and need to up the tempo.
Who do we bring Yak on for though?
Taking of Cahill, Saha or Felli if you want a goal doesn’t seem to make sense, so unless we want to go 3 at the back, it would seem to be Billy, Rodwell or Ossie.

Rodders, Rodders ooooooo good shot
Streams have been mere drops today. Call me paranoid if you like, but everytime someone lists a new link here it goes down moments later ...
The links are shit....someone tell me something!!!!!
Blimey - well you can’t accuse Moyes of not going attacking this time! 3 forwards on. At once!
No wingers mind, but it’s not like Ossie or Billy were whipping in crosses.
Come on lads, let’s feed the Yak!

who took the armband when ossie was taken off?
Score damnit score. Please Yak, one off your backside will do.
So what exactly did Fellaini do there to get that yellow?
Fellaini needs to concentrate now and get his head back in the game.
He has played very well today and did not deserve that yellow, would be a shame for him to mess up now.

Hibbo is captain now. Are you watching Mr Marsh!!!
It was the attempted kick on his calf before the shirt grabbing that earned him that
4minutes. come on!!
What does Cahill have to do to be captian?
Looks a great role model off the pitch and shows so much passion on it.

I reckon Moysie reads Toffeeweb - Osman then Hibbo as captain, eh?
YAK
Who should've been on the back post for their goal?
Bad result. Really need three points in these games.
Aye. These are the games you need to win to clinch 4 or 5.
Never really get that feeling of progression with a result like this.
You just know the Sky 4, Spurs and probably Villa would've all got a home win against Stoke today.

That was a stressfull 90 mins flicking between links. At least Beattie didn't score though. With regards to who should have been on the back post for their goal, isn't it the full-back who should cover that? Not wanting to have a pop at big Tone...
Paul, not sure if Hibbo can be blamed for not marking Robert Huth.
Anyway, it is not the goal that mattered today, but the fact we didn't put our chances away. 2 points dropped, no doubt about it. Thank god Ossie popped up to get a point for us. That literally came out of nowhere. That was the finest strike I have seen at GP for a long long time.

Don't get me wrong, Dan I'm not blaming Hibbo for their goal, it was just a thought about who should be on the line. I agree it was a great goal from Osman
On the lighter side of the news, the Shite are 1 down.
