Big Big Game...
Comments (156)
This is a massive game. Not because it's against moneybags City, who are finally producing the kind of consistency their owners paid for ages ago, but because Everton's improving form really needs to deliver a positive result (and by that I mean a WIN — not another well fought draw!).
Please post the team news below and any internet links for those of you who can't get to the match or can't watch it live.

I'll start by apologising for going on about the Redshite but just had to borrow a phrase from the Simpsons and say a big HA HA! Rafa turns the air Blue!
That result has got my afternoon off to a great start. Here's to a good game later and three points for us. Let's keep it going from last week lads, show them all it takes more than just money to make a team!
'AVE IT!!!!!
Howard, Baines, Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov, Saha, Donovan, Distin, Cahill, Neville, Pienaar, Fellaini, Subs: Nash, Vaughan, Forshaw, Baxter, Mustafi, Coleman, Duffy
A Win indeed! COYB!
That bench is unreal!
That wasn’t my formation guys - it was copied directly from the OS!
Does anyone else think that the return for Distin is too soon. Also it seems Osman is injured. Lets hope Bily puts in a decent shift today. Not looking at the bench with much confidence. Hopefully we wont need it. I feel a 4-0 victory
Afternoon ladies and gents.

Will be watching live on Fox here in Houston - I’m dreading the continuous "fawning" by the commentators over Tevez et al already.......
Can anyone work out who’s playin centre mid with Fellaini? Hope to god it isn’t Cahill!
The bench is unreal but what can you do with an injury list of Areta, Jags, Hibbert, Gosling, Rodders, Anichebe and seems like Osman too.
Add to that Yobo and Yak away.
Still a strong first 11 and I expect 3 points.

Andrew, lad - say what you mean!
No Lucas Neill - nor on the bench, strange one that - has his head been turned then!!!!!!!
I think DM learnt his lesson since the Arsenal humilation.
Yobo's just done his hamstring playing for Nigeria in the African Nations Cup... looks bad... more injury misery.
I wonder if Neill will be paraded around the ground so we can give him the warm applause he deserves

Working ok currently.

Wasn’t Yobo injured when he left for AFCON? Messus Moyes wont be very impressed with that decision. Time for a new CB. Why did we selll Neill???
You think we sold Neill because we are getting Sendoros?
Maybe Senderos will arrive until the Summer then Kilgallon signs.
Neill was out of contract come July and DM wasn’t prepared to offer him the duration of contract that Gala were.

"Messus Moyes"..??? I’ve heard him called a lot of names... what’s that one then?
I think if w can stop tevez scoring we have a good enough team to win this, santa cruz is not all that.
sorry michael meant to be "Messrs" Allow me the slip up, it is 4:30 am in Sydney
Fox Sports in the States just showed our formation as 4-3-2-1.... is that correct?
Peter, I would gladly swap Jo for Santa Cruz....

Pienaar in the middle? Expecting big things

I hope Distin is ready for this after being out.
Afternoon all....tonight we show the Shite how to do it.
And may I say I have had such a good week at their expense.

Can’t go wrong with veetle.com for a stream.
We don’t look too good thus far.
Great stuff from Donovan there
iraqs back :)
great ball by Landon
Why roll it to Pip, he’s only going to blast it about 50 yds upfield
atdhe.com is good with several options
Good pressure
Pienaar’s not having as much influence over the game as I thought he would in the middle. He’s playing Fellaini’s role but isn’t as good as him at it.
This is good so far - despite a dick of a commentator on my stream
That’s Barry’s second dive!
World class from Bily!
We’re knocking on the door and it sounds like Tevez has a problem.
Great stuff from Everton...have to convert one of these chances
I reckon Mancini said fight and they can’t now they have left Moss Side.
And how good is Donovan for a short loan? Find me a manager who could find such a deal ?

A joy to watch again thusfar...
Tevez off soon it appears
Bily’s been useful so far
YES!!!!!!! Peanuts!!!1
YEAHHHH!!! What a shot!
Oh yes, oh yes, this is a game that we are going to win, rather than Man City loosing
What a cheeky freekick
Much deserved. Great goal.
Yeas !!!!
We are back !
All over them.
Told you we’d show the Shite how to do it !
Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we need another quickly.

Fellaini is imperious today
Fellaini has been rock, really showing the Citeh who is the boss.
Where’s Arteta going to play when he’s fit? Right Midfield when Donovan goes maybe.
City haven’t had a corner yet :)
so close billy
We need a second to convert the pressure
YES!!!! Great call
Call for what?
The Penalty 2-0
damn iraqgoals just went down!
HAHH HAAAA!!!!!!
This is stupendous
This is stupendous
Cheeky freekick, cheeky penalty
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THere is the 2nd goal we deserve
THere is the 2nd goal we deserve
I know Raymond, that’s why I asked what the call was for. Is it 2-0?
What a half..........Best we’ve played all season.
woo-hoo, who took the pen?
wonderful half guys.... may it last!!!!
Mighty performance,more of the same 2nd half lads.Great stuff.
All superlatives, this is the form of champions let alone top four. Every Blue on the pitch is doing well.
saha with a cheeky pen apparently (from bbc)
This has been a joy to watch.
Saha chipped it right up the middle after the goalie dived left
Missed the pen as my link crashed just before as well
Best we have played all season, so far!

This is pure class from the boys. Just got to keep it going for another 45 minutes...
Thanks for fixing Everton, Jimmy
Good stuff so far... tearing them a new one. Forward movement far better form Everton, some excellent driven ground balls to feet, Pienaar’s for the penalty. Excellent stuff.
Keep it tight for first 15. Playing them of the park
Andrew...try ATDHE.com
it’s off for 1/2 time but there’s been no gaps so far in 1st half. I’m on their thrd link option.
May be the broadband connection in each of our areas or computer though.

The best move of the game... Neville step-over. Wow.
We are bossing everywhere, but need to be careful of their counter-attack, wich came close to scoring before our 2nd. The long ball is working today because Cahill is in his natural poistion and helping Saha. We are reading the gamevery well and are always first to the drop. Would like to see a bit more of Donovan, and would like Bily to convert a chance, not that he wasted any. Need 2 more for comfort
Excellent!
I can’t get atdhe to come up at all and veetle and iraq are down
Watching the game on ESPN, we are bang up for this. City look shit scared, have to say the big Fella has been fucking excellent!!!!! I was a big critic of him, but you’ve proved me wrong bigtime. He looks like a 30 million pound player today brilliant display. Bily playing well, Donavan very clever and inventive and Johnny and Distin looking solid. Com'on lads, go for the 3rd and 4th don’t sit back second half, COYB
That was a cracking first half performance and I thought Felli was immense. Players look like they are enoying themselves out there and the 2-0 lead is well deserved. This reminds me of the enjoyment watching Everton during my youth. Confident play, winning the midfield battle, training ground moves coming off. I just hope we go out in the second half now and totally destroy and demoralise them. Only problem is the money men from the East will be writing the words of Felliani and Pienaar in their little black books.
Also glad to see officials with some nuts.

Felli utterly awesome - as good an all round midfield display as the Premier League will see from anyone all season. Absolutely world class. Moyes has Bily picking up the pace and the energy levels now and looking great. Pienaar as ever, and Cahill closer to his annoying best. Please let’s not release our grip on this!
Definitely can’t become complacent with this lead. Need to keep the intensity up.
Watching Fox Sports through sopcast and is perfect. If struggling use that!
Good link here as well

Mancini has promised to bring in a new face during the current transfer window...Tevez & Lescott have being fighting over it!!!

Tevez out! That helps...
Tevez still on...not sure who came off
I love being a blue. Love it. Why would anybody support anybody else? The big Fella is everywhere. We have a Viera who scores. The noughties are going to be good to us...enjoy the ride boys!

Getting it on with the play
We’ll Put ’em Under Pressure

Matt, you know the noughties are over now don’t you?
Thanks Mark
Cheers Richard.
Even with this performance we’ll be last on Match of the Day...well maybe not last, we are playing Man City

Man City are pressuring for the ball, they’ve started to chase everything
Listen here.
This is just a little side we are playing. Moyes is still crap. The team are rubbish. We play hoof ball. BK is satan.
Don’t get carried away.

Computer went to shit, how we doing second half??
Robinho off...lol. Why did they sign that tool?
Distin and Heitinga are unsung here.
Ged, is that you?
Ned’s long lost brother?
I’ll fix it for you to get in the simpsons too!

Man City doing better, pressuring but not really creating chances. We’re a little off the boil, but actually hanging on to the ball quite well. We look comfortable.
Homer’s been asking after you!
cheers Will
Even the commentators are criticizing Robinho. How much did he cost? He didn’t like playing here today, even for 15 mins.
COYB!
COYB!
@Garry - thanks mate!! I’m not that drunk, honest!
Jimmy...it is
With SWP on there’s virtually no risk of Man City attempting to cross the ball in from any one other than Barry and Bellamy and so far we’re keeping them out of mischieve
Spell of City possession...no soft goals please
They have too much of the ball for me, lets get back on it blues
lovely pressure, saha making up for his mistake
Fellaini: Like having 2 Carsleys!
He’s been monumental today.
He’s been monumental today.
Coleman on for Distin (limping a bit). Coleman to RB
How much did Coleman cost again?
Coleman cost about what’s in Robinho’s weekly pay packet
Coleman cost around £200k, I think
150k for Seamus!!
Cahill off the crossbar...should be like 4-0
The woodwork has been Citys best player
Roberto Mancini with excellent control of the ball there!
This is great stuff - we look a proper team!
Heitinga has been worth a mention in the past 2 games. He's slotted in like he’s been here for years. Hats off to him. Agree?
OMG fellaini...that was something off of a videogame!
my goodness, Felliani with that little turn. Genius!
Top Showboat Felli!!!!
Truly Magnificent Performance from the Gadger!!
Truly Magnificent Performance from the Gadger!!
Fellaini was Zindane-esque there,i love it!!!
That spin around Bellamy was great.
Big Fell has come into his own.
Last 2 weeks we look unreal - should be top the table. :0)

Tek the piss lads!

Agree Viv...hats off to the whole team today, coaching staff, physios...everybody
And Seamus Coleman, the new Cafu???
Ha Ha, I look forward to seeing that again on Soccer Am. This must be a different person from the ’useless headless chicken’ I couldnt stand a few months ago!!!
Sorry Roberto...can’t play Wolves, Blackburn, Middlesbro every week!
Fairplay to the crowd as well 12th man today, great atmosphere.
I’m made up. This must be best performance I have seen this season! Fellaini is the man!
Joined up football me thinks
Great performance, 3 points, clean sheet, happy days!
Fellaini beyond discription. Great team effort!!!
How did we get that man for only £15 million?

When was the last time he predicted a Blues victory and a Liverpool defeat?
Hope he is correct.
