Everton v Blackburn Rovers
Comments (45)
Good to see Baines get a debut, but somewhat shocked to see Lescott dropped to the bench.
Stubbs is going to struggle with the pacy Blackburn frontline, and Jags has not been given a start again, would like to have seen Hibbert make way after some suspect performances.
Fingers very much crossed today!

Very worrying. We are playing shit.

We?re gonna lose this if we carry on playing like this, we?re fuckin awful.
Whats going on with Yakubu? I hear the Manny deal is pretty much done.
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 17:45:16
Sounds like they are all over us!
Gavin Harris
Posted 25/08/2007 at 17:45:14
Yak needs a work permit so will be signing next week now.
Faddy is awful again. We need to ship him off in jan and get someone else in, we cant trust this guy to do well.
Cant believe lescott, pienar and jaga arent in.

Hopefully see Lescott on for Stubbs and Pienaar for Hibbert in the 2nd half.

I dunno how it sounds, but watching it we?re terrible.

Stuart Mitchell

Jags is coming on early
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 17:57:23
Beattie just scored for Sheff Utd!!
Gavin Harris
Posted 25/08/2007 at 17:57:57
Carsley off for jaga.
Stuart Mitchell

Lescott warming up now
Gavin Harris
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:00:03
We need more attacking flair. I say take off neville and bring on pienar.
Allan Hobbs
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:00:52
Stubbs is carrying an injury apparently.
stuart mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:02:02
not sure why Stubbs even started ahead of Lescott in the first place.
Hibbert just made a clumsy challenge, aren’t they all from him!!
Get Hibbert off, Pienaar on. Put Neville at right back.

Sopcast - google sopcast download and then download the sopcast app, its only a little app. Then open it and login as anonymous (default) then go to the channel list and choose starsports - voila! Everton v Blackburn, its about 4 minutes behind but good feed for this game.
In the future if you want links to ALL premiership games, even the 3 o clock ones on a Saturday, go to freefootball.org and get yourself a free login - then look for moderators links on matchdays, these are usually found by clicking a moderators signature on the forums. Then you can watch every game free. There are other apps too like tvants etc.
Enjoy the second half!

What a joke. We are so moderate. Get Hibbert off for god sake
Moses Amofo
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:09:15
Watching the game. We are rubbish. Why is Hibbert there? And if Carsley had a slight knock before ko, like they have stated, then why play him at the start? If Stubbs goes off injured and Lescott comes on, then we will only have 1 attacking substitution to make. Come on boys! Turn this one around!
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:12:32
Cheers for that info, just downloaded it
is it meant to be showing nothing now, does it come back on in the 2nd half?
Allan Hobbs
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:21:27
Have you clicked on star sports in the channel list? Im watching it now. If you have a login for the freefootball.org forum, click on the efc v blackburn link and hit the click the moderators signature (west ham thing) and look down his list of links for the game, click the first sopcast one and it?ll get the channel for you.

By the way, zero creativity in midfield and totally and utterly toothless up front - that about sums us up. We couldn't score in a brothel today.
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:36:07
I cannot find any channel for star sports!
Gavin Harris
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:36:38
God this is depressing. I think anyone who says faddy is good enough for the PL needs to go to a doctor. The guy is useless.
Why not take off hibbo for Pienar? Doesn’t moyes trust him?
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:38:28
Anchiebie on for Hibbert
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:42:49
Osman has taken Johnson out!
Chris White
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:40:42
AJ is getting dominated out there... Our shot selection has been suspect all day.
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:44:19
I have uninstalled it!
Allan Hobbs
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:48:29
I?ve been using sopcast for over a year with no problems, I suggest you find another download from somewhere else mate.
Nowt wrong wi sopcast I tell ya!
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:48:18
Neville and Johnson are both carrying knocks now!
I just want to write todays game off as a bad memory.
We need Fernandes and Yakubu starting out next game
Allan Hobbs

You need to get a freefootball.org forum login and look for the link which you can find in the efc v blackburn game thread. Click on the moderators signature, the west ham thing and you?ll find the links in there, just click the sopcast ones. I did say all this up there ^^^^^^^

Anichebe has a bad limp.
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:55:36
78 - GOAL!: McFadden volleys home a superb equaliser from Arteta’s cross, getting in front of the Blackburn defence to fire the ball beyond Friedel at his near post
Stuart Mitchell
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:56:11
Let's go get the winner now, looking more up for it
Allan Hobbs
Posted 25/08/2007 at 18:56:30
Anichebe is ALWAYS limping; continuously injured that boy.
Gavin Harris

FT 1-1
Much better in the 2nd half, shows Moyes made some major mistakes in picking his first 11.
Mark Pendleton
Posted 25/08/2007 at 19:22:38
Shocking. I am in utter disbelief that we spent almost the whole 90 minutes (well, probably the 75 after they scored) playing route one football, bypassing our midfield and playing the ball onto the head of a 6’5" grock of a defender or into their keepers hands.
We scored through good movement. Why didn’t we try and play through them? Pienaar, Arteta, Ossie and Cars or Phil in midfield.
On a plus side, thought that Jags and especially Baines looked the dogs. That back 5 including the keeper should be together for many years (although to be honest i think Hibbo is the weak link by far and i hate saying that).

I have a number of points with todays game am based in Iraq and i have jusy watched the game am supporting the mighty blues from this end of the world
A, why does Moyes keep playing Tony Hibbert at RB when Neville can do a better job and as a better passing rate until we find someone better
B, why was Lescott droped to the bench, when Stubbs was found wanting against Samba and other Blackburn players
C, why do we always play the long ball when the game doesnt go are way, we should be winning games like this not chasing the game for the best part on 70 mins,
D, and can some tell me whats happening with Yak and Manny we always get news papers late and very rarely get the internet to work

Sell McFadden for 3m to Derby get the Barcelona striker Ezquerro in to replace him on a Bosman. Johnson is so out of touch. Jagielka looked good though. Lescott is class why was he dropped.
