Metalist V Everton Arm Chair Report!
Comments (0)
Took me ages but I finally found Channel 5 on the box, the reception wasn?t great but who cares, dinner on the table, Guinness chilling in the fridge and 90 minutes of quality European ahead involving Everton FC! Shame the quality came from the opposition and not Everton!
Right from the off I thought to myself don?t Everton play in Blue? what the hell is going on then!? Were being played off the park, mama! Metalist right up until they scored their first goal were simply brilliant and completely toying with their supposedly superior Premiership opposition! 1-0 ahead on the night and 2-1 overall the tie was still wide open though they way the game was going I was thinking of another nightmare night just like the last time we played in Europe! Thankfully not!
Metalist's attacking mindset seemed to go a bit luke warm after scoring, though they were still far superior with their passing and the ?hoof the ball? tactics employed from Moyes was clearly an embarring sight to behold, I still felt we had the professions to overcome what in truth are a European side that should have given us no more than a couple of warm up games for the UEFA Cup Proper!
Simply put though, if you don?t retain the ball the opposition does and apart from glimpses of Areta and Victor Anichebe we looked very amateurish! The game played out very well though and we got through I believe because Metalist were incapable of finishing us off! Had the opposition being Barcelona I think we as Evertonians would be more understanding but come on Moyes, football is an art, any monkey can kick a ball up in the air and hope for the best but surely when your at the level of a club like Everton the demand, need, and absolute necessity of having a passing game is so well documented that if you cannot employ it that your not the man for the job anymore!
And ELEVEN million pounds would have being better saved to help Everton get the redevelopment of Goodison or another alternative to Kirby instead of funding other premiership clubs!! The Yak attack if full of lack and slaps of cack! All in all we got were we wanted to go but im tired of this mismanagement!
