Jo looks sharp..

Nick Entwistle

Jo’s looking good already... two key passes nicely done

rob lyons
12 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:04:18

Ajay Gopal
13 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:09:11

fantastic start

Ajay Gopal
16 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:10:26

Jo is looking good so far !

All our attacking is from the left side.

Although Neville did put in a decent cross from the right.

Jamie Crowley
17 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:08:27

We look good. jo shoulda buried that.... But he’s still looking good as well.

roblyons
18 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:16:42

We are playing very well, gosling and baines looking good down the flanks, jo looks like he will score for sure.... come on boys!!

Michael de Klerk
19 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:15:28

Looking really good... need that first goal though. Jo’s looking confident and settled.

Jimmy Crack
20 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:24:26

oh come on Jo!!

Jamie Crowley
21 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:17:12

AHHHH!!! JOOOOOOOO!
Jeezuz hit the net already!

Rezzie Flanders
22 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:21:50

He’s onside!! He’s...

Arghhhh... next one, Jo.

Looking good.

Simon Dunne
23 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:25:05

this is getting annoying

Ajay Gopal
24 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:17:04

Should have been up 3-0 by now.

Martin Beesley
25 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:17:16

Cheers Davie... Playing well, this is good stuff

rob lyons
26 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:25:08

weak foot remember he will score today we are playing good stuff here it comes.........

Jimmy Crack
27 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:24:52

A couple things:

Baines is clearly missing Pienaar on the left

I like Gosling; he’s messed up a couple times and been caught out of position but he always tracks back and never backs off

Jo!!! So frustrating he’s clearly not at his sharpest but I see potential. He’s linking up well with the midfield.

Ant Welsh
28 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:33:22

Is Jo short for Joey Deacon by any chance ?

Simon Dunne
29 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:35:32

shandy for osman please..

he’s been stinkin

rob lyons
30 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:38:06

simon... standard throw away comment, osman has done nothing wrong everyone playing really well... AVM has done nothing to warrant coming on... pick on osman time last week or so what a joke!!

Rezzie Flanders
31 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:39:18

YESSSSS!!!!

Penalty!! Gotta give it!!!!

Davie Turner
32 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:40:28

Think Osman played well.

Come on Teta!

rob lyons
33 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:40:22

peno come on artata

Stuart MItchell
34 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:40:00

GET IN THERE MIKEL!! Great pen

Jo is looking like a great signing and the team is playing as good as I have seen them in a long time.

Andrew Bankes
35 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:37:50

Christ on a bike fellas! Give the Jo a break! He’s played less than 45 minutes and already you’re getting on his back!!!

Nick Dommett
36 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:41:48

get in there!!!

Nick Entwistle
37 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:06:16

D I V E !

I don’t like it, but nice to have the lead we deserve, if undeservedly taken.

Ajay Gopal
38 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:36:39

Yeah, get in !!!!

Simon Dunne
39 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:39:25

get in..so close for two..

Roger Trenwith
40 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:42:13

Who is the co-commemtator? For once we’ve got someone praising us for playing good footy. Good on yer mate!

Jo looks good - a penno Stevie la would be proud of!

Ajay Gopal
41 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:42:49

We must have had more than 95% possession !

Jimmy Crack
42 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:45:50

Fantastic first half! We should be up by 3 at least

Ralph Wetzels
43 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:47:22

Outstanding first half.

Jamie Crowley
44 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:24:57

Can we do this every weekend? We look fantastic IMO! More the same in the 2nd half please.

Nick Dommett
45 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:44:20

bloody hell!

We looked a damn good footballing side that half: played some good stuff on the deck.

Maybe we should warm up fro every saturday with a mid-week 120 min match....

Jake Gordon
46 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:46:28

Great first half, only complaint that we’re not out of sight.

One to ponder maybe - Jo seems to have slotted in a whole lot easier than Screech when he first arrived, probably backs up the point people made in his defence at the time that it’s a whole lot easier to come into a team that’s playing well.

Dean Johnson
47 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:47:57

great first half, Jo looks useful and the rest are just stroking it around with ease at times.

No breaks just great football, brilliant

Rezzie Flanders
48 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:42:11

Should be 3 - 0 at least.

This is some of the loveliest football I’ve seen out of the Blues in how long?? COYB!!

Love the pace, love the problems Jo creates. Amazing that you can feel the confidence right through the match.

Brian Waring
49 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:47:01

Deffo contact for the pen, has Jo been taking lessons from the Yak?

Jamie Barlow
50 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:48:07

The best first half i’ve seen in a long time. Jo is playing really well.

Ajay Gopal
51 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:45:47

Lads, is this the best 45 minutes of football by Everton this season ?

Should have been at least 4-0 at the break, but 1-0 is better than 0-0 !

Dave Childs
52 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:48:24

A commentator who is praising us.
Champagne footy by the Toffee men.
A loan signing who has potential.
1-0 at the break
Brill! Could not by happier
COYB

rob lyons
53 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:48:53

15 shots to their 1 and we have only scored a peno... great team performance from every player but we should have at least 2 goals.... so anyone not happy with this!!!

Davie Turner
54 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:46:50

Excellent first half performance, sorry but no doubt about the penalty, a bit theatric maybe, but a penalty it was.

Jo played very well, bit rusty maybe but looking to be enjoying himself, when he gets his first for Everton, on this first half performance there will be more to come.

Jags been excellent, Gosling apart from one almost big error passing back is playing well again.

8 shots on target, 6 off target, it just a wonder that it only 1-0.

Arteta’s penalty separates us from the Trotters. If the second half follows the first though in terms of possession and chances for the Royal Blues, there will be more to come.

Great first half, COYB!

Martin Beesley
55 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:47:57

yes fantastic first half performance, could be atleast 3-0.. should be no negative comments from anyone, Osman is playing well and Jo has made a good debut especially as he’s not played for weeks..

Paul Lally
56 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:48:45

co commentator is -

’Who needs Cantona
When we’ve got Barry Horne’

COYB

Paul Davey
57 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:52:55

great first half, should be 4-0 up, but team is playing with confidence, what more can we ask for.

bring on shandy.

Nick Entwistle
58 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:51:37

Barry Horn is the co-com.

Hopefully we can get 1 more as we may tire in the second half.
Everone is on a 7 or more. Good stuff, c’mon you blues!

Nick Marsh
59 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:48:52

Osmans first touch, by his standards, has not been good and there have been 1 or 2 stray passes but lets not forget his pass to set Bains away in the first 2 minutes and the space he keeps working for himself, he is unlucky not to be on the score sheet and is working very hard. This is a great performance. Jo hardly played for 4 months but it does not look like it. The highlight for me is the first time passing, not seen it this much for a long time at goodison. coyb

Peter Roberts
60 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:51:56

Jo looks good, if he could have a bit more conviction and confidence in his shooting he could be another bargain acquisition from the Moyes.

Simon Dunne, lay off Osman mate. I think he’s played well. In fact, all 11 of our players are playing well. If I had to single out one player to take off it’d be Gosling. Sometimes he’s taking too long on the ball.

No matter though. My concern was whether we’d have anything left in the tank after Wednesday. On the showing so far I’d say we have buckets left. This has been such an impressive performance so far that if we keep it up, I can see it being 3 or 4-0, Bolton just cannot get in the game.

And I hope finally people are waking up to why Neville’s been put in midfield. With Mikky around him to dictate from the centre he can assume a Carsley-esque role breaking up and distributing to Mikky, Leon or Bainesy.

Roger Trenwith
61 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:55:30

Barry Horne - I remember him, not a bad player.

We need to get the second goal quickly, then I think we’re gonna stuff the Trotters. COYB.

sean condon
62 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:52:11

Best we have played since...last winter? the last bit of ’95-’96? ’88? Sheee-it, I know that the opposition is poor but this has been magnificent.

Garry Corgan
63 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:58:16

Excellent performance so far but let’s not get carried away. It’s only 1-0 and it’s goals and points that count...

Clive Cox
64 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:00:04

Dont know about you lot but im itching for Jo to score......Just to get that confidence going again

sean condon
65 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:58:15

I always seem to get either Barry Horne or Joe Royle as the color guy. Such a nice alternative to Robbie Earle.

Anybody know where I can find G Sharp’s reaction to Gosling’s goal online? I’ve looked but can’t seem to find it.

Davie Turner
66 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:04:16

Jo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2-0 = D

Jamie Crowley
67 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:01:39

WOW!!! Jeezuz, Mary and Joseph!

GO JO

Jake Gordon
68 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:05:01

Could he teach me to do that please?? Get in!!!!

Rezzie Flanders
69 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:03:17

Jo!! Jo!! Jo!! Jo!!

GET IN THERE!! JO!!!!

Nick Dommett
71 Posted 07/02/2009 at 15:56:25

wow ho!!!!

Jo!!!! great control!

rob lyons
72 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:04:17

im going to stick my neck out and say that i think Jo will be better than the yak he works more, better touch and when he finds the net will score as many, hang me on this later but i will be right

sean condon
73 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:07:55

Oh, that was quality!!! Fuck yes!!!

Garry Corgan
74 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:08:37

Okay now we can sit back and enjoy the afternoon

clive Cox
75 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:08:00

Took it brilliantly......Man City fans would have u believe he is useless!!!!

Robert Jones
76 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:08:48

Fucking quality, been that good to watch I’ve had trouble tearing myself away from the screen to post. I agree that Jo will be better than the Yak if he continues like this

Paul davey
77 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:09:13

what a goal.

rob lyons
78 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:10:23

shit spoke too soon missed his goal as i was saying how i thought jo would be better than yak, problem man city will want him back!!!

Robert Jones
79 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:12:46

It’s just gone off air for me :|

Robert Jones

Robert Jones
93 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:21:01

Good play by Arteta and so close by Gosling

Jimmy Crack

Try pressing stop on the stream below it

Jamie Barlow

Nice one lads. Back on.

Jimmy Crack
96 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:22:21

A little more power in that left foot of his and Gosling would have had a beautiful goal

Jimmy Crack
97 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:23:25

Would love to see Rodwell get another decent run out...not another 2 minutes in injury time

Nick Dommett
98 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:27:04

cheers!

its back but its really stop and start at the moment. better than nothing!

Gerard Harkin
99 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:29:34

subs please davy...

Ajay Gopal
100 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:28:21

Not looking good now. Moyes needs to make some substitutions NOW !

Rodwell for Osman, & AvDM for Jo maybe.

Garry Corgan
101 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:30:34

Rodwell’s been warming up and Moyes has just told him to get ready...

Robert Jones
102 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:30:54

WTF has Jo done to deserve a substitution Ajay??

Garry Corgan
103 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:33:44

And Rodwell’s on...

Garry Corgan
104 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:35:11

..for Cahill no less!

Robert Jones
105 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:34:25

Cahill off FFS Why not Osman?!

Nick Entwistle
106 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:21:37

The ref is great today... some could have been card happy but this one is doing the ’sensible’ refereeing options

Nick Dommett
107 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:34:23

what just got substituted?!?

I’m getting a 2 sec burst here and there and then it fast forwards by 30 sec!

Robert Jones
108 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:37:19

Nick - Rodwell on for Cahill

Garry Corgan
109 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:35:33

Van der Meyde stripping off now, as well as a third substitute. Couldn’t who it was though.

Robert Jones
110 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:38:38

I’d guess at Baxter maybe on for Osman and pushing up

Garry Corgan
111 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:38:26

Joseph Yobo now on for Baines

Robert Jones
112 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:39:41

So Lescott over to the left to break up his superb partnerships with Jags.

I don’t understand Moyes’ mind

Davie Turner
113 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:40:34

Baines off for Yobo.

I think the lads are tiring visibly after midweek and how they have played today, must admit, hugely impressed with the fitness they have shown.

Jay Wilson
114 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:41:27

Good god, thereis ten minutes left, winning comfortabley. He is keeping Yobo happy by giving him game time. It is called man management.

Garry Corgan
115 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:41:01

Van der Meyde coming on for Arteta

Jimmy Crack
116 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:46:19

Calm down kiddys....

scott.jenner
117 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:43:27

Robert Jones you truely are an idiot. We are winning 2-0 so Moyes is giving some of our key players a break. Why are you moaning at what moyes is doing? Cahill, Arteta and Baines have run thier bollocks off over the last couple of weeks so surley it is better to give them a rest. Whether Osman is playing bad or not makes no difference today! Just enjoy the fact we are wiining and stop looking for pointless things to moan about!!

Come on Everton!!!!!!!!!

Nick Dommett
118 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:37:19

when was the last time we were given 2 penalities in a game?

Davie Turner
119 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:51:49

Everton 3-0 Bolton

Jo deserves his two goals today, very well taken pen.

Robert Jones
120 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:49:12

What difference is 10 minutes going to make? And fwiw I didn’t say a thing about Arteta coming on but I’d rather have had Osman off for Baxter (with Baxter pushing up into Cahills role) and then Yobo on for either Jags or Lescott who have also run hteir bollocks off because Baines was making some fantastic runs.

Anyway twas a brilliant game and a goal!! GTF in there.

Jason Lam
121 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:54:46

YES!! Well done the blues. JO!!!!!!

Nick Dommett
122 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:52:58

liked that a lot.

A stress free game where we were never threatened.

Not a bad debut either from Jo ;) Loved how all the players afterwards went up to him to congratulate him. great spirit there

Ralph Wetzels
123 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:56:58

Great win. Another 3 points and a clean sheet. Good debut from Jo. I hope he continues like this.

Colin Ryan
124 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:51:17

Great win but we can forget about catching Villa....Its Chelsea who’s champions league spot we should be looking for!!Another Moyes masterstroke bringing in Jo!!

Jimmy Crack
125 Posted 07/02/2009 at 17:00:55

I had a really good feeling about Jo, but I didn’t think he’d make his debut that quickly and that well!

Chris Webb
126 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:57:49

Well that was a superb performance, especially in the first half. Really enjoyed that today boys i think we are looking quality at the moment. The back 4 is the most solid i can remember. Arteta was superb in the centre and Jo played excellant for someone who has hardly played, shame his cup-tied!!

Roll on next weekend i can not wait!!

Dan Brierley
127 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:45:15

Osman has done well today, I am made up for him considering the criticism he has received.

I agree, he hasnt been on form for a while. But today, he proved he is a valuable member of the team. He can play good football with the ball at his feet.

Excellent performance, the best of the season for me. We completely destroyed Bolton today, 14 shots on target!!!

The confidence is flowing, and the defence is completely solid. But with Villa still winning, I dont think we can catch them now. I think there is no dispute now, Everton Football Club are a very good side, with plenty of youth in order to maintain this for years to come. Truly great times to be a blue, I am so proud! David Moyes, I salute you for bringing us days like this.

Kase Chow
128 Posted 07/02/2009 at 16:57:55

Get in there you blue beauties!!!

Robert Jones, I don’tthink you’ve ever played the game to a decent level have you? Got to keep some players happy and 10 mins isn’t ’breaking up the partnership

It’s very premature but I’d say buy Jo depending on how much he’d cost. The bloke looked brilliant and you can tell that there’s more to come. He’s like a younger Saha that’s hungry. This could be a real bargain depending on the price.

BRILLIANT performance. Good work lads!!

john sreet
129 Posted 07/02/2009 at 17:10:10

Scott, Aide, thank you very much for the link......................brilliant, and what a performance................everybody hapy tonight!

Brett Bradshaw
130 Posted 07/02/2009 at 17:11:16

Top 6, 3 goals, clean sheet, tonnes of chances and a class goal that reminds me of Bergkamp (V Newcastle)

The best game of the day so far, so where will MOTD have us billed..?

Jimmy Crack
131 Posted 07/02/2009 at 17:14:01

Well the high of beating Liverpool midweek surely kicked in today, great performance from the lads, especially 1st half! great debut from Jo today, those 2 goals will do him the world of good, maybe could of had his hat trick if Arteta would of give him the 1st pen but 2 goals from him, carnt complain, shame villa keep fucking winning, not next week though, we’ll just have to challenge Arsenal and Chelsea for fourth!! COYB!!

We were different class without the Useless Hairmop. Hope to Christ Moyes sees the error of his ways and keeps the fouler out. Our midfield was awesome today and Osman worked his bollocks off!

It shows you just how fickle some of our fans are, last week before Jo has kicked even a ball for us he was branded waster - this time its Fellaini’s turn...

Out of words...

Jo is having a Kevin Campbell like start to his Everton career. Just what we needed.

It was only 3 weeks ago that Moyes was called all the names under the sun because Fellaini got a booking against Hull. Apparently we couldn?t get a result without him... now, he?s a "Useless Hairmop"!!! I just can?t believe it, we have to have someone to slag off, Fellaini didn?t even play and he?s got it in the neck from one of the muppets... cue Stephen Stuart claiming we?ve never been this bad,..we should be ashamed...kill Kenwright...hang draw and quarter Moyes...etc etc

It was a fantastic performance... I?m over the moon and I have no players to critisise.... would you believe it.

You know who I really hate?? Carlo Nash.

I mean, what the fuck has he done since he got here? Sit on the bench. And have you seen the way he sits? It’s pathetic! What a waste of space. Get rid. Nash / Moyes out.

Portsmouth v Liverpool
West Brom v Newcastle
Blackburn v Aston Villa
Everton v Bolton
Chelsea v Hull
Sunderland v Stoke
Man City v Middlesbrough
Wigan v Fulham

MotD running order if anyone interested.

Apparently the Portsmouth v RS game is going to have an unbelievable second half and the pundits want to play guess the formation.

Was that journo who DM blanked from sky? Just looking on the SSN website and there is no mention of our dominant performance and no DM interview, but megson is on there.

To all those slagging off Moyes. Can I point out how much of a great decision he made to take off two of our most experienced seniors players, Neville and Fellaini, for Jack Rodwell, a 17-year-old and Danny Gosling for a 19-year-old. Even Sir Alex who, let's be honest, is a great manager, has complimented him on decisions.

I remeber being slated for saying we should sign Jo.

I?ll hold my hand up and apologize for saying I didn?t think Jo would set Goodison alight but today I was happily proven wrong, great touches both first and second. His first half nerves and missed chances were soon put behind him with some great moves, including the pens and his excellent goal in open play where he turned his defender good and proper and finished really well. If City have any more like him, let?s go for them too, he looked really up for it and also keen to play with and for his team mates. Early days I know but looks like a good one so far

Jimmy Crack top post, lol.
Roll on Villa ? the new "top 4, super team", the new darlings of the press, the new England saviours, Martin O?Neill ? the new Jose Mourino... Let's fuckin twat them!

146 Posted 07/02/2009 at 23:35:40

Upson in the England team AHEAD of Lescott? WHAT?! G Johnson ahead of Bains?! Fuck off Capello... and no Arteta for Spain? Is this a fucking joke? And let?s all be honest, Osman [even though he isn?t the best] is playing miles better than Downing and based on form should be picked ahead of him ? But I guess I don?t get paid £10million per hour and get knocked out of qualifying rounds to make those type of decisions!

Robert Jones
147 Posted 08/02/2009 at 01:11:58

With the way he?s been playing over the last few weeks Frank I?d put Hibbert ahead of Luke Young and Glen Johnson as well. Still can?t believe that Lescott, Baines and Arteta haven?t been called up to their respective squads either. Can?t say I agree as far as Osman's form being better than Downing's form is concerned, as much as I like the lad he has been pretty poor recently.

Doug Walters
148 Posted 07/02/2009 at 20:54:21

Do we have an option to buy Jo like we did with all the loan signings that we have signed over the last few years? Because I would snap him up right now because he has played better in one match for us than in 6 months for City.

Michael Hunt
149 Posted 08/02/2009 at 06:00:57

Doug and Ste: Moyes said in interview on EvertonTV (just after we signed Jo ?on loan?) when questioned if we had option to sign him permanently:

"I believe there is something there, buit I?m not too concerned about that now".

Well, I imagine he is now checking the small print already!

(Jo also said that ?If Everton want me I?d be delighted to stay beyond the end of next season?)

Obviously if Jo continues to perform for us there should be no doubt that we will allow him to join the wonderful Everton family on a more permanent basis... swap for Big Vic no problem!

Frank, Johnson ahead of Baines? Johnson plays right back, Baines is a left back.

On another note: no manager would pick 1 club's entire back 4, that would just be plain daft, so it was inevitable that people from our squad would miss out. I doubt that Hibbert will ever be picked for England (Carragher anyone!?) and Baines is unlikely too with Ashley Cole & Wayne Bridge ahead of him in the pecking order.

You can?t ignore Jags so he?s defo in, Lescott has been good in the last few games but not in every game ? he?s been prone to the odd error which has been covered up by Jags in a number of cases. Capello can only pick so many centre halves.

Arteta will probably never get into the Spain squad, and that has nothing to do with being an Everton player and everything to do with Spain having one of the best midfields in the World, and some of the best players in the central roles certainly. Arteta is good, but is he better than Xavi, Iniesta or dare I say it, Xavi Alonso? Probably not, at least in the eyes of the Spanish coaches.

Fabregas too - I forgot about him.
