Fucking hell! What?s going on back there!
Usual Everton, Yobo shit and nothing going forward. Everton injury already and Fellaini about to be booked. Not looking good, lads...
Fucking hell, Hibbo off! Osman on?
Get Yobo off. What the hell is he doing?
Lescott?s presence is sorely missed...
GET IN YOU BEAUT!
GOD just scored.
GOD just scored.
Great goal.
Get in Timmy!!!
Lescott on 4 yellows... amnesty tomorrow
Nice goal Cahill... looked like half our team was offside.

Shit defence, but Timmy again shows his class.
Good combination between Pienaar and Fellaini.
Dogshit defense indeed, but there it is! 1-0 Timmy
Arteta or no Arteta, Everton will always score goals from set plays.
Fellaini the big lug pole-axed the keeper. Lucky it wasnt a free kick for it. Can't understand why Lescott on the bench. Maybe becuase he is on 4 yellow cards and if he gets one today he misses the FA Cup game, but Neville is on 4 as well. Vintage Osman shuffling the feet then a shit pass.
Not happy at all with Fellaini, he?s just a passanger. His passing has been good but he looks so lazy again today. Happy with Peanuts, he?s getting stuck in and of course Tim is great.
Need to start getting control of this, keep it down and pass it.
And Jo needs to think about his movement/positioning.

How come Cahill?s goal was chalked off??? I thought it was .
I assume Fellaini still has a cracked vertebra, so he would not be playing if the injury crisis was not so acute
I don?t think teams will be to concerned conceding fouls outside the area... the drop off in quality is staggering with no Arteta.

Jags there with his best Bobby Moore impersonation... outstanding stuff.
Fellaini is having a mare!! He is sooo slow... hasn't tackled in the game, and he calls himself a DM? Don't think so!! His passing is non-existent, everything passes him by... and he loves to foul needlessly! He needs a good talkin to!
I hope we can eek out a win, but surely, this is very poor so far. I am disappointed and worried.
Fellaini?s play is poor. But what about Jo?s. That?s not great either.
Jo is shite.
Coolest goal-line clearance EVER!
Jagielka by far our best player again today.
No way ? Howard?s MotM so far.
Yobo let his man go again. The game is totally passing him by.
What a poor poor game. We need much more from people like Osman, Pienaar going forward. Jo isn?t very good.
I thought this game would tell us a lot about Everton post Arteta injury. On this evidence, we are going to struggle massively. And Jo is an absolute dumpling! Lovely Saha goal tho.....
FUCKIN AMAZING GOAL!!!!
CLASS GOAL from Saha. What a great great goal.
Class!
Get in Louis, you fuckin beauty!
Goal of the season... except for Goose?s of course!
Beautiful Saha goal, but the scoreline is very, very flattering.
The Hulk is coming on now.
If you consider cost (free transfer, average wages) and minutes on field versus goals and compare Saha to Anichebe or Jo (at us and Man City) then there is only one winner. No-one else has the quality of Saha ? not even that Yak is as good ? it?s just a shame he can?t stay fit for long.
I think given a little love Fellaini could be class. He is slow but he still covers a lot of ground and his passing and positional play are top notch. We were looking lightweight in midfield without him until Saha?s beauty.
Castillo is built like a compact Schwarzenegger
I think we?re missing Rodwell, of all people. We need composure in the middle without Arteta and cant get it with Osman and Fellaini.
Our midfield without Arteta just isn?t balanced.
Castillo hasn?t done anything right since he?s come on.
Simon Holly, have a word with yourself!. If Fellaini played for the other lot would you still say that? He is not a top player and is a huge waste of money. After today, irrespective of the result I am very worried. The thought of relying on people like Fellaini, Castillo and Jo to keep us in the top 6 chills the blood.
OK Gareth ? let's rely instead on Cahill, Jags, and Lescott to keep us in the top 6 ? that warms the blood back up!
Fellaini is still only 20 years old so time to develop. He needs to stop arguing the toss with the referee after each of his scrappy challenges... either that or lose the comedy barnet because he is a yellow card magnet. 15 this season and he will be on a 3 match ban!
15 million quid certainly a gamble, but he was a sought-after, young top Belgian talent. We will have a much better idea of what we have after a full pre-season of preparation.

That's the Problem... "Young Top Belgian Talent" ?we're not back in the seventies/eighties now; Belgium are shit. Last upcoming star from there was the Mpenza brothers! Enough said. Personally I thought we got the wrong one of the midfield duo of Liege, should have gone for Steven Defour ? he has quality, tough, good tackler, passer... what we need in that midfield ? and captains the side at age of 20!!!
We needed height and Fellaini was as highly rated as Defour and offered height, so Moyes chose the one with the height advantage, obvious. Fellaini too has a quality touch and is a good passer, but Moyes chose Fellaini's aerial ability over Defour's good tackling.
We needed height? So why was DM pursuing Moutinho so bad? ? who, as you know, is as small as Osman... and if we got him Fellaini would still be "stroking it" in Belgium!
And height came first against skill on the ball and creativity? No evidence of Hoofball there then!
Yes, Fellaini can make the ball stick but good passer? ? not sure. He has 84 fouls against him according to Opta, which is a joke!
can people please get off fellaini’s case!
the man well i mean boy he is only 20 after all!
hes playing with a cracked bone in his back! give the guy a break! he is only playing because we are so short on numbers!
and any win with the currant injury list is a bloody good one!
well done blues!!!

Isnt it the sign of a good team that they win even when playing like shit?
And hey, Arsenal drew with Fulham, we’re now only two points behind them!
