I believe Jô does not play as he is on loan ? I think they changed the rules after the Tim Howard fiasco some seasons ago...
Let's make this the matchday thread... LINKS PLEASE!!!
The reamaining games are still important and DM can ill afford to rest players however he is today but why does Osman always stay in? Ossie has had a poor season and was lost in the semi-final but sure enough he keeps his place which must ask the question why no confidence in Rodwell or Gosling today to start? Only DM knows why but surely he can't point to Ossies form?
Jo cant play under FA rules loanee’s cannot play against their full time employers
Great to see Castillo get a game and Tim get a rest, and what a great looking bench...
COYB
Does anybody know any match threads for todays game?

Goal dis allowed
not sure waiting on replay
hibbert is woeful! playing well apart from him though.
castillo hasnt given the ball away once!
very makelele esque
I’m not getting much joy from this one but there’s definately a picture in there somewhere, those with decent internet connections might do better
http://www.atdhe.net/
Lets stop hoofing it!
Anyone got a better link, Iraq goals is sticking....
Great work from castillo... Sighn him up
We’ve got absolutely nothing going on down the right side. Ossie hasn’t got a clue about playin on the right. He needs to take control and stop givin the ball to Hibbert.
def concur on castillo. cracking player.
just like watching makelele!
everything from city is coming down the left. they have obviously put robinho on hibbert for a reason.
worrying...
We’re clearly missing Cahill
what a player baines is now!
best player on the pitch.

choose the planets1link okay, not perfect
does anyone have a non justin.tv stream?
By far James. We could do with another one of him on the right.

this is decent..english commentary
Damn that clean sheet record curse...
mistake from yobo goal for robinho.
very poor from howard as well. through his legs!
Why was it a mistake from Yobo? Is it fashionable to critise Yobo now?
not at all. one of yobo’s biggest fans.
but under no pressure he headed it straight to their player. in turn he passed to robinho ... goal.
very sloppy. howard should not be beaten through his legs from that wide either.

these links are shite....any ideas?
Agree with Jamie above. Baines has turned into quite the player....however Hibbert is holding us back on the right. Is Jacobsen injured? Annoying goal to concede that.
Man City have not won away since the last Ice Age...this is not good. Plenty of time though
Is Hibbert allergic to the by-line? 4 times now he has been put in space to get to the line and knock one in, and each time he has floated a poor cross first time from miles out... WTF..
Ossie is fuckin shite. Gosling has got to come on in the second half. He could help Hibbo out as well cos Robinho is murdering him.
iraqgoals is working fine for me.
apart from the annoying commentary!
ljjy your right. hibbert has been terrible. in a great position totally unmarked 4 times now and has not put one decent ball into the box. he commits stupid fouls as well. and his backing off robinho so much its untrue.
if you look at his opposite side (baines) he is simply not good enough. end of
if the whole team was at the level of our right side, hibbert & osman we would be relegated.
I’m not sure what language my link is in, but the adverts are hilarious...possibly portugese
It’s obvious that they want it more than us (for whatever reason), as technically they are shite. Our lads look like they want PL season to be over right this minute.
I just hope that City will puss out and try to defend the lead in the second half as this is the only way we can nail them right now.
COYB!

will, what link u using mate?
Ryan, if you watch a replay, Yobo makes the header (to Man Shitteh) then stands and admires it for a bit while Robby does a fat legger towards our goal and is picked out and scores. Thats why it was Yobo’s fault.
I agree with he above...it appears that Everton have had a right-sided stroke...the right flank is desultory to the extreme
Very poor first half performance. Baines looking class though.
Hairdryer at half-time please!
Fellaini is looking awful, as is Saha, Hibbo and Osman.
I haven’t been critizising Ossie earlier, but today he really is playing poorly.
Castillo, started off pretty well but faded badly.

choose the planets1link under the match links
It appears to be offline during the halftime interval
I really have resisted bandwagon jumping but the veiws above aout the right side of evertons play are totally justified.
I’m not jumping on the players back or haiving a go at there overall ability but today its poor, needs to be improved if we are to get anything from today..
Hoping for an inprovement and if not focus our play to down the left to play to our obvious strenghs
Try myp2p.eu and look for the link to our game. You may need to download Sopcast to view the stream.
Started watching about 20mins in (just got home!) and we are playing like a bunch of headless chickens! What the hell is Fellaini doing??? I thought i’d reserve my judgement on him till he had a decent run in the team, but the boy can’t pass, he can’t shoot and he doesn’t even run! I don’t think he can cut it in the EPL. We should piss him off and get back as much of the $11mil we paid back asap.
Bring in Vaughan i say...
Ossie’s looked knackered from about the 5th minute which is also a reason why Hibbert looks so exposed. Compare Osman’s work ethic with that of Pienaar’s on the other side and you see the difference. Time to get Vaughany or Gosling in on that right hand side.
Paul Hardcastle you complete novice you should read into it before making comments like that - better still you should know the rules!¬
I am so fucking sick of watching this shit on the internet the stream ALWAYS goes down
does anyone have a link where I won’t have to download sopcast?
Sopcast channel 6816 is excellent and in english, not great viewing right now, but COYB.
This is not a reaction just from this game but i must say Leon Osman is shite. He offers nothing going forward at all. He loses possession too often. I think right-midfield is the position we need to improve in the summer transfer market.
Pienaar is working really well with Baines down the left, and we have arteta coming back into the middle. We just don’t create anything of substance down the right.
given up on the streaming now - just couldn’t get any decent picture.
If we are 2-0 down and the team are shite isn’t this the time for some subs....?
Has the whole fucking internet shut down or is it just me?? The bbc won’t update, I can’t get a stream, and no one’s posting on here I have no idea whats happening with our boys
The one time Moyes makes all 3 subs before the hour mark we get a fucking injury! What are the chances!!!!
OH SHIT!
Jags looks fucked
Fuck! FUCK! FUUUUUUCK!
COYB!
Ok subs are on but why isn’t Osman off? I mean has he got something on Moyes which means he can never ever be taken off?!?
This is turning out to be a distaster of a day!
Most of the team looks shattered and how we can make 3 subs and leave Osman on amazes me. Yobo has been poor as have Saha and Fellaini up front. Its like Portsmouth at home part 2!
Heres the update Jimmy, we are geting pissed on by a shite team, the Jag has just been stretchered off and we are down to 10 men. not good
would of thought thats Jags season over. looked like he knew it.
Haven’t turned up today - after the Lord Mayors Show!
Hope Jags is OK.....COYB get a hold of that ball.
Anyone have a functioning stream?
I second that Andrew - piss poor

http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/sat25.4/Everton_ManCity.html
this has been working fine for me, wouldnt bother watching tho.
Jimmy mate I just put on yahoo.co.uk premier league and kept pace with it that way.
I'm not usually the sort of fan who whinges at our own players but can anyone tell me one positive thing that Osman has done in the last 3-4 games?
Osman is a decent player my problem is with Moyes...Ossie’s in a bad run of form and yet Moyes refuses to bench him or even substitute him
SHITE SHITE SHITE!!! Clueless today!!!!
Get shot of saha in the summer!! Cas should never of been taken off, its not like he can be tired, he’s played once since xmas!!
Osman is not a right midfielder, he’s not a center midfielder either, fuck knows what he is!!!?????
Moyes out!!!
(just kidding)
The result isn’t so important today - Villa only got a point so we’re still only a win from overtaking them. The more serious concerns are the injury to Jags and the lack of goals.
7 minutes? we could play all fucking night and get nothing, we are awful today. Take the rough with the smooth, I guess.
YESSSS IM WRONG AGAIN COYB
Keep talking Andrew - put the kiss of death on Citeeh....
Lost the commentary as well as all the links - is it 2-2 yet?
I have to agree with the above comments. Saha offered nothing for the 2nd time in a week. Midfield and strikeforce totally toothless.
Nope.. another piss poor performance (save for Gosling’s goal) and we lost 1-2.
Conclusions: shouldn’t have taken off Castillo, should have taken off Osman and Gosling should have started.
If we can all see that then why can’t Moyes?
Foock me he’s a bloody annoying manager sometimes
Well, my day is completely ruined
Tough result to take after the joys of last week and the superb defensive play that we have come to expect.
No doubt this one is gonna produce a lot of polarized reactions.... starting with the next thread, where Mr Marsh has already waded in with his "I told you so!"
I?m closing this thread and moving the post-match discussion over there...
