Also, match comments as they happen...

Enough is enough! Sack the board, sack Moyes and sack some of the over paid championship standard shite that is playing for Everton!
No other team would stand for this and not have made wholesale changes!!

Well Jeremy, believe it or not, Fellaini’s original position is central defender. Just like Vincent Kompany.

I’m also in China and usually get the game live through the internet, if its not on ESPN-Star. Today no joy...keeps saying no satalite link.
I think we’ve shit out this week. Maybe thats a good thing!

Cahill 1.2

Come on Tim Cahill 2-1

GOAL! Cahill.. coyb

too little too late i think

Got one back, Cahill.. we need a draw out of this to keep moral up for derby.. come on you blues. 17 mins to go

..Oh, and it looks like we scored while I was perving over those hot bodies, my days getting better and better!!!

keep morale up? I thought it couldn’t get any lower.

Neville with a chance, but no.

it’s all us now. What price on 3-2?

As Sharpy said why has it taken so long for the boys to get their arse in gear?

Saha and Yak link up and ossie scores:

2-2

COYB

Get in Leon 2-2

2.2 osman

GOOOOAALLLLL!!!!!

Alright Ste,

Guess its been a blessing in disguise. But would still watch it knowing we were six nil down. Nothing worse than these text updates! But saying that, I havent got a fucking clue what is happening even when I hear live commentary!

nearly 3.2 cahill blocked on the line !!!
COYB

handball given

10 to go

Blues are all over them since we scored the first goal back.. come on you blues lets win this one!!!

Fair play to the boys battling back, but it’s the least they can do after the poorest display in ages up to the hull’s second.

Hopefully we can put our foot down and Saha can pop up with the winner.

Hull are pulling on defenders to shut up shop and take a point

Saha has made a big difference

dunno how I used to listen to all the away games in the olden days, you don’t know what’s going on.

I never trust Sharpy’s summaries either.

Sounds like the game might be petering out now.

Should we not chuck jimmy on and go for broke?

6 mins to go.. blues still pushing for winner.. Saha was selfish then

city are 6 up v pompey

vaughan for yak? what’s that about. Should have yanked cahill or ossie off, or better still neville

Yak off Vaughan on.. last minute..

last minute now. Come on let’s get out of jail

Dan

there’s usually a sports page on sina web page where you can get all the live games with english commentry. You’ll need someone Chinese to sort it for you at first.
Philipines satalite has loads of games as well (just no Blues this week)
COYB

full time

any who actually watched the game got any views?

Sharpy is slating them on City

Louis Saha got Sharpy’s man of the match

Three own goals in a week is unacceptable. Jags is playing well so the defence needs to be structured around him. Saha will be good if he can stay injury free. We seem to lack pace again.

I thought Jags was shocking in the last few games. He didn?t play as bad as Lescott, but he was poor. The defence should be structured around Yobo, he?s our best centre back, and whilst not playing well, he is the pick of a bad bunch at the moment.

One point is: Yobo - quiet, Lescott - quiet, Jags - quiet, Baines - quiet, Howard - quiet, Neville - not exactly a shouter, but he does try. No wonder there is no communication.

Even though we got it back to 2 - 2, apart from the last 18 mins after we scored our first, that was fucking dreadful. If we play like that against the shite, that twat Torres will have a field day. The funny thing is, you will have the usual suspects coming on here, and raving about our comeback, but if you can be happy with that, you must be a raving lunatic. The plus points, Jags had another solid game, and Saha seemed to do okay when he came on, but apart from them, it was a fucking disgrace.

Anyone want to watch highlights now http://www.atdhe.net/live-tv-325.html

Chris woods strikes again. He’s about to add Howard to a list of decent goalkeepers whose careers bombed while under his tutorledge.

Game finishes 2-2 but, my god, there are some tosser?s posted absolute rubbish when 2-0 down, sack the board etc etc get a life!

I suppose it’s a good result considering we went down 2-0. All in all though it’s poor, Hull aren’t a good side but it’s quite clear we lack any bottle or leadership in the team.

Poor result. The defence needs to sort it’s self out.

Jamie, losing 2-0 at Hull City would have precipitated an absolute fucking deluge on here, so please let’s have more respect for other people’s views. We were playing very poorly until the 72nd minute. It’s natural people are going to react to that. Show some respect!

http://www.ustream.tv/videoplayerpopup/channel/298624

2-2... good fightbackI suppose but the reality is we are fukin shocking this season. Wtf has happened to our defence this year?We should never be 2 goals down to the likes of Hull City if we harbour thoughts of uropean footy next season
John Martin - spot on mate. Fuck knows what Chris Woods is doing with Howard (though I have said before I don't rate Howard, he does not command his area or instill confidence in his defenders). Roll on the redshite. Anyone settle for a point next week?

Having a bit of perspective, well Stoke drew with the mighty Liverpool yesterday and Portsmouth lost 6-0 today against City... Spurs are capitulating AGAIN so all these people need to keep comments in perspective while the game is STILL being played.

7 points from 3 away games isn’t a bad return. Our performances are always shite under Moyes.

Jamie,

accepting mediocrity is part of the problem, not the solution....

Jamie, what the fuck are you on about? I don’t give a fuck about Pompey, Spurs etc, I’m more concerned about how shit we have been this season!

With players yet to bed in (Castillio, Fellaini, Saha) plus players to come back from injury (Pienaar) and Cahill to improve, I would THEN judge this team, but not when you're 2-0 down and the match hasn?t finished.

Jamie,

EVERY Premier League team has players to come back from injury and newly signed players to bed in.

Ah, I see where your coming from Jamie. So we don?t take into consideration the 6 goals conceded at home to Pompey and Blackburn, and the woeful displays against Hull today and against Liege the other night? We wait till we have everybody back fom injury, and everyone has bedded in, and then we judge them?

Get a grip lad, you judge them from game 1, also, it?s not as if we have come up against the more stronger teams in the prem, is it?

Brian, don?t worry yourself.

Have you not heard? The premiership and cup competitions only start counting from game 8, to allow players to bed in and injuries to recuperate. Mighty nice of them.

Jeremy, do you happen to know if the 13 goals in 6 games we have conceded, get wiped off as well?

Watched the match, thanks for the link Brian.
Hull were on top for 65 minutes, but Everton responded well after that with Arteta switched to the centre and a good Saha. I hope Saha stays fit and keeps motivated. I really hope Moyes will play Arteta in CENTRAL MIDFIELD next match.

Correction: thanks MATT for the link

Brian,

the rules are that if you have any players at all on the physio room register for injured - then goals conceded in the first 8 games are struck off. You also get +1 goal difference for any new players who signed during the normal pre-season transfer window.

Of course, the three newly prmoted teams from the championship also ave their points reset to zero, at this stage.

Its all good.

What they should do Jeremy, and I can’t believe the prem league and FA haven’t thought of it yet, is to start the season when every team has all players back from injury, and all new players bedded in. It’s that simple.

I’ve read a number of posts today saying things like we are missing Carsley etc but don’t think I’ve seen any asking what the fuck Steve Round has been doing at Finch Farm, the defence isn’t talking to each other and from rock solid and dying for the cause we have become useless at the back making schoolboy errors; has anyone seen so many own goals this quick into a season?

Yes we played well from 70 odd minutes in but even a kid could tell you a game is 90 minutes long and up to Cahill scoring we looked and played utterly shite football. I said after earlier games that if we continue to play like that when we meet a decent side we will get torn a new arsehole and watching Arsenal v Bolton there is one example of a team just waiting to destroy us and Man City playing how they did today is another.

Its a good point Brian.

But I hear the next thing to be phased in is that the match crowd must be silent - absolutely silent - until the end of the game, when the final result is actually known. They are then encouraged to make a little noise that is indicative of the outcome, rather than the spectacle. Only then can the noise be construed as constructive, since at any other time the end result is unknown, and therefore anything during the previous 90 minutes would be considered simply a measure of entertainment, and thus does not count.

Just back from Hull and we were soooo lucky to get out of jail today. The defence is fucking useless and Baines, Castillo and Fellatio were worse than pathetic today. What posessed Moyes to blow his entire transfer budget on that fucking beanpole is beyond me. He must have been on a right little handler!

I forgave him Coughdrop but £15M for a guy whose afraid to spoil his hairstyle is fucking ridiculous!!!! We are in the shit - and a point don?t alter that!

Well Sid,

Fellaini was a panic buy. He may be a star in the Belgian Jupiler League but the Premiership is a different class. He looks very shaky in midfield, too slow, not winning headers etc. I hope he will improve otherwise it’s a expensive purchase.

Ralph, I’ve been saying that for ages its obvious that we play better football when Arteta is in the middle. It’s no coincidence that when Arteta was moved into the middle we were all over Hull and scored the two goals. Arteta is more involved there and can get the team going. The only problem is Moyes hasn’t signed any wingers and he should have done, because if we put Arteta in th middle all the time who is going to play out wide? We have Pienaar when he is fit, but I’m not so sure whether Osman is the answer on the opposite flank, but surely it’s worth a try. I think playing both Arteta and Cahill in the middle when Pienaar is back will give us a real threat.

Anthony do you know that Glasgow Rangers bought Arteta because he wiped the floor with them when he was playing central midfield against them for PSG and that was the same team he was playing alongside a certain Ronaldinho with but Rangers were only interested in the player that shined and that was Arteta.

We haven’t got any real wingers in the squad. Okay, Pienaar used to play on the right wing for Ajax but he’s not a natural winger. Andy van der Meyde is our real natural winger but he’s always injured. Why Moyes hasn’t bought any flank players is also a mystery to me. Maybe he’d hoped Van der Meyde stayed fit, but that’s wishful thinking. I see enough talent each week as I watch a lot of football. But the question is as always: Are they interested in joining Everton? I really would like to see a real left footer like Sheedy in the squad again. A good midfielder/winger that is. Some people might think Baines is good enough to play there, but I don’t think so.

And despite all of this, we are only a game behind 4th spot! Even the commentator & his co covering the Chelsea-Man Utd game commented that Villa & Everton are still the only teams capable breaking in to the top 4. Maybe there is still hope for us yet!
Bring on the RS.... COYB

Yeh but looked at who we’ve played; the three promoted teams and two top 10 teams at home and we’ve only got 7 points.

Dunno if anyone still reading this thread, no doubt pointless my views..

I made a trip to the city (Melbourne here) so for once knew I wouldn’t be able to watch the game on tv or online. (wasn’t on Foxtel or Setanta here)

So, here I was, with Chelski friends, one Pompey mate and Liverpool mate, seated amongst 80% Chelsea supporters Vs 20% Man United supporters in one of the cities few 24 hour pubs, which is purely football (soccer) orientated.

Cheering every time neither side could score, and making fun of the inadequacies of both Man U and Chelsea in front of goal, and finally it was half time and I knew the Everton game would start.

I borrowed both my mate’s iPhones and loaded up iFooty to watch the text updates (which are surprisingly fast and detailed)

Pompey game on my left, Everton on the right. And apparently some big game on all the tv’s around me with singing/chanting supporters of teams I really couldn’t care for.

My Pompey mate glued to my left as I read and visualised the Everton game in my head.

Hull scores. My Liverpool mate laughs out loud (attracting looks from the Chelsea and Man U crowd around us) I punch him and just look back.

Pompey in the mean time has also succombed to a Man City goal.

Nothing much more for Everton, Pompey were scored on again and my mate wasn’t looking forward to the rest of his game.



The Man U & Chelski game finished, I wasn’t really concentrating, we just walked out quickly to avoid the rush of rowdy unhappy so called Big 4 supporters.

Said bye to some mates, and cruised on home for the hour drive back south with other mate driving, and I was glued to his iPhone.

Second half started. Was chatting to friend in back seat, updated phone and PHIL NEVILLE had scored. I cheered, then thought, wait, Neville. Wait, 2-0. What the?

OMG.. Its an own goal! F%$^

Checked the


Messaged Pompey mate the dilemma, and that his team had just given away another goal, 3-0 down.. then 4-0 down.

I still told my mates I knew Everton weren’t going to lose this. Can’t, will not, lose to Hull. Cahill will save the day.



And then it came, up on the screen. CAHILL scores. I got a wee little excited.. lol (sound like a little girl) and eyes back glued to see the rest of the game out.

Flicking back now and then, to inform Pompey mate by sms that his team were now 5-0 down when Osman scores!! 2-2!

Now I knew we could do it, now all we needed was the winner which unfortunately didn’t come.

I must say, at no stage did I ever feel Everton were shit and needed to all be sacked, etc etc. I understand people getting over hyped on atrocious poor form, and giving away games, but I still had faith.

A point isn’t good enough, but its better than losing, and we’re still in it. I think once the team establishes itself, we will be fine.

Least I wasn’t feeling as upset as my Pompey mate when I informed him the game was over and his team had lost 6-0.

Least we drew!

Positive note :

Just watched the Highlights on tv tonight.

Osman unlucky first half.

Yakubu?s volley down from Fellaini?s header was lucky to be saved, altho direct at keeper.

Saha unlucky not to get one past the keeper.

Cahill?s goal is great, ball pin balling around in the box, then to his feet. Nothing controversial about it, clearly over the line!

Saha to Yak, Yak to Saha, forward to Yak, cross to Osman. GREAT goal!

Yakubu and Saha linked up awesome!

For those of you slating Fellaini for getting outjumped, perhaps you should consider that Michael Turner is also 6ft 4.

Talk about knee jerk overreactions!

And he copped it in the back from Turner also.
