Nice intro, Matthew. Let's make this the Matchday Thread

Interesting that Jo is not even on the Bench. Does anyone know of any injuries etc etc. I would have been tempted to play Neill instead of Gosling today though, any thoughts?

Chris Jones
2 Posted 08/11/2009 at 14:49:44

Neill dropped for Hibbo?? Jo is injured, any weblinks?

Colin Ryan
3 Posted 08/11/2009 at 14:48:00

Why would you play Neill ahead of Gosling?He’s a right back/centre half??That would mean us starting with 6 defenders on the pitch + Rodwell.At least Dan can get up and down the wing..Neill out there would be a disaster.A scappy 1 nil would be ideal today.We badly need 3 points today or were staring at the bottom 3 for the next 2 weeks!

Matt Lavery

There are loads of links on myp2p

http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=53795&part=sports

Unfortunately they all say they start at 16:00...

Any links that are found will be greatly appreciated.

I think Gosling will give a lot of effort out there today and hopefully this will mean that Cahill isn’t right-mid.

According to the OS, Jo has "knocked" his knee - can’t have been from his last performance!

Micheal Hunt
8 Posted 08/11/2009 at 14:49:20

Super Danny Gosling getting a game in midfield rather than Neill is a positive move from Moyes coz we need the points bigtime. Neill would have arguably menat 7 defenders on the pitch if we view Rodwell and Heitinga as defenders first.
Neill at RB offers more than Hibbo in an attacking sense though so its not as attacking as it could have been obviously, especially with Yak benched too.
Like Matt, don’t care how we play today, it is ALL about the result...COYB!

Ray Kelly
9 Posted 08/11/2009 at 14:50:29

Just hope this 4-1-4-1 formation becomes 4-4-2 when we’re on the front foot allowing Fellaini/Cahill the chance to get up alongside Saha,if we stick to that miserable 4-5-1 thats let us down so badly lately then Moyes really has shown an inability to make positive changes,Cahill in midfield is like playing with 10 men,sorry to sound so negative before the games started,anyway fingers crossed Saha wont be left to battle alone for that pathetic long ball!

Brett Jonathan
10 Posted 08/11/2009 at 14:57:27

Yeah looks like all streams are being held hostage until Man Utd game is over. Delayed by 2 hours. How strange.

Russell Smith
11 Posted 08/11/2009 at 14:55:44

Who’s left wing?
Hope its not cahill....Such a weak link when he’s made to play out wide

Sean Joyce
12 Posted 08/11/2009 at 14:53:50

Dan does get up the wing, but produces nothing. Not good enough.... YET. Games against Bolton and Benfica are two examples when the easy ball on both occasions to Cahill would have led to goals spring to mind. Neill has played in MF for West Ham, allowing Cahill to play up from alongside Saha. More balanced and more of a threat.

Gerry Quinn
13 Posted 08/11/2009 at 14:57:46

Hey guys - hope the blues win today, if they don’t I’ll be sailing on my 7-day cruise from Galveston to the W Caribbean with a mega-sulk on this afternoon. Has that made you all feel better? Sorry, thought I’d get that in.....

Neill should have been on. Gosling is absolute rubbish. does nothing well except lose the ball usually over his own feet. Neill should have started in central defense for me after the Yobo/Distin horror show on thursday.

Surely we can pass the ball better than this.

Dick Anderson
35 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:25:33

Don’t want to worry anybody but Hull have just scored a late winner.

If we were to lose today then Hull will be just a point behind us.

And with both Man Utd and Liverpool in our next 3 games things are getting worrying.

I’m not saying its gonna happen but when was the last time Everton were in the bottom 3 at Christmas?

Colin Ryan

He only scores from outside the box. Brilliant!

Chris Jones
54 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:33:34

Is Louie the best natural finisher in the top flight?

Torres, Defoe, Owen, Eduardo?

Ste Lewis
55 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:35:03

Fellaini looking much better again, like 1st half v benfica,

Brian Lawlor
56 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:35:04

There were plenty of divvies on here at the start of the season saying we should have cashed in and sold him to Fenerbache.

How much worse would we be without him?

Andrew Bankes
57 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:34:00

Is it Tony Gale co-commentating? What a gobshite this man is!

Andrew Oxton
58 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:36:43

Agreed Andrew

Chris Jones
59 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:36:24

Brian - couldn’t agree more. Best finisher we’ve had for years including the Yak...

Dick Anderson
60 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:36:51

I will put my hands up and admit that I was one of the people who thought Moyes should have considered the offer for Luis Saha.

I’ve always thought Luis was a decent player but at the time I thought it was good money for an older injury jinxed player.

I’m happy to admit I was wrong. King Luis is proving himself at Everton this season and we’d be stuffed without his goals.

Thankfully Moyes knew what he was doing when he turned down the offer and kept King Luis.

Andy Codling

James Stewart
62 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:40:19

The only good thing Moyes has done recently! Saha is up there with Arteta for me. The best two players at the club.

Ste Lewis
63 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:41:10

Agreed andy, i always turn those chat things off.

Phil Rodgers
64 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:41:33

Paul O'Grady

Ste Lewis
72 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:46:06

hostream is good, scroll up for password, someones posted it already. Impressed so far, lots of hard work, seem up for it. They look to have picked out hibbo but he’s stood firm (on the whole) against the pace of hines. Fellaini bashers certainly cant call him lazy in this game either.

Rob Murphy
73 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:49:04

West Ham are worse than us-they look totally clueless.Should get a win today.
Seem to remember Saha kickstarted our season this time last year with 2 cracking strikes at Upton Park.Fingers crossed he does it again!!!

Chris Jones
74 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:51:40

Good half fro Jack, Saha and Yobo

Matthew Salem
75 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:31:08

By the way, thank you for the stream Seamus. YOu’re a legend, mate. The iraqgoals one is unwatchable.

Andrew Oxton
76 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:52:43

Pretty decent after a poor start. PLEASE...no early goal just after half time, stay awake Blues.

Andrew McLean
77 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:53:59

anyone else loos the hostream link?

Fran Mitchell
78 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:51:03

Smash and Grab so far. We have played poorly, giving the ball away far too easily.

There is no balance in midfield, but that is understandable considering Cahill is out wide and Gosling is on the right. Goslings final ball is poor, and I’d much rather have Osman on the right but of course he’s injured.

The defense is doing well, and West Ham haven’t really threatened but I’d be much more comfortable with a second goal.

West Ham look vulnerable and if Lois lasts long enough hopefully he will get a 2nd.

I would like to say give Wallace or Baxter a chance in midfield, but victroy is too important to risk.

I expect Yakubu to come on for Saha on about 70 mins. Maybe Rodwell could be taken off too as he’s been booked and could do with a rest.

Satisfying if not exciting 1st half.

Matt Lavery
79 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:57:19

Andrew Edwards - Gosling was out of it second half completely and so therefore because he is playing today I’m hoping he gives the same commitment and tireless running he did in the first half against Benfica.

Nowhere did I say the lad was class first half I simply said I hope he produces what he did first half the other day - I don’t think he’s as gifted a player as Rodwell et al, but I think what he does offer is a never say die attitude and commitment something that was on show during the first half again today in my opinion.

Besides get behind the 19 year old!

COYBB

David Chait
80 Posted 08/11/2009 at 15:59:28

Again Parker proves to all he is no mercenary .. we missed out on a great player imo.. but besides him they are worse than us... Saha is gifted... what a strike....

Rodwell and Heitinga winning a lot of ball... Heitinga could be out DFM and stick in the center with Arteta I would be happy... his passing range is better than Rodwell for now.. especially his long range.
Fellaini causing all sorts of issues for them.. but still giving away too many fouls and is a bit gobby today...

Gosling always losing it in when a player is on him.. he needs to learn how to keep it away from the opposition... Saha should teach him how as the master of this.

Rishy onto our nemesis... the 2nd half.

Rob Murphy
81 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:05:07

Hostream gone for anyone else???

Dick Anderson
82 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:03:12

I like Gosling’s attitude and desire but I worry that he doesn’t have enough talent for the Premiership.

Hopefully he’ll continue to improve and establish himself in the side.

He did score that great goal against Liverpool. Although nobody saw it thanks to ITV.

Nick Marsh
83 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:03:28

Fellaini is showing the fight, maybe a bit to much as he should have been booked but glad to see he is up for it. Heitinga aswell... so nice to see a long ball played perfectly! Looks like a 4231 to me which I think away from home is a good formation regardless off injuries... hope we can win this...

Ste Lewis
84 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:06:55

Andrew McLean
85 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:09:10

is it just me or are West Ham focussing more down our right side?

Chris Jones

Really like him Colin but we have no shape at the moment

Gerard Looker
135 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:48:34

Heitinga looks like he loves a 50/50 and to be fair he’s won most today.

Passing been alot better last 2 games

Jason Heng
136 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:50:40

Why is Diamanti always left free with time and space to pick his passes? This is really poor.

Hopefully this will be a turning point, were playing like a side with no confidence at all.

Poor Performance, but 3 points is all that matter at the moment.

Hopefully a few players will return while England go off on a money making, sorry, world cup preparation game against Brazil.

Good win. needed that. Saha is really important to us, hope its just a knock

Just to put a little perspecitve on things we’ve lost once in the last seven league games. If we’d picked up the points we deserved v Wolves, Stoke and Bolton we’d have 20 points - in 6th with a game in hand and two points ahead of the red shite.

We’ve been pretty poor all season so it shows AGAIN what could’ve been.

Terrible performance, terrible tactics, terrible to watch.

Deserve to be on last on MOTD but boy did we need those points.

James Stewart

Great win by the skin of our teeth.

Very silly tactics by Moyes though when will people wake up to his suicide tactics

Jake Gordon
155 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:58:53

As was undoubtedly said before the game the result was all that mattered today. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed watching us win so little, not meant as a criticism of the performance, just in terms of the nerves, the desperate need for the points and so on. Bloody delighted though.

James Stewart
156 Posted 08/11/2009 at 17:00:24

Stupid statement Chris. We are not in 6th. We are where we deserve to be. Probably higher actually!

Rob Murphy
157 Posted 08/11/2009 at 16:58:13

Horrific performance, shockingly bad. I’m sick of watching complete dross every week. 5 at the back against West Ham, barely hanging on & 8 defenders on the pitch at the end. FFS no sign of Arteta or Jags returning either so we’re stuck watching this crap for the foreseeable future. My faith is being severely tested I’m afraid.

Were level on points with Fulham and Burnley!!!!

Only 3 points behind Liverpool....Come on you Brummies!

Andrew McLean

scrappy 2nd half, was there any actual formation in the last 10 minutes?

Micheal Hunt
160 Posted 08/11/2009 at 17:02:36

Rant of relief!...Hail King Louis! Thank Christ Super Danny’s follow up shot rifled into the net...his first dig with left peg was decent and the follow up was a belter...get the flying fuck in there!!! Hibbo....you’ve destroyed my fucking nervous system and shortened my life....Oi Moyes...desperate alamo defending with no support for lone Yak....no!!! Thank fuck the Hammers could not hot a barn door and that we got lucky with that very tight and dubious offside for their late late equaliser that wasn’t! :-)
Hopefully Jekyll and Hyde switches round after the break and we can not be so embarassing to watch...thank fuck for the 3 points today....onwards and upwards hey!!!?! COYB!!

Chris Jones
161 Posted 08/11/2009 at 17:07:23

James - it’s not a stupid statement to say we could and should be in 6th despite being off form and injury ravaged pretty much all season. It shows how close the margins and how the little bad decisions made and bits of luck can turn a season on its head.

162 Posted 08/11/2009 at 17:08:37

I said of after the Villa game and I will say it again, we have found Hetinga’s best position and thats the chief water carrier in front of defence. Good result, ground out to the end. Hibbert outstanding, Cahill playing a captains innings, Saha simply class, Fallani lucky not to get sent off but vital, Baines world class. Gosling scoring, generally when it goes right, we win. Well played all. Do that against United and we will have turned that corner.

Fran Mitchell
163 Posted 08/11/2009 at 17:09:29

Conidering the praise Aston Villa and Spurs have recieved not only in mainstream media but also this website, the fact that we are just 6 and 7 points of these teams with a game in hand, considering we have been so poor (which we have, we were lucky to win today) I actually feel a bit optimisic.

I know we have a bad run of games up until february, but with the return of a few players, primerily Pienaar and if Saha stays fit we are not out of teh race for 5th and 6th place.

164 Posted 08/11/2009 at 17:10:37

Chris you’re talking shit man, we’re NOT 6th.We did NOT beat the mighty duo of Wolves or Stoke at home and we did NOT deserve to either,so spare us the hypothetical bullshit please.Fucking ridiculous statement.

Chris Jones
165 Posted 08/11/2009 at 17:13:27

Our best four players are Jags, Arteta, Pienaar and Saha - they haven’t played in the same side together since January. Any other top six club would’ve struggled in the same circumstances.

I’m really disappointed with the quality on display but now is the time to stick together, get into the top half and into the Euro knockout stages then kick on.

Come on you blues...

Thanks for the positivity Rob - you must be the miserable cunt who sits behind me in the upper Gwladys

Chris Jones

Good comments Dick and Steve - it’s called perspective. All the miserable twats should pull their fuckin necks in and try to force a smile.

Rob Murphy
168 Posted 08/11/2009 at 17:20:34

Well Chris unless you’re a cracking blonde with huge tits,then no i don’t sit behind you at Goodison!

As for your description of me,class and dignity mate,class and dignity.

Yeah Chris, and to put it into perspective a bit more, if we had have beaten Arsenal, Fulham, Burnley and Villa we would be top of the league now!!!! Also, if we had beaten Benfica twice we would be through to the next rounds of the Europa cup.

What a tit of a statement!
