Links?

Iain Smith
2 Posted 02/12/2009 at 17:57:32

Bad feeling - we are gonna get battered....Coleman and Hibbo...good god.

Graham Holliday
3 Posted 02/12/2009 at 17:59:05

We played q well in patches on Sunday though, looks like Moyes is trying to stick by what’s the of the team that played the RS.

Anyone got any links though?!?

James Stewart
4 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:00:39

Wow what a surprise Hibbert CB.

Goal from Bily - Everton 1-0

Duncan McDine
12 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:08:49

Get in there!!!

Duncan McDine
13 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:09:11

Gosling on the stretcher after 10 mins... not sure yet who’ll replace him in midfield

Duncan McDine
14 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:10:56

Looks like Baxter is the replacement on right side of midfield.

Will Leaf
15 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:11:17

Baxter on for Super Gos

Colin Smith
16 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:11:26

Anybody got any radio links?problems with the TV links in my office

Christopher McCullough
17 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:11:54

I’m glad Baxter is on.

19 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:11:55

Looks like a rugby pitch and it’s coming down in buckets...Gosling slipped in a puddle and did his hamstring

James Stewart
20 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:14:33

Well i would prefer Baxter to Gosling anyway so good!

Will Leaf
21 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:15:23

Jo playing well...and he laid off the ball for Bily for the goal.

Now Distin is down

Christopher McCullough
22 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:16:24

distin screwed.don’t believe this.O YE GODS

Will Leaf
23 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:17:21

Duffy on for Distin...another hamstring!

16 mins gone!

Brett Jonathan
24 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:17:19

You get the feeling we may end up with 5 on the pitch tonight.

Will Leaf
25 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:20:52

Baxter looking very useful so far

Christopher McCullough
26 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:18:41

Duffy is a Northern Ireland’ under 18.Unbelievable these injuries.

Tom Winek

Any description of the goal?

Will Leaf
29 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:23:17

Looks like Jo finally understands the offside law!

Mark Bruce
30 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:25:20

Got a working stream.....http://www.atdhe.net/10694/watch-aek-athens-vs-everton-fc

David Denby
31 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:22:59

Happy to see Baxter on, just can’t believe the injuries. The true evertonian in me thinks we’ll hold onto to this with some ease only for the ref to call it off ten mins berfore full time ’cos of the rain!!

Bily-what a finish!

David Denby
32 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:26:13

Jo held off two on the edge of the box as Bily made a dash into the area from the left. Jo slipped him in, keeper came forward and Bily powered in into the top corner from about seven yards

Shaun Wright
33 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:27:38

Where are there fans?

Will Leaf
34 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:25:08

Header from Cahill down to Jo on the edge of the box. Jo tussled with 2 defenders and laid it off to Bily overlapping on the left who despatched a thundering blast into the top of the net from about 8 yards out.

David Denby
35 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:28:45

7.5 yards!

Rob Murphy
36 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:27:11

Michael,
Ball played upto Jo just inside the box,he held off 2 defenders & layed it to Bily who placed a left footer past the on rushing keeper into the roof of the net. Good finish. Good strength from Jo as well for a change!

Will Leaf
37 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:30:03

Split the difference.

I think there are more people logged onto TW than fans in the stadium

David Denby
38 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:30:08

Nice dummy from Duffy in his own box, even fooled himself

Iain Smith
39 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:33:03

Who are the commentators on iraq goals?!

Iain Smith
40 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:36:34

Hibbo’s gonna get sent off in this.

Will Leaf
41 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:33:05

Hibbo with a lovely tackle...Bobby Mooresque

David Denby
42 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:36:35

Hibbert got away with that. Good challenge as last man. Good job ref is on his game. Other Euro refs would be pulling out a seond yellow.

Ian McPherson
43 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:37:37

Jo’s best game by a mile. Hibbert is doing his usual ball watching and will be lucky to stay on the pitch.

Christopher McCullough
44 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:32:48

Dirty dive after Hibbert’s tackle. Good performance so far.

David Denby
45 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:37:57

Impressed with Baxter and Coleman so far. Showing good maturity and sense on the ball. Cahill looks like he’s found how to play again.

Robert Moore
46 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:40:13

Great Everton support at the match, any ideas how many travelled??

Wilson Tan
47 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:41:11

2 more injuries... and we have not even reached half time!

Wilson Tan
48 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:42:26

Baxter, Coleman, Duffy - true indications that we are really down to bare bones.

Will Leaf
49 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:45:41

Assured defending from Coleman so far

David Denby
50 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:45:22

It’s against different opposition but the way those three have played so far it’s a damn sight better than waht we’ve seen from others over the last few weeks.

Fingers crossed there’ll be no more injuries tonight though.

Good, solid performance so far.

Rob Murphy
51 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:44:44

Said it before & i’ll say it again, Cahill HAS to play off the striker or else his game is pretty limited.Felli looks more comfortable than Cahill playing a deeper role.

Iain Smith
52 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:48:45

AEK Reserves 0 Everton Under 21s 1 - I’ll take that though! Baxter looks decent.

Andy Morden
53 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:47:43

Watching on ESPN. Crap surface, yet more injuries and a very makeshift defence. I’d take 1-0 and no more bloody injuries!

The young lads look ok, although, this is a really poor AEK side. Lay off Hibbert, he’s doing ok.

Kiern Moran
54 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:49:30

Is it me or is Fellani everywhere? He must like the wet.

Christopher McCullough
55 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:48:58

Fellaini has looked promising again recently.

Wilson Tan
56 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:47:57

David: agreed. I guess every cloud has a silver lining. The kids will probably have gained valuable experience and extra playing time.

Stefan Tosev
57 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:47:18

Tsk,tsk,tsk the last two punters when will you ever learn, instead of concentrating on the good team performance and the youngsters you should be knocking down Hibbert, dont you know?!?

Wilson Tan
58 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:50:43

Hibbert out! There, got to get it out of the system first.

Will Leaf
59 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:48:34

Again Pienaar looks fantastic in the middle. Hope Davey keeps him there when Arteta returns...now that will be a creative central midfield.

Good stuff from the young’uns all round.

Bily being effective down the left.

As above the Big Fella doing well in a deeper role.

Hibbo marshalling well from the back.

Jo playing his best so far this season. Now has a coupleof games under his belt.

Mike Allison
60 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:54:22

According to the BBC Sport website, Tony Hibbert is making his 19th appearance for Everton in European competition, equalling the record currently held by Colin Harvey and Brian Labone.

That’s Labone, Harvey, Hibbert.

Any thoughts...?!

Will Leaf
61 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:56:31

Perhaps the only way to squeeze Hibbo into the same sentence as Labone and Harvey

Wilson Tan
62 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:56:48

Mike, with 1 more game to come (at the very least), Hibbert could have the record all to his own. Now, given that he’s shite and the worst player many have ever known, that’s something worth thinking about!

Ian McPherson
63 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:57:58

I think we should replace the Dixie Dean statue with a Tony Hibbert one. Probaly end up facing the wrong way though....Only jokin Hibbo lovers.

Will Leaf
64 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:04:33

Anyone still relying on commentary from TW?

Will Leaf
65 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:06:45

Jo caught onside there

Will Leaf
66 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:08:37

BATE 0 - 1 Benfica

Stephen Kenny
67 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:11:26

I am,

keep it coming please!

Stephen Kenny
68 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:12:19

FFS what hs hibbert got to do for a bit of recognition, He’s the only defender in this squad who can hold his head high this season

Will Leaf
69 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:12:22

Cahill on a yellow now.

Absolutely abysmal freekick from Jo there...his only qualification for such matters is being Brazilian

Sean McKenna
70 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:57:18

Watching the game on ESPN, has the penny dropped, Moyes? Balance in midfield looks good, Felli holding with Pienaar, Bily wide with Baxter wide, Cahill supporting Jo... we look much much better. Better football on a shite pitch! Peanuts, Felli, Cahill and Jo have been excellent, this is the way forward, even if we lose tonight.

Wilson Tan
71 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:13:33

Good to see that Coleman is playing well. One thing though, our freekicks and corner kicks this season has been shite, and it doesn’t matter whoever is taking them! This is one (or two) area we need to get it sorted out.

Will Leaf
72 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:14:14

Howard gets a yellow...timewasting!

Howard, despite the flood of goals this season, I think has looked rather good this year. Dealing with crosses better, and as always a brilliant shot stopper

Mike Allison
73 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:16:01

Important block by Hibbert before that - while facing the wrong way!

Will Leaf
74 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:16:34

Inches wide...actually clipped the post, from Athens. Defenders standing off a bit

Iain Smith
75 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:16:58

Another injury? good god - we’ll end up with Sol Campbell at this rate!

Will Leaf
76 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:18:05

Good stuff from Jo, beat his man to the left (surprise!) and sent his shot inches wide

Wilson Tan
77 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:19:37

Jo came close!

Wilson Tan
78 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:20:20

We are sitting deep, not a good thing to do.

Will Leaf
79 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:19:57

Argentine tart Blanco on for Athens

Tom Winek
80 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:18:57

I’d have David Moyes at the back over Sol Campbell. Worryingly he’s been released from his Notts County contract

Ian McPherson
81 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:22:18

2 nil benfica

Iain Smith
82 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:22:43

Tom - me too!

Wilson Tan
83 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:22:50

Fret not guys. There’s still the German lad. Not quite sure who else from the U21 we can call up to fill the bench next.

Stefan Tosev
84 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:21:11

we are throug Benfica are 2-0 up COYB

Will Leaf
85 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:22:33

Campbell moaned his way out of that contract...that’s it for me if DM signs that lump

Mike Thompson
86 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:24:28

He may have the 1st touch and control of a 4 yr old but at least Jo has put a shift in tonight! Just what was needed on this pitch.

Will Leaf
87 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:24:44

Perhaps we can get a couple of our Under-10’s excused from P.E.

Wilson Tan
88 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:26:04

Yellow for Billy.

Iain Smith
89 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:27:41

Is it me or is Baxter better than Osman?!

Christopher McCullough
90 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:28:27

Baxter is better than Gosling anyway. More potential than Osman

Iain Smith
91 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:29:42

Jesus - Jo is dead now

Wilson Tan
92 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:29:30

Iain: AEK is pretty shite to draw out any conclusions.

Will Leaf
93 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:30:17

Cart on for JO!

Steve Flaherty
94 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:30:27

BATE 1 Benfica 2

Jo down with a knee injury

Stuart Downey
95 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:31:22

jo is just playing. its Jo!

Mike Thompson
96 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:31:17

At this rate the U10s will be the only ones left fit!

Steve Flaherty
97 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:31:41

Yak on for Jo

Gerry Quinn
98 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:58:07

Mike Allison (18:54)
Well done on picking up on Hibbo joining Labby and Colin. Many congratulations to Tony Hibbert for equalling their appearances.
OK, he’s no world beater, we know that - but it disheartens me to hear so much criticism of him. He is Everton through and through.

Wilson Tan
99 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:31:21

Goodness! Another hamstring? Let’s hope Jo is ok to continue.

Stuart Downey
100 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:31:47

or not...

Will Leaf
101 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:31:27

The Yak is next to risk life and limb on this pitch

Iain Smith
102 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:31:44

Wilson: True - but would Osman have done any better tonight?

James Greem
103 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:32:51

Really didn’t want to see the Yak on that pitch...

Stuart Downey
104 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:32:32

how did he miss!!!

Vishal Poorundersingh
105 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:32:56

Thx for the comments guys...sad to see all these injuries...confident we will go thru

Will Leaf
106 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:32:33

Goal saving block from Coleman I think...desperate stuff now

Christopher McCullough
107 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:32:34

The boys look busted.

Wilson Tan
108 Posted 02/12/2009 at 18:56:48

Iain: Osman would have looked world class against them. AEK is that bad, seriously.

Will Leaf
109 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:35:09

Duffy with that block...off the line just about...Howard beaten

Rob Murphy
110 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:32:41

Corner

Iain Smith
111 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:36:19

Baxter with the clearance - to be honest they are much of a muchness!

Rob Murphy
112 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:36:48

Felli is no Cantona eh??

Iain Smith
113 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:37:45

That was beyond shite from Felli!

Steve Flaherty
114 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:36:16

Great break by Pieenar, lay off to Fellaini on edge of the box, poor shot over the bar

Ian McPherson
115 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:38:18

Yak looks slow. Is he still not 100%?

Rob Murphy
116 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:38:28

All over th shop now. I’ve a fiver on our boys like!

Will Leaf
117 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:38:52

Fellaini with an inexplicable attempt at a chip over the goalie after a long breakaway by Pienaar...had Yak to his left

Stuart Downey
118 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:38:43

nice tackle there yak...

Iain Smith
119 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:40:33

Yaks tackle was immense!

Wilson Tan
120 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:38:49

Felli is shite. Cahill is shite. Hibbert is shite. Osman (even though he isn’t playing) is shite. Howard is shite. Yak is shite. Jo is shite.

Do we honestly have 11 players who aren’t shite?

James Greem
121 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:41:31

Well done Wilson Tan(!!??), the retard award for tonight goes to you!

Wilson Tan
122 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:42:27

James: thanks. Been some time since I won an award ;)

Will Leaf
123 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:41:06

We’re just packing the box now...7 mins left. everyone looks shattered

Iain Smith
124 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:42:55

How many toffees fans there tonight?

Rob Murphy
125 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:42:03

U any good yourself Wilson?

David Hallwood
126 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:39:41

to state the bleedin obvious we need another goal

James Greem
127 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:43:17

No problem! :)

Christopher McCullough
128 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:42:04

@Wilson Tan...Maradona was shite, the Brazil ’70 team were shite....

Stuart Downey
129 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:40:40

he was onside!!

Gerry Quinn
130 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:43:55

IF Everton win this tonight, what an effort under extremely difficult circumstances. In fact, all Everton fans should turn up at the airport to see the boys sporting their blooded head bandages and crutches being led through customs by Moysie with a tin whistle playing "Dixie" and struggling with a heavy limp!

Wilson Tan
131 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:43:49

Rob: obviously, I’m not. But if you were following toffeeweb, all these players are supposed to be shite! I never quite understood what they need to do to win people over.

Stuart Downey
132 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:40:40

he was onside!!

Steve Flaherty
133 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:41:55

Baxters goal looked onside from other angle

Jo-se Baxter caught offside!

Wilson Tan is shite...

Will Leaf
138 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:44:41

Coleman lucky there...should have been a penalty to Athens...balances out the Baxter offside call

Steve Flaherty
139 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:49:49

Seamus Coleman limping now, only 2 mins to go lad, hang on!

Dan Walshe
140 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:50:39

Well done Shane Duffy, Seamus Coleman and Jose Baxter, couldn’t have asked for more in difficult circumstances.

Rob Murphy
141 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:50:58

Cool Wilson, just asking cos we might need a few bodies to tog out this weekend!!

Steve Flaherty
142 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:51:05

All over...Salute the heroes!

Stuart Downey
143 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:51:18

good result in the circumstances. especially with all the kids

Will Leaf
144 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:53:17

BATE 1-2 Benfica

We are through

Ian McPherson
145 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:52:36

The plane should divert to Lourdes on the way back. Is there anyone left standing?

Wilson Tan
146 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:52:47

Good win!

Rob Murphy
147 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:52:02

Great stuff .The lads were immense,especially Stevie P.Thankfully he didn’t get injured we look half a side with him playing.And my free fiver bet with paddy power is now worth 13 quid!!Nice wan ;-)

Gerry Quinn
148 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:55:00

Wilson - Good win!
That’s the first sentence you’ve put together without the word "shite"........

Mark Rankin
149 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:52:21

Through with a game to spare - we’ll be able to give a few of the kids a run out in the last group game.

Wilson Tan
150 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:54:25

Pluses from the game:
Pienaar, Billy, Coleman, Duffy.

Cahill is definitely better playing up front (and behind the front man), with Felli playing deep. Best game for Jo, but pity he has gone off injured.

Gerry Quinn
151 Posted 02/12/2009 at 19:57:41

Mark - that was the kids playing - do we have more?

Gerry: Yes we do have more. At the rate the lads are getting injured, we should expect to see more of Agard, Hope, Mustafi, Peterlin and Wallace soon.

Just watched a replay of Bily's goal again... finally looks like we have a left foot to fill Kevin Sheedys left boot.

Good night for Irish Blues, Coleman and Duffy were brave and strong

A very welcome win. Bit narked about all them yellow cards... does anyone know if the slate gets wiped clean for the knock-out stages?

Can someone pen a mailbag item for the post-match analysis? Ta...

Right, let the Hibbert bashing begin. How has this clown notched up a record number of European games etc etc blah blah blah.

Well played Hibbo, I for one think your dedication, determination and work ethic make up for your obvious lack of true class.
And you’re not a bad deputy centre half either.
Top lad.

Totally agree Michael. Ive just read down the list of posts on Toffeeweb tonight, starting with Iain Smith’s first post about Hibbo and Coleman playing. "Good god" he says. I hope he has eaten his words already. A man of the match performance from Hibbo i think. Not easy switching from right-back to centre-half but i thought for the two games he’s had to switch, he’s done it well. Especially with Coleman and Duffy in defence with him. I thought he done fantastic. He definately is a Top lad. COYB

Watched the game in USA on DirectTV. A solid performance from all concerned. Collectively they worked their socks off. Pienaar was a standout but credit too to the much maligned Jo who did a lot in this game,in addition to making the first goal. A captains performance from Cahill also. We deserved to hold out for the win when they threw everything at us in the last 10 minutes. Credit to the young kids.A part from getting lucky with the late penalty appeal, Coleman put the Benfica game solidly behind him
