Every time I have seen Everton on tv this season, it's been like watching paint dry. The match against Chelsea last night was so boring aided and abetted by a similar functional Chelsea side who could pass just slightly better. Their style of stopping the opposition play has obviously worked reasonably well for them but they SEEM to be totally devoid of any sort of flair. Not sure whether they created one decent chance the whole game and Chelsea were the same. I know that as far as Everton supporters are concerning (like all supporters), it's a results driven game and they are no doubt delighted with their season but as a neutral that game was like watching paint dry.

I didn't watch the game but to be fair to Everton, some of their more creative players were missing. Arteta and Cahill are big losses for them.

No Artetta No Osman No Cahill take 3 of the best players out of any midfield and see how well they play . If liverpool lost Gerrard Alonso and Macherano or chelsea lost Lampard essien joe cole . or Utd lost ronaldo scholes and hargreaves you see where im going with this.

Everton fans are far from a result driven set of fans after the win at Derby they where furious with the display the last 4 or 5 games have been terrible last night was a little better at least we passed it and went at them.

I enjoyed last nights game thought it was a good old fashioned physical game , but its at the end of a season everton have prob played nearly 50+ games with long runs in the carling cup and Uefa with a tiny squad which ment the starting 11 played in nearly every game Carsley for example has played nearly every minute of the season at 34 years old !! Its starting to show on the team now.

If you where expecting free flowing silky football you where looking in the wrong place.

At least Tom Hicks seems to like watching Everton........

**anto1208** · 11/05/2008, 11:04 PM

Great result to finish off a good season all round, 21 goals from YAk !!! 10 for Lescott. And when you think that we played large chunks of the season with out Cahill and Artetta.

Secured 5th place with 5 points to spare Moyes needs to be given a big budget to go get who he needs in the summer and keep what he has.

**anto1208** · 12/05/2008, 2:30 PM

Oh yea and it only took us 37 games and 81 minutes to finally get a penalty !!!

**Roadend** · 13/05/2008, 9:50 AM

No wonder Johnson's tally is so low this season

Incase anyone didnt get to see it here's Jose Baxter's first senior goal he has just turned 16 ive been banging on about him since he was 14 another great talent coming through all ready signed up to Rooneys agent and had a boot deal with Nike since he was 14.

Good to see the kids getting a run out in preseason Rodwell looks a tidy player then up front Lucas and Agard are both quality strikers Kissock and baxter have done well on the wings. And another kid that came on O Kane aswell looks good. If 2 of them can make the step up this season it will be good i reckon Rodwell and Lucas with a few others getting a chance due to the ridiculously small squad again.

AJ gone for 13 mill , Wyness quits, Moutinho and ochoa bids expected and moyes wont sign untill he gets the players he wants in. Finally some action

Not fishing here Anto but that's stupid money for an average player IMO. Great business by Everton.

Artetta takes the spot kicks it took us 37 games and 82 minutes to get given one last year so its should nt be a big concern

Moyes had to take it. i think it will rise to 13 with apearances etc bout 11 mill in cash is still crazy money for him. Good player not a big loss if he is replaced and when you consider the Yak was 11 and got 21 goals getting 13mill for AJ is like xmas time

**drinkfeckarse** · 01/08/2008, 11:02 AM

Yeah Yakubu is twice the player Johnson is. How's he been pre-season? One for my shortlist for my dream team

He was away with nigeria playing WC qualifiers and is only just back played in the last game, i didnt see it so not sure how he played but Moyes wasnt happy with any of them.

**OwlsFan** · 29/08/2008, 4:50 PM

Didn't see the game the other night but another close call for Liverpool. Stanley Park also on hold due to lack of funding. Make or break this year for Benitez I suspect. Badly needs another major trophy and please God Robbie will score soon score.

**OwlsFan** · 06/01/2009, 8:50 AM

Just thought I might bump this thread with the separate threads going on Steven Gerrard x2 and Tony Hibbert and with the Merseyside derbys x2 coming up soon.

**Dillo** · 13/01/2009, 12:14 PM

Three quick points to make;

I am confident Everton will give as good as they get from Liverpool over the next two weeks. I believe we will triumph in at least one of the games.

Secondly that Tony Hibbert post is ridiculous, he's been a great servant to Everton, reliable and tough in the tackle. Better than any right full Liverpool have had in recent times and that includes Josemi!!!

Thirdly, I believe Arsenal have the quality to win the league, the FA Cup and the Champions League.
