Jesse11 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Jags. If Yakubu gets 1 vote im going to slit my wrists. How can someone who weighs 90 kgs consistently go to ground so easily. Offered nothing all match. I will be spewing if he starts next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonKey Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm really tempted to put Yakubu to see what happens.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Jags. The guy is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amb3r-3fc Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Jags Oc Fellaini In The First Half Always Seemed To Be Gettin Stuck In Tho But Jags Deffo For Me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Nobody really stood out for me today, even Jagielka made some poor decisions throughout the game. I thought that James Vaughan made an important contribution when he came on and really made the attack look threatening for the last few minutes that he played. Fellaini had a good all-round performance and that is why he gets my vote. I agree with Jesse about Yakubu. He did score, congratulations, but he went down too easy again, looked lazy again and other than the goal he didn't contribute again. I'm getting more and more happy with letting him go come January.

jamiemaher85 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Neville for me. The only player who tried to create anythng, he did his own job very well and made up for the lack of contribution from eother of the "wingers". Jags is a close second but for me he made a few silly minor mistakes and seemed a little off pace than usual. He seemed keep being caught by about half a yard.

dark Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Turnbull breathed another sigh of relief after appearing to bring down Yakubu inside the box, and Everton kept the pressure on with Joseph Yobo heading over after Mikel Arteta played a short corner to Phil Neville on the right. From the match report over at Sky Sports. The thing for me is that I can't remember which incident that they're talking about he went down that often. I mean, maybe it was a penalty but because Webb had waved away so many poor dives that he just branded the foul as a dive. If he does it every single time he breaks into the box then he's less likely to get a penalty when he does get brought down unfairly. I hope he dosen't settle for this goal and goes on another 9 game streak of doing nothing, falling over and complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I gave it to Jags too. He made some important tackles to stop their player getting through while Yobo was daydreaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Phil Neville for me, looked solid at the back and got forward well at times, i also think Tim Cahill had a good first half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 same old yak, plays terrible and grabbed a goal. arteta seemed hopeless, lescott was good going forward but still poor at the back. jags wasnt at his best but still as reliable as ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everton_Worshiper Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well for once without a doubt Fellaini gets my vote. I was pleasanty impressed with his performance yesterday, can't remember any wayward passes (anyone have his pass completion stats from the game?). I thought Jags had an OK game, not his usual standard. 2 players that for me needn't have been on the pitch, Arteta & Cahill. Yakubu did his job, got a goal.

Jesse11 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I thought Cahill was good. He genuinely wanted to get the ball and ran further and harder than Arteta has all year. Made a few mistakes but at least he had a crack and wasn't content to just play it back to the defenders everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ah, but we probably havn't scored yet in australia. Time differences. Thats the excuse he uses for everything else so it probably applies to this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but who scored the equaliser that got us a vital 1 point..? Good performance or bad performance, he scored a goal to get us a draw.

But how do you know what the score might have been had he not played? Vaughan up front or Pienaar starting with TC pushing further forward we may have won. We'll never know .

Vaughan up front or Pienaar starting with TC pushing further forward we may have won. We'll never know . It may have been 0-1 may have been 1-1, the only facts we have is Yak scored an equaliser. I cannot see TC having an impact on a game on his current form...Vaughan maybe, lets see how he goes on Tuesday for U21's if he gets a game.

StevO Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 how you can defend the yak is beyond me, he was the worst player on the pitch. but he was the same most of last season, but if he still gets vital goals he needs to be on the pitch. hes not the kind of player to chase lost causes and cause a riot for the defenders, but give him a chance in the box he puts it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse11 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I agree that we need him on the pitch because he can pull goals from his arse. But for fuck sake I just wish he would stay on his feet once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
