Guest efctaxi Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Another great performance . I genuinely can't decide at the moment if anyone stood out , but we played so well , I feel like throwing up . One thing for sure is that we play welll with Fellaini . Him or Pienaar probably . Will vote later . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way can man of the match be given to Fellaini for this one. Its similar to the Arteta man of the matches people give, even when hes not at his best.

Maghull70 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Cahill for me. Caused them problems all night and was our only goal threat. He fought well and won a few free kicks an all. Won most battles in the air as well as a few defensive headers. Pity about his foot injury, plus he seemed to have a bit of trouble with his shoulder, constantly holding it towards the end, hope neither injury is too serious. Great ball in from Baines for the goal. Arteta's delivery still seems a little bit rusty at free kicks. I know Arteta is great but I wish we could mix it up and have Baines take some free kicks.

dark Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Cahill did seem to stand out as one of our best players last night. Baines was good at going foreward and put in some good balls to threated Almunia, the cross for the goal especially. He made some good work at the back and made sure that everything was secure, the goal was on the opposite side of the park so there's not much he could have done for that one. Lescott and Jagielka looked solid again until the last minute, so did Hibbert. They all looked really comfortable at the back until the last few minutes when Arsenal stared to throw everything at it. Need to start playing for the full 90 minutes. Fellaini seemed to drift off again, a very average game from him. Not to mention Ozzy never really getting involved and Arteta turning his back every time he made a run. Overall, so dissapointing. Cahill the best man on the pitch.

Everton_Worshiper Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Easily Cahill, should only be 1 option on this vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
234ever Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I thought it was a rather mediocre game of Everton noone really stood out for me! But if I had o give it I'd probably give it to Cahill. What Pienaar did today was unexcusable! When you're up 1-0 in extra time you can't give the ball away so easily! Even a boy of 10 years old knows that! And if you vote for Fellaini as Man of the Match, I can only guess it's because he didn't receive a yellow card!

Guest efctaxi Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Gonna give my vote to Fellaini after some consideration . Can't help feeling there is a bit of a sympathy vote going on here for Timmy . Yes , he was in good form , but that's his job now remember ? To attack the defence and cause problems , and he did it well , but I've noticed that Fellaini makes the whole midfield tick , and I personally think it was his contribution that made the difference . As for Arteta , I don't know what's up with him . He refuses to shoot at goal unless it's a free kick , passes the ball backwards from the edge of the opponents box , and lacks self belief in the big matches . Definitely not a big match player , and starting to wonder if we should actually accept a decent offer for him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jog on....might be a shock for you, he is not a striker yet he is doing a better job than our strikers would have done. I am not a big Cahill fan, never have been, but what he is doing for the team at the moment is amazing. He is what makes us tick at the moment not screech.

scouse Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I thought Mo had a good game to be honest, Cahill done what he always does and does it well, but after missing 2 games i have to give my vote to the big fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsmith69 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 No doubt about this one. TIM CAHILL was by far the best player on the pitch, brilliant all round performance, why he is not our captain i don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 There is one player who never seems to get a mention, (and i honestly think that people are looking at the game with bluetinted specs on and go with the trendy vote for whoever is flavour of the month), and that player is Phil Neville. Since the Wigan debacle he has been consistent, he drives the team on and gets stuck in, showing admirable leadership and a great example of the team work ethic, which has got us on this current run. Forget that he isn't the most accomplished player because all succesful sides need this type of player, he is showing great character, spirit and endeavour, therefore he get's my vote. I await the negative comments with roars of disproval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I voted Cahill, but i must defend Pienaar, ok it was his lapse of concentration in the dying seconds which cost us, but Pienaar covered more ground than anybody else on the field last night, and that is usual for him he always does. He's always back defending (Baines must love playing behind him) he's always up front to help anybody out wether it be Right Left or Centre, always scurrying about like a little mouse, i love him and think he always earns his wages. Some peeps might say he misses some passes and sometimes loses the ball, but theres not a player on earth who doesnt make mistakes. I think he cost us the same as Van Der Meyde. enough said.

Well you are misinformed, go to the thread and read it again. Not once did I say Hibbert is the sole reason for clean sheets, I said he is a stabilising factor. I do not defend him at all costs, I just do not stab the knife in and twist it because he does not have the best distribution in the world. You last sentence inside the brackets doesn't even make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy the blue Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Felliani for me but the back four were magnificent again especially against a forward line that normally tears them apart.

CanadaToffee Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Cahill for me - but there were a few candidates, and I must add my voice to those who wrote Hibbo off a few weeks ago and are now taking it back - the way he's playing now he deserves his spot. While eating crow anyway, I may as well add that Pip has been outstanding in midfied recently much to my surprise.

R1D Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I know he fucked up with that pass at the end but Pienaar for me. Voted Cahill - thought he was excellent yeaterday, but I have to 99% agree with you - Pienaar's workrate was outstanding. Totally committed to the cause.

BlueBri Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Jags, Lescott, Fellaini and Cahill were all outstanding as was everyone. But I went with Pienaar. HArried them in attack and defense all night and created problems for them non stop. It was also his vision that put Baines in that space for the goal. You also have to remember who we were playing, and the fact that Arsenal were not firing was down to Everton not Arsenal, even Wenger admitted that. Great team display though. Hope for more of the same against Man Utd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
