Ian C Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm immensely proud of Everton's work-ethic, and I hope we keep being recognised for it. As long as they also recognise we're playing some great football at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 ^^^ Yeah, what he said ^^^ In 3 games against RS, and against Arsenal and United I didnt see much pretty football, but from now till end of season i will be disappointed if we dont play some much better stuff.

Not to pile on, but I agree. We try to grind out results against the top 4. We play solid at the back (In fact, we are almost playing with 2 defensive midfielders now that Arteta has a new role), capitalize on set pieces, and rely on other teams to get sloppy. Teams like Manchester United will always be favorites against this because of their patience, but I'd go as far to say we are the best set piece team in the attacking third. Now yes, we did play some attractive stuff against Bolton. If you didn't notice though, our ability to finish from open play is actually pretty bad, besides Cahill and the Yak. That game should've easily been 5-0 or 6-0 honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Churinga2 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 let's not forget that Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool are considered not only some of the best in england, but in the world, and apart from against Manchester United we didn't do bad at all: we were better then liverpool last game (arguable, i know), and definatly better than arsenal. I think it is an advantage that not every one reckognises our good football, let them underestimate us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 the football we played against arsenal was pretty fluent and i think they are quite a decent side We did do some good pieces of football against Arsenal but I think that the reason for such a good month was down to sheer hard-work. Once the Liverpool game was out of the way we could get back to playing 'naff' teams and this allowed us to play football. We'll see a lot more skill in the next few games from the whole team (including Jô) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two sides to it though Unrecognised - Underestimated, and this helps us to win games Recognised - Much better quality of players to attract. Moutinhio would come in a flash if we boasted Champions League status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Chelsea wish they had half the work rate we do, they might just be in with a chance of winning something if they had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
