Angel Dí Maria

 

EDIT: And so we're clear, I'm exercising my democratic right to tell all the candidates to FUCK OFF WITH THAT PERFORMANCE

Angel Dí Maria was a different level tonight... gosling was very very poor tonight, jo is shite and what was howard doing on the 5th goal???? the first half i think we played well but the 2nd half benfica rose to the challenge, i would prob give MOTM to distin if it wernt for him we could have lost about 7-0

[marcopaulo]

THEY CAN ALL GO AND FUCK RIGHT OFF!!

Kidding? I completely agree!

[EFC-Paul]

After that second half i don't think any one of our players deserve any such credit, Not sure how anyone can really vote for Gosling and Coleman both very poor and torn to pieces albeit they where out of their depth.

[Bailey]

I vote Howard... He picked the ball out of his net with great precision and technique

[Everton_Worshiper]

Saha, he at least hit the post and always looks dangerous.

I thought Coleman looked OK, he is good going forward but his defending needs some work. For a young nobody on his first full game he looked good.

 

I have been good so far this season but Fellaini was utter shite...there I said it. Oh and Cahill looked shocking, worst I have seen from him. If we actually had a midfield it would have been a bit better...oh well.

[jamiemaher85]

Distin for me. But Di Maria was a class above. Brilliant.

[holystove]

At times like these I really miss my friend Baahdi :crying_anim02: .

[Maghull70]

Honestly, No-One deserves MOTM. Someone said that they gave it to Saha coz he hit the post and sadly that is what it comes down to. Think if I had to vote for anyone then Saha is the only candidate for that reason alone.

 

We were totally outclassed. OK so we had a pathetic makeshift defence but they closed us down in all parts of the ground and I was well impressed with Benfica. I still think we will have 'em at Goodison though.

 

Fail to see how some players like Coleman, Gosling and Hibbert can get votes (and no points for guessing as to who voted for Cahill).

 

One almost positive was that rasping shot on the volley from Billy. If that had gone in (and it wasnt that far away) it wouldve been goal of the season.

 

Shite performance BUT half the team was missing so its not the end of the world. (glass half full and all).

[Romey 1878]

Distin.

[craigb]

i voted for yakubu because at the 55 minute mark i was high on every prescription drug possible and i could swear i seen the yak net a hatrick???

[Lowensda]

Distin for me, he had to cover CB, LB and RB...so ive gotta give him that on the basis he covered 4 positions.

[StevO]

I gave my vote to coleman, you could see he tried his arse off there. not ideal for your debut. and remember, 12 months ago he was playing in the irish leagues, and last night found himself in an away european tie at Benfica!

Distin needs credit becuase he had the hardest job in football last night.

 

massive credit to benfica, they ripped us apart and they have some truely different class players to us. their fans must be very excited about this team right now, scoring goals for fun!

 

id like to see us there with a full strength team, maybe next year.

stevo we will just have them at goodison! Hopefully pienaar, yobo, baines, osman will be back, and we will know a little more about how to combat there threats

[duncanmckenzieismagic]

I gave it to Saha because he wasnt quite as bad as everybody else

 

I dont really understand people voting for the likes of Coleman & Gosling just because they were played out of position and totally out of thier depth

[iggy]

I am exercising my right to withold my vote.....

[The Beard]

Any chance we can vote for our support. The Eagle that flies down into the centre circle before Benfica games made better moves than all of our players put together.

 

I have always advocated that a man of the match should always be available as no matter how bad you where someone has to be better than someone else..................however, on that performance that theory may have been blown out of the water BUT I will stick to my principle and my vote goes for Howard. If people thought Disitn had a tough job marshalling the defence then Howard had a tougher job protecting it and he did make a couple of decent stops late on to save further embarrassment.

well I want to know who voted for him because he was fucking pathetic.

[MikeO]

well I want to know who voted for him because he was fucking pathetic.

My guess would be that it's a couple of the Benfica fans who've visited.

[StevO]

well I want to know who voted for him because he was fucking pathetic.

 

in his defence, he is a midfielder.
