I voted Jagielka. Heitinga a close second.

[Steve_E]

I voted Anichebe. Scored a cracking goal and had an overall good game.

 

Jagielka gave Jerome too much space for his goal.

[jcrawfor]

Arteta for once again being our lone creative for. Vic and Jags also deserve a shout.

[milky71]

Jags was at fault for both goals yet he still gets MoM absolute joke

jonny for me

[marcopaulo]

jags made one good clearance that i noticed...the second goal was down to him and his pathetic defending allowing jerome to head it...and baines for not closing gardner down..vic for me that was the best performance i have seen from him in a long time!

[EFC-Paul]

Gave it to Vic although he wasn't outstanding he was far better today then past appearances and rightfully deserves credit when its due, Lets hope he can keep it up and prove myself and many other's wrong.

Ankle ligaments out for the remainder.

Really?

[milky71]

Really?

only a guess

[Ian C]

only a guess

 

Then why did you mention it?

 

Fucking WUMs.

[thehelmet]

Gave it to Arteta, I started watching to late to see Vic's goal and from what I saw he didn't really do much. Arteta got himself involved allover, Peanuts looked to have a mostly frustrating game and the fluke goals Birmingham scored came because of small yet unnecessary mistakes..

 

I kind of felt we should've had a penalty though..

[blueblood]

Gave it to Arteta for the display in the first half. Everton never came out in the second half and I thought every the midfield especially was very poor.

 

The midfield couldn't get a touch second half and the game was crying out for Rodwell to come on and take Pienaar off- who was massively poor imo- yet Moyes held out until they equalised.

 

Vic looks like he could be out, Saha out, Vaughan at Leicester, wrap the Yak in cotton wool for the next 9 games!!!

 

Poor second half display, should never have let a 2 goal lead slip.

I'm with you on the penalty claim. I'm sick of this ball to hand lark. OK so sometimes ball to hand is understandable but when the hand stops a shot from going goalwards or stops the ball from reaching another player for me that is Hand Ball.

 

Arteta for MOTM.

[marcopaulo]

moyes said neither injury seems too bad...never know what that can mean like but sounds hopeful

[holystove]

Jags was at fault for both goals yet he still gets MoM absolute joke

jonny for me

 

Noone was at fault for their goals ... Both of them were lucky strikes. Jags got my vote ahead of Heitinga because he was solid in his defending and had the added pressure of having a poor defender like Distin (bad position, poor build up ..) next to him.

[BrotherEstapol]

Didn't catch the match...how'd Donovan go on his last game?

[nutmegwolf203]

Didn't catch the match...how'd Donovan go on his last game?

 

 

He got next to no time to make an impact. The match was quite flat by the time he came on.

[duncanmckenzieismagic]

Never thought I would here myself say this but I totally agree with milky Jags was at fault for both goals, especially the second one, so I cant understand why anyone would give him MoM

 

In hindsight I think we should have taken both the Yak and Vic off after the firat 20 minutes because niether could be arsed after they got thier goals

 

I gave it to Arteta who I thought looked the best of a bad bunch

[inertia8]

Vic' talking about fighting for his place for the rest of the season, so I think he's probably just twisted his ankle and jarred his knee perhaps.. I'd guess he'll be rested for a week then back.
