Top Of The Table


Dodge

Recommended Posts

So thus far we have smashed both Wigan and Tottenham and we have stormed up to the top of the table thanks to some Arteta magic.

 

With the clubs haviing foreign takeovers, we seem to be doing much better than these pretenders, the mancs, chelsea and livershite.

 

We are now top of the table and its going to be like that for the remainder of the season!

Don't be silly...we have played 2 games, everyone else has played 1. Look at Portsmouth last season, off the a flying start then not even in Europe by the end.

Hopefully we end up top 6 but it is going to be a long hard season...

If that read Man u, Liverpool and Blackburn I would have said 3 tough games. But know where your coming from, dont think there are too many easy games

Did you notice Lescotts reaction to the Spurs goal last night?Head in hands!he knew

he'd made a mistake,and boy did it hurt.That was the second goal this season to come

from a bad piece of marking.Lescotts reaction I hope shows his determination to not

make those silly mistakes....add that to the way Howard is playing and the fact that

Baines should also help improve things at the back,and theres every hope that teams

will find it very hard to break us down.

 

Being top for even a short period is nice,enjoy....Spurs fans would swap with us!

Spurs will still be top six.....and I think it's fair to say we wont finish top!

 

BUT.....Those next three games are winable if we play like last night,when lets be honest

we could have won that 5-1 if not for Robinson....Then the confidence factor could/should

kick in and we may well not slip out of the top 6 ourselves.

 

beating 2 crap teams is hardly an achievement

 

Wouldn't call Spurs at home a crap team.......A LUCKY win away at a poor Villa,now

that's what I'd call hardly an achievement!!

Think it's really important to get a good start and have a decent haul of points before the UEFA kicks in. If we're knocking along in mid-table then the extra commitments in Europe would start to take it out of people and maybe we'd get a bit of subconscious cruise control in the league....seen it happen to many teams in the past. While we're pushing along in the top five or six (or one :D ) the incentive to stay there will push the team on. Really is a dream start, three points at Reading (which will I think be harder than at Spurs) and we're looking very good. Seven point from nine would be an excellent start, nine would be great.

I wouldn't say it was a real error, he done Lescott with great movement for he header simple as, maybe he could have blocked him off if he was in the right space but he wasn't. It won't happen again anyway.

Everton have made one of their best starts in many seasons - winning their first two matches convincingly and now looking towards the Reading game for their next three points. They are also sitting proudly on top of the Premier League table and there is even talk about them breaking into the top four. So is this brash arrogance, or are David Moyes's boys really destined for the big time?

 

As the saying goes, the ball is round and anything can happen. But there are a three important factors that can either deflate that ball or make it zip around much faster.

 

How many more players will Everton bring in? Even though Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka and Steven Pienaar are quality performers, the squad is still rather threadbare. To last the distance, Moyes really needs to draft in classy players such as Manuel Fernandes and Yakubu, as well as blood a few more youngsters from the academy to provide that necessary cover.

 

What will the injury list be like? The influential Tim Cahill and James Vaughan are currently in the treatment room, but more importantly, how long will Goodison talisman Mikel Arteta stay free from injury? Arteta draws physical attention in every game that he plays, so Moyes may have to use him more sparingly to try to keep him injury-free.

 

Who will continue to score the goals? Of the five Everton have netted so far, only one came from a striker - Victor Anichebe. The rest were scored by defenders Joleon Lescott and Alan Stubbs, plus two from midfield dynamo Leon Osman.

 

My view is that if the Toffees bring in good solid players, keep the injuries to a minimum, and continue to contribute goals from defence and midfield, there will be no stopping them breaking into the top four
