Good that we are 0-2 up.Either we were quality with splitting passes or their defence was sleeping.....Pinar seems good with his skills....YAK in most occassion seems lazy...Arteta was not his usual self....but Lescott was rock solid!...in the end, we deserve the win!

Hopefully we win comfortably 0-2...and i do not want a penalty given to us by a silly ref decision where we eventually win 0-1, else the red shites will be here crying foul!! hahaha

Well here is the link for the goals for those who needs it...

--Is there any links to videos of red shites penalties + our penalty claims + our sent offs + their NOT sent offs?

-- I hope i can have the video to shut some red shite's mouth in my office.....These cheats are claiming they were 100% saints!! I just farted on their face and walked away smiling!! lol

Hey Pals...Help me out on these please (if you can)......

1) Was Ibrahima Bakayoko the shite player he was when he played for us or was he much better as known for his flair and tricks?

2)Is there any links to watch the entire game or at least the goals?

Thanks a million!!

Cheers!!

When will we keep a clean sheet? lol

Cahill is back and time to bounce from the derby shortchange by dear ref.......positive outlook and i am going for 3-0 win......

Individually we have one of the best defence in the league.Yobo,,,Lescott are one of the best you can find in the league.If you can recall, many of us were excited as we believed this defence would be so great that we will let in much lesser goals then last season.Instead, we are letting in much more!! So what causes this? What is the difference?? STUBBS!! yep u heard it right! It's Alan Stubbs who is the difference. When he plays, thought he is not pacy, he leads our defence!! He directs the defender and he communicates with the rest!! He has no reservation in letting his fellow defenders know about how he feels!!!

But now, if you see YOBO and LESCOTT, they not do communicate as much as stubbs does and nor do they direct players like Hibbert when he fails to perform...they silently defends till we conceed!!

Do you agree? I strongly believe that STUBBS and his experience is the key difference between last years defence and this years!

Comments?

Is there any Video post of the goals scored maybe in youtube or somewhere?

Hi there, lads!

I wanted to write you guys yesterday, but than I decided to wait until the end of the game.

Let me introduce myself first: My name is Oleksiy, I'm 25, I live and work in Kharkiv. I do not consider myself to be a great Metalist fan, but as a Kharkiv citizen I support any successes of my city, whether it's economics or football.

Its Nice to see a loyal citizen like yourself with pride..congrats!

1. As a former soviet union country most of our elder generation can understand English, but not speak it. (it was the policy of the party in order to prevent people expressing their thoughts). So, please, do not say that smb's English is poor! I bet, that none of you can speak a word in Ukrainian! And hardly any of you visited metalist fan's web site.

You were right....at least for me i did not visit any metalist fan site. I do not even know if i need any special fonts in my web browser!!!

2. In your posts here I read some insulting things like "mentalists" and stuff like that. Do you know how our fans welcomed yours?- I bet none of you would dare to say something bad!Apologies.. we could have handled that better i guess Do you know that our city haven't hosted European cups' games for 19 years because of the poor economics? Congarats mate!! you are progressing in the direction!!- it was a real celebration for our city to host YOUR teamAre we?? Phew!! We made history again!! thanks!! Do you know that our team now is among the best teams of Ukraine like Dymano Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk? (We finished 3rd in the last championship with lack of just 2 points from the Champions league) I am sure this season you would do better...good luck pal

3. "poor team?" I really do not think, that Everton is any better team than we areAt this point of time you may be right .... You guys were very lucky yesterday! But for the last game's sending off the field our main defence players, you wouldn't have scored yesterday at all!We would be at loss if we have lost few key players like Arteta,T.H or Lescott, but at the end of the day, its football.Cheer up and do not take ant banters seriously. I do not wanna hear that you got a heart attack due to football!!

But, nevertheless, good for you and good luck! In all fair comments, thanks for the history and thanks for pointing out.We shall strive to be better as in person and as a team

Cheers!

Do come back pal...hope we have better stuffs to discuss in future....good luck pal! ..God bless and peace for all

hibbert didnt mark him out of the game, every bit of danger came from him

Agreed...but i liked the way Stubbs was frowning at Hibbert for his defensive lapses....Guess Stub's experience and commitment is invaluable no doubt he is slow as age has caught up with him.Unlike Yobo, Stubbs does not think twice to direct what he feels about Hibbert. His guidance is a big plus point for me which Yobo has failed to do.Stubbs communicates more and makes his presence felt. A loyal servant who deserves our respect....In all, we deserve the tree point as we were a bit more classier den them. It could have been 3-3 at half time but end of the day the better team won.

There is plenty to learn from today's game....Villa deserves it for they were tight and were always the first to the second ball.......We use to be the first to second ball and this season we seems to be ball watching!! what da fick are we not going for the second half...??? And whenever we have a free kick why do we always take ages to take it? why dont we take a quick one and catch them with supprise?? third, we do need a real creative midfielder...!! this is what happens when we reply only on Arteta!!!... i am pissed but credit to Villa! Fuckin players better wake up!!!!

Our Goalie seems like another Richard Wright!!! He is lousy with high balls and low balls!!!! He has no balls???..............The defence is standing strong apart from the sloppy goal we conceeded...................The midfield lacks creativity.Osman is too light weight......Pinar has only occassional good touch....................The forwards? Let's be fair,Johnson is doing his best trying to create something out of nothing but Anichibi is a waste!! Not even a fuckin single header he has won!!!...............................................................

Second half calls for immediate change.....replace Anichibi with Yakubu ...........................replace Osman with McFaddie and we could have a better game i suppose! .....Else a fair result could only be a 1-1 at most....and if it ends up 1-0 Villa were lucky has the ball fell luckily at Villa players feet for that goal........................

...............Will update at the end of second half!...................Cheers!

Ok whatever has happened will only make the resturn game more exciting,,,we will have to play till our last breath and we will,...and we will will and progress!

Guess we miss Arteta and Grave in this game as much!

Why is Johnson taking penalties when his confidence is so low? He blew up two penalties in the same game!

Away game, a goaless draw and we are out!! Another blow in europe!???

A Johnson Missed A Penalty In Dying minutes! Should Have Been 2-1!! Not good at all!

Damn 1-1 ...few more minutes to go....

Predict 4-0 scoreline!

There was nothing much to choose from the two teams though man utd had more shots i guess....hard done by the goal....Hibbert was ok..always liked him but he needs to shift one more gear up....As for Arteta and baines i felt they had a good game...these two outplayed Ronaldo well....In fact we were equal to Man Utd apart from the goal....but i do agree we need more creative player....should have replaced Osman with McFaddie long ago....anyway see the positives....we were equal to Man Utd in todays game!

From the Man Utd Offical Page

"With the game entering the final ten minutes, the match appeared headed for a draw. And on account of Everton’s undoubted improvement this season, a draw at Goodison Park is by no means anything to be ashamed of..."......

That goes to say we have improved and the "big four" takes us seriously now!

Hey we bought approximately 19M worth of players and isn't that a record for us? lol...

Ok let's be logical....Dm is not a manager who will splash out 10-12M on one player on the last day of transfer i guess....So the thought od Apiah/Riq just does not happen on the last day i suspect if their price is above 7M....DM will never splash out...he will try to get them on loan instead.....Then again, let's hope we have the cash come January to buy some good players!

Does he have a passport to play or he too needs some clearance?

Let's hope we are not disappointed in this one as well.....phew!

Any progress ? Any News?
