Easily Pienaar. Fought really hard for the ball and his goal was a cracker.

[Sprooly]

gotta be pienarr

 

im gutted atm

[dark]

Without any shadow of a doubt Pienaar gets my vote. His goal was so well taken and his work rate was once again top class. I don't know what else we could have asked from him after that display. As expected I'm a little gutted about the draw but at least we get a point and go one step closer to securing European football. We can still take Villa as they now go another game without a win. They are so much for the taking.

 

Neville put in another good captains peformance and didn't deserve to get booked. Referee lost the plot towards the end

Lescott and Jagileka did well in the defence. Lescott's tackle wasn't a penatly IMO and I hope that Jagielka is fit for the semi's (should be)

Fellaini & Cahill worked well today in the middle

Jacobsen put in a good performance for the time that he was on the field. More games like that and he could give Moyes some thinking time.

 

Worst player IMO was Jo. Didn't get into the game at all, Saha seemed to look a little bit more involved whereas Jo seemed distant. Don't think he's going to secure a permanant deal now. Based on money and performances.

 

What was on his shirt btw?

 

'God is Love/Life?'

 

Oh and once again, Setanta commentators = Nobheads.

[Jimmy the blue]

I named the Pieman our MOM in the match report thread and I see no reason to change that view

[Jimmy the blue]

Oh and once again, Setanta commentators = Nobheads.

 

That Craig Burley is he a retired international wanker, that is all he is fit for

i think it said "God is Great" but i'm not 100% sure.

 

i gave my vote to Lescott.

[234ever]

I gave my vote to Baines ...

don't really know why, probably because noone really stood out for me, not even Pienaar.

[Maghull70]

Pienaar was by no means faultless but deserves MOTM, he looked our most creative player.

Cahill was solid enough in midfield. Fellaini was good in parts. Hibbert had a bit of a torrid time, didnt deserve his yellow card (and neither did Neville) both from Ashley Young dives.

 

Jo was ordinary, only seems to perform well at Goodison.

 

Anyway, Pienaar for me (and I'm not his greatest fan so he mustve been decent to get my vote).

[Romey 1878]

Pienaar. A VAST improvement from him, he looks to have pulled his finger out.

[Guest efctaxi]

I don't think anyone ( with the exception of hoofer Howard ) played particularly bad today , and though I gave my vote to Pienaar , I thought going forward we did ok , and the lads passed it around nicely .

 

Osman was probably our worst outfield player today , which is becoming a bit of a habit , and his lack of consistency is something that needs to be addressed .

 

We still looked a very good team for long periods of the match , but need to stop switching off .

[DonKey]

I thought Jo did alright today. Got involved, dropped deep a few times, and linked the play up quite well (at times).

 

Pienaar, as always, worked his knackers off and made up he got his goal.

 

Cahill and Felleini were neat aswell. Think Cahill has really hit some good form last couple of games. Not only has he been a threat in the box, but he seems to be contributing a hell of a lot to the team as whole.

[Everton_Worshiper]

Piennar was fab, best I have seen from him for a while - someone please get him to a hair stylist.

Hibbert had a shocker, he does not like playing against Young. Baines looked good (as usual). Cahill great 1st half average 2nd. Neville was a rock.

 

Fellaini, hmmmm, bench him for the semi final.

[StevO]

i gave it to fellaini, thought he was very tidy and even his short passing seems to have improved a lot, silly tackles are better now too

[Churinga2]

Pienaar for me, hard work and beautiful goal!

none of the other blues were outstanding imo.

 

 

Fellaini, hmmmm, bench him for the semi final.

 

yes, he only scored 4 goals in the last 5 games, poor to say the least

[fast lane]

For me Steven Pienaar too.

[Everton_Worshiper]

yes, he only scored 4 goals in the last 5 games, poor to say the least

 

Got it in one, well done. Do you want a blue peter badge?

I hereby declare you the official Toffee Talk smarty pants

Pip for me, broke up a fair few of their attacks where the way we defended we would have conceded.

Stevie P was immence though
