Steve_E Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) I've went for Distin. Think he had a great game. Dealt really well with whatever Stoke tried in those last 15 minutes. Was glad to see Saha and Bily having lively appearances. Edited October 30, 2010 by Steve_E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 ive looked at this for about 15 mins now... Distin probably was the best all round to be fair. Dont remember him puttin a foot wrong. Arteta was much better today but should leave all setpieces for Baines who had a very good game too. He looked tired in the last 20 mintues though and was lucky to be deemed 'fouled' for their goal . Pienaar put in a shift though didnt do as well as i expect him to do, as did Cahill who was battered senseless. He couldve been raped on the field and wouldnt have got a freekick. Not sure I agree about Saha making a "lively" appearance, dont think he added much. Yak played well and a cracking goal but still goes down quicker than a cheap hooker, still second best player out there, good to see him smiling again. Pip was solid, Coleman made too many little mistakes but tried hard and Howard had nothing to do. Johnny was unfortunately average again but worked hard i suppose. Bily wasnt on the pitch long enough (that why hes missing from the above Mike?) to really judge though wish he had hit it once he had intercepted it. Average game but 3 points, so not going to complain too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Bily wasnt on the pitch long enough (that why hes missing from the above Mike?) to really judge though wish he had hit it once he had intercepted it. Updated now....not at home and struggling with wi-fi connection, hence the delay. Saw nothing of the game but it seems to me to be the sort of performance against a particular type of opposition at Goodison that all too often ends in a 0-0. So I'll happily take the three points and move on . No idea on MOTM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Yakuuuuuuuubu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Arteta for me, thought he bossed the game well from midfield. Yak took his goal well and showed a few glimpses of what he was capable of and I thought Baines was good at both ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Distin - solid again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftaylor Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 yakubu- so glad he hit the target. He looked a little timid and relieved after he finally scored but there was nothing timid about that finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 A lot of people could have had it today. Yakubu looked on good form and scored a great goal past Sorensen to win us the game. Mikel Arteta bossed the midfield and was unlucky not to score himself when he hit the post. At the back Jagielka, Distin and Distin had good games with Howard not having a make a save (I don't think?) Anyways, went for Yakubu. I would have gone for Coleman but towards the end he seemed to dissapear. Billy was good too when he came on - get off his back now ffs, he's doing well for us.

At the back Jagielka, Distin and Distin had good games... I'm torn between Distin and Distin myself . :dont know: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 And it was Cahill that hit the post, not Arteta . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 What happened to Sorensen then? I thought he was the Number 1 keeper at Stoke? And I was sure it was Arteta haha, that's what the Bullens End thought anyways haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Given it to Johnny today. He's been poor this season but he was much better today. Helped to free up Arteta in midfield a little more and was getting a little more stuck in, his passing range was closer to where it was during his good run for us at the end of last season. No real star performers today but Yak, Pienaar, Distin and Baines all did well throughout. Everyone just stuck to their jobs today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherEstapol Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 My vote went to Baines. Johnny? Really? He didnt commit to anything! From what I saw of the 2nd half I thought he did pretty well...can't speak for the 1st half though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foobiezw Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Giving it to the big man Yakubu. Best performance from him this season by far. And I'm pretty sure he's not even fully fit yet. And speaking of Arteta, was it just me or did anyone else think he had a shocking first half? Saw at least 7-8 shit passes/touches from him. Picked up heaps in the second though.

rubecula Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Not sure on this one took me a while to think it out. Eventually, just for the work rate and the goal I went for the Yak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopaulo Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 gave it to the big yak...finally scored and made the goal himself it was a terrific finish! perfect forward performance doin what he's done most the season and also grabbin a goal! about the fittest i've ever seen him look too at the moment!

Bailey Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I went for Yakubu, its important for our aspirations that we get our big man scoring and he looks sharper and sharper with each game. Jags & Distin were absolute rocks. Arteta & Heitinga were much better than they generally have been yesterday and it was also a good cameo from Billy at the end.

Ian C Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Went for the Yak. I'll hold my hands up and say that I was one of the loudest voices calling for him to be sold, but massive credit has to go to Moyes's man management skills here, he's worked a miracle.

Everton_Worshiper Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Went for Distin, he has his critics but proved them wrong with this performance. I was most disappointed with the atmosphere though, anyone else think it was very quiet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Distin just edges it for me, has really turned his game around and upped his performances of late. Long may that continue, strong in the air and tackle and a few forays forward, just what the doctor ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
