Blackburn Rovers (Away)

Having watched the highlights on football first I must say I've seen us play a lot worse. We were poor but we managed to nick 3 points. A lot of the lads looked nervous and 2 of our 'big' players in felli and arteta clearly aren't fully fit. I'm glad for this international break - it'll give key players time and let all involved focus on the next game.

 

All in all - poor performance, excellent result.

That's pretty much all I'll need to read in this thread!

 

I know lets dominate, play some nice football and lose!? All that matters today is we got 3 points - 3 points against a team who needed a performance as they'd lost their first 2 so were more than likely fired up for this one.

 

3 points - we've got something to build on. Fuck the performance - I seem to remember playing dreadful a few times in the 2004-05 season and winning - where did that get us?

 

For me the result is a strong foundation to build on after the international break... this will be a distant memory as we set-up against Villa, it'll just be 3 points from 2 games.

 

People need to remember we dominated Blackburn and played some good football at the beginning of last season - I know which result I'm happier with...

 

Oh and Liverpoo are playing really well and winning 3-0... Moyes out and sell Jags!!! - BORE OFF!!!!

 

You seem to be missing the point that if we play like that throughout the course of the season then we would most likely be in the relegation zone, if not bottom. QPR who were shite, won fairly confortably and Blackburn who were equally as poor at times should have won 3-4 nil. If you happy with that then fine, but I sure as fuck am not.

 

Im not saying for one minute I want us to dominate games, play perfect football and win 5 nil, I just want to see all the players & manager show us that they actually want to play for Everton and not like they have there head up their arses. There was nothing in that game that we could build on, not even a glimmer of hope as far as Im concerned.

 

I didnt necessarily mean Moyes should get the sack, but if we play like that week in week out then he should and lets face it, its been like this for the most part of 2 years. He seems to start putting something together, then reverts straight back to type after that. Both this game and the QPR game show that he doesnt seem to have a clue, yet strangely the Sheffield game gave me some hope. I have no problem with people making mistakes but he makes the same ones time and time and time again. For me that isn't good enough and while I would love him to turn it around and prove me wrong, I simply dont see it. Maybe a game here and there, but he will change it and we will be right back to square one.

 

Just for the record, we were crap last year against Blackburn with the same problems being evident. We didnt deserve anything from that game, and we didnt deserve anything from this.

 

I would also look to get rid of Jags on current form, for good money. He did do some decent stuff in that game but he is fucked up in every game and in our current situation somewhere around £15mil would be a cracking price.

We won't play like that week in week out though and we will be towards the top of the league over the course of the season. Unfortunately due to financial constraints that will be seen as a good season.

 

I don't see much of what Moyes could have done differently re. line-up yesterday...

Should Hibbert have started? I think so.

Should Heitinga stayed CB? I think so but who would have replaced Rodwell in the middle? Cahill needed dropping according to some.

Should we have played 2 up top? Well we should have vs QPR no doubt but Moyes obviously doesn't see Beckford and Anichebe as a combination that is good enough for the Premier League.

 

Bringing on Cahill at that time was a good substitution - we needed more leadership on the pitch.

 

People on here are taking out our shit financial state and complete lack of transfer activity on what's going on, on the pitch. Yes we were very poor, but to say it's the worst performance ever is a huge over statement based on a shit summer. Re. QPR any other day we'd have beaten them or at least saved a point - what if Baines had hit that FK 1 inch lower? - different story.

 

The facts are we have 3 points from 2 games - I would have expected at least 4 from those fixtures but it could be a lot worse.

 

We played okay against QPR without any finish/ wasted opportunities, we looked lively vs Sheff.Utd, controlled the game and progressed in the cup, we got a lucky 3 points away to Blackburn and played poor - end of the fucking world!!!

 

A lot of people on here are letting their disappointment of our shocking summer blow yesterdays performance out of proportion - everyone needs to chill the fuck out and get behind the boys. If we can't do anything before Wednesday then let's support who we've got!

 

Yes I get your point - I just think it's a knee-jerk blown out of proportion point clouded by other activities going on off the pitch.

Comparing yourself to a prem footballer because you took a few pens down the park, HA HA

 

Fuck you pal, where did I compare myself to a prem footballer! As you keep constantly saying in your posts, where did I say that exactly!??? And how the fuck do you know where and at what standard I might or might not have taken a penalty????

We have all taken pens, be shocked if 100% of the people on this forum have not played football at some level, so unless your telling me you reached a very high level then what you said is irrelevant

Well he's deliberatly trying to piss me off and it's working! He doesn't know me so how can he possibly comment on my life and if I'm making stuff up, in fact I find most off his arrogant comments disrespectful and make the forum a worse place since he joined, which is a shame as I used to really enjoy the posts on here.

Get pissed off him by all means but there's no need to resort to calling him a prick etc.
