Romey 1878 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Goal and an assist so it's gotta be big Rom. Special mention for Garbutt and McGeady though; I thought they were both fantastic. markjazzbassist 1 Quote
Aidan Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Excited to see the squad Bobby puts out against Krasnador (sp?) with the result not effecting our position in the group. Quote
markjazzbassist Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Lukaku. I've backed him from the beginning, i love the lad. what a match, goal and an assist. he's on a roll! Quote
EFC-Paul Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Goal and an assist so it's gotta be big Rom. Special mention for Garbutt and McGeady though; I thought they were both fantastic. Yeah agree Really impressed by Garbutt he looked very assured hopefully see more of him from now on and glad McGeady bar his glaring miss had a good game he has it in him he just needs to be more consistent Lukaku showed both sides of his game with the opener he had me pulling my hair with that first touch attempt then he got going and showed why he's such a valued player his finishing infront of goal is top draw Quote
MikeO Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Posted November 27, 2014 Luke for me, we've got so much quality at left-back, unreal. Quote
Bailey Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Jagielka for me, thought that was his best game so far this season. Everyone played pretty well on the whole and Lukaku showed his class at times today. McGeady disappointed me a little, he put in a real shift which was really good to see but just fucked things up when it was easier to finish them off. Talented but so frustrating. Quote
MC11 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Distin, immense, no surprise to see Bailey voting for Jagielka. Distin was the stalwart tonight. Quote
gethinO Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Could be anyone from Jags, Garbutt, Distin and Lukaku. Jags didn't put a foot wrong tonight where as Distin was immense defensively but gave the ball away a few times. Considering it was his first real competitive game, Garbutt was quality. I really like the look of him. Tall, strong, quick and an excellent left foot. His corner in the 1st half was our best one this season. Anyone notice he didn't take another one after his first 2? Strange. Chuffed for Lukaku though and showed tonight that if you give him a 1 on 1 he will finish it. Yes, his touch isn't great but we paid 28 million for goals and that's what we got tonight. Ohh and he's only 21! The big guy gets my vote! Quote
Bailey Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Distin, immense, no surprise to see Bailey voting for Jagielka. Distin was the stalwart tonight. And no surprise to see you being a condescending twat as usual Cotto. Quote
c1982 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Rom for his 2 key moments and also improving link-up (Eto'o esq at times!) I enjoyed Besic's performance tonight along with those already mentioned in the thread. Quote
Hafnia Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Garbutt for me. Huge game for the lad and came through with flying colours. Rom gets plenty of stick from me but but credit where it's due gets second. I want to see him put as much intensity and focus on his all round game as possible, his finishing is top notch. Quote
Blue 250 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Lukaku, the lads got class, will get even better. Whole team did a job tonight, even without Baines and Coleman. Quote
Guest millwallforever Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Besic for me. The lad's got attitude. Edited November 28, 2014 by millwallforever Quote
Btay Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 Everyone played well, put a good shift in. I'm giving it to Jags, was immense and that block was just a perfect example from our captain. Lukaku was strong as well. Exciting times Quote
Mirallas Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 If you thought Lukaku isn't a great footballing talent, this is the stuff he's been doing a lot lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em2enSWnfl4 Quote
Hafnia Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 If you thought Lukaku isn't a great footballing talent, this is the stuff he's been doing a lot lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em2enSWnfl4 I think everyone is in agreement that last night he had a good game - just as he did against Lille at Goodison. The reality is that after the Lille game he kinda went back to being pedestrian and his touch was poor against Sunderland. Great footballing talent is what I would call Ross Barkley - he needs to get his head right. Great goalscoring talent is what I would call Lukaku - he needs to get his footballing levels right. This isn't a HAF criticises Lukaku thread and post - it recognises that Lukaku had a good game last night - but its a reminder that he has work to do - I have said that in numerous posts. He isn't just going to be a player who pulls footballs out of the sky like Berbatov - he just hasn't got that. His improvement to the level where he will be competent at looking after the ball isn't going to happen overnight either - he will get to somewhere around that level but lets not get carried away. Too many did after the Lille game - he is going to have games where he has lead in his boots, I am not going to be disappointed or surprised when he does as long as we see signs of improvement which we are. The one big thing he has in his locker is his ability to find the net - that is a valuable asset. He just needs to learn to have a "stock" ability to control the ball. By that I mean "a low risk method of getting the ball under" - it may not be pretty but it needs to carry the least risk. 8/10 for Rom last night for me - a good game. Quote

I also went for Jags. He looks to be back to his best now which just goes to prove the old adage of class is permanent form is temporary. Too many Evertonians were too quick to write him off , he is easily the best defender at the club and has been for some time now Quote

Whilst being solid he's never and will never be world level/elite level. Quote
Guest millwallforever Posted November 29, 2014 Report Posted November 29, 2014 Whilst being solid he's never and will never be world level/elite level. Unlike Darron Gibson... Quote
