Ola Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 was watching it on football first, hugely impressed with the team, was amazed with osman and how he played, personally i think its a good thing now that big dunc has gone, we seem to be playing a lot more to feet and playing a lot of possession football rather than just hoofing the ball upfield to the likes of dunc and even beattie, was probably a good thing that he was dropped today as well 47244[/snapback] ossie did play well today imo man of the match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Just watched the firdt half on football first and they had all of the possession but they didnt really create anything did they. Johnson had it very tough up there on his own for the first half atleast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
java2001e Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 watched the game live here on telly. missed the first 15 minutes tho. it was a great performance, the lads showed a lot of character and determination. a lot more than they did against watford. the midfield in particular played like wimps against watford, but they showed true grit against spurs. but moyse deserves a lot of credit for this performance. the strategy was right, the team was obviously right, and the lads were well prepared and knew exactly what they had to do.

Romey 1878 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Moyes has said Osman should get an England call-up, I know he plays well for us but he's not that good to displace anyone from England's midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Great Performance....once Killa got sent off. I'm not gonna start ripping into him, hes just not good enough for the premiership, makes the wrong decisions and doesn't have the ability. Anyway...Osman, quality. Not so long ago I read a comment on here which said about how he gets knocked off the ball and said he was a quality little player...and to that person, I was rite He looked really good out there yesterday, not just with his skillfull like runs but he was making inteceptions left, right and centre, brilliant game. Arteta was as skillfull as ever, he just keeps gettin better IMO. Carsley was great yesterday, looked back to the old Harry Hill, tidied up everything, glad we kept him now. Phil Neville done his job very well yesterday, I'm not his biggest fan but he was in the thick of the action and what a ball for AJs goal!!! NEVILLE FOR THE RIGHT MIDFIELD PLACE IN ENGLAND I thought the whole defense were superb, nothing looks to get past Yobo and Lescott, the latter I thought was immense, brave and had keane and bebotrov in his back pocket (as did Joey) My MOTM would be Naysmith. Im far from his biggest fan but credit wer credit is due. And not just for his clearance on to the bar I thought he had Lennon tamed which is no mean feat, kept up with him and blocked everythin, the lad had to start trying to cut inside in the end as a result of lack of joy he was gettin down that side. Well played Garry Naysmith. I was made up with the performance, bring on the redshite AND ARE YOU GONNA BELIEVE US......WER GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE!!!

Randomness Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Excellent performance, just a shame there is an international break now and we cant carry this momentum into the derrrrby, mind you the players deserve a well earned rest. hope joleans injury isnt too bad, because he was immense yesterday. hell another inch and he would have opened the scoring!

GoldfishMemory Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think you lot have covered everything, what a performance and its nice to see the doubters retracting their comments from before the game. I am a serious fan of ossie and watching him shrug off Davids before setting up the goal was a pleasure. He feet were fast at Blackburn in the week and he ran their mid and defence ragged, what i saw of the spurs game too he looked class. He seems to be at his best running diagonally across the mid and making them back off which with AJ's pace can create so much this season. Nice to see we can change the shape and even loose a man but still play football. I fully agreed with Moyes team selection for this one apart from the consistantly poor Killa. One seriously good point for me is that Mr Kill(i can't play football)ban is suspended for the derby Nice one lads as allways but especially right now I'm proud to be an Evertonian, last time we done this we stayed up there and showed the league how its done. I was waiting for the Zutons on the main stage at creamfields when the result filtered through and was delighted to see thousands of Evertonians going fookin mental and hugging complete strangers with the relief of finally beating the spurs duck.

MikeO Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Couple of points...there was also a shocking report in the Telegraph which included the lines... The George Graham/Sam Allardyce school of science says that on the way to becoming successful, you often have to be mean before ever considering being artistically meaningful. Moyes' just-viable satisfaction lay in Everton's 40 mph tactics having prevented the fluent-minded Tottenham playing hardly any football at all. Yet if Moyes ultimately believed that his men were good - rating 10 out of 10 for Andy Johnson ("He's on form for England"), for Leon Osman ("Whom I've mentioned to Steve McClaren") and Gary Naysmith ("Who played Lennon as well as I've seen him played") - what might his ranting first-half gestures have been like had he considered them bad? For all Everton's unexpected win, the occasion further showed an enduring lack of refinement in the English game that was so apparent in an unhappy World Cup denouement. ...but Don Howe, elsewhere in the same rag, saw it differently... Credit must go to Everton's midfield trio - the tough, deep-lying Lee Carsley, the box-to-box Tim Cahill and the superb Mikel Arteta - because they outclassed their opponents. Despite playing most of the game with 10 men, Everton cleverly dictated the tempo of the game. Up front, Dimitar Berbatov looked as if he was struggling to adjust to the pace of the English game, while at the other end the super-fit Andrew Johnson was outstanding. Again he showed an instinct for goal that reminded me of Jimmy Greaves and Denis Law. Johnson ran Michael Dawson and Calum Davenport ragged but they should not be too downhearted, because they have a fantastic future. It will prove to be an invaluable experience for both of them. Don Howe Won't be the only defensive pairing AJ gives a lesson to this year I think ! Also glad to say I was bigging up Ossie all last season...said it before and I'll say it again, he reminds me of Trevor Steven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Can't a man state his love for several other men without being given a lot of sarcastic comments?, . Commenting on Mike's Don Howe quote, if I was going to listen to someone about football, would it be an embittered hack probably with an axe to grind or a much admired and respected figure like Don Howe?. Errrmmmmm, let me think. At last I have seen a fuller version of the game and TBH I enjoyed the way our mids fizzed about and snuffed any threat from Spurs, is was heartwarming to see.

java2001e Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 a decent match report in sporting life! "JOL'S SPURS BEATEN BY A PERFECT TEN By Adrian Curtis, Sporting life Tottenham boss Martin Jol once again emphasised how difficult it is to play against 10 men following his side's 2-0 home defeat by Everton on Saturday. Spurs went down to a determined Toffees outfit reduced to 10 men after half an hour. Tottenham's England right-winger Aaron Lennon was kept in check by Gary Naysmith all afternoon and, as Jol pointed out, they had no outlet on the left flank to stretch the visitors."

Zed Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 We were fookin excellent. Some of the passing of the midfield in the second arf was immense Ossie was class and HE IS a footballer with a great knack of using skil to make space and pass, arteta is what he is and carsley did the ugly work along with cahill But lets not forget the Neville and his role or anyone else for that matter Fooking papers there all arses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
