really cant believe some of you blues ...how can u be happy with a dismal crap performance against a sad side today ...you are getting sucked into this moyes way of thinking ...if we win ok if we lose its ok ...we as a club were never happy umless we gave blood sweat and all whats happened to us !
markyg {Ed025's Note - do you know what marky...i tend to agree with you, i know we won today, but as a spectacle, it was abysmal! school of science it was not!..i hope we aspire to better than that, we are mediocre at best, and i for one expect more, ..

Believable2 Unbelievable2

I think some of us need to be realistic, stop banging on about bad performance, we won, and in this busy period beggers cant be choosers, we have to be realistic about what we can actually do, no drenthe, coleman, fellaini and a half fit rodwell, we did the best with what we had. 6 points better off from this time last season (when we still had pienaar, arteta, beckford and yakubu) so stop crying and get behind our team.

Agree4 Disagree1

Howard kendall always said he wanted to win games but also he wanted to play with style ...where has that belief gone !
markyg

Agree0 Disagree0

Incase you didnt notice mate , howard kendle times are long gone, back then we didnt have to compete with our competition spending tens of millions every year, your either living in a dream worls or you honestly think our squad is better than what it is

Ed001 I just noticed you saying Pienaar looks set to return? I would be delighted if he was mate but what makes you say that? I thought it was just rumours and us blues putting 2 and 2 together? Or is it genuinely in the pipeline?

Maiden {Ed001's Note - his reps have contacted Everton, making it known he is available and would love to return to Everton.}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

I'd welcome him back, he's the playmaker we need.

Agree5 Disagree3

01 Jan 2012 21:04:42
Pienaar back on initial loan with option to sign in the summer are the latest rumours. Hope there true, we have missed him since he left

Believable5 Unbelievable3

I really hope these rumours are true ! Would love to see pienaar, Drenthe and Donovan in the same team with Fellaini and Rodwell providing the defensive role in midfield

Agree3 Disagree2

Yer would be great if we got him back his clever play and link up with Baines on the left would add a lot to our non attack play at the moment.
A midfield of Drenthe Fellaini Rodwell Pienaar with Donovan supporting the striker would be awesome

Has anyone got any football brain on here !!??
If you looked at the shape of the team today in the 1st half it was moore like a 4-3-3 Rodwell, Heitinga, Neville holding and Cahill and Osman either side of Saha !!!
Stop being so miserable and negative we won and IMO we deserved it, West Brom made the game poor by getting 10 men behind the ball, we were the only team trying to get in the box.
Everton away team.... 8 shots on target 5 off West Brom home team 0 shots on target 7 off target..... all there shots were long range apart from 1 in the 1st half.
It was a decent away performance, admit the football played was poor but so what its 3 points and were 9th in the table with a game in hand and 6 points better off than we were last season.
Come on lads..... Keep positive !
Thought Baines Distin, Osman and the 3 subs were brilliant today.
If we can get a striker and maybe a creative player plus Donovan we can push for top 7 were we belong and get european football.
Wouldn't mind Pienaar back with Lukaku on loan

Believable9 Unbelievable1

So really your not happy with the side lol

Great win today ! Wasn't the best game in the world but if anyone deserved the win it was us !
Woy saying after the game that west brom got mugged ! Is he for real ?? West brom didn't show any attacking at all, we didn't show much either but still showed more than them and they were the home team we at least tried to force the issue and made positive subs and tried to get a goal !!!
Couldn't believe what i was seeing when Moyes made 3 subs before 65 minutes !! Don't think he has ever done that !
All 3 subs were brillaint, added energy and directness to the team.
Straqualersui played the best i have saw from him so far, did more than Saha has done in the last 4 games !!!
Also i made a point the other week on here about dropping Cahill to a central Midfield roll as theres a lot of pressure on him to score and his confidence is getting destroyed playing up top. Did anyone notice how well he played and how better he was when Straqualersui and Anichebe came on and Cahill dropped in the middle with Heitinga ?
Could benefit him more playing deeper.
Good 3 points anyway and great pass from Osman to Hibbert for the goal.
Distin and Baines outstanding

Dear Ed's and Fellow Blues, firstly
may I wish you all a happy new year
and a happy 3 points today.

Now I may be getting on in years and
I can work out most 'text speak',
however is there any chance of
putting a spell check on this system
please?

You see I want to read your rumours
and banter but I'd really like it to be
with words form the english dictionary.

Any chance Ed's?

P.S. COYB IMWT {Ed001's Note - there is no need, every browser and phone has a spell check facility, if people are too lazy to use that, what makes you think they would use the site's one? The main problem is that most people don't have a basic level of English anyway, they can't tell the difference between there, they're and their, they wouldn't know which word to put in to replace a mistake anyway!}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Hi Ed thanks for the reply, however as a regular reader and contributer, I've noticed of late that there is a call for people to leave a name so I came up with a sign in and it was missed off my post, or should I add it on the bottom of my message? regards Big C {Ed001's Note - bottom of the message, the name field on the submission form is just there because we used a standard contact form rather than create a new input form. Though it is worth putting some kind of identifier in the email field, we get a lot of idiots who try and pretend to be other people, so the email field acts as an easy way to tell people apart.}

Yet again Denis, Guaye and Barkley on the bench.. Moyes - "I know I'll play Cahill and Saha the proliffic goal scorers" NOT! If a plan don't work, change it!! Also, is it me or do we just play a passing game in the hope that we can just walk it in to the goal? No one has a go, give Billy his due at least he has a few efforts on goal..

Believable2 Unbelievable2

01 Jan 2012 16:14:02
Well despite the 3 points still a lacklustre display. Essentially the same starting 11 again bar Rodwell. I'd rather go for it and lose than be bored stiff for 90 minutes and get a point, getting 3 points today was lucky.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Well said

Agree3 Disagree1

Obviously you dont watch this crap all year mate its awefull !A true blue knows a negative team when they see one and this is definately a negative side !
markyg

Agree1 Disagree1

Been watching the blues since 1978 markyg, have seen some terrible football played at home and away, spent a fortune going to villareal, fiorentina away and wembley against utd in semi final of fa cup, have the tattoo, buy the shirt every season, we were away from home today we had more shots on and off target than the home team who by the way drew with man city last week, who by the way got beat by the team we drew with last week, so stop chatting *h*** and get behind the blues if you call yourself a true blue, what would you rather do attack attack attack and get beat

Agree2 Disagree1

So your happy to waste your money watching us play s**te are you ...this is not the everton way and i wont see this great club become a boring middle of the table load of crap ,we have good players now ...what we dont have is a manager with attack minded tactics ...wake up !

Believable4 Unbelievable2

01 Jan 2012 15:01:52
Another poor display ...Looks like the team have had enough now ...Bit like being with the same woman for 10 years...Moyes your taking us nowhere now we need a more exciting manager with new ideas.We only won today cos Baggies are s**ter than us!
Markyg

Believable2 Unbelievable6

I don't think the baggies was better at all..we was composed solid at the back,we just lacked the cutting edge..when the changes was made we was like a different team..I believe that dennis is gonna come really really good..got a lot if youth coming through now with more experience.dm knows his squad is aging hence the youth changes happening more often.coz without cash we gonna struggle as always..got some good prospects coming through so I'm being positive about are future as long as we dont sell are youth prospects..onwards and upwards now lads,fingers crossed.COYB

WESTY

Agree2 Disagree0

Sorry markyg.thought u said baggies better than us not sh**te.my bad..

Westy

Agree1 Disagree0

Get real!!!! You're a joke mate. Without Moyes in charge we would be in obscurity by now. He is having to work with what he has at the moment. Yes, sometimes it can get frustrating for us fans but I just think we all need to keep supporting and getting behind the team and manager and everything will work out eventually. KEEP THE FAITH!!!!

Agree7 Disagree1

You try keeping a team in the prem league with 1 million a year net spend. That is what moyes has had to play with in past ten years. Wake up and realise we are lucky to be in top ten every season.

Agree2 Disagree1

No problem Westy ...Im as big a blue as anyone but Im sick of the averageness of what is our best squad in years despite no top striker ...We need a change and in the running of the club aswell

A solid performance if not spectacular to watch,Howard never had a shot to save I thought Distan was superb coyb

Believable1 Unbelievable1

01 Jan 2012 12:29:52
No Drentha not even in the squad today. Anyone know why?!?
Centre midfield of Rodwell, Neville and Heitinga! And we wonder why we don't score goals! It's a joke!
Anyway, Happy New Year to all my fellow Bluenoses!

(Wavertree Blue) {Ed025's Note - same to you wavo....but we have to do our business early, we seem to dither when it comes to transfer windows, i would like the club to make a statement of intent, and give the supporters a bit of a lift..
