i have to say motd didn't do us justice (no change there), we did ride our luck at time bu played well, the thing I seen is we had moyes' defence but also martines attack ie 70 min under moyes all efc players would be in our half today though we always had outlet in there half

Disagree mate, the coverage was quite fair imo.Chelsea had far more chances than us.

There was more to the game than just chances many of the incidents when Chelsea were the transgressors were not shown. Secondly I don't think the quality of defending got sufficient praise. I thought the tone of the coverage was all about Chelsea and about how good or bad their finishing was and very little about our contribution.
I thought we played very well second half breaking with great purpose Chelsea had to come at us, tactically RM controlled the game!

The tv are just carrying on an arguement with Harry Catterick in the 60s when he banned the cameras from Goodison Park.

Great win today. Barry and Naismith outstanding, always had trust in Naisy and we're finally starting to see the best out of him. Our season starts now! COYB

We're not seeing the best out of him. He defended very well and worked hard, earning his standing ovation, but he was typically shocking going forward. Countless terrible, terrible passes and poor dribbles. Even I would have scored the goal. I am not trying to be negative about the game, because I'm still buzzing over it, but he still isn't anywhere near prem quality.

Totally disagree AB1878, the lad is quality in his natural position and on his day he can make a difference in games. The stick he gets is very harsh indeed. Him and Barry were the difference today.

AB turn it in lad, he was our second best player after Barry.

He is not quality at all. He had 51% passing accuracy, which is terrible. On more than one occasion there was a simple pass and he passed it too hard, too light, too high or just miles away from the man. All he did was defend well, which he truly did, but if we played Hibbo right wing and he defended brilliantly, would we want him played there more? No. We would want him in defense. Naismith has never played in defense, but I believe he tackles and tracks well enough and has the typical technical awkwardness of a right back. I was one of the many who gave him a standing ovation, but I'd still be far happier with him not at the club.

You obviously watched a different game then lad.

now where are those Barry haters ;) top class performance and Naisy proves his worth put in a great shift today the negatives would be Leon Osman or Distin other than that it was a top class performance! PKBLUE {Ed025's Note - distin??...i thought he had a great game, is your telly on the blink PK?..

I agree my bro is one of them. I think he will prove to be our best signing, his passing today was a diff class to what we have. his range and the way he mixed passes was refreshin

toffeeblue

I mean when he got the ball he looked a little awkward for me PKBLUE

Ossie had his best game yet this season and didn't let us down, Distin was as solid and reliable as ever. Both put in quality displays and Barry was different class. Great result and performance.

After going 1-0 up we would have lost or drew that game under moyes! I had no doubt abóut barry he was awesome"and hats off to the team and martinez"coyb"

Maybe we should give jelavic a rest as he falls over, gives ball away or is offside, give naisy a chance up front and bring Gibson bk when fit, him nd Barry Barkley mirralas lakaku. Nice choice of attacking options. Maybe we will see naisy that we bought play his game under rm as moyes did destroy strikers. Naisy and Barry knockers should now give them a chance, once they pull that top on it does something to ordinary players.

Jc

I think jeely done ok, he deserves as much credit as anyone today his header should not be underestimated that won the game he may not be scoring but if he puts them on a plate like that u can't argue that is as good as scoring

toffeeblue {Ed025's Note - there is no doubting his effort, but his quality at the moment is sadly lacking, i expect lakuku to be put straight in mate..

Yeah he will ed I have no doubt, am just saying jely done ok today, he not the jely we seen when he fisrt came but his role in the goal is as good as scoring

14 Sep 2013 20:27:51
Hands up all the Barry knockers! {Ed025's Note - if were talking knockers mate...im your guy...he looks great.. :)

Never knocked him but had my doubts, don't mins eating humble pie because that was à classy performance today
Top marks
Well happy defence was excellent

14 Sep 2013 20:10:27
we deserved that one today.i think the only downside from the game was that ossie can't hack it for some reason.
i'm sure he will come good but I can see him being dropped for our next game
irish blue

Thought ossie was ok today best game so far this season for him

Gave the ball away too easily, a lot of misplaced passes and what is it with him trying to take on 2-3 players on the edge of our box?

note for Degsy.
Any chance you gat a divorce and get married every Saturday :) Congrats bye the way {Ed025's Note - im sure the champagne will be flowing...even getting married wont put a dampener on things...congrats degsy mate..

To previous posts can you post back please as those players mentioned why are they playing well they just made your posts look stupid oustanding performance today Barkley is going to be a footballing genius

Osman was and is light weight, he gave the ball away to much.
Naismith played the best I have seen him so far but he (at the moment) isn't a player that deserves a starting birth in our
team. Imagine if these two were replaced with gibbo and mccarthy . bluepaul {Ed025's Note - naisy would be hard to drop for me paul, he got his chance, and took it with both hands...its up to peanuts, gibbo, and del boy to fight for their places, that will be a big plus for us mate, as its a long hard season..

14 Sep 2013 19:31:23
Barry man of the match for me. Osman not so good. A true blue, but not fireing so far this season.
Blue Lee {Ed025's Note - fair comment lee..

14 Sep 2013 17:14:27
Why on earth are we playing Naismith?

Thats why!

So He can score

Cos he knows where the back of the net is

Matt you walked right in to that one mate. {Ed025's Note - i think matt is on the floor now.. :)

14 Sep 2013 16:02:42
Hope Osmain ain't starting today and Jellyflop is replaced too.

He is and Naismith

Bit worried about the pace in midfield today, osman, Barry and Naismith so slow hope am wrong

14 Sep 2013 17:19:37
Osman and naismith. Bloooooodddddyyyyy hell.

why do these two get picked

Bluepaul

Oman to Jeli to Naismith GOAL!
Nough said.

Nobody could have said it better Twoold.

man u today v 10 men and no goals in open play at home. welcome to moyes world.

Moyes going on about Baines is obviously to entice him in January. We should break the bank with a new contract offer now. This offer should include a buy out clause with a figure that reflects his worth. Then this time perhaps Mr Moyes will come in with a decent offer to start with.

I'm obviously biased as a kiwi, but in regards to looking for Distins long term successor I think that Winston Reid is worth a punt.
Strong in the air and in the tackle as well as statistically the fastest defender in the PL, and Hammers Player of the year for me he is worth a look. He has improved massively over the last 2 years and is only 24. If he is consistently as good as he was last year he would be worth a look.

Your thoughts ed? {Ed025's Note - hes a good player kiwi, not as good as distin, but certainly one for the future mate..

When I saw his contract expiring I would definitely have taken him, but West Ham tied him up, and he's not needed right now. Good shout though.

I am dreading the game tomorrow v chelsea I think we will be given a lesson in finishing we haven't really played anyone yet and all this ball possession is getting us no where

Martinez out!

L4 4EL {Ed007's Note - To be fair mate not many teams will get anything from Chelsea this season.}

I think we will get somethin tbh, we raise are game againts these teams and we done ok against chelsea recently am going for 1-1 score ed?

toffeeblue {Ed025's Note - i would be happy to get anything to be honest, they are a quality side, who i fancy to win the league, so would bite your hand off for a draw..

Good point ed, I just hope we can take one of our very few chances that we get I think we will play like the away team
