See the ozzie bashers are out in force, give the guy a break he wasnt the worse player today, mirellas was piss poor again, at times his decosion making is crap doesn't appear to have much pace and can't seem to beat fullback when 1 on 1.
Although he wasnt in the game much ozzie didn't do much wrong when he had the ball, he didn't create anything but he was playing holding role and neither he or felli have the pace to get forward from that position

2 seasons back Wes Brom smashed us 4 0 at home.

It will take time

That looked like Wes Brown there on a smaller screen. Was going to say I can't remember playing Wes Brown on his own and getting smashed.

24 Aug 2013 21:00:02
Haven't seen the game but have read a few reports.
Sounds like we need a creative midfielder and another striking option. Preferably both top class and not as replacements to any would be leavers. At least we kept a clean sheet and are unbeaten.
It will come. Stay positive

To be honedt aw I did see the match and at times it was borin but to be fair we should have won it hands down with the chances and shots we had plus there keeper kept them in the match til he got brought off through injury. What I will say is are attacking display shows a lot of promise and barkley tried his hardest to do us justify it and no he never should have got a yellow perfectly good tackle all in all we should of won but new tactics and bad luck let us down mate

24 Aug 2013 20:49:16
Did rm promise us champipn leauge more like championship ffs he making us a laughing stock

Hold on guys early days give him a chance, but let's just hope that billy boy gives him the cash he promised and I am sure we will be ok

Mate step back and assess, a laughing stock no defo not we didn't find the net today and we wernt at our best granted but we never look in trouble and the poor teams like you say wba finished 8th behind us and pool no shame in that, that's respecatable and nowrich will do quite well they have spent wisely,, also it makes no odds who we play its football if every good team beat every poor tyeam I would win every footy coupon

24 Aug 2013 20:34:07
Roberto Martinez. "It's fair to say we were frustrated, if you look at the amount of possession we had and the opportunities we had.

"West Brom were really organised and stayed deep, trying to counter-attack, but we coped with their threat really well.

"We had the chances to win the game, we deserved a win and we deserved three points. We were magnificent off the ball."

If you can be bothered to look he used this excuse many times at Wigan.

24 Aug 2013 20:24:24
On july 4th, I said drop the idea of KONE, and I got slammed on here, he has shown NOTHING to warrant his price tag. NAISMITH, short and sweet, should have been more alert, any other Premier league attacking player would have popped that in. We were worse than average today, I have said before we got a Relegated manager, and even now its showing how NEGATIVE he is. apart from the last 10 mins, we were a shambles, Fellani did not want to be there, Baines was not much better. can't wait for Cardiff, if they turn us over, maybe all my knockers will see the light with this fella. Champions League, we are so far away from that, someone better tell BK. oh forgot Wednesday night should be fun on that HORRIBLE performance. have not heard what the man of many excuses has said. roll the old ones up from wigan? {Ed025's Note - you, and many others, need to get a grip biffy, second competitive match, new manager, new system, i thought we were better than that guys..

24 Aug 2013 20:46:01
someone who I agree with. and agrees with me. I and many others will spend 4 figures watching EFC this season, I want more than that today, unfortunately I don't reckon I will get it. In fact I am really struggling to remember a performance like that in a first home game. HELP anyone!

Everton 1- Arsenal 6, there is a performance on that level for the first home game of the season!

Get a grip, we played some good football, have a look at the stats! We have the same squad as last season and I am confident we will do well!

24 Aug 2013 20:05:15
Need to tie up this fella deal, 25 mill, just didn't seem to me to be all there today, mind elsewhere maybe, with moyes comments today, {Ed025's Note -

24 Aug 2013 20:31:18
so at the end of October and we only have a dozen points. Your Happy?. Get a Grip, WBA are poor, Cardiff will target us as a win next week. let's here what you have to say after that game, the man is wrong for EFC,, end of!

Biffy where have you been! Don't you know you can't say anything negative on here! All the people who have been slagging off us realists have disappeared today maybe they are still smelling the coffee

Martinez out!


L4 4EL

Get a grip lad we've only played two games.

Get a grip lad, wba finished 2 places behid us last season not so poor. we wernt the best today granted, but its all new back the team go play mario

Martinez out get L4 4EL in he the man

24 Aug 2013 19:05:31
Hi ed were do you think we need to improve in the side I mean com on another draw the red sh/:e are taken the pi�s {Ed025's Note - for me ledgy, we need at least one midfielder, and a goalscorer mate..

24 Aug 2013 18:59:55
Again good possession but nothing to show for it! Jelavic was poor, did everyone see his dive in the second half? He is getting worse! Fellaini just doesn't look interested if he wants to go then let him go but make utd pay! Barkley was class again, Coleman played well, kone looked good when he came on I think he should get a start midweek! Hopefully gibbo will be back next weekend and Osman will be dropped! We need to up the pace a bit we were too slow building play up, just quicken things up and we will make a lot more chances!
Lets get a good win on Wednesday, build up some confidence and let's the league by storm!

24 Aug 2013 18:55:17
Well the mighty west brom (probably a six pointer for us) we had No energy, no imagination, no penertration, no tactics, no idea!

All hail the the positive, shrewd, sensible, master tactition naaaaaot!

Any updates on the transfer front ed I hope martinez has lined up a center mid {Ed025's Nansfer update..o trote - so do i mate, n

24 Aug 2013 18:34:15
I really can't understand why we bought Kone. He is so similar to Big Vic. who is probably well cheesed off. If Martinez is not that impressed with Big Vic he should have sold him for say 2-3 million? and put that towards the 6 million paid for Kone plus whatever is left in the kitty now and bought a better quality striker. For around say 10 million. I bet Victor will soon get really cheesed off and his value will drop because he is not in with a shout. I also don't think the substitutions were any more attack minded than ones Moyes used to make. But I guess 2 draws is better than we usually start.
Degsypulford

24 Aug 2013 17:39:36
It's all well and good having 60% of the possession but we need to transfer that dominance into wins. We didn't look all that dangerous. Hope Martinez see's that we're crying out for that creative spark.

24 Aug 2013 17:09:48
Sorry boys 0 - 0 at home to WBA is just not good enough we should be beating teams like them and Norwich!

Erm we have 2 points from 6. last 10 mins was ok, horrible performance. 22 shots 8 on target, get it right we were woefull

24 Aug 2013 17:02:05
Absolute tosh, very very poor, its all well and good having 25 passes in your own half, we had no urgency whatsoever today and big feli looks like he's already gone, reminded my of Lescots performace a couple years back. Top sides will destroy us if we play like that, Naismith should not be allowed to call himself a footballer( he can't tackle, pass and has the touch of a 7 year old girl) and what the hell has happened to Ozzi. Can somebody please explain how from a throw in at their corner flag that our goal keeper ends up with the ball after 3 passes! The ball went out with 3 minutes to go and nobody seemed interested in getting the ball, or getting on with the game!
I bloody furious after that game, it was there for the taking!

We should be winning these games. Could come back and bite us at the end of the season

24 Aug 2013 15:53:34
Anyone know what the black armbands are for?

They represent Everton's hopes for the season.

24 Aug 2013 10:31:25
David Moyses has now stated he would let LB & MF to leave (not stand in their way), if SAF approached him for them last summer in the transfer window. This is unbelievable and pathetic from DM. Since he has joined Manchester United from the mighty, he is becoming bery arrogent. In fact we all know that he block any transfer as they are our better players. "to better their careers". Obviously they cannot better careers at Everton? What are your thoughts Ed? {Ed013's Note - Really, I am sure he would!!! Tongue in cheek! Looks like we have a new SAF in the seat!}

Bet gollum wishes he had sold them both to Fergi (refuse to call him s!r) last season.

Better their careers under the exact same managerial and coaching set up they have had for the last 5 years or so. He is starting to appear moronic in his statements.
Good riddens to bad rubish, your former number 1 fan mr Moyes

Svenny

Maybe its because he knew then that he'd be the man u manager now and it'd save him having to bid for them now?

So david moyes says he would not stand in the way if it is for the good of the player. hypocrite so what was all the "man citys conduct over chasing lescott is out of order" & " if any club wants our players. we don't sell cheap" I have one thing to say to dm, you not af you dnt have that power and the reason you have none of your targets is simple. no one thinks you will succeed at united tiny fish in a huge pond. al see you in dole que

24 Aug 2013 09:16:05
if felli goes I personaly would try for lewis holtby as I can not see him getting much game time at spurs. everton fan as well. to what do you think ed. {Ed013's Note - Could be a good loan signing, I don't think Spurs would sell. To be fair the lad at Wigan would be great for Everton, McCarthy}

I'm an Everton fan so can I play? Works hard but lacks the finesse we need in midfield.

24 Aug 2013 13:15:46
Just listening to that talks@*te on the radio, that Goughy I a popper whopper, last week he had us down as relegation fodder, this week he's got us down as punching above our weight against Norwich, can anyone tell me who his team are? Now turning over to city!

24 Aug 2013 12:33:03
Anyone know where I can stream todays game?

Yeah at goodison mate buy a ticket

'At goodison mate buy a ticket?'
Not everyone can get the game, some people live abroad or the other side of the country or have work
Moronic comment!

24 Aug 2013 12:21:24
I 2002 Everton FC provided David Moyes with the platform to expand his budding managerial career and establish his reputation. Eleven seasons later he has landed the biggest job in English football. Whatever your opinion of Bill Kenwright you've got to admit he stuck by his man. Moyes would never have lasted 11 years at another club. When Everton finished 17th in 2004 and scored only 45 goals all season he would have been sacked by most club chairmen including some Everton has had in the past. I can certainly think of one who would have invited him to share a London taxi. Sacked by Everton after two seasons. It could have all been different Mr Moyes. You may never have got another chance in the Premiership. So next time you feel inclined to be disrespectful to your former employer, please reflect upon the distinct possibility that you probably wouldn't be the Manchester United manager today if it hadn't been for the opportunity and support provided by Everton FC.

Well said Roscoe,
to add insult it appears that the Rat has been quoted as saying Everton are holding back the careers of LB & MF by not letting them join Utd, ( Gaurdian )

Alan@leeway

24 Aug 2013 11:46:25
If fellani and bains need to leave to better there football career WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE GO TO MAN U. We will be finishing above them within 2 seasons. David "the joke" moyes will destroy everything that sir Alex built. That team is starting to look weak already hence everyone already turned them down.

24 Aug 2013 11:35:12
I'm very confused about what I have read on tv this morning Moyes has defended the bid claiming if was still in charge of our club he wouldn't stand in the way of LB and MF if they wanted to join MU but am I right in saying that we dismissed there approach for LB last season is this guy deluded he needs to remember if it wasnt for Everton he wouldn't be where he is now.

24 Aug 2013 11:02:51
I'm seriously beginning to think that moyes real problem is that he is worried about Martinez actually doing a lot better with the tean than he did, which is why he is trying to destabilise our squad after what has been an encouraging start by Martinez. He will have noted already that we possess one of the highest possession statistics already, something which he never achieved at any time under his 11 year tenure & I genuinely think he is worried that roberto will win some form of silverware or achieve something where he never actually did. Roll on Man U at Goodison, let's give him the most hostile reception ever, the guy has showed no respect to our club whatsoever & he just keeps continually contradicting himself in the things he keeps saying.
By the way, Barry on loan & maybe Moses I think will happen before the window closes, if baines goes we should replace him immediately with Luke shaw who is an even brighter prospect for 10 million.

24 Aug 2013 10:22:31
Oh davey, davey what have you done
All that hard work you put into everton
Those freezing cold nights
Under goodison lights
Our approval and loyalty you clearly won

But have you forgotten your history
With insulting bids for baines and fellaini
You have gone from moyesaiah
To a judas entire
Above silverware we value Loyalty

Roberto have a word with Bill
These players are ours and can serve us still
With the goodison raw
Come win, lose or draw
Ambitions at Everton they will fulfill

COYB
Toffee ace

As a Celtic fan I never did take to David Moyes. Read today that he has said that Everton are holding back the careers of Fellani and Baines. What a pain he is. If Everton do decide to sell these players I hope they sell them to other clubs. Good luck for your season. JK

24 Aug 2013 10:18:51
Yeah Mr Moyes, pay us what they're worth and we may not 'stand in their way'. What a .

24 Aug 2013 09:50:51
From Guardian -

Manchester United manager David Moyes says Everton are holding back the careers of midfielder Marouane Fellaini, 25, and defender Leighton Baines, 28, by refusing to allow them to move to Old Trafford.

Urmmm, Aren't they both playing for their country, earning good money in one of the best teams in the best league in the world? Think the prune face person is on the peyote!

Danjablue

Don't give a toss for the views of a second rate c/back who could not make it in mickey mouse league of scotland, and who then scraped out his football in the lower english leagues. The MAN IS A FRAUD, AND WILL SOON BE EXPOSED AS ONE.

24 Aug 2013 09:42:59
To the original poster, 100 per cent spot on mate, and Ed025, totally agree too. I spent a couple of hours thinking how to respond to his " Everton are holding the two players back" press conference, and i'm fuming. I personally defended Moyes to the hilt, even forgave him, he deserved a chance at a club like Man Utd, where he could finally spend money, but it seems that he's forgotten his managerial roots, and his 11 years with us never meant a thing. I was taught as a kid, by my Glaswegian Nan, to never bite the hand that fed you, it seems that Moyes wants to gnaw the arm off us, unforgiveable. You've lost all my respect Davie, hopefully your stay at Manchester United is a short one.

Spot on WHY IS HE DOING THIS TO US .

24 Aug 2013 08:49:52
Just seen Moyes comments about Fellaini and Baines

"I know that if I'd been Everton manager and Sir Alex had come asking for Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini, I'd have found it very difficult to keep them because I always felt the right thing to do was what was right for the players, " Moyes said


the *******, yeah he wouldn't of stood in the way but also wouldn't let us get screwed over the fee now he's tying to screw us

24 Aug 2013 08:41:44
I think Moyes is a disgrace for not selling Baines to Man United last summer and holding back his career. Hypocracy of the highest order.
RickTee

24 Aug 2013 08:21:43
I have just read the article in the Guardian were Moyes claims Everton are wrong not to sell MF and LB because we are holding back their careers, and if he was Everton manager he would find it hard not to let them go as he always 'done what's right for the players'. What a f@#king hypocrite. What an ar@s-hole.

I had so much time for Moyes when he was at Everton and defended him many a time on this site. I'm just amazed at how low this man can go

I have never wanted someone to fail as much as I want him to at Man Utd. I'll watch with such glee as the Manchester United fans start to give him rubbish and the press start to say he's out of his depth. Did anyone hear his press conference yesterday, what a miserable man, how did we put up with that for so long?

8-12 months he'll be sacked, he can f@#k-off to Germany them and manage some rubbish team like Hamburg.

One more point, does anyone else think that the pathetic bid for LB and MF on the eve of our first game was just as much about unsettling Everton, as trying to get the players on the cheap. Moyes has proved how much of a low life he really is, I'm sure he would he hate to see Martinez come in and get off to a good start.

Moyes is a hypocrite. He says we should let Baines and Fellaini go but at the same time says that Rooney is going nowhere.

24 Aug 2013 07:41:26
Mr moyes at everton we don't hold people's careers back. Some excellent prospects come to our great club through hard work dedication and love from the goodison faithful they become good players and are wanted by other teams.

Do you not recall 11yrs ago at Preston everton came calling and you worked hard. We didn't win anything but you improved us greatly. Your reward was Manchester United coming I'm for you . I for one thought you deserved the chance being fed buttons by BK.

However moyes we do not sell cheap or sell for half price to utd just because your utd.

WE ARE EVERTON

Mr moyes show some class and a little bit more of respect. The fans who adored you will not wish you to fail.

If the FA where to find united guilty of an illegal approach, could they face a points deduction, a fine would be meanningless with their financial backing!

24 Aug 2013 00:09:08
Honestly moyes is a joke now he's signed every everton player he knows how they work he speaks to bill every week and if sir Alex came on he let our players go that's the difference in moyes and Martinez moyes is ill do anything to get that job Martinez is more about the ho he is with now which I good to have moyes is looking down house nose at us and Martinez and he's turned arrogant so I hope now he fails at united no one is bigger than the club

Wasy

Got the first bit, got the last bit. But the middle bit I can't make out.
