Its all about taking oppertunities when you get them and BESIC took his tonight could be the start of something good thgfest.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - but who,s to say he wont be dropped next game?...bobby is famous for it thgfest..

06 Jan 2016 23:21:28
hope not the team looked more ballanced with an extra midfielder instead of Kone tghfest.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jan 2016 00:25:49
Totally agree mate we look a lot more in control with the extra man in there and mo was great as was Barry and the rest of the boys.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jan 2016 07:58:39
Some of Mos tackles were world class and control on the ball was superb Horta to say if he an Robles don't start next game there's nothing they can do in my eyes.

What impressed me tonite is how we were never worried about the opp as in ok your man c bu we are Everton, u won't beat us not assed who plays for u, u dnt scare us, we went toe to toe and won and tbf could have had more, I think Joel an besic gave the team a bit of belief tbh, besic for me was mom he was immense breakin up play passing (ok one or two over hit bi game time will fix that) composure on the ball and a real bite. Av already said it tonite bu he make a real diff to us. Nxt lg game though he an Joel will be benched.

We played like the home team for a change. Last home game we certainly didn't.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2016 22:51:53
Got to say we were good tonight. Garath Barry was fantastic he really is playing well at the minute. And mo beside I must admit when we first signed him I loved his passion but I thought he was lacking a bit' tonight he showed what he is capable of. Also glad Joel didn't make any errors who knows maybe he's going to get a call of the Spanish president.

Mo besic.

Joel-6.5-Couple of decent saves, didn't have much to do.

Coleman-7-Went past people with ease and looked more solid tonight. Hope he's okay.

Stones-8-Quality on the ball as usual, made some great blocks and tackles, him and Ram really kept Aguero quiet.

Funes Mori-8-Same as Stones, even looked good on the ball! .

Baines-8.5-Kept De Bruyne quiet and bombed down the left all game, some great crosses too.

Besic-9.5-Had Toure in his pocket, was brilliant on the ball and had an all round great game, bar one problem. He saw Navas running down the wing yet stayed with Aguero, could have done better but he is a quality player.

Barry-9-Always composed on the ball and kept it well, he's just boss.

Deulofeu-6.5-Some decent moves but his final ball was poor.

Barkley-7.5-Poor first 30 minutes but afterwards was much stronger in possession and was always available, more like it! .

Cleverley-6-Didn't put a foot wrong, hope he's okay.

Lukaku-7-Had nothing to work with all game and STILL got a goal, please let him be okay, please let him be okay.

Osman-6.5-Phenominal.

Mirallas-6.5-Lucky with the pen decision but I thought he did okay overall, had Clichy on toast.

Kone-6-

Happy with that, great football at times and the defence looked like a proper defence! Amazing what having a reliable Goalkeeper can do.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

06 Jan 2016 22:55:44
Agree defence looked a lot ore composed, and even passed the ball back to the keeper a couple of times. Besic superb in first half, tired a bit second. Game time will sort that out. Fortunately got cup coming up so opportunity to rest a couple who got knocks.
WE really are just another quality striker away from becoming a very decent team.
Wish Barry was ten years younger, thought the guy was finished last season, but he's just quality.

Agree2 Disagree0

06 Jan 2016 22:24:57
Credit were credits due other than the osman sub Martinez got it right tonight. How much more comfortable did the centre backs look with a keeper behind them who actually talks and organises the backline. Its only half time but city look suspect at the back so hopefully we can nick a goal and a nice trip to Wembley.

Welcome back Mo Besic the modern version of Colin Harvey.
The lad is one class act, cool, calm and clinical!

Believable3 Unbelievable0

06 Jan 2016 22:19:24
. Besic was boss. he has added so much steel, energy and class to our midfield - is he the missing link? thought the boy was real class tonight, especially 2nd half. Also, thought Baines played his best game for 6 years - was good to see him like that. Rom was a beast (hope is injury is nothing too serious) and Dracula in goal and his merry men in front of him looked solid most of the game - who needs Howard? Just hope we can finish this off in the second leg, think we are going to need to score!

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - mo was excellent zacki..

06 Jan 2016 22:30:11
Spot on Zackiii. Besic was, dare I say it, Phenomenal!

Usual bet Ed

£10 Lukaku last goal 5/ 1, love him.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - well done again degs...you da man..

06 Jan 2016 22:20:54
Then you should be able to jack in the job soon with those odds Degs.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - when we need to up rom,s wages to keep him...your first on the list degs.. :)

06 Jan 2016 22:06:37
Players who came in were absolutely quality today - Joel, Besic, Cleverley - hopefully they'll get their chance in the next few games! Must say I thought RM got it absolutely spot on today regarding team and tactics - let's hope we carry it forward for the rest of the season!

But let's celebrate a very very good performance at Goodison, let's make it a fortress again! COYB!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - except for the osman decision ST...that was a strange call mate..

06 Jan 2016 22:18:16
He just gave us something to give out about Ed 😋.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - he done that alright NBTB.. :(

06 Jan 2016 22:25:13
Agree toffee, Joel an besic deserve to start games clev done well bu I want to see 2 of del, Lennon or kev starting games. Tonite I thought we looked solid which I put down to the back 4 not worried about keeper but mainly besic, we have a real bite when he plays, he runs his socks off breakin up play putting opp under pressure and he can pass an take people on. Class tonite.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i agree TB..

06 Jan 2016 22:59:17
Think he brought Ossie on because it was only 45 mins, and him and Bainsy have played a lot together. Just looking for a little continuity I guess.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i just cant see why he would not of opted for lennon woburn?..

07 Jan 2016 01:06:33
Would of been better off moving Baines up and putting Galloway behind him.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2016 22:02:32
Great result and all round team play; good going forward and strong at te back. All payers did well but barry; besic and baines stood out for me. Coyb's another game to go and we play better away😆.

06 Jan 2016 21:55:47
Have to say well done to the boys but can't see 2-1 being enough to get to Wembley hope I'm proven wrong.

Straight swap, Giroud for Lukaku?
Will throw in your boy Arteta to sweeten the deal.

Let me know ASAP.

06 Jan 2016 22:13:05
Na thanks. Swap Lukaku for Ozil and Cech. Throw Giroud in as well. Just for good measure 😃.

Gonna have to decline your offer Dags, thx though mate.

Do one Dags. That ASAP enough for you 😂.

06 Jan 2016 22:52:11
Haha, I expected no more from you boys, lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2016 21:46:58
Besic looks class, but we need another striker just in case of injury to lakuku. get rid of dead wood, pienaar Hibbert, mccredy and cash in on Naismith and kone bring in 3 / 4 players that would do me. give robles a chance until the summer, get Townsend on loan, loic Remy and chambers.

The beast from Belgium is unplayable first half.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

06 Jan 2016 20:50:30
Can someone update me, when is the last time everton have scored resulting from a baines corner or free kick or even a cross in from the left flank? Personaly I don't see the point in him, hopefully that will be Clevs taking corners from now on!
Besic on the other hand is doing a great job tonight 👍.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

06 Jan 2016 20:58:54
Baines played very well in that first half imo mate.

Calm down stig. See my post below. I'm not being negative. 3 - 0 not a chance. Your getting too excited. I'm delighted they all started myself. We are going to concede. It's a given against Man City.

Agree0 Disagree2

06 Jan 2016 18:21:48
Fascinating game tonight for all the right reasons, both teams capable of scoring big with plenty of attacking intent, (just as football should be played) . i'm hoping you win as a merseyside final brings a fair bit to the table, and although we are not there yet, I am hopeful.

The stadium will be absolutely buzzing if it isn't already.

Good luck, hold onto your hats! , i'm going for 5-2.


YNWA.

{Ed025's Note - i wish mick..i think it will be entertaining and think we may just nick it mate..cheers..

Play besic in the holding role to stifle Silva and others, then hopefully if our attack is on song, 2 or 3-1.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Jan 2016 15:30:11
Agree dentielad mate, if we put the right team out (no Osman or Howard) )

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2016 07:54:55
So according to Martinez the CL is more important than winning silverware. Just in case we get a pasting off City of course.
Then when we fail to be anywhere near CL by end of Feb he'll be saying how the FA cup is in our DNA. Please get this guy away from the media and put Dunc there instead. He's so annoying.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

06 Jan 2016 00:41:39
Just on a full house tomorrow mate. go on the club site when go to buy a ticket. you can choose your seat so you can basically count what's left and there ain't many. a few hundred at most. don't forget city will bring about 5-6 thousand because of ticketing rules.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2016 00:44:14
My guess will bee 39000 maybe a bit less if a few stay away. One thing we can't do is stay away it's a semi final and were all needed.
