EVERTON (2) vs (2) TOTTENHAM - FULL TIME

It seems like Everton's first team have always been chosen before-hand. It's not about Moyes being decisive over his choice, but the availability of whatever players he have helps him choose the team. You see, Everton has been decimated by injuries and even Yobo and Rodwell 's return were through late fitness tests. That is one reason why you wonder Everton's leaking goals!

Anyway, here we go. Everton needs to give their home crowd something to cheer about.

Moyes tried out Yobo for 14 minutes and after that, the Nigerian had to make way for young Coleman due of injury. In the 21st minute, Coleman's run into the penalty area made it uncomfortable for Tottenham and it needed an opposing defender to clear the ball away.

A lovely ball by Coleman once again in the 27th minute saw the ball reach the fleet-footed Pienaar. He slid the ball into the penalty area only for Jo to fluff the shot.

So far, Hibbo has done very well to keep Tottenham from scoring certain goals. Things were also getting very heated on the field, and that what needs to be. Bring back the dogs of war! So at half time, Everton 0-0 Tottenham.

Just after the kick-off, Everton is down by a goal. Was there even a half-time talk, I wonder. Everton is now faced with wave-after-wave of attacks. Moyes once again will need to do something about it. Bring on Saha!!! And Everton is down by two goals in the 58th minute. Bring on Saha and Yak?

Yak is in for Rodwell while Saha is in for Jo. A stoic look on Moyes's face but he knows that Everton are in deep deep poo-poo! Everton scores in the 77th minute. That's the fighting spirit. Coleman, who have been playing well all evening sneaked past the opposing defender on the right before putting in a lovely cross for Saha to hammer in a goal. Everton 1-2 Tottenham.

Everton equalised! Coleman really scare the opposing defence as he maruaded forward. He made a lovely cross once again that skipped past all the players in the six yard box. Bainsey made a return shot only for Timmy to head in a low, low ball. Everton 2-2 Tottenham.

Howard saves a penalty in the 94th minute!!!!!!!!!!!! What a game! Four goals, saved penalty. You just have everything in this game.


Score: Everton 2-2 Tottenham
Scorer: Saha, Timmy
Assist: Coleman
Subs: Coleman, Saha, Yak

EVERTON (0) vs (2) LIVERPOOL - FULL TIME

This is both the worst time and best time for Everton. Never have I seen a stronger side than the team that Moyes is putting out. Best because we still have mulitple injuries - Jag, Arteta, Ossie, Anichebe, etc, but we still have enough players to make that difference. Liverpool is also without Torres. So the chances are there? Not really. Everton form is down the dumps. They even lost their last match against Hull City. Worse still, playing at home does not conjure up any confidence.

A very good play by Everton in the 7th minute that saw Bily just hitting the ball wide. Pool scores in the 11th minute through a wicked deflection. So, so unfortunate. Everton 0-1 Liverpool.

Bily had an open chance to score in the 16th minute but just fluffed it totally! In the 22nd minute, Bily tried a sissors kick that forced the opposing goalkeeper to make the save. Good flick by Felli in the 27th minute but Jo just did not make a good enough connection.

Wonderful reflex save by Howard in the 41st minute. The ball was definitely heading into the top of the net. Everton had two goals in the net and both scored by Jo, but you know what, both were off side!@#@ The players trodded in for their break, wondering why they are losing.

Everton will need to bring in Yak and Saha for the bumbling Jo, while changing the formation to 4-4-2. Finally, Saha is on for Jo in the 65th minute.

Impossible!!! A wonderful header from Timmy in the 71st minute, saved by the opposing goalkeeper, a return strike by Felli, bounced off the goalkeeper once again. What does Everton need to do to score that goal? Well, Everton is down by two goals in the 80th minute. Everton 0-2 Liverpool. Yak is in for Timmy in the 81st minute. Final sub, Neill for Yobo in the 85th minute.

Final whistle goes. Nothing's going for Everton. It's not the loss that hurts, it's the bruised ego.

Score: Everton 0-2 Liverpool
Scorer: Forget about it
Assist: None
Subs: Saha, Yak, Neill
