EVERTON vs READING - FULL TIME

What in the world were they trying to do?

Faddie seemed so lost in the park that not only the crowd got sick of him, not only Sly would like to box the daylights out of him, Moyes patience was so overtly stretched that one half of Faddie was all the manager could take. Faddie was totally off colour.

Frustration was boiling over too for Ossie as wherever VdM plays, there's always a gap as he hardly tracks back, leaving Ossie to cover for him on the wing back. This leaves the centre open for counter attacks.

It was great to welcome Timmy back to the team, but we were without influential Maestro Arteta.

Reading literally dominated the first half. Looking at the way the Toffees played, you would have thought that we were the away team. Shortly after, a simple set-play, a deflection, and Everton was one goal down.

Moyes threw on two strikers to supplement AJ - the young Anichebe and Beats. Both did well, with Anichebe nearly scoring if not for the goal mouth clearance. Beats also had a shot on goal that blitzed the palms of Reading's goalkeeper.

It was great to see AJ scoring from a header. But from Moyes point of view, the Toffees have dropped two points.

Score: Everton 1-1 Reading
