Correct score prediction this week. Charlton was superbly hard to beat. There were not many clear-cut chances, and Charlton seemed to be able to get to those 50-50 balls first. They were controlling the midfield, and we were just soaking the pressure. Just imagine, we are playing in Goodison and it somehow seemed like we were playing away. This was the kind of improvement that Charlton has shown.
Darren Bent seemed so much more dangerous than our front pair of AJ and Beats. Talking about Beats, I don't know whether he still has the drive. He fought really hard, but it was pretty painful to watch him play. I wished so much that he could break his duck, but it seems like I habve to wait much longer. With Faddie scoring by a magnificant volley, I fear that Beat's time is about up.
Even Lescott is popping in goals and his goal tally stands equal to Beat, and yet, Lescott is just a centre-back. He even added one to the goods in this game.
We'll be playing another relegation battler next week - West Ham. We need that points. But back to the game, the Toffees continued to peg at goal even though the opponent was hrad to break down. There was sheer lots of patience and self-belief. Never Give Up! Never Surrender!
Even on this night, Anderson was given the opportunity to play. Good use of the reserves.
