EVERTON vs READING - FULL TIME

Everton really looked out-of-sorts today. It's easy to find a scapegoat and definitely we have one - Yaks. But beyond that, everton seemed weak in all departments. I tend to believe that other teams have figured out AJ, and thus nullifying any threats. I missed the 1st half and I found out that I didn't miss much. So here's the 2nd half.

A great cross by Arteta in the 60th minute, and the Reading defence cleared it out of the box reaching as far as to Ossie. The defence closed in on him rather quickly and Ossie had little choice but to pump the ball back into the penalty area. The Reading defence played Jag in whose looping header saw it beat the opposing goalkeeper. Everton 1-0 Reading.

Everton came to life after that goal. In the 66th minute, Ossie struck the cross bar with a lovely cross shot. So close. Once again, Everton will need to score another goal to make sure they win.

Neville has been giving away a whole lot of balls and that's not too good a sign, and he gave the ball away! again!! Neville has wasted so many attacking opportunities.

Vaughny tried an overhead kick on the 76th minutes and was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Great shot! Everton nearly conceded. Lescott missed the clearance and it was one-on-one with Howard. But Jag sliding tackle ensured Everton maintains their lead.

One of the worst game I've ever seen Everton play.

Score: Everton 1-0 Reading
Scorer: Jag
Assist: Ossie
Sub: Vaughny
