Everton is a club under fire. No known strikers other than Anichebe and that'll be tough going for the lone striker role on a young shoulder. The injury list is horrendous enough for VdM to be on the bench after a two years hiatus!
OMG!!! Everton is down by a goal in 34 seconds! Everton 0-1 Villa. The opponent just looks hungrier.
In the 24th minute, a great header by Ossie into the path of Timmy who smashed the ball towards goal, but was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper. Shortly after, Fellaini's headed the ball towards goal but it was not forceful enough.
Sometimes, playing hard is not everything! In the 29th minute, Everton won a free kick from all the pulling, and from Arteta's free kick, Lescott directed the ball pass the opposing goalkeeper. Everton 1-1 Villa.
Anichebe got a shot in towards goal in the 36th minute but it was picked up pretty easily by the opposing goalkeeper. Everton is learning how to give as good as they get now. Villa are indeed a tough customer, but it seems like Everton is biting back. Nearly scored again in the 40th minute with Fellaini's header, but it was cleared off the line.
Start of the 2nd half and Fellaini hits the horizontal bar with his header. But a stupid back pass by Jag and Everton is once again a goal down. Everton 1-2 Villa.
It's the 80th minute now, but I'm really not sure how Moyes will change the game with the crop of substitutes he have. VdM is in for Neville. Lescott scores but soon after, Villa scored in the final second! Everton 2-3 Villa.
Great fight. But totally unfortunate.
Score: Everton 2-3 Villa
Scorer: Lescott (2)
Assist: Ossie, Timmy
Subs: VdM, Bainsey
