EVERTON (1) vs (1) WOLVES - FULL TIME

It's great to see Yobo back in defence, but Pienaar still is still injured. Last season's loan player Castillo in on the bench for Wolves.

Great five minutes where Yobo showed his astute defensive qualities with his strong defensive headers. But Wolves kept up the pressure with four successive corners that immediately put Everton under pressure. For the first 15 minutes, it seemed that Everton was just playing the long ball in hope that Saha would lick up the ball.

Timmy had a good chance in the 15th minute but his strike at goal just flew past the horizontal and a Bily corner that Saha headed above the cross bar once again. So far, Everton's 4-5-1 is not working very well and they do not even have a decent shot at goal in the first half. Nothing that could have set our hearts a flutter. It also looked like Wolves are the home team. How sickening!

Everton should consider bringing in Felli to fight for the ball. Hibbo made way for Yak at the start of the second half.

Saha made an immediate impact with a good downward header that was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Wolves continued to attack on the counter and they looked totally dangerous.

In the 64th minute, Yak's shotjust flashed past the opposite goal post. Jo replaced Saha in the 72nd minute. Everton conceded a goal in the 75th minute. The entire defence went to sleep!!! Totally frustrating!!! Everton 0-1 Wolves. Felli replaced Ossie in the 76th minutes.

Bily scored his first goal in the 88th minutes. Assist from Jo. Everton 1-1 Wolves.

Forget about celebrating that goal. Poor, poor game by Everton.

Score: Everton 1-1
Scorer: Bily
Assist: Jo
Subs: Yak, Jo, Felli
