Arteta is BACK!!! It's been more than a year since we last saw him play. Everton starts the first half.
What a mess for Everton. Birmngham scored in the 7th minute of the game. Bainsey tried to clear the ball and missed. The opposing striker had the easiest of header to make it 1-0 to the visitors.
Birmingham's going at Everton using route 1. The long, high balls to bypass our defence. The funny thing is that seemingly Everton is playing that way too! Somehow, Donovan is not looking like his confident self and Everton's not bringing Pienaar and Saha into the picture.
And Everton received a sucker punch with their quick movement. Everton 0-2 Birmngham. A real stab in the heart. Everton's crosses are totally terrible!
Half Time: Everton 0-2 Birmingham.
The 1st half lay was so horrible that Moyes must have felt he was in a car crash! Ossie comes in for Bily.
What a lovely goal in the 56th minute!!!! What a lovely dummy by Bainsey on the left flank. He even had time to put in a lovely low cross. Pienaar deftly sliced the ball towards Ossie who curled the ball into the right corner of the goal. Game on!!! Everton 1-2 Birmingham. Assist Pienaar.
Everton's piling the pressure. COYB!!! Saha wins the first ball in the 60th minute but smashed the ball too far left of the goal.
So, so close for Saha in the 63rd minute as his shot hits the bar and bounces out for a goal kick. Bainsey is putting in cross after cross to create a whole host of problems for the visiting team.
Vaughany is in for Saha in the 68th minute. We need two strikers on the field right? Why is Moyes replacing one for another? Good header by Felli in the box but Vaughany totally fluffed it.
Arteta is in for Donovan in the 75th minute!!! So great to say that name!
So so close to an equaliser in the 78th minute by Vaughany. A superb pass by Arteta. I can't believe that Felli's shot was saved! So close!
Totally sickening with the loss to Birmingham. If only Everton had layed like how they did in the 2nd half. If only, the opportunities that came Felli's way had bulged the net. If only.
Score: Everton 1-2 Birmingham
Scorer: Ossie
Assist: Pienaar
Subs: Ossie, Vaughany, Arteta
