Everton 1-0 Stoke - FULL TIME
Goodison Park is buzzing once again as the club starts to rake up wins. It's great to see Pienaar and Arteta back in the squad. What's even more heartwarming is that Rodwell is back in the squad though it is only on the bench.
Everton are not getting to the headers and are losing out the 50-50s for the first 10 minutes.
What a run by Yak in the 14th minute on the left channel. Yak overlapped the opposition and placed a strike towards goal. A weak one though.
Now, Everton's passing the ball all over the place except to the feet of the players.
In the 24th minute, a pass from Arteta saw Yak flicked the the ball into the path of Pienaar whose strike was stopped by the opposing goalkeeper. Everton's started to get desperate as Timmy had to put in a long shot rather than using his header. The end result is a sky-high ball.
Everton has been playing into Stoke's hands. It's just a dull game on a dull day. The teams head to the dressing rooms with a 0-0 scoreline.
In the 2nd half, Everton kick-off.
Coleman made a jinking run through the opposing defence before dispatching a shot. Caught by the oposing goalie.
So close! Bainesy pulls the ball back, and made a lovely pass to Arteta just outside the penalty area, only to be cleared by kamikaze-diving players. It's a messy game with tugging of shirts in the penalty box, and even a disallowed goal.
Moyes is going for 4-4-2 with Saha coming in for Coleman in the 61st minute.
Yak scores his first goal of the season!!! That's why we need him! Timmy's strike saw the ball rebound off the post only as far as to Yak. The striker shimmied, move the ball coolly to the left and with one thunderous strike, nearly tore the roof of the net! Everton 1-0 Stoke. Assist: Timmy.
Second substitution - Bily for Yak in the 85th minute.
Super hard-fought Everton win. We are moving up!
Score: Everton 1-0 Stoke
Scorer: Yak
Assist: Timmy
Subs: Saha, Bily

Cahill and Arteta See Liverpool Off
Everton 2-0 Liverpool - Full Time
Every win in the Merseyside derby feels that the Blues have won the championship! It's truly a bonus to see Gerrard dredging his feet on the field and most likely, he's mulling over which club he should move into.
So all of Liverpool's problems seemed solved, and now they take a short trip over to Goodison Park. Felli, Pienaar, Rodwell, Anichebe and Saha are all out and sometimes you wonder how many players do Moyes have on hand.
Liverpool are playing square passes largely within their own half and have not really threatened. But Everton too are not doing much when they have possession in the first 10 minutes.
Everton wins their first free kick in the 10th minute with Yak being pulled down just outside the penalty area. Arteta's free-kick hits the wall, and the entire pinball back-forth between players before Jag blasted the ball to kingdom come.
Interesting, in the 13th minuteYak turns in a cross, with Distin (Why is he in the penalty area?) trapping the ball and striking the ball just above the bar.
Great shot!!! Yak was all alone in the 27th minute. Twisting and turning, in came Timmy to create more havoc for Lierpool. He held the ball long enough to create a little space for Yak who then strike for goal. Piked up by the goalkeeper.
I'm happy that Liverpool looks dis-jointed.
WHAT A GOAL!!! Get it in!!! In the 33rd minute, Coleman made a jinking run into the penalty area with two defenders in tow. Coleman then puts in a mouth-watering low cross and Timmy was there to smash the ball into goal. Everton 1-0 Liverpool. Assist: Coleman.
Ossie looks injured but for the saving grace of the entire world, no Bily. I'm no fan of his. Ossie seems to be running comfortably once again and he placed in a good shot in the 44th minute.
Everton owns the first half! Kevin Campbell came on, no not to play, but to show his thanks to the Goodison faithful.
Bily, the player I'd hope not to appear, is on the pitch for the 2nd half. Ossie has sustained an injury.
Everton needs to get a second goal to keep them away from the final minutes onslaught.
Goal!!!!! Arteta from outside the penalty box in the 49th minute!!! From a corner, the ball was cleared by Pool's defender only as far as Arteta. No one was marking him! His strike saw the ball swivel into the net! Everton 2-0 Liverpool.
Everton is allowing Pool to attack and that should not be the way. moyes is bent on attacking as he replaces Arteta with Beckford. Looks like an injury. C'mon Beck, show us what you've got.
Distin is clearing the ball all day and to me, he's the man of the match.
Beck first strike of the ball. He has to focus on scoring and not making a fool of himself. Heitinga off and Hibbo on.
Good pressure by Distin to make the Pool striker flop in front of goal.
And it's a win by Everton! A very magnificant one that sees Everton move up the table.

Cahill's Goal Kick-starts Everton's Season
BIRMINGHAM 0-2 EVERTON - FULL TIME
Everton is under siege. When have you seen the club at the bottom of the league table? Should they be desperate? The club has not played too badly but somehow they just cannot score. And when you can't score, you have to defend well. The Toffees did not do that badly but they are losing by one goals, and if you can't defend that, you lose.
Neville has slotted in as right back while Coleman has been pushed to the right wing. Ossie has came in for Pienaar who is injured.
Everton started with gusto once again and hardly looked like a team at the bottom.
As early as the 3rd minutr, Everton showed much menace as Bainesy's cross met the head of Coleman. Saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Timmy was fuming as he was in a better position to head the ball.
Everton had a clear penalty claim but it was not given by the ref. Bainsey was bundled over. So why was it not a penalty?
In the 24th minute, a hopeful punt forward saw a Birmingham striker going one-on-one with Howard. But he fluffed his shot. What a miss, but what a let-off for Everton.
Everton though, pressed forward. In the 26th minute, a mistake by a Birmingham defender allowed the ball to roll to Yak, who curled the ball towards goal. The opposing goalkeeper could not reached the ball, but was saved on the line by a defender! Will Everton ever score?
Bainesy was showing how dangerous he is. He swashbuckling style saw him shimmering into the penalty area. He's tripped by the defender in the penalty area!!! No penalty again!!!! Is there really such a thing as no luck?
Second half sees Everton on the ascension. What a great own goal in the 53rd minute!!! After they pressed and they pressed. A cross by Ossie only for a Birmingham defender to put it past his own keeper. Whatever way, I'd say. Birmingham 0-1 Everton.
Everton needs to hold on for 15 more minutes to garner their first win. C'mon! They have to do it. Heitinga is in for Yak in the 79th minute. Huh? Playing defensively? They need to bring on Beckford then. They can't play that defensively. Moyes got to get a striker out there. Not when Timmy himself is tired. He can't be that striker.
Bily the mis-firing midfielder coming on for braveheart Coleman in the 86th minute. Well done for the young lad. Timmy looks tired. C'mon, get him off.
GOAL!!!!!! The last minute of play! 93rd minute! Bainesy wanted to hold the ball, but was forced to move into the penalty area. Since he was given that space, he made that superb cross for Timmy to score with a stooping header! Great goal.
Everton season has finally started! Birmingham did not look threatening at all.
Score: Birmingham 0-2 Everton
Scorers: og; Timmy
Assists: Ossie, Bainesy
