WOLVERHAMPTON (0) vs (0) EVERTON - FULL TIME
Everton has no Arteta who's ruled out because of a groin strain. Rodwell comes in for the Spaniard. Howard, who seemed to be injured in the last match, looks ready for this match. On the bench, we have Yak, and Yobo who can run the length of the field.
What a wasted chance in the 5th minute! Pienaar ran aganist the defenders. Played a one-two with Saha before finding a free Ossie whose shot seemed rather uncommital! SAved by the goalkeeper. So close to getting Everton's first goal. Ossie has a second chance in the 8th minute but he shoots wide. Sigh! Ossie has his third try in the 15th minute. Weak shot. Oh boy.
Suddenly, both teams seemed to be contented with putting in mild punches to see who flinches first. Everton's first shot on target by Bainesy, in the 30th minute. You just feel that Everton's missing Arteta orchestration in midfield.
What a power shot by Saha in the 37th minute. It was struck so hard that the ball hit the goal post and it went into orbit. Timmy has also shot two balls into orbit! What a wasteful game from Everton's point-of-view. Half time: Wolves 0-0 Everton.
The second half sees chances again but Everton are wasting all their chances. Saha had an opportunity to plany a header in the 52nd minute but somehow heads it beyond the goal. We have to keep it on target.
This is getting too predictable. Heitinga had a shot in the 60th minute but it was just too soft. If Moyes want to win this match, he'll need to make some changes soon. Saha is dissappointing once again. Ossie is also not playing to his creative ability. ANOTHER light touch by Bainesy in the 67th minute. All he had to do was strike it hard and Everton would be leading like 27-0!
WHAT IS EVERTON GONNA DO??? Ossie is shooting crap! Another mis in the 76th minute. Yak is in for Saha. Looks like Moyes is not changing his formation. Change! Change! Change! Bily should come in to prove himself! Pienaar has struck two balls but all mis-cued shot! I've used enough of exclamation! Gosling is in for Ossie in the 83rd minute. Bily replaces Rodwell in the 87th minute.
Gosling is injured but chooses to stay on the field. Everton now only has 10 1/2 men! Timmy sooo nearly scored with a overhead kick in the 95th minute, but was cleared off the line!
Horrendous result!
Score: Wolverhampton 0-0 Everton

MAN CITY (0) vs (2) EVERTON - FULL TIME
Everton sees a largely unchanged side with Saha coming in for Yak. Both teams are playing from field to field for the first 10 minutes. Both sets of players are also playing a pretty tight match. But in the Man City culdron, it'll ne great if Everton can pick up three points.
You can see the commitment of both side when from a Man City cross, three players got injured. A Man City flying header, a diving attempt by Bainesy to stop the ball, and Howard pumping out the to keep that clean sheet but bumping into his upright.
Man City is slowly piling the pressure on Everton with all their overlapping runs and clean passes. Howard had to put in two good stops already. Distin has also put in a good show thus far. His strong frame has seen out many physical attacks by Man City players.
Everton leads!!!!!!!!!!! In the 32nd minute, Arteta free kick just at the edge of the box sees Bainesy striking the ball towards goal. The sneaky Timmy was there to deflect the ball towards the other end of the goal which totally wrong-footed Man City's goalkeeper. Man City 0-1 Everton. Assist: Bainesy.
The teams are back from half time with Everton having a slender lead. Everton needs to kep a clean sheet for the next five to ten minutes to put the sky blues under pressure. So close to a second goal in the 49th minute from Ossie but it was deflected for a corner. Nothing noteworthy came out from that.
Another lovely try by Timmy in the 53rd minute with an exquisite chip to try to catch the opposing goalkeeper off his line. So, so close.
Everton players such as Saha and Timmy seem to be tiring and we may thus see fresh pairs of legs, and we see that Howard is injured too. Oh my. Man City smell blood because of the injury and are attacking Everton incessantly.
Moyes is playing safe with Rodwell in for Saha in the 71st minute. Timmy might play up in attack. But I thought Timmy himself looks tired? And Moyes is not changing Howard? The pressure is still on and it looks to get only tougher.
Everton is pushing out and trying to keep the pressure off their defenders. 10 more minutes to hold on to that lead. Howard landed very uncomfortably but he just wants to continue.
Everton scores on the counter attack!!! Lovely trickery by Rodwell on the right channel. He cuts back the ball and put in a low cross. Timmy dummies the ball and Arteta was on hand to slot in the goal. Man City 0-2 Everton. Assist: Rodwell. Eat that, Lescott!!!
Excitingly, there was even an altercation between the two managers with Man City manager pushing Moyes. Wow!
Yobo is in for Arteta in the 92nd minute.
A good away win! We are going up the table. Yeah!

EVERTON (2) vs (0) BOLTON - FULL TIME
Everton sees a strong first XI with the bench warmers looking ready to make a difference if neccessary. We have an unchanged line-up from the last match against Birmingham, while Ossie and Saha are on the bench. Neville plays his 200th Premiership game, something to celebrate about.
Everton's first couple of minutes see them floating passes quite aimlessly, and loads of misplaced passes. Anichebe was through on goal in the 4th minute but he just put in one too many touches and the chance was lost.
Everton is starting to turn the screw once again. Anichebe seems to have been injured in a challenge and the boy has been very unfortunate in terms of injury. All within 12 minutes. So sorry for the lad. Bily replaces him and the Russian better show what he is made of.
Neville is making stupid mistakes once again. A signature of what a patchy right back he is. Oh boy. There seems to be no impetus for the boys. You just sense that Saha needs to come in to make that difference.
Nothing more to report about in the 1st half other than Anichebe's injury. Even the tunes to Z car sounds whimpy. Sigh.
Normally steady players such as Jag and even Arteta have been making wrong passes all day. Heitinga puts in the first shot on goal in the 53rd minute! Moyes, we need Saha to be in soon! Don't wait anymore! There he is. Saha is in for Timmy in the 62nd minute. 4-4-2 formation.
A second on-goal effort in the 68th minute. An Arteta free kick headed towards goal by Jag. Saved by the opposing goalkeeper.
Let's change the game! A neat pass by Pienaar in the 70th minute saw Yak running free. But the latter was stopped by an unfair defensive challenge. Bolton's down to 10-man. Free kick for Everton. Lovely, lovely goal by Mikel Arteta!!!!!! The ball curled over the defensive wall and into goal. The goalkeeper was left totally stranded! Everton 1-0 Bolton. An intelligent through pass from Pienaar.
Ossie comes in for Yak, 75th minute. Everton's trying their best to get a second goal, and they need to get it to make their dominance count.
88th minute, a great corner by Arteta, shot by Heitinga, palmed away by the goalkeeper. Ossie picked up the ball and smashed it back towards goal. It beat everyone except the cross bar!
Goal for Everton in the 88th minute! A nice run into the penalty area by Ossie. He danced past a tight defence, passed the ball past all the players in the penalty area. But it did not elude Pienaar who slotted the ball into the net. Pick it out! Everton 2-0 Bolton. Assist: Ossie.
Good to see that the midfielders are contributing goals. Finally a clean sheet, and great three points to help Everton climb the league table.

BIRMINGHAM (2) vs (2) EVERTON - FULL TIME
Everton sees the return of Timmy but Saha does not make it into the team. Donovan will be playing his final match for now.
Both sides started cautiously; both trading tender touches; both sides have also won their first corner by the 10th minute. So so close for Everton in the 15th minute. Bainesey somehow bamboozled the opposing defence before passing the ball to Pienaar who curled the ball towards goal. Within the minute, Timmy had a header towards goal once again, but a great stop by the opposing goalkeeper.
Pick it out of the net!!! Power shot by Anichebe in the 18th minute!!!! It started with a great pass from Neville. Anichebe held the ball before launching a thunderbolt into the net. Birmingham 0-1 Everton. Assist: Neville.
Everton's over-running Birmingham. 21st minute. Pienaar picked up the ball in the penalty box after a lovely pass from Arteta, ran against the defence, and chipped in a lovely ball for Yak to score against a back-peddling goalkeeper. Birmingham 0-2 Everton. Assist: Pienaar.
Birmingham pulled one back in the 25th minute. Birmingham 1-2 Everton.
Arteta needs to take more control of the ball. With its tail up, Birmingham is starting to threaten. The opposing goalkeeper kept Birmingham in the game as he palmed away another shot from Bainesey from a free kick. Both sets of players deserve their 15 minutes of rest.
Start of the 2nd half and there was already a call for penalty with a Birmingham defender blocking a goal-bound shot with his hands. But to be fair, the ball was hit with power. Another block with the hand less than a minute later but the referee gave nothing! What is this?
Birmingham scores in the 51st minute from a counter attack. Birmingham 2-2 Everton.
Everton is now being pressed back. They need a creative outlet and I can only see Donovan coming in to stretch Birmingham.Suddenly, all the confidence that Everton had previously seemed to have left them.
Yak is being replaced by Donovan in the 67th minute, while Rodwell comes in for Timmy in the 75th minute. Final replacement, Anichebe is taken out for precaution sake and is replaced by Gosling.
This game was two points dropped. After leading two goals, Everton allowed Birmingham to come back to equalise. Anyway, it's an away match. So to console oneself, a draw is still good.

EVERTON (5) vs (1) HULL CITY - FULL TIME
Everton starts the game with Yak leading from the front. Anichebe takes the right wing while the soon-to-be departing Donovan is rested. Killer and Barmby return to Goodison.
Everton had an early scare with Hull trying to strike at goal first. But Howard made a great save. After that, Everton started to control the game. Arteta had two great opportunities and it showed that he has a really hunger in this match.
Yak strikes the post in the 12th minute! A poor pass was intercepted by Ossie who fed Yak. But the ball just refused to go in. But nothing could stop the toffee wave. Yak puts in a lovely cross on the left channel. It floated past all the defence and Arteta was there to finish the ball. Everton 1-0 Hull City. Assist: Yak.
Everton is truly playing flowing football! Even Neville looked hungry and they won themselves a penalty in the 27th minute. Yak has a chance to score but it was saved!
Everton was punished for that miss. Hull scored a goal from a free kick. Everton 1-1 Hull City. It totally silenced the Goodison crowd.
But Everton continued to peg at the goal. Anichebe crossed from the right, picked up by Pienaar who back-flicked it to Arteta who gamely slotted the ball into the right side of the post. Everton 2-1 Hull City. Assist: Pienaar.
Everton's back four seems to be holding on well with Jag and Distin holding the fort. Ossie looks injured and Moyes had to bring in Rodwell. Out he goes again.
An on-form Arteta showed that he can both attack and defend, scoring goals while at the same time, clearing balls away from the goal post.
Coming back for the 2nd half, Everton continued to press. Yak was flagged offside even though he was not in the 47th minute, and thus the goal by Anichebe does not count.
What a chance. Anichebe puts in a ball from the right. Rodwell pulled the ball back before shooting. It was deflected wide. But the subsequent corner by Arteta was headed in by a Hull player in the 50th minute. Thank you. Everton 3-1 Hull City.
Everton moved the ball all over the park and Hull City players were really chasing ghosts. In the 62nd minute, Distin played a one-two and was through on goal. His strike was just like a striker's but only to be saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Unbelievable!
In the 67thminute, Yak even had the odesity to pick the ball up from Everton's third of the field, run the entire length, and even had a strike at goal. Well held by the opposing goalkeeper.
We are getting Donovan on for Anichebe. This is his final match at Goodison and with all his wonderful display in past games, Donovan received the loudest cheer! Oh boy, Fatty Yak missed a sitter in front of goal! This after a nice pass from Donovan in the 73rd minute.
What a goal!!! A one-two between Bainesey and Pienaar saw the former crossing the ball into the penalty area. Donovan was there to smash the ball into goal. Brilliant! Everton 4-1 Hull City. Assist: Bainesey.
Gosling replaces Pienaar and soon after the substitution in the 85th minute, Donovan pumped in a bobbly cross from the right channel but still, Rodwell was there to finish the ball. What a night for Everton. What a night for the fans! Everton 5-1 Hull City. Assist: Donovan.
Total annihilation!

TOTTENHAM (2) vs (1) EVERTON - FULL TIME
Everton rested Donovan while Saha's injured. The Nigerian duo of Yak and Anichebe came in to lend a hand. Everton started badly with Tottenham socring their first goal as early as the 10th minute. Tottenham 1-0 Everton.
Soon after, Everton was two-goal down by the 27th minute. Tottenham 2-0 Everton. It definitely does not leave a good taste in any Toffee fans' mouths. Is it the Europa League exit that is getting to them? I guess Moyes would have given them a hair dryer treatment to wake the players up.
Came back Everton did and it was from a downward header from the right channel that saw the ball skipped past two defenders for Yak to tap the ball into the net. Tottenham 2-1 Everton. Assist: Rodwell.
But try as Everton did, they could not win this match in White Hart Lane.
Score: Tottenham 2-1 Everton
Scorer: Yak

EUROPA LEAGUE: SPORTING LISBON (3) vs (0) EVERTON - FULL TIME
It's once again an ungodly hour of 4am and I'd missed the first half. Yawn! Everton brings a one-goal advantage to Sporting and that means that all the other team had to do was to put in a full 90 minutes of attack, and attack they did. Wave after wave of Sporting's attack seemed to have left the Toffees breathless.
Sporting also seemed to be fighting for every ball ferociously, spreading play across the field while going in hard from the centre. So far, Everton has been on defending mode and the back four have handled pretty well, keeping their opponent away from Howard's goal post.
The time that Sporting went pass Everton was through a free kick but the goal post was there to prevent the ball from going in. Sporting 0-0 Everton.
Everton started the second half defending once again. But just at the start, Sanderos seemed to pull a thigh muscle and this allowed Jag to make his first appearance of the season after a terribly long 10-month layoff through injury. Welcome back Jag!
To be fair, the Sporting boys looked much more creative with all their flowing runs and passes. Everton was totally exposed in the 59th minute with a pin-point cross that saw a marauding player striking the ball towards goal. Howard stood strong to pull off a stupendous save. Bily is being replaced by Rodwell.
Everton had a chance to counter attack in the 62nd minute. A high pass from Donovan, brought down by Saha who laid it for Pienaar but his curler was way off.
Sporting came back even stronger to score a goal! Sporting 1-0 Everton. If the score stays as this, Everton is out of the competition. Everton now have to press the game. Final throw of the dice, Yak comes in for Donovan.
Saha received a good ball whose point blank shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Everton is down by two goal in the 75th minute. We are in the dumps! Sporting 2-0 Everton.
In injury time, Everton conceded the third goal with a wonderful run and a lovely strike that saw Everton collapse in defeat. We played so defensively that we could not come out of our shell to attack. It's Moyes who chooses the tactics. We can't blame him for trying to protect the one-goal advantage.
Anyway, end of the Europa League run. Guess we just have to move along and concentrate on the Premier League now.

EVERTON (3) vs (1) MAN UTD - FULL TIME
Old Man United boys Howard, Neville and Saha welcome their former employer while former wunderkid Rooney returns to his former hunting ground. Well, and one hope that there will be joy at Goodison and hopefully, Rooney gets sent off.
Great shot from Saha inthe 13th minute as he had really no where to go except forward. Good try from distance. But in the 15th minute, Man Utd scored a goal. You just knew it was coming as the attack from the right flank has been incessant. Everton 0-1 Man Utd.
What a goal!!!!! And it was against the run of play! Picking up a defensive clearance in the 18th minute, Bily controlled the ball, swivelled his body to wrong foot two defenders, before putting in a sweet strike that tucked into the bottom right corner of the goal. Everton 1-1 Man Utd.
What an opportunity for Donovan who totally miscued the ball in the 38th minute. But looking at the replay, a Man Utd defender actually handled the ball in the penalty area!
In the second half, the game play was pretty tight and both teams played their hearts out. But both side hardly had a chance at the goal. Young Gosling replaces Bily who had done tremendosuly well in this game.
What a game! What a goal!!! In the 75th minute, Pienaar put in a low cross, Saha dummied, Gosling scores! Simply brilliant! Everton 2-1 Man Utd. Assist: Pienaar.

Moyes replaces Pienaar with Rodwell to give the defence more bite while also ensuring Pienaar is protected as he's alreadyon a yellow card.
We're in seven heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everton scores!!!!!! A lovely sliding pass from Arteta saw Rodwell picking up the ball. He still had alot to do but his fresh legs brought him pass all the defenders to tuck in below Man Utd's goalkeeper! Everton 3-1 Man Utd.
First we beat Chelsea, now we beat Man Utd. I guess Everton can beat any team in the world now!

EUROPA LEAGUE: EVERTON (2) vs (1) SPORTING LISBON - FULL TIME
I'd hope to catch the match but it was showingat some ungodly hour in Singapore. Here's the link to the goals just in case you've missed the game.
http://theoriginalwinger.com/2010-02-16-everton-vs-sporting-lisbon-highlights-europa-league
Everton scored a wonderfully crafted goal from the right channel. In the 33rd minute, Neville pushed the ball into the path of the marauding Timmy who sprinted alongside a defender. Knowing that his angle has been closed down, Timmy back-flicked the ball into the path of Pienaar who expertly curled the ball into the top right hand corner of the goal. Everton 1-0 Sporting Lisbon. Assist: Timmy.
In the 2nd half, Timmy created havoc once again. Bainesey put in a lovely cross from the corner flag. Timmy was there to distract the goalkeeper and all Distin needed to do was to get the ball deflected off his thighs. Everton 2-0 Sporting Lisbon. Assist: Bainesey.
But it wasn't to be a sweet night for Everton as Distin was sent off for a last-man tug on the opposing player. The opponents went on to score from the penalty spot. Everton 2-1 Sporting Lisbon.
The good thing is that Everton brings to Portugal a one goal advantage.

EVERTON (2) vs (1) CHELSEA - FULL TIME
Everton played a largely unchanged team after a bruising match against Liverpool. Arteta and Bily are in for the injured Felli and the suspended Pienaar.
The first 10 minutes sees the players from both teams testing out each other's patience with multiple passes like cobras waiting to pounce. Everton had a very good spell in the 16th minute, but Chelsea went on to score. Poor poor marking by Neville in the 17th minute. Everton 0-1 Chelsea. To be fair, it was on Neville's blind side but still he just has to be that extra bit alert!
Even with five in midfield, Everton's not controlling the match. Saha looked like a lonely man up front. In the 25th minute, Everton just has to clear the ball but Neville made a mess of it and it gave Chelsea the chance to go at Everton. Thank goodness they did not score.
Bainesy had his chance in the 27th minute but the strike was a bit lightweight.
Everton pulls a goal back in the 32nd mniute!!! Lovely corner by Donovan! Saha blind-sided the opposing defence to score with a solid header. Everton 1-1 Chelsea. Donovan assist. I think was a sigh of relief than a sign of confidence.
Penalty in the 43rd minute!!!!!!! Quick feet by Donovan! Saha took the penalty but was stopped by a stupendous save! Everton came so close towards taking the lead.
In the second half, Everton had a couple of good chances and Everton has kept up the pressure.
Rodwell replaced Arteta in the 73rd minute. Hopefully Everton can hold on and so far, yes they can!
A super long ball from Distin in the 74th minute that saw John Terry totally missed the clearance. Saha chested it down and plummelled the ball into the back of the net. Everton 2-1 Chelsea. Distin Assist.
Everton needs to hold the fort as they are under siege. In the 85th minute, Gosling comes in for Bily who looked totally spent. The linesman gave a 5 minutes added time???
Everton has to hold on! Distin has be a total tower of strength as he held back Chelsea with so many flying headers.
Final replacement - Sanderos for two-goal King Saha in the 94th minute. Everton has won the game!!!!!!!! Everton 2-1 Chelsea! Great, great performance! And better still with Liverpool losing! Haa! We really had a scare when Chelsea scored first but Saha's two goals gace Everton the victory. Goodison is fast becoming a fortress once again.

We really had a scare when Chelsea scored first but Saha's two goals gace Everton the victory. Goodison is fast becoming a fortress once again.
Score: Everton 2-1 Chelsea
Scorer: Saha (2)
Assists: Donovan, Distin
Substitutes: Rodwell, Gosling, Sanderos

LIVERPOOL (1) vs (0) EVERTON - FULL TIME
This is one game that I'm expecting blood and gore, and it has not been a disappointment. Distin starts in the place of Senderos while the rest of the squad remains unchanged.
Throughout the 45 minutes, you'd see loads of full blooded jabs, dirty tugs , push whack, etc and you wonder whether this is a boxing match! Both sides showed that they are ready for the match and they are definitely not pulling their punches.
There're not many goal mouth action, but on the field, so many heart-stopping moments. Both sets of players really never gave each other much space, when one player has the ball, two and even three players would close him down.
The highlight of the match is the two footed tackles by Krygiakos and Felli. Both put in horrible, horrible tackles. But without the instant replay, I would have also only seen the Reds tackle. Thus, off the Reds defender! Felli did not return because he injured his shin. Arteta replaced Felli.
The first half ended with a sweet free kick from Gerrard which hits the post.
Second half was as fiesty and in the 54th minute, Kuyt scores with a header, all against the run of play. Liverpool 1-0 Everton. Why must this happen? We are a man up! Make use of the man.
Everton made two further changes in the 71st minute with Yak and Anichebe coming in for Saha and Ossie. Everton seemed to have lost all ideas on how to break Liverpool down.
It's always so true that the referee always want to even things out. Pienaar was sent off.
Forget this game. Forget about any bragging rights! :(

WIGAN (0) vs (1) EVERTON - FULL TIME
I'd always love their black with pink stripes jersey so with that, I'd say they will do something wonderful today. Senderos is thrown into the fray to partner Heitinga in the centre. The team looked every bit a first team, and I do hope they will play like a first teamer.
Everton made so many passes and it ended with Ossie squeezing himeself pass two defenders to put in a shot in the 2nd minute. On target but the shot was a bit weak and was easily saved by the opposing goalkeeper.
The match is fast turning into a scrap and for Everton, they need to stamp their authority a little bit more. Timmy put in a good shot in the 15th minute but once again, a pretty weak shot.
Everton so nearly conceded a goal in the 20th minute but for a wonderful save by Howard.
Oh man! Saha had a strike at goal, only to be deflected by an offside Timmy. Wigan is pressing Everton now and Senderos allowed the player to run, though the final strike was off target.
What a great save from Saha's header in the 27th minute! It's suppose to be a penalty!!! The player brought Saha down in the 30th minute!
Everton's hardly commanding the game. One has to wonder now who else on the bench can make the difference. Half time: Wigan 0-0 Everton.
Everton kicks off the second half. A great save from a Bainsey freekick in the 47th minute and very quickly, Wigan broke away for a quick counter attack. Senderos could not match the pace of the striker and the latter had a free but totally wide shot.
Heitinga nearly conceded a penalty! Just outside the box! So so close. Both the centre defenders are playing rubbish! Donovan and Pienaar has switched sides in hope of at least plundering a goal.
Everton scored a goal but it was ruled offside. WHY WAS IT OFFSIDE??? Sigh! Anichebe comes in for Donovan in the 74th minute.
Stunner!!!!!!!!! Timmy with his header and we are ahead! Timmy is the best header of the ball! From a corner by Bainesy, Timmy rose like a slipery salmon to head the ball into the net. Wigan 0-1 Everton. Assist: Bainesy.
Vaughny comes in for the injured Saha. It was really the last kick for Saha who injured his archilles. Wigan posted a last strike but it smacked off the bar and back into play. So, so close!
We managed to grab all three points and we're catching up with the front runners! That's the way!

EVERTON (2) vs (0) SUNDERLAND - FULL TIME
Everton had a horrible FA Cup game and they really have to lift themselves out of that and concntrate on the league for now. Sanderos and long term absentees Arteta, Vaughany and Anichebe are on the bench. Yipee!
What a wonderful start! Everton scores with their first attack in the 6th minute. Felli holds the ball just outside the penalty box. He was given loads of time and space to put in a lovely cross that Timmy back-headed into goal. Everton 1-0 Sunderland. Assist: Felli.
The Toffees are fighting for every ball right now and are not giving the opponents much space to breathe.
Everton is scoring without breaking a sweat! Donovan scores his first goal for Everton in the 18th minute! He should definitely extend his stay in Everton! Pienaar puts in a cross. Timmy cushioned it down for Donovan who sprinted away from the opposing defender to score the second goal. Everton 2-0 Sunderland. Assist: Timmy. What a game Timmy is having.
A tremendous turn by Ossie in the 33rd minute and he shoots on goal, saved by the goalkeeper. Everton is giving a very good account of themselves.
Everton is starting to slack off a little and they are not marking their opponents as tightly as they should be. They have to start pulling their weight once again!
Half time: Everton 2-0 Sunderland.
Everton started as how they have ended. They continue in their amazing run.
So close for Everton! Donovan had a sure goal that was cleared off the line in the 57th minute! Everton is pressing for their third goal. Bainsey is making alot of overlapping runs on the left, though his long passes are much left to be desired.
Things are getting a bit messy and I think it's time for Moyes to ring in some changes. Neville is lobbing the ball all over the place. Everton's losing steam. We need to do something quick!
Great! Arteta is in for Donovan in the 74th minute. Good overall play by Donovan! Vaughany is in for Saha in the 77th minute. Even now, Neville is still putting in aimless long balls.
Why are we placed under pressure in the last 5 minutes? We should be pressing them! Wonderful save by Howard. So close to a Sunderland goal. Everton third substitution, we welcome back Anichebe who comes on for Pienaar in the 90th minute. We just need these kind of strength in depth. Howard made another wonderful save to keep his clean sheet.
Great end to the game though once again, Everton seemed to play well in only one half and had won it becaue of their suerior play in the first half.
Score: Everton 2-0 Sunderland
Scorers: Timmy, Donovan
Assists: Felli, Timmy
