EVERTON (0) vs (2) LIVERPOOL - FULL TIME

This is both the worst time and best time for Everton. Never have I seen a stronger side than the team that Moyes is putting out. Best because we still have mulitple injuries - Jag, Arteta, Ossie, Anichebe, etc, but we still have enough players to make that difference. Liverpool is also without Torres. So the chances are there? Not really. Everton form is down the dumps. They even lost their last match against Hull City. Worse still, playing at home does not conjure up any confidence.

A very good play by Everton in the 7th minute that saw Bily just hitting the ball wide. Pool scores in the 11th minute through a wicked deflection. So, so unfortunate. Everton 0-1 Liverpool.

Bily had an open chance to score in the 16th minute but just fluffed it totally! In the 22nd minute, Bily tried a sissors kick that forced the opposing goalkeeper to make the save. Good flick by Felli in the 27th minute but Jo just did not make a good enough connection.

Wonderful reflex save by Howard in the 41st minute. The ball was definitely heading into the top of the net. Everton had two goals in the net and both scored by Jo, but you know what, both were off side!@#@ The players trodded in for their break, wondering why they are losing.

Everton will need to bring in Yak and Saha for the bumbling Jo, while changing the formation to 4-4-2. Finally, Saha is on for Jo in the 65th minute.

Impossible!!! A wonderful header from Timmy in the 71st minute, saved by the opposing goalkeeper, a return strike by Felli, bounced off the goalkeeper once again. What does Everton need to do to score that goal? Well, Everton is down by two goals in the 80th minute. Everton 0-2 Liverpool. Yak is in for Timmy in the 81st minute. Final sub, Neill for Yobo in the 85th minute.

Final whistle goes. Nothing's going for Everton. It's not the loss that hurts, it's the bruised ego.

Score: Everton 0-2 Liverpool
Scorer: Forget about it
Assist: None
Subs: Saha, Yak, Neill

WEST HAM (1) vs (2) EVERTON - FULL TIME

Everton is walking on a tight rope with lynch-pins Pienaar and Arteta still out. Creative flair is thus not in the Toffee's midfield department.

West Ham started the stronger side and they truly played fluently. They totally dominated the first 10 minutes. After that, both team went on a slow cooker mode. Not attacking much, but trying to gain possession in midfield.

In the 26th minute against the run of play, Saha scores! A totally natural scorer. Felli was making a nuisance of himself just outside the penalty area but was cleared by the opposing defender only as far as Timmy. The midfielder rolled the ball towards Saha who stuck the ball so sweetly past the goalkeeper and into the bottom left corner of the goal. West Ham 0-1 Everton. Assist by Timmy.

In the second half, Everton has to survive the dreaded 10 minutes of play that they so often concede goals. Saha is replaced by Yak in the 56th minute. Don't think it's injury, but I guess Moyes is using his personnel sparingly.

What a nonsense of a goal! A great scorcher by young Dan Gosling in the 64th minute. Yak was allowed space to bring the ball into the final third of the field. He protected the ball well and pushed it towards Gosling who scored with a lovely strike. West Ham 0-2 Everton.

West Ham reply was swift. A nice chip in the 64th minute beyond Howard which Hibbo stretched to clear, only to slice it into goal. West Ham 1-2 Everton.

The game is coming alive. Two near chances by West Ham, and Everton continues to live by the skin of their teeth. Gosling is replaced by Neill in the 75th minute. A lovely flying save by Howard from a free kick in the 78th minute.

The final 10 minutes is nerve wrecking! Another 5 minutes of extra time has been added! West Ham is pressing and nearly scored in the 93rd minute.

And the final whistle with Everton earned their hard fought three points with so much of a sigh of relief!

Score: West Ham 1-2 Everton

Scorer: Saha, Gosling

Assist: Timmy, Yak
