Everton 5-3 Blackpool
What a pulsating game. Leading a goal, Everton then trailed by a goal. From there, Everton scored three goals and Saha played a chief role in making sure Everton picked up three points.
Moyes spoke out about not being able to do any business in January. That is totally worrying as there are players who will be out of contract soon and for the fact that Everton has no money to buy, these players may just leave as well. Everton is also short of strikers, thus seeing Moyes play 4-5-1.
Two free kicks in six minutes, both smacked the wall. In the 9th minute, Bainesy stole a low cross into the penalty area only for Bily to over-shimmy and the chance was gone! The ball reached Heitinga who first time shot hardly troubled the goalkeeper.
Third freekick in the 16th minute, plumped into the wall again.
Lovely set-up goal, lovely strike. Pass by Rodwell in the 19th minute, Bily faked two defenders, and the man of the season for Everton, Saha scored! That's what a class striker is all about. Everton 1-0 Blackpool. Assist: Bily.
Rodwell had a great chance. He ghost past a defender, lobbed it past another and he was free in the six yard box. But nerves got the better of him and he missed the shot totally.
Blackpool scored. Fluke goal! When will Everton ever keep a clean sheet? Everton 1-1 Blackpool.
Everton had scored but the referee pulled play back for an earlier foul. What nonsense!!! The referee has played the main role in this game! Too much a part he has played.
Start of 2nd half. And now, Saha scores in the 46th minute. Finally! Good splitting pass by Rodwell. Lovely low cross by Bainesy, and Saha tucked in the ball without missing a step. Everton 2-1 Blackpool. Assist: Bainesy. Saha has been winning all the headers!
Everton needed to score the third goal and Rodwell so nearly scored in the 59th minute! Just can't find that target! A big big mistake by Heitinga. He was not even convincing in the clearance! Everton 2-2 Blackpool.
Felli strikes in the 63rd minute but cleared off the goal line! Counter attack by Blackpool and Everton is behind! What is happening? Everton 2-3 Blackpool.
Everton's defence have totally collapsed!
Off the line once again! Rodwell's ball was well on the way but cleared by a diving defender!
Timmy and Becks are on for Bily and Rodwell respectively.
Saha scores his very first hat trick for Everton in the 76th minute! A cross by Arteta, and no one was marking Saha. Everton 3-3 Blackpool.
Everton takes the lead in the 79th minute!!!!!!! A lovely pass from Bainesy on the left for Becks to tap the ball into the net. Everton leads! Everton 4-3 Blackpool. Assist: Bainesy.
What a roller coaster of a game!
Saha scores again!!!!! Running all the way from midfield, he sprinted past the entire defence to tuck in a wondeful goal. A great through pass from Felli! Everton 5-3 Blackpool. Assist: Felli.
Final substitution in the 86th minute - Jag for Saha.
Convincing win. But defensively, Everton really need to pick up a notch or two.
Score: Everton 5-3 Blackpool
Scorers: Saha (4), Becks (1)
Assists: Bily, Bainesy (2), Felli
