David Moyes has finally made Everton into a better team than Man Utd :wink:

Newcastle looked awful in first half against Everton , strong come back after half time. In the first time looked like a bunch of journeyman thrown together and played with no passion.

Ross Barkley looks a promising player and seems to be thriving under Martinez.

Looks like Lukaku will score a bag of goals again this season.. He's going to be a world class player in a couple of years.

How Mourinho let him go on loan again is crazy.

First half was bloody hard to watch.

The introduction of Cabaye changed the team. We have no depth and it shows as soon as a few players don't start.

Mabiwa is not ready, his positional play is terrible its hard to say it but id prefer Williamson atm.

Butter is the second half and we atleast made Everton work for it, Lakaku is all class.

Paipss Cisse
he scores when he wants.

nothing like a good 'don't argue'.... cabaye is a bit of a jockey though, small bloke.

lukaku is brilliant though - deserves better than to be farmed out on loan year after year.

Lukaku is a brilliant player but at 20 has been told his attitude must change and he will be in Chelseas future plans. He will become if not already a very good powerful forward(To think if we saved the cash we spent on Altidore and got him instead).

It's important for him to ply his trade away from chelsea for the next 12 months because he will be at the forefront of Chelseas attack for quite a while. His best years are to come and Mourinho would know this, so what does he do...... "Go to Everton and score many goals against other clubs".

Brilliant managing

Yet Jose choose to keep Ba once he heard of the Ozil signing & sent Lakaku out instead. With the signing of Eto I beleive he has made the wrong call, he should of kept the beast & let Eto freeze it out in Russia. Proven BPL scorer & Eto looks past it

If Liverpool start playing 90 mins they're gonna be tough to beat. 2nd halves have been disappointing for just about every game. Important to dominate from start to end if they wanna remain top 4....or better

It was Palace, don't go overboard.

Exactly, and they were lucky not to have at least 3.

Top* after 7 games without 1 decent 90min peformance, I'd take that.

If they can start playing decent for 90 mins each week they'll do well this season. Their best is very good. Suarez and Sturridge looking very dangerous together

:lol: Nah, AVB got out-coached by Big Sam tbh. They set up to frustrate and try to score from set pieces and quick breaks, and it worked perfectly. As United have found, teams will do that to you and it's up to you to work out how to break them down.

I think AVB's still looking for the right combinations and style of play. I said a couple of weeks ago that we weren't that good defensively and had ridden our luck, and sadly that was proved to be true. Paulinho and Dembele are more 'engine room' CMs than DMs, and I think he was wrong to drop Soldado for Defoe. When you have so many changes to personnel, some poor performances are to be expected.

AVB is a poor coach and he's lost his plan A, B & C, so expect more of the same :D

Our back three is perfect for the players we have available to us. Add Coutinho & Johnson to our team and it'll only get better.

I don't think he's been there long enough to judge him as a poor coach and, in any event, there's plenty of specialist coaches at WHL, same as Fergie had at OT. Unfortunately, today's society is all about immediate gratification and too many coaches get the bullet before they've settled in. I don't think that will happen at Spurs.
