Marounne Fellaini - sorchio or not schorchio?

my thoughts today turn to a man who , like so many of our players at the moment, divides opinion amongst the fan base. or to put it bluntly some people think he's mint and others think he's gash! the one and only Mau Mau 'Big Fella' Fellaini.

i have to agree that the man is frustrating at times and almost like one of those luxury players that you have in your team when you're miles better than everyone else and winning everything in sight (just like us then ha ha!) i will come out though and confess that I like him and think he is a good player - maybe not as good as some think but still someone to hold onto and play every week. for one he can actually control and pass the ball to another everton player on the deck which makes him better than 50% of the others (taxi for Jags). and he does have skill - remember that move on Bellamy against City when he just nailed him?! i think the things that goes against him is that he is one of those players that just looks untidy and cumbersome due to his height. and the hair don't help - for crying out loud lad , get it cut!!

don't make me go the barbers i'll do anything

Everton 0 - Man Utd 1

what a strange game this was in many ways. because basically we were pretty much the better side and had the majority of possession for a lot of the game. so why did we lose in the end? our trouble is the same as last year - we have no penetration in the final third and no goalscorer there banging them in week in , week out.

look at how they won - just a move of quality with a genuine goal scorer on the end to finish it off. i know there are other areas of the team that need work (right winger, right back) but i really think at least one top class striker is needed next time any money is going round

Royston Drenthe - Real Madrids loss

just wanted to post quickly re one of our latest acquisitions, Ricky Royston Drenthe. what a player this lad looks - pace, skill and a directness that we haven't seen at Goodison since Mustard burst onto the scene the other year. just hope he keeps it up and improves cos he offers us a creativity and a talent that we are lacking at the moment particularly in wide areas.

only trouble is - if he does too well he'll probably be pinched by city or someone in the summer!!

Chelsea cup game

what a shame we lost this one cos they didn't field a particularly strong team and reckon we could have beaten them with a bit more quality. i guess the sending off didn't help mattes for Royston - seemed a bit harsh as i think the second yellow looked worse than it was. although when you go in like that you're always in trouble if you don't get it right. looks like we're gonna be concentrating on the league again this year ha ha!

on the bright side Bily played well and showed his promise - i think most agree now that tim should be dropped and Bily put in his place in that supporting role behind the front man. Bily has a foot like a jackhammer - he would easily get 10 goals a season if played regular

Fulham 1 - Everton 3

Come on!

What a great win this was - specially with it being darn sarf where we never do that well to be honest :-)

i think the very early stunner from royston really settled us down and almost sealed it for us from the start. they did come back into it well and there goal was equally as good - question mark over Hibbo letting him have the space to do it though and maybe Tim for getting done from there?

great couple of goals to wrap it up though - can you believe Zamoras miss though ha ha?! OMG that was one of the worst ones ever the big donkey. really good
                                                                                finish from King Louis though for our second - have 
                                                                                 to say though he needs to keep scoring cos he does
                                                                                nothing else in the game at present!! nice to see Jack
                                                                                scoring too - a rare treat :-)
