Everton sat back a lot in the second half, we weren't amazing by any chalk... one wondergoal by cabaye and a scrappy effort with perseverance by remy. Remy looked far more effective coming in from the side tbh. Wow! Williamson was top! What a difference when somebody challenges for the ball... Shows just how bad MYM was. colo upped his game aswell and put in a shift. Santon was crap again in the second half, should have been subbed for Dummet

Don't know what you have seen from Anita? All I can see is a panicky little school boy out of his depth... Every pass is sideways or backwards, he is scared to advance even 5 yards when there are huge spaces in front of him... yyyuuurgh!

Coloccini where R U? Santon, do you know what defend means? Anita where is your heart? the ball IS NOT A HOT POTATO! Mapou can you at least look like you are trying... Front three, do you think it possible we could pressurize the ball coming out I suppose you will have something to say Alan.... Cabaye for Anita Gouff in Middle Remi wide Dummet on

barry as the defensive sweeper in midfield, the rest as very attacking midfielders with Lukaku as the sole point of reference up top... Difficult game. P.S. That defense looks solid!

Great decision by Pardew! Everyone on here completely deluded, Cisse has been very very very very poor of late and you just cannot keep playing him... Think about how other players will think or react if he onstinately kept playing him every game... Tiote must have impressed in training, can see why he might want some more steel in the middle to stop the everton attacking midifielders. Like it! Hope it works out...

Would deffo go with Gouffran (or Remy) up front instead of Cisse, we can't just blindly keep faith in him that he'll "come round", we are losing chance after chance, his touch/hold up play is atrocious and he is adding nothing at all to our play at the moment. I would like to see anita stay in the middle and let Tiote come on after 60 or so when we are in front . Team would be: -----------------------Krul-------------------------- Debuchy-----MYM-------Colo-------------Santon -------Cabaye-------Anita------Sissoko-------- --Hatem-----------Gouffran----------Remy

From Berwick, so the closest "big" team is Newcastle (can't go north as we ARE English - Rest of you= Suthen Puffs), lived in Newcastle from 16 to 18 and that's when I really started to support.. :'(

stoke at home would be easy peezy... Otherwize Chelsea away, that way I get to see a free game and free nosh with the bigwigs :kasper:

Yep, he fluffed about ten chances before the golden plated, diamond crusted, platinum lined chance came his way...

MOTM easily...

very impressed with his first half, seems to have matured into a professional footballer. right decisions and good consistent play, movement and passing... Keep it up!!!

Liked the "Look" and Dingle bits... great craic!

Tottenham away could be down to the fact Bale was unplayable at the time... Agree on Liverpool tho'

P.S. Still feel at times that Anita gets knocked off the ball too easily and should contest a little bit "harder" (old school in me coming out)

It's been mentioned above but I think that with players around him now actually moving into space and taking up "positive" positions he shouldn't have problems distributing the ball quickly. I wouldn't swap him for anita though until we are two goals up and need that defensive "force" in the middle, I prefer Anita's rythym and consistency of good passing. I do feel for Tiote and some of his performances last year as I can remember me getting irate at the lack of movement around him and people "hiding".(can remember shouting at telly for other to pull their fingers out and offer him a pass option) really exacerbated his downfall. Hope he comes good and competes for that middle berth tbh... can only make us better for it!

I honestly think that his levels dropped because of the San lorenzo thing and a couple of niggly injuries, could say exactly the same about Cabaye... Even at 90% Colo is way better than anything we are used to seeing at centre back

Joek will make an appearance around end of November, talk up a few possible positions he is trying to find players for, divert all the flak from Fat boy and dissappear again at the end of Jan... All according to plan!

He has to be in front of the ball to be offside, clearly not if you look at the grass cutting lines... Think people are getting confused with the two players being "in line" or not, when in reality it is the ball and the "offside" player in question. Not even worth the three pages or so of twaddle

Rip / Arse / Let's / A new / Hole / Them :iamatwat:

01 McGregor 03 Figueroa 05 Chester 06 Davies 27 Elmohamady 08 Huddlestone 10 Koren 11 Brady 14 Livermore 09 Graham 24 Aluko Their midfield looks decent tbf, not very creative but solid and consistent. I think Danny graham is an intelligent striker but I think Colo and MYM are superior to him...

Yes, very clearly was a 433, anita sitting and sissoko and cabaye box to box, ben arfa and remy relatively wide with cisse leading the line. Thought Pardew got it all right yesterday and long may it continue. I don't mind losing a game if we went out positively trying to win it and played a team that had a chance of doing so. Was a bit worried with the sammy substituition but it worked out quite well...

If Pardew does start with Anita and finishes with Tiote it's a clear sign that he is going out to win games early on and then hold out the win. I would love this to continue!! Don't want Tiote on from the start as watching Anita drop back for the pass from defense and then push the ball into decent position was nice to see. though he complimented both sissoko and cabaye in box to box roles very nicely.

If he doesn't score at Hull then he needs dropped. it's got to the stage where he seems undroppable and somebody like Gouff could take up the mantle and offer a lot more. Would like to see Remy as the front man at some point with Gouff and Hatem either side. P.S. Would love him to start hitting them in from all angles but it just seems so far away at the moment. Some of his offsides are ridiculous and the way he is getting shoved off the ball seems too easy...

Not a chance. Sorry ronaldo, but I have never seen teams set up to negate an opposite team more than fat sam's, he isn't capable of anything else. If I had to pick between pards and him i would be reduced to suicide... Pards would probably get the shout just cos he signs better players (or does he--alan)

Pardew has grown a huge set of bollocks! I like it for once... all out attack... go on lad... don't care if we lose, the philosophy is right for once; lets get on the front foot and make them worry about us P.S. UNLESS... he puts Cisse on the wing. then let's all go mentalª!
