I'm embarrassed by out quality of football. Yeah, we could grind out a point here. But I have to say, such is our 'style', I'm losing the real joy of supporting my team right now.

This. They just play percentage hoof ball. Erm... so do we. The football he's got us playing is abysmal, we can't pass a ball and we create **** all. Sadly, this is absolutely right. Sooner or later, the biggest kept secret in football - that we are the worst passing team in the division - will be unveiled for all to see. And how long have we been hearing this tripe for? Myth, nothing more. Considering we've been playing "shit football" for the last 3 years and will be "found out", Champions League quality sides still have trouble beating us, or even avoiding defeat this season. It's not 'tripe' actually. We get results because we're solid, well-organised and strong at the back. And we're good from set plays. However, my point was that as a passing side, we're atrocious. A question for anyone out there to answer: When was the last time we scored a really, really good goal? Anyone?

conveniently ignoring the fact that we have been absolutely dominated in the middle of the park.

we've not played what I'd call 'well' for god knows how long. Results have, like last season, been a bit of a cover for quite how awful a footballing team we are.

Deserved goal for everton. I'll say it again - if we play football like this, we deserve nothing. If this is all we can offer, it's not much from a footballing perspective.

every time we think about passing on the desk, we have a heart attack.

:?: The fact that we are still going ok and haven't been close to getting a heavy beating in a very long time suggests we are good enough to play 2 in the middle. heoric defending can only last so long. if we don't control more games, we'll start losing.

haven't seen us this poor in a long long time since we last played.

The way we play football right now, we deserve a heavy beating so MON can see sense and realise we're not GOOD enough to play 2 in midfield.

one of these days we're going to get MAULED for playing this way with an empty midfield. seems it will be today

anyone concerned that we have NOTHING in midfield?

getting battered

massive underestimations on here. everton are a tough side at home and we'll do well to get a point. personally, with how we're playing right now, I think we'll get dominated and lose. hope not, but all this 'we should win' is CRAZY. You guys have read the 'injuries' list and forgotten the team they can put out, with the likes of Fellaini, Cahill, Baines, Jo, Saha, etc. And the russian, who is actually really good.

Here comes Malbranque. Always the sort of guy that unlocks us. Always.

CORNER. COME ON !

open game now!

penalty to sunderland. cuellar handball.

Collins and Dunne sound magnificent once again.

we've certainly improved 2nd half. feel that we needed to take that gabby chance, mind.

Sorry to be annoying and add a dose of reality but he's been our best player tonight.

milner to gabby - there was the chance to win it. nearly. gordon great save. that was the game.

my fear is that malbranque and reid have the quality on the deck to change this game. sadly, reo-coker and petrov can't do the same. need ashley to do something here, we really do.

Yes he would rather play a donkey instead who spends 89 minutes on the floor / england international.
