SafeHands Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Friedal MOTM. Performance full of character and grit. Can't say we deserved it. But TF its a win and we are into fourth. Now will Kmac take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Even without MON we are still a very good team at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Just what we needed. The players showed that they do in fact have determination. Hats off to all of them. This should be a big confidence booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmeedson Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Great result, showed a bit of character and albrighton gave his all. You just have to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 29, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2010 Should never have won that. Great defensive performance, Collins and Friedel in particular, but I hope we won't have to do that kinda thing too much more often, as I don't think the team, nor the fanbase, could manage that kind of nerves week in week out. The Everton games will be the end of me, thats about 5 on the trot I've been near a coronary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 29, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2010 How the hell did we win that?! It's goals that count though! Epic defensive performance! How we've missed Collins, my MOTM for steadying the ship after some woeful defensive displays. I don't think Cuellar would have got us that goal some how. Monumental effort from everybody, they left everything out there on that pitch. I love Ireland, but had Mac set us up as he was going to with Ireland in there I think we may have lost. Mac needs to learn how to play our players in their best positions if he keeps the job. Fantastic win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Serious Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 What a performance from the back 4, Friedel and Petrov. Petrov gave a real captain's performance today. In fairness to MON, he bought a lot of good defenders last year, and he bought men of character who held out brilliantly. On the other hand (and I know it's not the time to moan - I'm just being realisitic) I actually think that match hurts Kev Mac's candidacy. He was going to play Ireland in the middle again - we would have been hammered. He was unable to change the game to give us a foothold. He didn't remove Carew for a long time despite the fact that he was doing absolutely nothing and we were struggling hugely - Gabby pressured the ball at all times when he came on and it was a huge improvement. I don't know, I think the win was both a) lucky, and down to the players' reaction to the last 2 results, rather than McDonald figuring it out. Last thing though, I did say last week that it's better to win a game 3-0 and lose 6-0 than to draw twice. And now look, 4th in the league!

villianusa Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 MOTM = Ashley Young, closely followed by Friedal. Young pips it for his build up play for the goal and the amount of work he put in for the team. Don't like to knock a player after a win like that but Downing, WTF!!!

Stevo985 Posted August 29, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2010 Great result! They were all over us but they really only created 2 clear cut chances that i can think of. We just defended brilliantly. Oh, and the ref was absolutely appauling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I couldn't care less if tonights performance was MONish, K-Macesque, DOLish or whatever. We've beaten a strong Everton team with a superb defensive effort. Collins MOTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Wins a win when we have had such a dire week. GREAT to see the scrambling defensive combo of Collins and Dunne back today. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Both sides had the same number of attempts and shots on Target it was only possession and corners they beat us on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
