3 - 1 to the good


i guess u guys would probably know that i will be writing this down on my blog today..
everton beats 40mill pound firepower spurs comprehensively...yesterday night...to tell u the truth, i was really nervous watching this game..having known the fact that everton always struggle to get something from a london team, especially spurs.. last year, we did beat them at white hard lane after exactly 21 years on winless efforts in the premier league, but this time we did it again, in style some more :P
3 - 1 is an outstanding scoreline, i must say..and moyes must have learned from the "spursgate" last season with his pathetic substitution...this time, he got it right!
summarizing the game yesterday, here's my rating on the boys in the royal blue
Howard - had no chance for their goal, and did what he needed to when called upon, including a superb stop against Defoe. 7 out of 10.
Hibbert - not great going forward as usual, but solid defensively. 7 out of 10.
Yobo - Outstanding as usual, save for one cock-up with Hibbert in the first half. The old Yobo (think back to the first game of the season against Man Utd a couple of seasons back) seems to be gone forever. 8 out of 10.
Stubbs - looked like he was going to torn apart by Bent early on, but settled well and of course weighed in with a goal. 7 out of 10.
Lescott - should be in the England starting XI. This man is the most consistent defender we have had for years. Oh, and he's being played out of position too. 9 out of 10
Osman - man of the match. He may be lightweight, but there is no-one more committed to the cause in a blue shirt. 9 out of 10.
Neville - did the job required, and even managed a few decent passes. Lead the team well. 7 out of 10.
Carsley - ran his heart out and blocked Spurs' path again and again. 7 out of 10.
Arteta - an increasingly good measure of how good a player is in the Premiership is how often opposition players resort to fouls. Mikky must be fouled more often than Ronaldo (the difference being that Mikky isnt a diving, snivelling little shit). Pure class. 9 out of 10.
Anichebe - held the ball up well and wore their defenders down. Was clearly knackered towards the end, but not through lack of fitness - he simply ran and ran and ran. 8 out of 10.
Johnson - had couple of chances that you would normally expect him to take, but is showing signs of recapturing his form from early last season. I anticipate an AJ brace against a lesser keeper on Saturday. 7 out of 10.
