September Update ........
League Sunderland v Everton 1-1 Cahill
So the season got off to a decent start and i was pleased with how well we moved the ball our passing was inch perfect and Cahill scoring a great goal from the edge of the box on the volley , on the negative side we missed a few good chances but overall a decent result away from home.
Euro cup qualifier 1st leg Everton v EN Avant De Guingamp 1-0 osman
This was the qualifier for the groupstage a decent result with osman getting on the scoresheet but it set up a nervy second leg , again we dominated posession just failed to convert good chances , I gave the promising Jack Rodwell a start in this game as well and I was particularlly impressed with him he pulled all the strings in midfield , certainly one for the future.
League Chelsea v Everton 1-0
Well not many teams go to Stamford Bridge and come away with anything and we didnt ..... but we tried our best and fought untill the final wistle , Didier Drogba grabbed himself a goal in the 40th minute to break toffes hearts , now to the performance we defended well but chelsea's attacking brilliance just proved too much for us.
Euro cup 2nd leg EN Avant De Guingamp v Everton 1-2 Yakubu Shawcross
An overall good performance despite the sloppy goal we conceeded early on in the fifth minute , Yakubu scored to equalize and Shawcross headed home to win us the game his first goal for the club , I was happy with the tackling and mature play we displayed we did what we had to do.
League Everton v Tottenham 1-0 Shawcross
One of our rivals for the european places so i wanted us to show a signal of intent and we did , it was a close game end to end stuff we had to defend with our lives at times , but i am delighted that we managed to grind out the victory with another goal from Shawcross thats now 2 in 2 for him he has proved a great signing thus far ....
League Everton v Wolves 0-0
A poor game really very scrappy wolves battled hard and we didnt simple as that I will be expecting better performances throughout the season theres not really much more to say about this game as it was really boring ......
League Everton v Portsmouth 2-0 Yakubu Jagielka
Well I wanted a response from the wolves game and we got one the scoreline could of been much more , we dominated posession played free-flowing football and really pummeled their defense, another great game from Rodwell getting a great assist for Yakubu with an inch perfect pass this boy is really something Jagielka rounded of the scoring with a header from a set piece taken from none other than Mikel Arteta , very happy with the performance and the scoreline.
Euro Cup group stage Fenerbache v Everton 0-0
Well Fenerbache provided tougher opposition than I first thought they was really good on the ball just lacked a cutting edge like ourselves we was good on the ball it was just one of them nights that lady luck just wasnt on our side and I hope we can make ammends with our future performances in the Euro Cup.
League cup 3rd round Charlton v Everton 0-2 Saha (2)
A decent performance from the lads overall im pleased with the result because this is a competition i expect to be doing well in a good game we dominated from start to end and a good outing for our youngsters.
League Everton v Blackburn 2-2 Yakubu (2)
This was a hard fought point Blackburn were really good on the ball and defensivley , we went 1 nill up through a Yakubu goal but then Bret Emerton equalized and then disaster struck when croation striker Nicola Kalinic put the Rovers 2-1 up but Yakubu finished off his brace with a strike on the stroke of half time.
player of the month = Ryan Shawcross A great performance from him he has been a great signing so far been a rock at the back alongside Jagielka also chipping in with the odd goal what more can i ask.
