16: Jermaine Beckford - Fox in the Box

Great finish from him today. He seems to make more of an impact from the bench at the moment but is going the right way to get a starting position.

I agree Dixie... he is a good impact sub... so lively he destroys tired defenders in the last 10 minutes... he's getting his chances on target now & that's the difference... give him time before we start him... injury will happen sooner or later to Louis (unfortunately) and hopefully he'll be ready for it then

His goals to game time along side Saha cant be too shabby now?

I still think he will get 10 league goals this season.

Have to say his finish was quality

I always thought people had been harsh on him, dont forget when he first started playing for us in August as a team we playing shit and the system we played with him up front alone was alien to him....his confidence must have been crushed a bit, also its always hard coming on for ten mines at the end og games and try and get us points.

some of the goals he has scored like the Bolton and Liverpool one and the one yesterday shows me he has got something. I still have high hopes for him but maybe next season will be when we start seeing him peform better

I don't get these strange claims that noone celebrates with him. It is clear to see the players celebrating in replays.

Based on what I have seen in previous games, he's been by himself after scoring a goal. Maybe the cameras just missed the other players running up to him.

Goal 6: v Blackpool


Difficult to tell in the Chelsea, Scunthorpe, and Liverpool from the videos, but I can't imagine noone celebrating with a player at Everton football club.

Well done JB.. could have had more as well.. energetic & clever running.. I can see a blue future for you my boy

Couple of scrappy finishes yesterday, but who cares.

But Beckford was 'Johnny on the spot' for both.

You saw the problem when he properly connects with the ball, though: Smashes it straight over the crossbar. Maybe scuffing the ball should be his tactic from now on.

20-25 scuffs a season will do for me

maybe he's that good his scuffs are intentional to confuse the goalkeeper?

Perhaps his winner against Blackpool was a double scuff, in that he meant to scuff it, but got it wrong and so it looked like a clean contact.







My head hurts.

Do you mean it was a bluff scuff and that he pretended to scuff it but hit it perfectly instead? And that his second goal was a double bluff scuff, where he looked like he was going to hit it cleanly but scuffed it instead, the first goal was obviously a bluff double scuff where he used bramble for the second scuff, worth three points in billiards that shot

Going to get the No 9 shirt next season
