Beckford and Silva on Saha and Osman off.

What do we do if Turner gets an injury?

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 11:55 am

Rodwell plays the ball for Beckford who controls it well, turns, shoots from 25 yards and misses by about 2 yards.

Not a bad first touch on his debut.

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 11:56 am

Melbourne seem to have given up pretty much now.

shot from about 30 yards for them, Turner saves easily.

26 minutes left.

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 11:57 am

Beckford holds the ball up again and wins a free kick.

He looks lively if nothing else.

Jags will put the gloves on.

6 points from two games. Fucking get in there. Will we be top on goal difference by the end? Smashing job by Davie to move to the A-League... drunken

Beckford beats the offside trap, he was clean through, had a shot a bit too early though as the defence were getting back, looks good though.

Long ball from Distin for Anichebe who is offside.

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:00 pm

Half arsed now from both teams.

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:01 pm

Sloppy from Rodwell, chance for Melbourne, easy save for Turner.

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:04 pm

Baxter on for Anichebe
Bily off for Jukiewitz

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:10 pm

Games died a bit of death.

Mustaphi about to come on.

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:13 pm

Silva fouled, free kick on the corner of the area.

Baxter to take.

Poor kick straight to the keeper.

Mustaphi still waiting to come on, probably for Distin

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:15 pm

Chance for Melbourne, good save for Turner, cross came into the box, Jags slipped, striker shot from about 12 yards, good save from Turner,

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:16 pm

Mustaphi on, Distin off.

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:18 pm

4 minutes to go.

Both teams just going through the motions.

fucking saha i'd have been on for a nice little win if he'd nailed that penalty Mad

Michael Crosby S74 Wed 14 Jul 2010, 12:24 pm

Game over, a decent performance all round.

Tonteau Wed 14 Jul 2010, 1:02 pm

How did the new lads and the likes of Seamus look, MC?

Super Wed 14 Jul 2010, 2:20 pm

David Moyes was pleased with Everton's two goals as the Blues defeated Melbourne Heart 2-0. The result was the second victory of the Toffees' tour Down Under, following the 1-0 win over Sydney at the weekend. "I didn't think we played as well as we did against Sydney but we were aware it could be like that because of the travelling," Moyes told evertontv. "I am pleased we won the game and we had some exceptional performers, including Seamus Coleman and Phil Jagielka especially."

The Heart, a newly formed A-League team about to embark on their first season, weren't as threatining as their Sydney counterparts. "They had a couple of chances but we were, in the main, relatively comfortable," Moyes continued. "I was looking for us to control the game better at times but we did okay. "We wanted to give people opportunities and a few of them got that."

Both of Everton's goals we expertly created in their own way. The interplay that lead to Jack Rodwell's opener was matched by the clinical nature of Louis Saha's second goal. "The first goal was a great goal," agreed Moyes. "It was a great finish and good play by Seamus who also made the penalty. "It was a good goal by Louis too and he needed that after the penalty."

Just watched the OS highlights.
The Rodwell goal, the peno, and at least two other chances came from exactly the same move. Vic sliding a left footed ball inside the fullback for an overlapping Coleman. Very nice combination, and Vic set up Saha once as well, same move on the other side of the area.

Who'da thunk it? Vic as the new Arteta!

RhinoJagz Wed 14 Jul 2010, 2:28 pm

Just saw the goals there on SSN. Both lovely goals especially Saha's curler into top corner.

Kit watch:
Despite all the 'interest' over our pink kit, there was a lovely unfussy traditional feel to the new home kit. Tidy blue top with crisp white shorts with minimal trims. Looks our best home kit for quite a few years.

Its amazing the perseverance Moyes has shown with Victor. Maybe he is finally is going to deliver?
