Yea he scored the goal that was nice, but other than that he consistantly played out of position and gave the ball away time and time again. He had a very off game. Kelly started strong but seemed to die off a bit at the end. Kuyt had an ok second half but wasn't that great. Didn't see maxi in the first half at all except that missed chance from 3 yards, he was nowhere to be seen today. Skrtel was horrible. I hate to say stop starting Skrtel because my girlfriend loves him but it seems like his time has come. Lucas was alright today. I thought Agger did well in the first half. Reina seems to be misjudging too many things lately. I thought Johnson did decent today, but the way he played always getting the ball to his right foot and doing more offensively than defensively just proves the point he needs to be tried at right mid or nowhere at all. Spearing was alright. Made some little mistakes but worked his @ss off.
Meireles had a fantastic first half, ran alot and worked his socks off. He just got really tired in the second half, hence he started giving the ball away. I was made up when he scored, fantastic finish from him
He has been playing alot of games recently, maybe he just needs a rest?
Really? You think he played a good first half? I honestly thought he was just giving the ball away way too much. Credit to him some of the time he was trying to create runs for Torres, but I still thought he was just not getting done what he needed to.
Maybe I'm just used to getting a lot more from him. Don't get me wrong, I really like him. I think he was a good signing and a good player, and you could be right, he may need a break because he does work his balls off, but he just wasn't doing it for me today. At times he was running like mad and the next second an Everton player would be going past him and he didn't seem to put in much effort to stop him. His passing just seemed quite off.
