Well, my views of the second half hour....
1) We're not seeing, getting or keeping the ball. That's because it's a mixture of Phil Dowd hating Kevin Davies, our ball retention is poor, or Fellaini is mopping absolutely everything up in the middle of the park. Dirty or not, he was immense just then.
2) When Everton try passing the ball in the middle third, we're actually forcing them back well. Muamba's doing a good job of harrying and pressing. Holden's not won as many tackles as he normally does, but I'd say it's more to do with Fellaini than anything.
3) Yes, Everton are attacking much more, and are creating chances, but we're defending pretty well. A couple of occasions of ball watching, but we're cleaning up more than we're spilling. Jussi's had one regulation save to make, CYL has cleared off the line, and bar one Fellaini spoon, nothing else.
We're better in the second half. Here's hoping it continues, attacking wise....

A half of two halves. Blue in our half, acres of green in theirs. Everton playing all the football and ref trying for the most free kicks in one match. Giving them for soft tackles and play-acting from the toffees. Lets hope it's our turn second half. Not our best ttempt by any means. Surface seems a bit slippy. Lovely ball to their box from Holden on the break but no result. COME ON YOU WHITES.
Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos?

Disagree with taking Elmander off, has looked pretty lively.
