Ian C Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Wow it's a difficult one I think that as a team we were utterly fantastic, but I think it just has to be Jo. Purely for the balls it took to gamble your début on taking that penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I gave it to Jo although all the lads had a great game especially Arteta its his début scored two and got an assist/pen well played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMorrison183 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I can't remember a time we played as fluid as we played today. Jo displayed excellent strength and the ability to hold the ball up. Seemed a very natural fit to the 451. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrbyJFC Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I guess Jo cuz he had to prove himself and showed sum balls takin the penno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sing_blue Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I have to agree no one player sttod out when everyone played well. It was hard to pick so i thought i'd give it to jo for scoring twice on his début and giving himself enough confidence to hopefully find the back of the net regularly.

Guest efctaxi Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Missed the first 20 mins , but thought we did really well today . I always find it difficult to pick someone out when the whole team playes well , but I'm delighted to see the young lads getting on the pitch again . Will also give my Vote today , for one reason . He could easily have let another guy step forward on the penalty , and had he missed it , is début would have destroyed him mentally . That showed strong character , and leadership qualities , which is exactly what we want to see . It also said ' look guys , I'm the fecking goal scorer in this team ... move aside ' Top attitude .

aaron Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I voted baines, thought he was incredible today but fair play to Jo, hopefully he can keep it up and make me eat my words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Do you reckon Jo dived for the first penalty? <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Do you reckon Jo dived for the first penalty? <_< Difficult to tell from that....I'll reserve judgement until MOTD....but it does look suspect . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Churinga2 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Gave it to Jo, had a role in all of our goals, looks like he is the player we needed! Close second for me was baines, just before the 9 other players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Jô. An assist and 2 goals. He held the ball up superbly. Sublime movement off the ball as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest efctaxi Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Do you reckon Jô dived for the first penalty? <_< Absolutely Here is my post in relation to it Missed the first 25 minutes , but finally got a link . Everton look to be playing extremely well . From the 20 minutes I've seen , Jô seems to be getting into decent areas and making a nuicance of himself at least . Thought he might have done a few somersaults on the way to hitting the deck lol Overall looking good , and hope to get another before legs get tired and injuries occur .

Maghull70 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 What a footballing display, excellent stuff. Just about everyone played well, Osman was the only one I was a bit disappointed with, quite a few loose balls. He seemed a bit off the pace. Jô, Baines, Arteta, Cahill (how did he miss that first chance?), Gosling. All were very impressive. One thing that stood out for me was the spirit in the side, the way we worked for each other AND the way evryone was enjoying their football. You could just tell that the players have made Jô feel at home and Jô seemed to be having a ball- I bet he's dreading going back to City at the end of the season (methinks he may submit a transfer request).

dark Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Jô Can't see how anyone else can get it to be honest. He's come from Manchester City, a team where he only played 9 games netting 1 and it would have taken a lot of balls to do some of the stuff he did yesterday, some of his first touches were absolute class. If that is the kind of performance that he can produce on his début then I can't wait to see him in action in a few months time - Legend An assist by going down in the box which may of been a dive but it was some nice skill to get into a 'diving' position Two goals, one from the penalty spot but it took a lot of courage and his first goal was pure class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoGuEAuDiO Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 im gonna give it Jô today an excellent début ,he could have had a a bag full today i must say tho after a long game on Wednesday i thought wed struggle yesterday but that was some performance well done lads !!!!!!!!

MikeO Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Do you reckon Jô dived for the first penalty? <_< He exaggerated it....put a little pike in it I'd say calling on my extensive knowledge picked up from watching the Olympic diving (they're all so :gay: )....but it was a pen .

The Beard Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 On the basis that it was a début and having to get to know, players and systems quickly I thought Jô had a good game, although a few things did not come off but that would be harsh aginst him to complain about. Held the ball up well, won a few headers, scored a fine individual goal and slotted home a pen. Therefore he just gets the vote in front of 4 or 5 other contenders.
