    Missed the game

    I was in the middle of a frickin field without internet during the game. Iīve just read the match thread and I gathered:
    - we started well
    - great goal from Miggy
    - Joelinton had to come off cos was on a yellow and not playing well
    - However, once he came off our midfield deteriorated letting them back in the game (despite not creating any threats)
    - They pressed at the end and we hung on

    Is that an accurate reflection of the game?

    Wouldn't really say they pressed as such. They had possession though never did anything of note with it - 1 attempt all game and that was not on target.
    The nerves on our part were more due to what we have done in the past, giving away late goals and losing leads than anything that Everton were doing on the pitch. The best that could be said of Everton is that they didn't allow us to get into any sort of flow in the 2nd half (nor for much of the 1st half for that matter) and won a lot of throw ins allowing them to keep possession.
    All in all, it was a poor game but at least we created some chances and managed to put one in with a great strike from Miggy

    Cheers man. Sounds like we nullified them even if we didnīt set the world on fire ourselves. Apparently Man U battered Spurs at OT this evening and were unlucky to score only two. Bodes well for us in what will be a very tough game on Sunday.
