Any of you catch this match? What a great effort by Everton! Coming back twice after trailing by 2 goals to finish with a 4-4 draw. Fellaini did awfully well, scoring a top-notch goal and providing a beautiful assist to Pienaar. And I love the hustle and effort Marouane has been showing on the field these last few months. It's good to see his hard work paying off. Man, it's nice to have a player like Jelavic who, at least for now, we can count on to put the ball the net. Of course, Yakubu and Saha enjoyed similar scoring streaks for us, but both faltered after awhile. Yakubu due to his iffy attitude, and Saha due to bad luck/karma/mojo. Here's hoping Jelavic proves to be more consistent long-term than either of those two.
I did get to see it - wow! Have to admit I had lost heart for a bit in the second half after going down - luckily there was enough time and enough fight in the Blues to pull off the draw. Fella looked great, Tim H actually played well, even though he let in four. Due to my constant worries about lack of funds, wondering who will make a pitch for Jelavic this summer and how much they'll offer....
Jelavic is been a revelation since we got him. Goes to show how poor the striking group has been the past few years
Agreed on that - it is nice to see his quality - which (in my best paranoid state) makes me wonder which clubs want to come in and steal him this summer!
I can understand that but I am more worried that he is just going to be a flash in the pan striker. We see it so often in the EPL where a guy goes on a tear for 6 months then we never hear from them again.
Well, ideally - if he is going to be a flash in the pan, then let someone come buy him this summer while he's hot! If he's going to be the real deal, then the Blues may need to fight a bit to keep him. That is what I would certainly prefer. Of course, accurately foreseeing either of these possibilities does require a bit more fortune-telling skill than I currently possess.
Jelavic is hot right now but i believe he will be a double digit goal scorer in the epl in the future..He is good with back to goal a descent first touch but the main thing is that he can finish..Moyes said Jelavic reminds him of Suker which is a bit of a stretch..Jelavic does look calm cool and collected when he gets a goal scoring chance though..He doesn't just blast the ball and hope it goes in..I hope Jelavic can take this form into Euro 2012.. I saw Jelavic play when he was in Croatia and i never thought he would develop into anything..Im glad he has proven me wrong..
