Hi guys, I'm an Evertonian but from a City catchment area and I used to watch City when they played Everton or when Everton weren't playing in the days of Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee. They were a very good side in those days with a wonderful manager in Joe Mercer. I thought yesterday that you played great football in the first half and should really have been 3 or more up and the match over. You could argue all day about what happened but I think that two things were key. One was that Everton rearranged well getting Hibbert off as Silva had destroyed him; the key point though for me was the Rodwell tackle on De Jong and the ensuing handbags. It seemed to fire Everton up and mess City up big time especially Kompany who went to pieces. Excuse us our joy at winning too but we've had a lot of awful spineless performances of late and it was good to see such good spirit yesterday in the end. I won't say who I believe our better players are because we are very vulnerable now to them being bought but Fellaini is the real deal, possibly the best destructive midfielder in the Premiership if he can just steer clear of injury. I rate Lescott as very fine defender and was very sorry to see him go. His partnership with Phil Jagielka was fantastic. Having said that I like Distin too, he's been a colossus for us all season. He makes the odd clangers which inevitably seem to get punished but he's saved us many a week.
Having money to spend alone doesn't guarantee success and a lot of hard work and time is needed to gel players into a good team.
