When he's got forward he's done pretty well (not helped by Duff, who must think he's still a Chelsea player). Defensively he's been given the run-around by Wright-Phillips for the entire first half.
What did I say? N'Zogbia gets forward and puts in a great cross. Poor defending though.

Disgraceful that we benefit from the worst decision by a linesman in the history of the EPL. I say disgraceful because it has just saved Avram Grant's blushes. Once again, he had no clue what he was doing and for much of the game we were on the backfoot.
Newcastle outplayed us, no question. Kalou spent the entire game offside, SWP went missing at times in the 2nd half. The midfield 3 of Mikel, Essien and Ballack did well, but we were left wide open down the flanks.
Maybe this is a wake up call to Grant. The fans were really getting on his back until the goal. He really has no clue and I for one can't see how or why Roman should give him any money to spend in Jan, when he's likely to be out of a job in July. Get Lippi in in the summer says I.
Anyway, ratings:
Hilario 5; Belletti 5, Alex 6, Ben Haim 5, Bridge 5; Mikel 6, Essien 7, Ballack 7; SWP 6, J Cole 5, Kalou 6.
I haven't seen the offside decision but Kalou would need to be at least 4 yards offside otherwise his shot would have sailed over the bar like it usually does.
It was a neat finish but had he been onside () he wouldn't have been able to finish it. I feel sorry for Big Sam, his team completely outplayed Avram Grants 'fast flowing attacking football' team. Bet you can't wait to watch MOTD now.
According to the BBC we were only in it because Given played a blinder. Confounded!! Re: Premier league discussion 28th/29th December by Glenarch of the Glen Sat Dec 29, 2007 7:06 pm

To be honest the scoreline looks harsh on Everton given their performances.
