I think from the outset most of us would have settled for a point, and at half time I was really worried. What a comeback! I think credit also needs to go to Hughton for making the right changes. Hoolahan couldn't get into the game when he was out wide, so Pilks was definitely worth bringing on, and he looked better than he has in previous games. As the Sky commentator put it, Kamara was unpredictable, and was an unknown quantity to Everton, his movement in the box, and the power on that header was exceptional. Yet again it seems our scouts have found a gem. Over the moon right now. We're now unbeaten in 4, and the football on show today was much better than in previous weeks, even at 0-0 it was a good game. If you'd offered me 6 points from games against Spurs, QPR, Fulham and Everton, even during our unbeaten run, I'd have taken that, never mind coming off our recent results/performances. The gap to the bottom 3 is up to 8 points too.
What a result! Kai Kamara is going to get the headlines, but for me Bassong was immense today. His battle with Fellaini was one of the highlights of the game - and no doubt in my mind who won that battle. Old Trafford is going to be a whole lot different next week. OTBC
Definitely agree about Bassong. I think a draw would have been fair, but I don't really recall Bunn making a single save and that was mostly. Down to Turner and Bassong. Bassong, for the assist, the leadership throughout the match and the calmness on the ball was my MOTM. Kamara looks a gem. A real live wire. What he lacks in refined technique, he makes up for in unpredictability. He really lifted the crowd, I think. Dare I say it... I'm actually quite positive about Manu next week! They'll throw everything at Real, we're coming into good form and are difficult to beat. I see us nicking a draw
Well that was exhilarating! I forgot how it felt to win in such circumstances. That should give us a much needed confidence boost.
I saw a few who did! What confused me though was plenty of people left after 35 minutes in the first half. I can understand after 42 minutes but it's still annoying.
How ironic - three years ago today, we grabbed the winning goal in a 2 - 1 result deep into added time! We need to ensure a fixture on Feb 23rd every year http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/8496995.stm
