Correct, Super Jan scored both of our goals in a 3-2 defeat at Anfield in March 2013, which was won via a Gerrard penalty courtesy of Suarez auditioning for Swan Lake.
Due to a request by our sponsor and owner of RCL-TV, we are back ladies and gents for another episode of DH's AwayDays. This week we take a trip to the blue half of the Mersey and visit GrandOldTeam for a little chin wag with the Evertonians. PRE-MATCH: No doubt Richi showing us exactly what we're missing. You don't have to miss him for much longer with January not too far away... Pivotal game. We'll either be looking up or looking down after it. Insightful. Van de Ven is a very handy CB, imo, and he's quick too. Ohh he's gonna be very handy today I reckon, bud. City are better than us. Spurs are not. We can win this. You sure about that? Richarlison to score. Put your fkin life savings on it. No, don't. Seriously don't. Ever. Person 1 - Keep Kudus and Palhinha quiet and we might still have a chance though. Person 2 (RE Palhinha) - You don’t really keep him quiet - he keeps you quiet. This is like one of those action movie tag lines "they thought they could kill him, they thought wrong!" My lad and grandson will be there. Good stuff, get the young'un used to misery early doors. Just keep our unblemished record at BMD please. Change is neccessary. FIRST HALF: Don’t know how much longer I can watch Beto try to be a footballer. Ohh we're also fully experienced in witnessing raffle winners play for our club. He could be one of the worst strikers I’ve ever seen in our shirt. Break the bank for your former hero to save the day. *1-0 van de Ven* That stat was a flaming jinx Just knew they were scoring the moment that stat came up. Commentators curse. Only team not to concede form a set piece and then there it is. It's nice to be on the right side of a curse for a change. Why are we showing these the respect we are. Ermmm, because we're the ****ing Europa League champions, mate. Can we sign a CF who isn’t playing in clown shoes for a change? We know a guy... We have a guy! You also know the guy! *O'Brien disallowed goal* That is not a foul Can't disalow that surely Rule that out, I'm finished Football gone if this is ruled out. Gone. Oh these lot cry over everything. Ohhhhh the irony. *2-0 van de Ven* Oh **** off. Cracking delivery if we scored that, we would have a VAR check Clear foul. We won't get it Game over. Pgmol will be made up. So they can push the keeper? Great Oh FFS, well done Pawson, you got what you wanted. Waaaahhhhh, waaaaaahhhh. Playing a Thomas Frank side and no work done on set pieces. Shocking. Amateurish from Moyesehh. How are we losing 2-0? Micky van de Ven scored two headers. Took Van de Ven out of my fantasy team this week. Just saying. Some cracking RCLing there. SECOND HALF: *Vicario's save vs Beto* Koff Vicario Beto bycicle kick, Vicario saves, damn. World class save. Jeez that's a fantastic save. How does he save that. Channelled his inner Buffon, mate. *Vicario's save vs Ndiaye* Ffs their keeper's having a worldy He had a blinder for Spurs in midweek too, made several outstanding saves. Spurs keeper is having a blinder. He really is. *3-0 Sarr* No words Garbage Richi header onto Sarr Night all Night, mate. How tf have we not got anything from this game. In short; we scored, you didn't. This is a 0-0 game in most respects. Yeah forget about our goals and it's definitely 0-0. Its why Frank got the Spurs job. And not someone like Moyes. Choo Choo motherfuckers, all aboard Thomas The Frank Engine. I preferred last season's game I didn't. Booooooooo...... Ahhhh there it is. POST-MATCH: The singing of the away fans absolutely drowning us out. Go on the boys. My hatred for spurs is only surpassed by my hatred for the RS. Love it. Disallowing the equaliser but ok'ing their second was double standards. So many have said this, they don't seem to realise their one was ruled out for offside. 3-0 is a ridiculous scoreline for a game we deserved to win. This is more delusional than me thinking I have a chance with Sydney Sweeney. Difficult to pick a motm for us there. probably abstain. Ndiaye was tearing us a new one at times, if you couldn't appreciate that, we'll take him off your hands in January. You can rearrange the deck chairs in the Titanic, but the problems are more fundamental. Bit late to be doing that I reckon, mate. Person 1 - I think we missed the boat by not getting Thomas Frank in over the summer. Person 2 - Aye, he would have turned down the Spurs job to come to Everton! What a player that Micky van de Ven is for them. What a player indeed. Other than Spurs scoring three goals compared to our zero it was an even game. Same with Arsenal, other than them having double our points tally we are joint top with them. Frank did a number on Moyes. please log in to view this image
One goal one assist that night. Correct - in the FA Cup fifth round (2021), also against Everton, 4-5 aet. Super Jan was the last to do it in a league game. Apparently our CBs have a thing about scoring braces against clubs from the Mersey.
David Moyes with a very reasonable post-match interview: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/cp8emle3l4po
Very refreshing to hear a coach in this era actually playing it straight. Wouldn't disagree with a word he said.
