Come on Everton, our performances against Sunderland and Fiorentina away was poor

Your at home in the uefa cup. Lets pick it up, we need the whole team to be in form. Score chances and watch the counter attack. If not we are gone.

I'll be there tomoz, come on Blues!

Leon Osman remains doubtful for Everton with a groin strain as Everton aim to overturn a 2-0 deficit.

Everton will also check on the fitness of Tim Cahill and Steven Pienaar, who picked up knocks at Sunderland.
James Vaughan (knee), Nuno Valente (thigh) and Manuel Fernandes (knee) are all ruled out through injury but Lee Carsley is back after suspension.

Fiorentina are still without top scorer, former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu, who has a knee injury.


Everton manager David Moyes:
"I have never stopped thinking about possible scenarios since that first-leg game. "I did not sleep after the match but hopefully we can put into practice something that makes us play better against them in this match. "It was a bit strange over there and a bit flat as we did not play as well as we can do. We have done well enough in the Uefa Cup to get to this stage, apart from one game in Italy.
"It means we now have a big task but one that can be overcome."


Everton (from): Howard, Neville, Hibbert, Yobo, Lescott, Jagielka, Baines, Cahill, Arteta, Osman, Pienaar, Gravesen, Yakubu, Johnson, Anichebe, Gosling, Wessels, Rodwell.

Fantastic performance from everyone in a blue shirt last night and from every everton fan that was inside that ground

we showed them what we are about fantastic goal from Arteta to pull us level and we had so many great chances to win in the 120 mins

Typicaly we are crap at pens like most English clubs but i am still pround of the lads

the atmosphere was the best i have ever heard at GP,even my mate who has watched 3 everton games on tv commented on it ( she is now a blue )

oh and the tears have dried now well apart from toothache tears lol

Agreed, Great Performance from all the team & fans.

What a goal from Arteta! All we was lacking was the 3rd goal great save from Howard though denied them a goal and their keeper saved them numerous times.

However how far have we came in the last 5 years, Moyes has done wonders! He's brought in Arteta for Peanuts and grown Vaughan and Anichebe. People like Howard & Neville.

2 Years in Number 5 in a row atm, what a great result, and if we dont get number 4 but still get uefa cup, we should be proud. Although getting CL would be better!

It just wasn't to be, despite a great display from the lads.
