Birmingham City v Everton Brief Post Match Thoughts

Mar 13th, 2010 | By | Category: Blues News, Kev's Ramblings, Match reports, Matches

2-0 down with Everton destroying us, the sleeves are rolled up and the battle commences. A deft Jerome flick pulls it back to 2-1 and early in the second half during sustained pressure – Gardner scores his first goal for the club and a beauty it was too.

I thought this was a really good game of football. At the end of the day, probably the right result although both sides had chances to win it. Actually to be fair to Everton, they could have been out of site if Hart hadn’t pulled off a number of very good saves.

We seemed to be asleep for the 1st 20 minutes, however made up for it in the 2nd half with some excellent approach play.

Barry Ferguson was superb today and my man of the match by a long way – despite Jerome being awarded it by some people.

This result should be seen as a positive, we came back from 2-0 down against a VERY good Everton side, and the fact we COULD have pinched it, shows the character we have in the side.

Well played Blues, actually well played both Blues. An entertaining game of football.

    yep – great game – british football at its best. Ferguson never stops- he’s 100% – doesn’t waste space or passes – Jerome battled for everything today – winning headers !! I’ve got a few of the old Sports Argus going back to the 50s and 60s – and it’s amazing how often our success is down to our ‘battling’ ‘never say die’ qualities ! Big Eck understands this – but also knows how to mix a relentless fighting spirit with great football – he recruits leaders who take responsibility. He’s definitely the right man for the job. Shankly turned Liverpool from a Division 2 side into world beaters – I’d back Big Eck to do the same for Blues. Keep right on.

    Great fightback and deserved result BUT we need to be better at the start of the game and not leave it to spirited fightbacks. If Everton had managed to get a third before we got one back, there would have been no comeback

    A great fight back.

    Our performance reminds me of the Everton side of 2 or 3 seasons ago. We won’t go too far wrong using their model of building the playing side.
