Very frustrating, we should have been 4 up before letting you back into the game.
The only plus is that Pulis might have watched the game and decided to go for all out long balls. Stoke are a much better side when they mix up.
You probably should've been, Viera should definately have scored in the first half and so should Yaya in the second but once we got level I thought we stepped our game up again and you went right off. You played very well first half, dominated the game, the passing and movement was superb. Movement off the ball was particularly in impressive. At the end of the day you didn't take your chances and we did.
Should be a good final next week mate, I was impressed with Stoke today and if they can get Etherington fit he and Pennent will be difficult to deal with. Still a very physical side too, Kompany v Jones would be a good match up.

Nothing to do with Everton's tactics or improvement, simply our lack of intelligence. Everton fans were even booing in the first half as we dominated them to such an extent.
Of course it was to do with our improved, to say it wasn't is just daft. We improved so much in the second half and once we got level our game lifted again, we got at you especially the back four. The fans where booing Lescott in the first half and you know it, nothing to do with the performance.
