Everton goes through the paces against Tottenham
By: 21 | May 9th, 2009With Aston Villa dropping 3-1 to Fulham, Everton missed a chance to climb to fifth in the table with a quiet scoreless draw against Tottenham. Although with much of the season already decided for the Toffees given a Europa League spot has already been earned and the FA Cup final still three weeks off, David Moyes is without question tinkering with his lineup in the last three weeks as they are purely playing for pride at this stage.
Using Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell in the starting eleven, with both Lars Jacobsen and Leon Osman relegated to the bench, Everton lacked the finishing touch and less than a tight defensive battle, the match basically was lacking intensity and quality for the most part. If the match wasn’t challenged enough with debatable motivation on Everton’s side, a heavy rain before the break slowed the pacing considerably. As the match wore on a few scoring chances opened up, likely none better when Dan Gosling rattled the post with roughly twenty-five minutes left but still they couldn’t find a way through in route to a scoreless draw.
