The bare facts are that Everton went out of the UEFA Cup last night 4-2 on penalties after extra time. That doesn't tell the whole story, however. On a night of high passion at Goodison Park the Blues comprehensively outplayed their illustrious Italian opponents even more so than the Florence side had done to them last week. The crowd were superb and the 4-4-2 formation (David Moyes had to change from his preferred five man midfield after Tim Cahill's injury in training) worked a treat. Were it not for an outstanding display from Sebastien Frey in La Viola's goal we could have had five or six. Once again for an English side, penalties were our downfall.
Ultimately I was so proud of the team last night and I only hope they can pick themselves up for the remaining nine Premiership games (and stick it to the redshite at the same time).
