The Yellow Submarine victorious in Liverpool

Three quotes from Soccernet's live commentary of the Everton-Villareal game.

David Moyes looks very determined on the Everton bench. His opposite number, Pellegrini, looks like a cabaret singer.

Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome ...

Riqueleme is starting to come in to his own as Everton chase the game and Villarreal look to frustrate them by keeping possession; the Argentine play-maker rarely gives the ball away and always seems available.

And that is all the magic required.

This has been a classic European performance by Villarreal; they were outplayed early on, but stayed composed and patient and hit the home side twice with stunning counter-attacks. Everton, understandably, have been a little niave {sic}.

Sometimes you can picture how games has played out just by reading a few sentences.

Good night.
