Moyesy says: "I think there is a case for at least one penalty kick and maybe even two. We are just not getting decisions going our way right now. I don’t like speaking about officials but I am going to have to say something shortly because the softly, softly doesn't seem to be working.We didn't deserve to lose that today and parts of the first half was as good as we have played all season. It was the points we have dropped against Manchester City, Wigan and Newcastle that have disappointed me. Today the players went about their jobs in the right way.”

Moyesy on Tim Cahill's Performance: "Tim was outstanding and he deserves a big pat on the back. In my mind I had ruled him out until I saw him at 6pm on Friday and he said he felt great, he’d had plenty of sleep and he was ready. That changed my thinking because all along I didn't think he was going to be available."

Tiny says: "I think regardless of all the flying I have done I prepared right in the week and when I came back I was ready. I felt really good in the game and felt confident because of the way we started and played. When you go away and come back people expect to have a shot at you. I felt that if I put everything into the game people would appreciate that.

If you make mistakes you get punished. But I always felt we were going to get something from the match. We came here and played really good football. To come back and lose 2-1 was devastating because I felt if we had won it would have kicked us up the table. We could have had a couple of penalties and if those decisions had gone our way it could have been a different game." (15/10/06)

What did you think of the match?  Did Moyesy get his team selection and tactics right?  e-mail info@bluekipper.com after the game.

* I WAS HAPPY WITH THE GAME THE LADS PLAYED THERE HART OUT. THE REF MADE THE MISTAKES.. WE CAN TAKE A LOSE LIKE THAT WITH EASE. (MICK OLD BLUE)

*Just watched the Boro game in a bar in Palma Nova and wonder why Moyes is still flogging a dead horse and inflicting Davies on us. At best we have a glass midfield and to weaken it further by introducing Davies is fucking criminal. His tactics or should I say antics in the last minutes cost us the three points there, now his antics have caused us to drop more points after having a promising start. Unless he bucks his fucking ideas up we will end up in the bottom half of the table again. (Chris Simpson)

**sings* The Referees a Wanker! We had the possession, and the start for us was great, then the penalty...yes Howard was lucky not to be sent off an everything, and it was a poor attempted clearance by Neville which led to the penalty...1-0...soon after in Boro's penalty box Cahill was pushed clearly, the linesman should've saw, but no penalty, this happened to beattie twice etc...then 2-0. I thought that Valente maybe could've done something about it but I haven't seen the highlights yet so I don't know. Then Cahill had a class goal, I thought he was going to lose the ball but no, he kept it and scored :D. 2-1. Arteta played well on the ground, saw a little flick with his foot over him and everything, however the last 2 minutes he could have crossed into the box, but he decided to keep the ball and lost it :(, his corners were not to usual standard, but some were still pretty good. Mcfadden should've been brought on earlier in my opinion aswell. And Tim Howard's penalty save! (*chants* USA, USA, USA...) - if only he didn't give the first penalty away. (Dom Laird)

* A mobile phone was thrown onto the pitch. Schwarzer took it to the ref.

Moyesy has probably the biggest selection headache of this season, with injuries and International tiredness taking their toll. Definitely out is Nace, but it is expected that Nuno should shake a slight knock off, and come in at left back, if not Pisto is back in the squad and could return. Hibbo will return to right back after his one game suspension against City. Phil Neville is the biggest doubt, and it looks likely that his hamstring that he picked up on International duty will keep him out. Simple Simon may come into the middle for the Blues after staring for the Welsh in midweek, show us what your made of Simon, here's your chance.

Top scorer Andy Johnno should be ok, after his two weeks resting his hamstring knock. Tiny Tim I believe will be given another week to rest after flying round the World to play for the Aussys in their recent Internationals. That may open the door for Jimmy Mac, who if starts makes his 100th Everton appearance, to sit in behind AJ up front, or Moyesy may opt to stick him out wide left. After the frustrations of the Man City draw, I fully expect Biffa to be on the bench, and Moyesy to opt for a 4-5-1 winning formation again.

The Blues face a team who failed to net in the League against us last season, although they did dump us out of the Carling Cup. We are unbeaten against the Teesiders in the last five Premiership outings, and with only one League win to their name this season, albeit against Chelski, Everton must fancy their chances of coming away with at least a point.

Moyesy says: "We will wait and see with them all. I hope Andy will be okay but we will see how everything is after training. We won't know until we have got all the lads back after international duty. Phil Neville was not due back until today, neither was Tim Cahill. Nuno Valente has a slight groin strain but Andy is really close. Davie Weir and James McFadden came back yesterday from the Ukraine and they are both in contention, like everyone else."

We just want to go and play as well as we can. We got a good result there last season and hopefully we can get something similar. The main thing is that we keep showing our good form and that we can keep progressing."

Moyesy On Tiny's Late Arrival : "Tim will fly up to the north-east independently to join up with the squad when he has had some rest. From Wednesday night after the game he cannot get on a flight for almost 24 hours. It should be done quicker, it's something Fifa should look at. Australia always want their players as soon as they can to get maximum recovery and preparation for their games, but yet they stay on a day longer in Australia and then don't get them back to us until Friday, midday."

Definitely out for Boro tomorrow is on loan Real Madrid centre half Jonathan Woodgate, who has picked up a knock on his leg. Boro's Summer signing from Chelski, Robert Huth is in line to make his first start for Boro, replacing Woodgate at the back.

Ugo Ehiogu (Achilles), Malcolm Christie (knee), and Chris Riggott (ankle) all remain sidelined, but George Boateng, Jason Euell and Julio Arca are nearing first-team availability for the Teessiders.

Boro remain 17th in the Prem and have the worst home record in the Premiership with only three points picked up in their own yard, and have failed to score in three of those games at the Riverside. They have averaged two goals against at home this season, so lets hope that form stays intact at least for another week.

Yobo on Intrnational Team mate Yakubu says: "He is a good player and he is handful.But if you ask him, he knows what I am all about. He knows what he is coming up against! He is my mate in the national team but I am going to give my all to get three points."

Boro Defender Andy Davies on Under Fire Manager Gareth Souhgate: "I just know how much all the lads respect him and how much we all want to play for him. I know it has been tough for him the way it has started, but all we want him to know is we are behind him 100%. We just want to get our heads down and play for him and get wins for him because he is such a genuine guy. " (13/10/06)

Boro From: Schwarzer, Turnbull, Davies, McMahon, Parnaby, Huth, Pogatetz, Bates, Taylor, Arca, Boateng, Cattermole, Morrison, Mendieta, Rochemback, Euell, Parlour, Johnson, Yakubu, Viduka, Maccarone.
