Number 5 wrote: Not many teams are going to have a better ariel threat than Fellaini and Cahill from open play, then add Lescott and Yobo at set pieces and after 90 minutes you have to summise Vermaelan and the whole team defended the skies today well against one of the toughest ariel teams in the league. It's all about 100% concerntration and whilst the Everton goal can be excused at 6-0 up, there will be plenty of times we play better and score none.
But didn't Cygan also have an awsome debut?
top post, number 5!!!

Yes he and gallas looked pretty solid today, with the exception of the unchallenged header that was cleared off the line, but tbh i was very surprised at just how toothless Everton were today i expected far more from them in attack and definitely expected more from them in defence where they were absolutely shocking.

Although spelt Vermaelen, it's pronounced 'Ver-mar-len'.

Which makes it easier to come up with a chant for him. Using the Red Army chant:
Ver-mar-le!!
Ver-mar-le!!
Ver-mar-le!!
Ver-mar-le!!
Would sound great if one lot of fans shouted it first and then another lot echoed it back.

He's too small though, not what we need
