Reading 2-1 Everton

Well, Everton lost to Reading.  Adding insult to injury, it was Reading's first win of the season.  Here are my thoughts on the match:
Steven Naismith did great.  Let's face it:  He may not be as good a dribbler or assist maker as Kevin Mirallas, but he's pretty dang good at being in the right place at the right time.  He scored, and almost got a penalty kick to boot.
Nikica Jelavic hasn't been quite as productive this season as last, but he has a solid number of goals, and will undoubtedly score more this season.  He made a key pass, which opened up the game for Everton.
Fellaini made the assist, bringing the ball down with his chest, as he is so apt to do.  We really need to keep him if at all possible.
Thomas Hitzlsperger got his first start, and did good.  Perhaps if we are forced to sell Fellaini, we could permanently sign Hitzlsperger.
We have a strong, creative midfield, so we definitely should have scored more on Reading.  We just need to penetrate more, and take more chances.  Come on boys, COYB.
