Everton (Away) C1 SF 1st Leg : Pre Match Thread

[kenzie115]

I'd go with:

------------------------Wily------------------------
Zabaleta----Demichelis--Otamendi-------Clichy
-----------------Fernandinho---Yaya--------------
Navas------------------Silva-------------------Sterling
--------------------------Aguero------------------------

We need to freshen up this team. And considering KDB is a completely different player away from home right now he's easiest to drop. Demicheli/Otamendi looked pretty comfortable together and we need them to manage the line.

Aguero needs to start. The only way he'll get better at this point in the season is if he gets true match fitness.

Thoughts?

Demichelis/Otamendi didn't look comfortable together the last time they played, at Stoke. In fact, Demichelis looked about 45.

Lukaku is possibly Mangala's ideal opponent, strong and quick but not too intricate. He has to play.

I will be disappointed if Kelechi didn't start.

Instead of Aguero?

ffs its a semi final why are we so obsessed with rest infact lets play the second string, therefore the second leg will be a formality and we can REST more players Sorry if it upsets but ive supported us since 1968, and in our lean times i prayed for us to reach a semi- final, now we have made it, i would very much like us to put out are best available ,and go for it Sorry but asking Demi to take care of the battering ram Lukaku well cancel the trophy polish. Whatever it takes even after our recent successes getting to a final and winning it,well life doesn't get better does it?

this....probably another myth started by Sky,we've got probably the strongest squad in the League with practically 2 players for each position,i'm sure they they will be professional & put a team out that will get the job done

Zab. MDM. Mangala. Clichy.

Any team with mom in is surely not good enough to beat Everton, this is a semi after all

Depends how good your mom is at football.

Prepare to be disappointed then. He's third/fourth choice striker and won't get close to being selected because it would be madness to do so.
