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

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Play a strong team against Everton, it is a semi final if people have forgotten. Maybe just play Sergio 60 or so minutes because he still needs game time but I think a full game maybe a bit much. I would however definitely play a team based on youth in F.A cup and give the likes of Yaya, Debruyne,Silva and Fernandinho a break. I'd love to see 3 or 4 kids unleashed but I doubt he will, because he never does.

I think Sergio is actually at the ppint where he just needs to play now. He got brought back slowly, he's played 3 rusty games. Finally he got his goal, and I expect he will kick on now and be back to his best - just like he was last time he got injured and was shit until he got the penalty vs Monchengladbach. Seems he just needs one to get going again.

I think in reality the cup pelle hasn't won is the FA cup so it's more important to him so I'd expect players rested vs Everton in the first leg;
---------------------Willy----------------------
---------Otamendi------Demichelis---------
Zabbaletta----------------------------Clichy
--------------Fernando--Delph--------------
Navas--------------------------------Sterling
------------Bony-----Kelechi----------------

Hopefully we can bring Isco in before Friday and play Isco, Silva, Kdb and Kun as a front 4 vs Norwich

Why would rest players for a semi final game?

You should always play your strongest team as we have a fantastic opportunity to get to Wembley and win some silverware - surely the players will be up for this?

it's been one of the most easiest cup ties I can think of in a while - don't get me wrong Everton will be a tough game but always play your strongest!

Right side, wrong game.
That should be the line up for Norwich.
Everton have an 'easy' fa cup fixture and so will be able to rest players prior to the league game on the 13th.
Also the game this Wednesday is a semi, and we should play our strongest side having got this far.
( Isco in before Friday?, do me a favour).

Everton will go full strength as a Merseyside final is a possibility If we go there with Demi and Willy we could end up with a `hollow` second leg on the other hand you cannot rule out Stoke, who are having a good season a repeat of the facup final would be my wish

 

[aguerooooo]

Play the strongest team ffs

agreed

 

[chesterbells]

Yep, strongest team midweek, then make the changes for Norwich. As it stands FA cup should be our 4th priority.

Do away goals count double in these semi finals?
