Everton (h) pre-match thread 13/01/2015

[Kompany is King]

High tempo is key.

Would not play Yaya in midfield 2 or Demichelis at centre half, Sagna there for me.

I think mp believes demi and nico are good enough so i expect him to play them,up against Lukaco(spelling) no chance

Otamendi should be good enough (and frankly we have no choice there). I suspect MP knows MDM no longer has it, which is why he talked up Sagna playing at CB last week. MDM did play CB in the Cup, but that was a lower stress game, and an opportunity to give Sagna a rest - which he needs.

Physioroom for what it's worth has Mangala back for the Palace game.

 

[David Kloppesh]

He's a bit of a sly bastard, definitely. Sometimes think we could do with someone like that ourselves though. Someone not afraid of putting the boot in from time to time.

He'd be off before halftime.

Everton will stand firm, try and be nittty gritty throughout the game but with modest, fair refereeing and vocal support from our faithful we will tear them a justifiable one. 4-0 for Man City.

That would be a nice change

Can see me missing the start here, can't even get onto the m61 from Preston traffic is that bad.

High tempo is key.

This.

Forget formations or personnel, play at the right tempo and the 11 we put out tonight will be more than good enough.

Sounds simple but football is a simple game overcomplicated by too many.

 

[Silva_Spell]

Never expected to be gutted that Mangala is out.
Fully expect to concede from headers/set pieces tonight.

 

[buckshot]

All the hopes we had for the starting lineup: forget about them.

 

[Clercqs]

Oh fuck off. MDM and Fernando starts.
