Everton Pre-Match Thread

[buckshot]

Dzeko has been really good about helping out defensively lately, maybe that is part of the plan?

Whats the Everton team?

Whats the Everton team?

Posted a little while back on this thread Rammy.

No Disitn which is interesting as I believe he was fit to play.

 

[BlueMoonWalker]

The moaning Minnie in me has just opened a bottle of bluemoon after reading that line up.

 

[terry_phealens_mum]

Everton: Howard, Stones, Alcaraz, Jagielka(c), Baines, McCarthy, Osman, Coleman, Naismith, Barkley, Lukaku.
Subs: Robles, Hibbert, Distin, Garbutt, Ledson, McGeady, Deulofeu.

MCFC: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany(c), Demichelis, Clichy, Javi Garcia, Yaya Toure, Milner, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko.
Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Silva, Jovetic, Negredo.

Referee: Lee Probert.

hehe Very funny

So can someone post the real team lineup

 

[Mattyc55]

Kolarov should be starting too.. His crossing could be crucial in a tight game against a back 5.

Oh well, it's all upto the players now. Please fucking win City.

Yep he's been good with his team work last couple of games, been tracking back while sergio stats forward.

 

[This and only this]

Fernandinho is burned out, saw this coming in the first half of the season when they wouldn't rest him. Moving from a low intensity league like Ukraine to the Premier League + 3 other competitions...

Exactly this. Pellers even mentioned as much in his presser before the Palace game. Same goes for Negredo.

 

[Cobwebcat]

The cavalry is going to be like nuclear missiles.

Hopefully we won't need them. In Pelle we trust.

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

That is the right time.

 

[Rammyblues]

Thanks people.

 

[Mr HJ]

Problem with that is the pace that Everton have with their fullbacks. Kolarov does not have the pace to get back and is defensively poorer even though his crosses are good. Manuel has quite rightly suspected that Everton will come at us early and then has tons of fire power to unleash once they tire.

 

[kunaguero10]

can't work out whether them going 3/5 at the back is good or not?

 

[Pam]

Why are title chases more nerve wracking than relegation scraps.

 

[Blue Coop]

Not the best team we've ever put out, but here's hoping. COME ON CITY.

Fulham down too

 

[Rascal]

Either 4 against 3 central for us or 2 on 1 wide each side.

Should be fascinating

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

dont like clichy in

He needed someone defensive, Coleman would run circles around Kolarov

Well he didn't e=at the Etihad. Think Aleks defensive side has been a lot better this season.
Saying that I'm happy with Clichy,

Cardiff down by the way.

and Giggsiolalotti van Gaal has fucked up ha ha

 

[LoveCity]

3-5-2 probably means they will have numbers on the break, so ball retention will be important for us.
