MikeO Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'd like to see essentially the same team - but with Oviedo starting instead of McGeady and Barry instead of Gibson. This might also be a good game for Kone to make an appearance as sub. PS - I just clicked Like instead of Save. Any way I can undo that? I didn't even realize I could like my own post! Not as far as I know. I'll give you a neg to cancel it out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think he's referring to Mirallas, Barkley and Coleman being big players for Everton rather than meaning United is a big game. That's how I read it anyway, could be wrong. You read it right but I was slightly off topic so can see where he got it from . Think United is a big game though although I thinkk well hope Matt was tongue in cheek?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 This could be a high-scoring game, although I'd take our current defence over theirs any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacs Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 This could be a high-scoring game, although I'd take our current defence over theirs any day. Agreed, they're that bad at the back now they make the formidable Barthez, Brown, O'Shea combo look solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest millwallforever Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 People were expecting a high-scoring game at Anfield as well. Personally I don't think we will see too many goals.

There'll be goals in this. Utd are good going forward & terrible at the back. We have the capability to play amazing football, I just hope our trip to Russia doesn't take to much out of the tank.

markjazzbassist Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 After seeing the Krasnodar lineup I think this will be seen this weekend Howard Browning Stones Jags Baines McCarthy Besic Barry Lukaku Naismith Mcgeady I really hope pienaar, Coleman, and Distin are fit and ready would love to see them in there.

MikeO Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 According to Martinez press conference, Pienaar has a good chance of playing, McCarthy and Coleman will have late tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Lawrenson on Stones: "He is clearly going to be a very good player - the only problem for Everton is that he is going to make his mistakes while he is playing for them in a key position and finding out what Premier League football is all about." Shut up Lawrenson, no more mistakes than any Liverpool Centre Back has made this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be an excellent lineup. If Pienaar is ready, though, I'd play him first, with McGeady taking his place during the second half.

jrossiter Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Without coleman and McCarthy I fear we are going to see a similar performance to Russia but we are up against a lot better this time so I really do fear this one. Not as confident a feeling as there was going into the same fixture last season!!! Edited October 3, 2014 by Southall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideliner Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 my wish list : we play with a proper back 4 - Lukaku to start dishing out dividends - we not too jaded after invasion of Russia last night - we beat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 For me, this game will be won in the midfield... Albeit our defence has started to solidify a bit, we still allowed far far to many chances in Russia. Limit their time on the ball, I really don't rate any of their defenders bar Shaw but even he will surely be rusty, I'd like to 3 in the CM again and possibly even Oviedo/Baines double teaming on the wing to counter Di Maria..

Lowensda Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm going, got some exec tickets, so will have a pretty decent view. Think they'll turn us over. Happy to be proven wrong! 3-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gethinO Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've just read that Paddy McNair will start for United at CB. So let's have him under pressure as soon as possible. You'd like to think so, but somehow I can't really see us targeting him. Reminds me of when Brad Jones had to play in the Semi Final for Liverpool. Biggest game of his life and he would have been incredibly nervous so you would have thought the tactic would have been to test him at every opportunity. Don't think he had a save to make all game, which was terrible from us and Moyes. Toffee_in_LA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 A win here is needed, we could be sitting in the bottom three come the end of the day! I'm actually dreading this match. Not because I fear United, but because I fear how our players will play (and which ones will be missing!) and what calamities they'll bring on themselves.

jrossiter Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 It's hard to believe how negative we have become after such a great year last year!!! Have we just been found out? This is a real chance to put a lot right! Back to good performances even if we loose would make me feel better!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Falcoa hasn't scored for them yet so its a certainty that he will get one today but they are almost as poor as us at the back so Im going for 2-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm sorry, have I imagined how we've been so far this season? We actually haven't been gifting goals to the opposition no? Shit, I'll have to move seats because I'm seeing something else going on.
