howard dangit come on thats 2 now

dangit!, coleman gets burned and howard come out too far

lukaku!!!!

6:45am here in the US, and it's COYB time!

is anyone injured on man city's squad?

barkley for prime minister

Well put sideliner. I'd like to see Kone in action as well, I guess well have to wait for the FA Cup. Jela I think will head out in Jan to secure playing time for the WC.

I really think we have a shot at 3 points. City is hot and cold and they're playing mid week. I could see them really tired for our match since they're going to be putting a huge emphasis on CL this year (after the last couple years of group stage defeats). That being said, I would be totally happy with a Draw away, City is tough and as long as we don't lose I'll be happy.

Missing Barry will be tough, but hopefully Gibson is back to snuff.

Howard

Coleman Jags Distin Baines

Mccarthy Gibson

Osman Barkley Mirallas

Lukaku

Or does delafeu start finally?

well put ruffrob, he's my favorite and i don't want to see him go either, but he's aging and we really could make some serious bank off it and get a solid young LB and maybe the extra money plus what we already have buys us Lukaku.

Based on what RM has done thus far, I don't think Osman did anything this game to lose his spot in the XI. This is just based on his philosophy, I would personally want Peanuts/Deulafeu to start.

good point, but i see some progression with delafeu. he used to just play league cup games, now he gets 20 some odd minutes in a prem game where it was close, and ossie missed one clear cut chance, but when delafeu came on, different vibe. i get what you're saying and don't disagree, maybe i'm just hoping he'll start.

we got 3 points and that's all that mattered. i think delafeu will start next match on the wing and hopefully osman will be on the bench. we have a strong squad and i love roberto's positivity and attacking. so great to score 3 goals, and lukaku is the signing/loaning of the year!

Half of the England team start each week on the bench.

hence them playing terrible football.

i hope to see this lineup

howard

coleman jags distin baines

mccarthy barry

delofeu barkley mirallas

lukaku

i'd like to see pienaar come on for delofeu, and if lukaku gets gassed i'd like kone to come on.

i'm hoping for a nice everton victory which would really put us in a great spot in the table after all the matches today.

i'm counting on a big everton win after the league cup fallout.

everton 3- 0 newcastle

lukaku, mirallas, barkley

i hope to see jelavic sold in january, it would be nice to have a CB come in.

what a joke, delafeu looked worse as the game went on, lukaku was gassed, and coleman couldn't do jack.

i think roberto should have put mirallas and barry on sooner.

coleman!!! how could you

was that heitenga or stones that got beat by bent? dangit

mirallas for naismith please

i love that our bench is beating fulhams starting xi. love the depth and really enjoying roberto's methods

dear gibson - we don't have moyes anymore, stop playing the long ball

i like the lineup and rotation, it's about time we enjoy some depth and start acting like the big boys instead of playing the same lineup every fixture.

Ouch Av, sounds like everton is just a pitstop for him. Although if we win him over enough and do well and mou reiterates his not playing him stance I could see him coming around on it.

It seems unlikely that in a span of 10 days we'll play our starting xi 3 times. I wonder if Fulham will play their starting xi, do they take the cup matches seriously?

Sorry Cornish Steve but the majority of the population is city dwellers against guns. No offense but the country folk with Guns are the outliers. I'm not against gun use for hunting, but why do people need to be able to buy assault rifles and military grade weapons? And then were surprised when a guy shoots up a mall? Canadians have just as many guns as Americans yet 1/10 or less the gun murders. Why is that?
