We need Lukaku to rise up and over the chants from Chelsea fans. He's not been involved much. Either that or bring on......Eto'o!

Apart from those first few minutes, we have destroyed them in every department! Got to keep at it!

Pleased with the response after the nightmare first few minutes. We are playing with an intense pace, we have to! Can we do it for another 45 minutes? We have to!

What so Distin gets dropped cos Jags has lost the plot?!

Yesssssssss! Game on!

I'm really not enjoying this bad feeling I have growing towards jags! It doesn't feel like him!

Jags again! Lucky this time...but for fucks sake, what are you doing?!!!!

Getting into it. Goodison sounds awesome...fair play to those there! Gonna be tough...but we need need a 90 minute up and at them performance now!!!

Nice passage of play there. Let's settle into it boys. It's not over.

Howard lucky not to see red. Mirallas should have played it wide instead of shooting. What a start!

If your at Goodison now...chant like fuck. The 12th man is needed. C'mon.

Erm. Ok. All or nothing now. What a terrible start.

That was the most idiotic defensive decision from Jags I have ever seen! Why decide to step up like that when you are chasing someone's run? Awful! Oh my god...2!!!

Well put out there...but think the choice between them has gone now!!! I'll put it out there...give me them both in our squad. Lukaku (28mill), Barry (2mill), Besic (4mill), Eto'o (0), McGeady (0), Mccarthy (13mill) plus Welbeck (3mill...because it fits!!!) OR David Luiz...50 mill.

This.

Belting line up that for Everton. Shows confidence and intent to attack. No fear. A good bench too. Should be a good game. Oooooohlalala.

Ok. There's only one Danny Welbeck...One Danny Welbeeeeeeeeeeck (& Eto'o)

Yeah, you bloody have. I said the other day I'd allow myself to get excited about the potential signings of Eto'o and Welbeck. Let me have my moments.

....oh....that turned out shit!!! Was meant to be 4-2-4. BOOM anyway.

Fuck this, it's all out attack on Saturday.... T.How Jags Distin Coleman Baines Mccarthy Barry Welbeck Naismith Lukaku Eto'o BOOM!!!

Well, yeah. As kind of said in the next sentence. Although who really knows what the strategy was, if any? Man Utd had a real successful pre season. We're just not fit. For what ever reason, we aren't fit. We're not a million miles away, we just haven't got that extra bit enough to maintain concentration for a full game. It's coming though.

As said in the match day posts, it's down to match fitness. The pre season games were very low key with various fringe players playing in various positions. There was no intensity from our players. This may have been a deliberate strategy from Bobby. Only time will tell, as in when the real games kick in (cups, euros, the final 3rd of the season). Certainly the reason for the shipping of late goals is the WHOLE team tiring. It's not down to individuals, or tactics or whatever. Just match fitness. If it's still the same in a few games time, I'm worried. Right now, I'm no where near worried.

I know. And I felt the same some years ago. But I got over it...I'd prefer him to wear a 5 over something stupid like 40+1 (who was it who had a number like that? In Italy I think?) Or 99. Or 69. Rude.

See. That possibility makes me smile. Before we complain about not enough choice...now we wonder 'where would he fit'!!! Oh C'mon....I've been an Evertonian all my life, and I can't suss us out sometimes!!!

Squad numbers? Who cares? It 2014. The game has progressed since the days that a number meant something (Except 9!!! And maybe 10!!!)
