iMac Hunt Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 A game in which DM should rest a few lads and start with a few of our fringe players.Give the lads a full game and lets see what they can do.With our injury crisis it would be good to give these lads some much needed first team action. My starting 11 would be:- If Ossie is still not match fit then start with Bily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue 250 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) I'd rest Cahill........I certainly wouldn't rest the Yak!, Pienaars another I'd give a game off. Moyes has got to be a tad clever with this one, he needs to try and get the win with as little effort as possible.Could be a good game to build the confidence of a couple of players, such as Coleman and maybe one of the young strikers.Not playing Cahill could mean a little go at 4-4-2. Would have been nice to let Jo keep improving, but he's injured, I think! Yak and one of the young strikers, might bring the best out of the Yak. The old saying is "always play your best team".....BUT players like Pienaar could well do with resting that knee.........then ripping Birmingham to pieces next weekend. I'd say enjoy the night Mr Moyes,and which ever team he puts out, may they get the result. Edited December 13, 2009 by Blue 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Why would you play Hibbert at LB? I reckon we'll win 2-0, although it may not be a pretty game with (hopefully) a few first-teamers rested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 ................Nash............ Coleman..Hibbert...Duffy..Baines ..............Rodwell........... .Cahill.......Fellaini....Billy. ..........Baxter....Agard....... Gosling for Cahill or Felli if fit. If we went with something like this it doesn't risk any of our recently injured players and it gives some of the youngsters a chance with 1st teamers - although we've got nothing to lose I think it would be silly to put a whole reserve team out - I'd mix it as much as possible to get 1st teamers/ressies used to playing competitively together.

nutmegwolf203 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think Yak should get some minutes regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Not too sure about the teams people are mentioning here as they seem to want to play players out of position again which Im not a big fan of. My team would be something like this: Howard Coleman Hibbo Duffy Baines Rodwell Felli Osman Baxter Billy Yakubu Id keep Howard in goal because IMO GK's dont need rests and its always important to keep his sharpness up. Id chuck Duffy in there with whoever else can play CB which Im guessing will be Hibbo. Mustafi could play at CB or maybe at LB instead of Baines. I dont really know where he plays but I'd like to see something of him. I dont think we have anyone else to play in the center of midfield so it will have to be Rodwell and Felli. If there is a decent youngster than can step up then chuck him in, or wait for Felli to get a yellow card and sub him. Hopefully Osman will be fit to give others a rest but Id definitely have Baxter in one of the 3 roles, whether it be out wide or more through the center. Id like to give Billy a rest but Pienaar is more important for us and we cant risk him getting injured unnecessarily. As before if there are any youngsters then the should probably get a game in one of these positions. Finally Id start Yakubu up top to try and get some sharpness back. If Jo's fit then I would quite like him to start again as he is doing well and seeing as we are at home he might not be quite such a pussy. I guess it all depends on who's fit and who's good enough from the youngsters. We should play as many as we can as long as we dont have people playing out of position or out of our preferred shape.

Finn balor Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 As Gok Won says "its all about the confidence" i think the last couple of peformances may be the start of a long run that will transform our season. Fuck knows who we will play at centre half, Hibbert and Duffy? 1-0 win. Agard winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philinsuffolk Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Rest as many first teamers as we posibly can. The first team players will take confidence from the Chelsea game. Can you imagine another key player getting an injury in this 'dead rubber' of a game. Certainly expect to see Nash, Coleman, Duffy, Baxter and Agard. Maybe Akpan too and even another reserve player or so also. The home game against Birmingham is central to which way our season goes from here.

adamsmith69 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I agree with everyone on here really. I am going to this game so i would like us to win however, i think our young guns might be enough anyway.

My Team would be: Howard Coleman Mustafi Duffy Baines Baxter Rodwell Wallace Bily Akpan Yakubu Bate have shown there not that bad of a team against decent team this year in europe. theres no way players like wallace and baxter are up for the physical battle are midfield always get themselves into, with the strengh that midfield would have between them ...........Howard Coleman Mustafi Yobo Baines .....Rodwell..Fellaini ...Baxter..........Billy .........Yak...Saha I dont no weather any of them players are injured but that team would do the job I think it would be a good game for Yakubu and Saha to get a good partnership and work for eachover against who probably would struggle in are league. not to weak but could get us a few goals and some confidence to kick on in the league.

jcrawfor Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I wanna see a few players rested for this game: Pienaar, Saha and Rodwell. ---------Howard------------ Coleman Hibbo Duffy Baines ----Bily Felli Ossie------- ---------Cahill------------ --------Jo--Yak------------ I don't really care to see too many youngsters play this one as I think that confidence breeds more confidence and a strong performance at home against decent opposition will put our best in a good place to perform against a strong Birmingham on Saturday.

Romey 1878 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/hibbert-s-captain-call.html Hopefully at RB with our young CB's getting a go. Bidwell is supposed to be a star of the future so I hope he comes on at some point, same goes for Garbutt who we brought in from Leeds. I hope Agard starts too.

Ian C Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Everton (from): Nash, Coleman, Duffy, Hibbert ©, Bidwell, Osman, Forshaw, Baxter, Rodwell, Yakubu, Agard, Cahill, Howard, Baines, Bilyaletdinov, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jo, Saha, Yakubu, Akpan, Mustafi, McCarten, Garbutt That's my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm surprised Bidwell is starting. With the side Moyes is putting out you'd think the club would reduce ticket prices tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Be interested to see how Adam Forshaw does....I was impressed by him in the mini derby recently. Bidwell's only sixteen!

Bailey Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Should be interesting to see how the youngsters get on. I imagine it will be Yakubu right up top with Agard doing all the running and chasing behind him. Its going to be a change to see someone rapid up front as even AJ seemed to get slower when he was at the club. Im also glad to see Duffy in at CB, he played well in the other European game and it would have been a shame to not give him another go. Hopefully the lads will go out there give it their all and somehow get a result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
