Bolton (Home)

[Matt]

Ok guys, im going to try and kick this one off... Ive posted some questions to the folk on the below link:

 

http://www.the-wande...p=582216#582216

 

Im not sure about this one, theyre going to be on a high after beating Spurs but im hoping that being at home and the old lady rockin, we can edge this one. Its going to be a fingernail fest though....

 

edit - a few response already! Will put them up now before i get stuck in work again from tomorrow...

 

The Qs (thanks Kohen!)

1/ Ive liked Coyle for a while and think hes a good manager. But do you think he is good enough to take you to the next level?

 

2/ Danger men - who should we be looking out for and who are you worried about?

 

3/ If you could nab 3 of our players, who would they be?

 

4/ Do you expect any transfer activity in the January transfer window? If so, which area do you think you will try to improve on?

 

5/ The easiest question, following your victory against spurs, what do you think the score will be at Goodison?

Randy Watson:

1/ Simply Yes. Europeon tour on the horizon.

 

2/ Stuart Holden is on top form passes well, never losses a tackle. Elmander is on top form away from home, of course Kevin Davies, a handfull to any defence.

 

3/ I'd have Arteta, Cahill, Jagielka and possibly Baines(although a wigan reject).

 

4/ Don't expect any movement, I'm happy with the squad but we could do with a better quality right back maybe a central playmaker with some skill.

 

5/ Not expecting to get owt special at your place maybe 1-0 or 1-1. Elmander bagging our goal.

 

Hisroyalgingerness:

1 - he is, but I think it will take a couple of seasons yet to get the club re-moulded into what he wants it to be. This is a club which had it's infrustructure decimated by a minimalist Gary Megson

 

2 - We've employed Davies and Elmander as a 2 this season, and the big men have been strutting about giving centre halves a good old torrid game. You can expect that. We've also go t a much improved bench, so if it's tight or we're behind, we do have players like Rodrigo and Petrov to call upon.

 

3 - I think Arteta's been a great player for you and would improve most midfields in the Premier League. Baines is one of the better left backs out there, and would improve us and finally Tim Cahill.

 

4 - We never get our hopes raised too much because Coyle has done all his business quite quietly. We don't have much money, and I don't really see what the point would be in spending it in January this time out unless we'd had injuries.

 

5 - it's got 0-0 all over it

 

Gary The Enfield:

1/ The next level for us would be back to where we were 3 or so years ago. A top 8 finish and possibly, just possibly, a Europa Cup place. Early days still but the confidence does seem to be coming back. But there's a lot of competition in that area.

 

2/ Elmander seems to be our best scoring prospect away. Holden continues to improve. On our day, they're all a danger.

 

3/ I thought stealing was a Scouse pastime? Jagielka, Pienaar and Cahill (to balance out the Davies's we have)

 

4/ We don't have much money so it would depend who leaves (expect media speculation over Cahill (G) and Barcelona coming in for Davies. (Joke)

 

5/ Not the best of hunting grounds for us recently. Draw

 

Friendly bunch over there it seems, more answers too if you want to check out the link above

IS this like a game? Guess the questions?!

That was a way to get you to the go to the thread, you know, so you could see the other answers....

 

ive added them now you fussy bugger

[Bailey]

This is the perfect game for us to bounce back with. Its at home, its physical (hopefully no niggly fouls) and the players should be fired up for their disappointment at Blackpool.

 

Im saying 3-0 although Iv been way off with nearly every other prediction this year!

 

Id imagine the same team depending on how fit Pienaar is, other wise im sure Billy will fill in.

[marcopaulo]

has to be a win...shite result at pool so we have to win this game no excuses

[Everton_Worshiper]

Woohoo was supposed to be out of the country but trip cancelled so I can make the game...

 

Going for a 2-1 win for us...Arteta, Taylor (the bugger always scores against us, even when at Portsmouth) and then Yakubu.

[BrotherEstapol]

Continuing on with my stupid picks;

 

1-0

 

Howard with a header in the 93rd!

[Romey 1878]

[chicagoblue]

Really hope we get to see Felli get on as long as it's not too early for him. Clean sheet and a full 90 minute performance would be the perfect set up for the weekend.

 

2-0

 

Yak and Saha.

[Matt]

Head-to-head

 

• Everton have won the last four PremierLeague matches against Bolton at Goodison Park without conceding agoal. It is 370 minutes (six hours and ten minutes) since SteliosGiannakopoulos scored in a 4-0 victory for the Trotters in December 2005.

• If selected, Kevin Davies will be makinghis 300th appearance for Bolton.

 

 

[Steve_E]

Heitinga will be missing the game. Something with the tendons in his knee.

[Finn balor]

got to be three points 3-0 cahill,yak 2

[Romey 1878]

Heitinga will be missing the game. Something with the tendons in his knee.

 

 

That'll be why Felli has been rushed back then. He wasn't supposed to be back until the Arsenal game.

An underdone Felli or Pip as DM with Hibbert at RB?????

Personally, I'd like to never see Neville in midfield again but I don't like rusty players starting games so it would make sense.

[GoodisonRoad]

Is Rodwell not in contention?

[Romey 1878]

Is Rodwell not in contention?

 

 

Yes. Mentioned it in another thread that I'd like him to come in ahead of Felli in place of Heitinga.

[adamsmith69]

I think we will win this, clean sheet to boot. 2-0 a Yak brace.

[duncanmckenzieismagic]

Tough game tonight and Im expecting Davis to cause us problems, I can see it being 1-0 either way

[MikeO]

Howard, Neville, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Arteta, Bilyaletdinov, Pienaar, Cahill, Fellaini, Saha.

 

Coleman, Heitinga & Yak out/benched....Bily, Felli & Saha in.

[Ian C]

The first team is out. Let's see them prove that they deserve to be there.

 

Yak and Coleman are definitely the types of players that will make a difference if brought on too.

 

COYB.

[MikeO]

Mucha, Hibbert, Beckford, Yakubu, Coleman, Rodwell and Baxter on the bench.

 

Strange to rest Seamus after a decent game on Saturday...my quess is we'll have an hour of disappointment from Bily and then he'll come on.

[LexKing]

We have to grab all 3 points today, even ill predict this will be a tough one. bolton has been on good shape lately and even i thought before the season started that they will do better this year than last, they have been even better. Too bad not much of chance for seeing this game, no links anywhere

Fucking hundreds(exaggeration) for the Mancs game

[Bailey]

Howard, Neville, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Arteta, Bilyaletdinov, Pienaar, Cahill, Fellaini, Saha.

 

Coleman, Heitinga & Yak out/benched....Bily, Felli & Saha in.

 

Not too impressed by this team. Dont think Bily or Saha deserve to be starting ahead of the players they have replaced. It will be interesting to see how they perform but I dont fancy our chances. For me a win depends on how fit Felli is, he will be the one who rescues possession and keeps the 2 bolton CFs quiet.

[thinman]

IS there a working link available? Pretty please?

[LexKing]

Only 1 ive found so far. Gonna know does it work just after the game starts. Hopefully so, thumbs up? http://www.atdhe.net/27979/watch-everton-vs-bolton

[thinman]

Thanks Lex! We'll keep our fingers crossed.
