pete0 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Got a feeling Barkley will come on for a significant amount of time and hopefully make the difference. Looking at the stats Chelsea tend to score early and we leave it till the last 20 mins. If we keep it at 0-0 before the break history says we'll pip them.

Blue4Ever Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Everton almost always does well against the big teams. (cant believe im refering to Chelsea as a big team) There is a chance of an upset and it would be an upset if Everton won. But its not impossible. If the four defenders tighten up. We could get a few breaks to score on. I want Jelavic on the pitch for this game, we all know what he can do and he is getting into good positions. Im all for dropping him for a couple of games, just not this one. I dont want Heitinga on the pitch. Absolutely not with Distin and Jags in a 3 CB situation with 2 wing backs. We cant be messing about now with our line up. We need Neville to have a good game. Hopefully in the middle of the field (!) just for some stability and experience. im going to remember that line after the game alot of people may agree but imo playing a youngster gives u more than neville in midfield for the fact that other than shouting and playing a few 5 yard passes he doesnt offer anything you really need but i will say im wrong if he plays well.

pete0 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) No Nev tomorrow according to FeelingBlue. Basically leaves us with Howard Coleman Jags Distin Baines Naismith Osman Hitz Pienaar Anichebe Jelavic Unless Coleman isn't fit, Heits in. Subs Oviedo for Pienaar, Gueye for Naismith, and Ross or Vellios for a striker. Edited December 29, 2012 by pete0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 You could go into The Winslow right next to the ground though it's always a bit too crowded for me. Alternatively go down the County Road....walk down any of the roads off Goodison Road going away from the ground and you'll come to it....there are several to choose from along there. I've always seemed to end up in the Players Bar. Been a while since I've been though . Hope you get a taker to meet up with you (I would ) but seems people on here tend to stay pretty anonymous off the web....shame really. Enjoying your trip? Cheers Mike. It's been good some far and a win today would truly seal it. Is Players towards or away from the city centre on county rd? If anyone hears the Canadian with the Baines jersey come say hello. I'l be sat dead center in upper bullens today and hope to Jelly crack a couple. 2-1 as we've completely forgotten how to keep a clean sheet.

Fearthainn Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Caught my first match a Goodison on Wednesday been wandering the city since then, and second will be the Chelsea game. I know there's more than a few options, can anyone recommend a particular pub for pre match pints? As I'm travelling alone I'd also be we'll up to meet with anyone who is going to the game. Cheers lads. Only just saw this mate so it's probably a bit too late but I'd be up for a pint. Where are you sitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideliner Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 we must not concede early - start slowly and absorb the pressure - play with single striker up front and def midfield focusing on assisting back 4 - if we score 1st they will hit us with everything they got and it will be difficult to turn the tide - keep them out in 1st half and then go all out in 2nd to catch them by surprise - slow the game down and try and keep possession - you don't run a good side off the park - you play the waiting game and catch them napping - and then hit them hard - defenders and def mids must be in their faces all the time - never give a good player space or too many options - this is going to be a tough nut to crack and maybe a bridge too far but let us rather never say die - hope the players really believe they CAN WIN this one - then the battle is half won .

All the foreigners ( not mentioning names *cough* Mirallas *cough*) have this impression that because they've got the big names, they are some unstoppable team.

EFC-Paul Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Tough game We need to keep Mata under wraps today and nullify their play through the middle.... Big game for Hitzlsperger today hope He can do the above and break up their play if He can I think the other lads will cause them problems, I don't think Azpilicueta will fair well if Baines and Penut are on form! 2-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoward18 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 With the injuries/suspensions really hurting us in the midfield, Pienaar has stepped up IMMENSELY the last few games. Thank you Tottenham! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirallas Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Jags was brilliant there, great cross (keep it up!) This tempo is key, keep pressing pushing and moving. Yes, offensively he's good, but he can't controll Hazard too well whenever he's on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
