Hafnia Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Bigger than the derby this one for me. Going to be an interesting side - is Barkley going to play? I think so, Phil Jones is missing for them as is Carrick and I believe we will boss the midfield, get Barry to man mark Rooney and wind him and Felli up as much as possible - there is a red card waiting for those two if we do it right. Really looking forward to this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Jones played yesterday, did he get injured? Got a yellow card taking him to 5 so 1 match ban - pity that Rooney didn't get one too, he is on 4 yellows. From looking at Red Cafe etc Jones has been in good form for them so will be a big miss I hope. Fellaini will be an interesting one, my guess is that RM will get our players to wind him up, he will be under immense pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Angel Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Now listen up people.... Best form of defend at Old Trafford to date is Attack, attack, attack... We must take the game to them from the first whistle. Dont let them have any time on the ball. Fellaini will not be an issue on the floor. he was overrated with us and he's overrated with them. Dont worry about him now cause he thinks that changing to man Utd he has developed 60 yard sprays across the park. he's an embarrassment. he will never be that technically gifted. get over yourself. Really hope delefao comes on as sub but not before the game is out of our grasp like against man city. If we ever had a chance of taking three points at utd, this is the time. I will have my camera at the ready to take the still shot of RM on the touchline whilst red head is in his box behind him looking vague of idea's. 1-3 COYB......... Dont feel we will get anything at the emirates so we need something here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Unfortunately I have to work so I'll miss the game. I'm hoping for an attacking side all Howard Coleman Jags Distin Oviedo McCarthy Barry Deulofeu Barkley Pienaar Lukaku I'd like to see Mirallas and stones off the bench as subs. Go blues!!

Peter H Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Its still Man Utd away so I cant be too confident, hoping we get a win and we might just get it. Only by a goal though so my best guess is a 1-2 win. COYB! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Martin Atkinson the ref. Not excited about that appointment. I'm going with a 2-0 United win, or a 1-1 draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Atkinson was the ref in the 3-3 against Utd at Goodison in 2010, when we were 1-3 down going into injury time, scored twice in quick succession and he blew for full time during what was the same passage of play when we were on a break for the winner after a Utd corner. Resulted in Moyes marching onto the pitch almost to the centre circle to have a word with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee_in_LA Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hate the fact that we have to play this game on a short week... but I have to say that I'm by no means scared. I can definitely see us getting a result here, it's just a matter of how we come out during the first 10-15 mins. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueboy122 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 What a strange feeling it is for us Evertonians! Actually looking forward to playing the big teams rather than dreading them. Be great to see us attack and actually have a go at the big boys rather than wait and wait and wait to concede. Moyes gave far to much respect to the big boys in the league and was almost scared to take points off them. What sort of reception do you think Moyes will be getting this week? I would imagine mixed.

Im still nervous about the game. Got a feeling that if he wins he will make comments on his new clubs stature vs ours... Either way, I think he will get a positive reaction. Theres 70k people there, most of whom will be Utd supporters, so any boos would be drowned out. How he is received at Goodison, I think tomorrows performance from him will answer that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofanon Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Let's have a right go at them - that's what I want. Apart from their forward line I think we have a better team and shouldn't be afraid. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's very difficult to predict a Bobby M team selection now (which is a good thing as it indicates the strength and depth of our squad) but I really liked the way we finished the game v Stoke so I would like: Howard Stones or Alcaraz Jags Distin Coleman Oviedo Delafeu McCarthy Barry Barkley or Osman Lukaka Subs Alcaraz or Stones Osman or Barkley Peanuts Mirallas Johnny H Jelavic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 thats what Id like too Haf, maybe Pienaar in for Mirallas since he (apparently) played so well. Why change a team that won 4-0 against a usually solid defensive team?` Toffee_in_LA, Sibdane and Hafnia 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 dont get everyone dropping piennar all of a sudden cause he's yesterdays news.... he had a blinder against stoke and was one of the outstanding one's in the derby also. should be straight in!

FairWooney Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 don't know why anyone would want to drop him after Saturday, I only saw the last half an hour but he looked top quality, picking the ball up around the middle, driving forward and lots of smart attacking passes. Lovely little flick on his assist for Deulofeu too. Howard Coleman Jagielka Distin Oviedo McCarthy Barry Deulofeu Barkley pienaar Lukaku Though I wouldn't begrudge him leaving out either Deulofeu or Barkley in favour of Mirallas or Osman if it's felt Gerard would be better coming off the bench for this tough away game. I think Barkley will start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs08 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Just read an article David Moyes salutes Roberto Martinez's Everton FC exploits But is it me? Is he just trying to blow his own trumpet whilst slapping Martinez down?"I always told them they could play without a manager (WTF? in other words anyone could carry on what I left) because they are very well organised, but Roberto is doing a really good job keeping it (My legacy) going."Is he just being a bitter tw*t because Martinez has had (more or less) nothing but praise (from us the supporters & the press) since he's arrived but actually he has even suprised the most hard-nosed of us EfC supporters, for example Baines off in a derby and brings Gerard on (would NOT have happened under the ginger one) playing Barkley 8 times already this season, twice for the carrot last season I could go on and on and on…I really really, REALLY hope Bobby can push the players to put the pathetic record of no wins at OT since 1992, absolute disgraceful record don't care what anyone says, Moyes I loved him don't get me wrong but after the way he conducted himself trying to get Feli & Baines for the pitiful amount he offered in the summer + the comments he made about I wouldn’t have sttod in the way of their progress ++ now that I have see the way we actually can play when we have a manager with an actual footballing philosophy and not just a, lets try and win by one and then defend for your life tactics of old, I for one am glad he fucked and even then under the dubious circumstances.

Unfortunately in my eyes anyway, he now really comes across as an absolute ginger cock, which is very suprising as he always seemed a genuine guy from the Jocklands for 11 years with us, just shows how power (or lack of in his case) corrupts! If we can give the a game like we did Norwaypool and Stoke, then I really cannot wait for the game tomorrow, SERIOUSLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 He needs to keep reminding himself of part of his statment. We gave him his chance from Preston NE....if it weren't f or us who's to know whether he might not have got that chance at top flight. Cause the way I can remember it, he wasnt setting the world alight at Preston. He's got a big job off a pal not the club. If fergy was at spurs he would have got his wish last summer also. The man is very ginger!!!! His daughters alright though. Awwwwooooooooooooooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I can't believe the comments from moyes today. Thought he would have learned his lesson but the condescending, Bertie big bollocks got me well pissed off until I read our managers retort. Totally respectful but he made his point alright. I so so hope we win tomorrow but I have a feeling moyes will come out and take credit for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
