markjazzbassist Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 With the injury bug in full swing it will be interesting to see our lineup for this match. I still think we should get all 3 points regardless of who's fielded, but here's my guess. Howard Coleman Jags Distin Baines McCarthy Barry Mirallas Osman Pienaar Lukaku If Distin isn't fit it will be stones in there, and if Pienaar still has that knock it will be mirallas on the left and naismith in there. Pretty thin on the bench, let's hope Gerry is back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 That starting XI will win the game for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosetoffee Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm not normally the pessimistic type but I can see this one being a draw. West Brom are a hard, physical side and can defend really well at times. I hope I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant1979 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wonder if McGeady will make the bench? He's been with the lads in Tenerife and considering how light the bench will be in terms of attacking options... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodisonRoad Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wonder if McGeady will make the bench?

McGeady will replace Pienaar in the second half. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oztoffee Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Howard Coleman Jags Distin Baines McCarthy Barry Mirallas Osman Pienaar Lukaku Hells bells! That's not a bad team to put out at any time. We have some great options too, but after seeing what happened when Pienaar and Osman went off for Naismith and Heitenga I'm a little apprehensive. Perhaps Bobby was showcasing Johnny at the time but to change 2 midfielders at the same time doesn't go for me. I'd rather Osman come on for 20/25 mins than start tbh. Where do you think that McGeady will fit in to a starting lineup? If he replaces Mirallas I think that he'll have to change his whole approach towards team-play rather than the selfish attitude that others think he has. However, Bobby has forgotten more about this sort of thing than I actually know, so in Bob I trust! By the way....absolutely overjoyed at Baines penning a new deal!

Guest Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Usual team with the milkman in for stonesey. With the shite drawing these next two games could mean us putting daylight between us . Think the little break will do us a favour and can see a good win 0-2 lukaku double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zolton Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi Guys, Not been on here for while, I gave an opinion on Lukaku that he was not the finished article, but was a great guy and you would love him, seems to have been about right! Anyway, tomorrows game, well you are rightly favourites, I'm hoping we can get at least a draw but to be honest, after getting rid of the dour Clarke, we have little idea on what team or tactics we will use, I expect us to at least try to pass the ball, which will be a pleasant change. Whatever the outcome, good luck for the rest of the season, Everton are probably my favourite team after the Baggies, don't know why, maybe because of 68, by the way, its the 12 anniversary of Jeff Astles death today if that is any sort of omen.

I remember watching that game. Wasn't it Everton's Morrissey who could hurl the ball a distance from a throw-in? I remember the Jeff Astle goal, too. PS - I just watched highlights of that game on YouTube and was struck by the sportsmanship. If a defender made a challenge, the forward struggled to stay on his feet and would continue. If someone was hurt, someone from the other team would run over to help. No one stayed down for more than a second or two. Contrast that with all the acting that goes on nowadays. How things have changed. Edited January 20, 2014 by Cornish Steve markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirallas Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I feel like we just absolutely must win this game. 4th spot versus 7th spot is such a big psychological difference. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychological not only for Everton but also for United. Being 7th and six points behind 6th spot would be very demoralizing for them.

rubecula Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Could be tough. IF Anelka plays. IF the new manager changes them. IF we don't turn up. IF we have too many out. Not feeling overly confident before the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Oviedo left mid is not liked by me but it was necessary. As is Osman unfortunately. Really hope we bring in another midfielder before the window closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, thought we were going to walk all over Southampton last season (for example) and did well to get a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
