Cornish Steve Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I don't want to seem precious but Everton should know more than any clubs about the danger of having matches in bad weather. There was an Everton fan who died while going to the Leicester City game in 2004 (the one where Duncan grabbed Freund by the neck) after wind blew an advertising hoarding off a nearby building and into Evertonians walking to the game. That image of Duncan and Freund always reminds me of it, because the man left behind a son who's the same age as me. Oh my goodness. Now I feel bad about being flippant about the weather. I didn't realize it was quite that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with the players, it's the safety of the fans that's the concern.

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 i think its totally ridiculous that it hasnt been called off yet, cant wait any longer will have to chance it Even if it does go ahead its going to be farcical trying to play football in this weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 What in the world has Mirallas done to earn that? The team is secondary to the strategy, right? We shouldn't be playing the same people week in and week out. The "best" team depends on who we are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thinking about it, McGeady is more equipped to create chances against packed defences especially if he gets isolated against the FB and Mirallas is probably at his best at creating chances against teams that attempt to attack. Martinez will only start one because he likes to balance that off against a more possession orientated and defensive player on the other wing. I havent been won over by McGeady as yet but these are the type of games that I expect him to show his value to the squad so it will be interesting to see what happens. Sod that, games off!

chicagoblue Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Think this delay might well work in our favour. We can certainly use the time off as much as anyone. I'd put 5 on us being a stronger team when this fixture is rescheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
