They're on a roll 2 wins in a row and a romp against Chelsea. I'm hoping we go at them and it will be wide open, pelligrini doesn't strike me as a park the bus kind guy. Here's what I'd like to see 442 again diamond midfield

 

Howard

Coleman stones jags Galloway

McCarthy

Mirallas Cleverley

Barkley

Kone Lukaku

 

Would love to see Gerry and Besic get some playing time as subs.

That's where we differ. I'd rather be on the end of an exciting 6-5 loss than gain a boring 0-0 point. Risk vs reward. He who dares wins (sometimes).

 

In terms of excitement over the ninety minutes I'd agree with you, as I said I loved the 3-2 game even though we lost (screwing Liverpool softened the blow also).

 

Ultimately though it's about points on the board, if we were to finish fifth on GD we'd look back on games like that and have a little cry. Short term gratification v the bigger picture, know what I'd choose.

And this highlights more than anything that you don't support Everton if you would sooner us lose than draw. Us not losing is the minimum we want yet you just want an entertaining game so aren't really arsed about us as long as you get entertained.

 

Why don't you just join a premier league forum instead of posting shite like that. We lost but hey it's ok I was entertained instead of we got a hard earned 0-0 against one of the best teams in the country , stay unbeaten keep the momentum going and have 5 from 9 .

Have to say I hate draws. I'd much rather be entertained each week win one and lose two than draw 3. Same points tally! Only thing is goal difference may take a thumping.... Everton have been draw specialists for too long though!

So you would sooner us win 3-0 then lose the next 2 rather than draw all 3?

 

I'm glad you aren't our manager we would be relegated in a season.

agreed. getting a point for a draw is one of the many reasons i love football. in american sports this doesn't exist, it's win gets points or nothing at all. this is stupid.

 

winning at home and drawing away isn't a bad goal to strive for.

Losing drains confidence and self belief it's not good for the team, you want unbeaten runs to build moral and team spirit. Beat the teams you're better than and hope for a draw against the better teams at worst. A draw to City and Spurs I would be made up, we may have drawn 3 but we'd be 5 unbeaten.

I've changed my lineup after that Chelsea demolition. Their pace on the attack/wings with Aguero, Navas, and Sterling has me wanting to change my formation to have mccarthy the lone DCM (barry doesn't have the pace). I'd instruct Galloway to focus on defense and not worry about attacking as much due to their pace and his inexperience. Also if they have a weakness I think it's their fullbacks so Mirallas and Gerry are in for me and let's just go high tempo counter attack with all those mids/wings/strikers.

Decent side.... We'd have to really go at them and box them in with that though.. He'll go with his usual two sitters

I like that team but I think there is more chance of a 5-4 result than a 0-0 with that team. We would be great going forward but could easily get caught if Gerry and Kev dont defend well.

You have said yourself you follow Martinez not Everton. You can have whatever views you want but anyone who would rather see us lose and it be an entertaining game than draw and it be dull doesn't truely support the tram.

 

I don't understand how you can be happy to get beat as long as you have enjoyed the game, it makes absolutely no sense to me.
