Pat Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Real springboard game this one. Good result & we bounce right up the table & start pondering unthinkable's again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC fan in oz Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Might be a tricky game this one as they don't seem to bad of a side and Zamora's just begun hitting the net for them. Be glad to have Arteta back for this game although after the midfield performance yesterday will be hard to know who to drop. Hopefully we stick with 4-4-2 in this game we really do need to start getting a decent goal difference and Beattie needs a partner to support him. Definitly a winnable game 2-0 with Faddy and Davies scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtoffee Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 If we could get 3 points from this we will be really on the move up. Think we can win this aswell hope Arteta comes back in to the side, he was the bit of class we were missing in the final third on Sunday. Another 1-0 to the toffees and i think Beattie might score.

RuffRob Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 These are the matches we HAVE to pick up 3 point in my view, a good result against West Ham would set us up nicely for the Xmas period. It now looks as if we have 'turned the corner' since the well earned draw against Chelsea. But becasue of the really poor start we had - we still have plenty to do. I would like us to be firmly in the top half of the table in the New Year, With home games against West Ham, Bolton, Liverpool and away trips to Sunderland and Villa, between now and the end of the month. I would hope taking our recent form in to these games we could expect 10 of the 15 point available. A very do able target (three wins and a draw) That would put us on 27 points after 19 premiership games (half way mark). Considering we only took 4 point from our first 9 games, this would be a very decent return going into the New Year. Counting my chickens a bit at the moment I know, but with Arteta and Cahill also waiting in the wings to 're-claim' there spots in the team - I can't help but be a little optimistic this Xmas.

Zed Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Think Davy might stick with the same team and 4-4-2, but Arteta could come in Really looking forward to the next two games now ( I was dreading our home games earlier in the season, lets hope we dont slip on the old Everton banana skin I can't help but be a little optimistic this Xmas. Niether can I, as I've been a good boy, and the BMX I asked santa for sould be there on Chrstmas Morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Gotta be looking at 3 points. They're not a great side and defensively they are there for the taking. Arteta back in for Ossie i think which is a bit harsh for him unless Moysie plays Ossie on the left. 2-1 Beattie and Faddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I would give Arteta a rest on the bench, and start with the same 11 as against united, i think they earned another chance. he's always there if things need to be changed.

Ian Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 agree with u there licker, same team for me too...there not bad west ham but if we mark out there playmaker (some isrealin bloke) then i think they will run out of ideas, hibbert shud be able to deal with ethrington and i dont see harewood bein a threat if yobo is up his arse....

rowlo-efc Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 we should win this one..(waits for a big defeat after predicting a win) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> like always - i am going to say that we are going to get done! West Ham are on form and they have no problems knocking the goals in... it will be very very tough for the lads and I think that we will struggle - big time...

FairWooney Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I think we can win this 1-0. same team I think though if they don't look to be living up to the way they played on sunday arteta should be introduced fairly early on for whoever's not up to standard. He's still probably not 100% fit though was on great form before he was suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffeplus Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Arteta has been our best player this year think it would be very harsh to drop him after one good performance would have a straight swop with him and ozzie. 1-0 beattie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Don't think you can change the team. It will cause more damage than good to bring in Arteta. All the players that played well on Sunday will be thinking that it doesn't matter if they play well or not they will be dropped when the frst teamers come back and will effect there performances when we need them to play. Start the same team and place Arteta on the bench. Everyone is banking on a home win and I think the Man U game has taken more out of us than we think. Think we will lose 3 v 1 with Hibbo scoring our goal. Saw someone that they only win at Goodison on average every 11 years and the last time was 1994!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must win game and if we can get 3 points against Bolton then will give us a good chance going into xmas, however a couple of loses and all of a sudden we are back down in the relegation zone again.

Bill Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 BIT OF NEWS......... Latest Wire Update at 14:21 GMT PEKERMAN CONFIDENT OVER CHANCES Argentina coach Jose Pekerman has given his reaction to his side's World Cup draw. ARTETA TO RETURN FOR TOFFEES Team news ahead of Wednesday night's clash between Everton and West Ham. Changing a winning team, whoever he leaves out will be a bit upset.
