yOU'D E BETTER OFF WAITING FOR THE TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT 45 MINS OR SO BEFORE THE GAME.

Bloody caps lock.

Anyway, no point in betting tonight, there is no way of knowing who will start tomorrow.
 

"Let’s make this a start of an FA Cup run that will see us turning the captial Blue & White come May. Let’s get excited about genuine good-times, glory-times coming back. Let’s dream about decorating your house on Cup Final day and turning Merseyside blue. It’s about time Everton - and it all starts Saturday".


Yes Yes Yes!

Nice one Cena. COYB

Excited.
 

If Roberto is going to ring the changes I suppose we're looking at something like:

___________Joel
Hibbert Stones Alcaraz Baines
______Barry McCarthy
___Naismith Osman Oviedo
__________Jelavic

(Howard, Coleman, Barkley, Mirallas, Pienaar, Vellios, Lukaku)

Maybe Browning, Kennedy, Gueye or Springthorpe will get into the squad but otherwise that's about our lot.

We'd have to play three of that back four anyway and I've no problem with Hibbo getting a run out (if fit) while Seamus takes a breather. Heitinga might come into the equation but how can his heart (or his head) really be in it when he is looking for a move?

Rare starts for Naismith and Jelavic might do them some good. We could actually play Ossie on the right for a bit more creativity and Naisy in behind Jela for support.

We shouldn't concede too much, so it should be down to whether we have the quality to break them down. We've got plenty of firepower to call upon if needed.

Looking at their side:

__________Green
Simpson Dunne Onouha Assou-Ekottu
________Barton O'Neill
___Hoilett Benayoun Kranjcar
___________Austin

(Phillips, Johnson, Diakite, Jenas, Wright-Phillips, Zamora, Young)

They've got a lot of Premier League experience and ability. I'm not expecting an easy game but we should edge it.

If Martinez takes notice of some of the line ups and formations in this thread we'll get battered. You need to pray he's that daft.

To be fair it shouldn't matter what line up Martinez goes for.

We will have to field some fringe players our selves so i can't see anything other than a Everton win.
 

v Southampton

____________Joel
Coleman Alcaraz Distin Baines
_____Osman McCarthy
___Naismith Barkley Oviedo
___________Lukaku

v Stoke

__________Howard
Coleman Stones Alcaraz Baines
_______Barry McCarthy
_____Mirallas Barkley Pienaar
___________Lukaku

So, if the team against QPR was (starts this season in brackets)

___________Joel(1)
Hibbert(0) Stones(1) Alcaraz(2) Baines(14)
______Barry(15) McCarthy(14)
__Naismith(4) Osman(14) Oviedo(7)
__________Jelavic(5)

the only players coming into the side who haven't appeared recently would be Hibbert and Jelavic. We would be resting Coleman and Lukaku.

Our top appearances so far have been:

Coleman 20 starts
Distin 19
Howard 19
Jagielka 18
Mirallas 17
Barkley 16
Barry 15
Lukaku 15
McCarthy 14
Osman 14
Pienaar 14
