West Ham v Everton: FA Cup 3rd round replay - Jan 13, 2015

[II McColl II]

getting really tired of seeing Barkley and Naismith in the same team, neither play as well as they can when they are put in the same team unless Barkley plays in a deeper role. Naismith still puts in a shift which will win any fan around and gets the odd goal but can't deny his performances were better without Barkley and Barkley just performs better without him he cant fall back on hard work and effort.

Cup game is the perfect chance to either get Mcgeady and Mirallas in the side or to play Oviedo on the wing which he is more than capable of doing

 

[Titus Bramble]

McGeady and Barry lol

Same team as the one that put in arguably our best performance of the season against City. So basically, cheer up.

It appears the pre-game meltdown has begun.

Some feller on another forum...a trusted source, btw, said Eto'o and Martinez were scrapping on the team bus on the way down and they had to put Eto'o off the bus at Watford.

haha, martinez has punched the whole squad so far this season - seems a nice chap, why the mask?

IN A BIT SAMUEL

See ya Samuel. Was good whilst it lasted. Kev must be carrying a knock. Only explanation. What's Oviedo done to pee off Bobby? I'm backing the Blues (of course) tonight. 3-1.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Who's the w**ker in the black (or yellow)?

 

[davek]

Please no extra time. 2-1 to Everton.

Extra time and injuries. No thanks. I'd take the loss now and move on.

 

[orchard]

I am. But we cant let it get in the way of the PL stuff now.

We can't excuse our way to the Championship mate - we need to fight for Victory every game and stop generating excuses. That's how we'll win things.

He is.

Kevin Mirallas admitted that he still feels pain in his ankle. "I'm still not 100% fit." (Sp. Telenet) #EFC

 

[eurosrees]

Is that the same starting line up as Saturday?

Must be a first this season.

I was just thinking this, regardless of whether it's our best 11, which is clearly isn't without Mirallas, we need to start playing a settled side, it seems like the starting line up has been a constant surprise for the last 6 months.

I personally think we'll win this one four one.

A double brace by McGeady.

 

[quasi modo]

Barkley and McGeady need to start getting the basics right tonight.

COYB

 

[Groucho]

What about Geads, is he less than Little faith?

He is inconsistent. Sometimes he creates stuff (admittedly a difficult comparison for a keeper), or at least tries to. Obviously Mirallas is a million miles better but if I'm being honest, he is no Kanchelskis either is he?

Don't get me wrong, I know Mirallas is a really good player but I feel he's looked better due to the rest of the squad being under par. If we lose Kev, it'd be a big blow yes, but he's not irreplaceable - however, bringing it back to McGeady, he's not the man to do it.

And we need a new goalie!

Another trusted source on another forum reckons Martinez pisses in their Lucozade and spits in their faces too. I have no reason to disbelieve this lad, he's usually 100%.
