Everton 2-1 Wigan. Boxing Day @ 15.00.

After his performances this season Heit should not be anywhere near the starting 11

Kone ripped Johnny a new one at Wigan this year, he was dragged off at HT.

I would be shocked if Moyes made the same mistake twice.

Yeah hitting long balls to him was a total waste of time.

I really, really hope Heitinga isn't starting today, I'd much rather see Neville at RB but that would mean Moyes playing Barkley at CM, unless Osman dropped back there. Which I certainly don't see happening. Oviedo could be an option too, drop Osman back, put Oveido on the left and have Pienaar in the middle.

Or something.

Its like reading the executioners bongs handy work. When did you become a tactical genius?

Hahahaha.

I completely forgot about EB. I always liked reading his analysis, he used to post it on here didn't he?

 

[NewRadical]

Appreciate the effort, especially on Xmas Day.

Nice pic of Wigan Wallgate, can't understand why they don't sell that in a fancy frame.

I used to think Beausejour was a decent player, last week against Arsenal he looked and played like Koko B. Ware.

We've got to win today, good opportunity to pull away from 'rival' side who have tough-ish games today, as we have some difficult games upcoming.

Just seen on Soccer Saturday that Wigan are the only Prem team not to score a first half away goal this season. You just know that's gonna change today!

Definitely with this idea.

 

[Blue for you]

2 nil to the blues Jelavic with both

Looks like there's no leaked lineups for everyone to preemptively fume over for this one.

If Ross gets a start, this will become officially the best Christmas ever. Unless we lose.

If JH starts I dispair - no pace no height no nothing imo - it upsets our defence they are a fast team DM really has to stop this playing has beens favourites - it sends out an awful message to better players on the bench if we win again it will be done the hard way unless Wigan play below par - we won at West Ham JUST!!!!!!!!

except the one at the top of the page. really really hope that's not the team. even if heitinga has a good game i would not compliment moyes because it would be more luck than judgement

My posts are always well researched...

All that needs to happen to that team is for Jonny to sod off, Nev play RB and bring Barkley into the middle. I like having the two up front for a while, especially while Mirallas is out, but I'll be constantly nervous with Jonny headless chooking it about and constantly disappointed with 'Phil the Playmaker' trying to tick things over.

 

[tim cahill]

If colman is still out then neville should definitely be at rb. Heitinga should be nowhere near the team at the moment.

 

[Brennan]

That just defies sense if true as Heitinga had to be taken off at half time the last time we played Wigan as Kone's pace was making him cry.

He has to rotate the squad though. And i think the pace of Torres and Hazard will be more of a worry.

I didn't realise the Chelsea game was on Sunday. Sh*t fan hey!

Yeah that definitely would be more of a worry. I hope to god Coleman is back for that game.
