Everton v Newcastle. 17th Sep @ 20.00.

[ToxtethBlue]

Howard

Neville
Jagielka
Distin
Baines

Osman
Fellaini
Pienaar

Naismith
Mirallas

Jelavic

I'd go for something like that, Neville at right back, push Fellaini deeper, tuck Pienaar inside and push the wide players a little closer to Jelavic. Not the most powerful midfield around but Newcastle are missing Tiote and don't have any real physical presence in there. Not that I'm worried about that with someone like Fellaini in there.

2-1

Really hope Mirallas starts. Desperately want to see him play a good 70 mins asap. I suspect Leeds may be down as the game for him to do that, though.

Chance to go second on Monday.

(9th it is then, meh)

 

[ianefc]

Remember Alan Pardew's quotes about not looking at the evertons anymore.

Someone on twitter has just said that there will be 2 mascots come out on monday one in our kit one in Liverpool's one with 9 on the back and the other with 6.

 

[heatmeiser]

So they're playing in europe on Thursday?

We will utterly smash them. I'm slapping a tenner on Everton 3+ goals.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

First half will decide it, IMHO...

 

[md49vd]

WHY AYE MAN!!

had to get it in there.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Come on Blues, we can still win this...

 

[- Bradders -]

Nice preview mate.

Tight 2-1 imo. Jelavic first goalscorer. Ben Arfa for them, always good for a bit of magic.

 

[Phyllis Stein]

We'll volley these everywhere. 4-5-1 setup, over run them in the midfield and score three or four.

One from up front, the rest from midfield, unless Baines gets a freekick.

 

[Brennan]

We really should batter these. Not saying we will, but with them missing Krul and our outfield team being the stronger overall i would be very disappointed if we didn't take all three points.

Going for a 3-1 repeat of last season, without an OG from Hibbert hopefully.

 

[Brennan]

Oh and don't know if anybody has mentioned but it looks like Newcastle have sold their away allocation.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Pip will boss the midfield.

COYB

 

[Goat]

I shall be doing my normal bet of 3-1 Everton, Baines last goal.

FFS, just once, make me freaking rich.
