Everton v Newcastle. 3rd Feb at 1945.

[Woolly Blue]

Gerry was rested at Carlisle, why isn't he starting tonight?

Cos we're playing Stoke on Saturday. He's likely to start then.

 

[boris]

Seems a bit safe that starting 11, a bit defensive looking?

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

 

[ianefc]

Good team apart from the fact we've got Cleverley at left mid

If he's playing I prefer that it's on the left as appose central, but if he is playing on the Left I hope it's to accommodate deulofeu's lack of defensive awareness on the other side not overly happy he and the 'workhorse' Lennon start together.

But when all said and do we will batter these. All being well.

I hope Joel has an absolute Neuer-esque performance so he can't possibly be dropped again

Stones not even on the bench....wonder whats going on there

Lets hope all these new Newcastle additions haven't learned each others names yet...

Just LOL at our inability to put out our best back 4 EVER. I really thought this was the night we'd finally see it. Koff Everton. 3-1 to Newcastle.

I think it's ok, tbh. Stones and Baines are not in good form.

 

[quasi modo]

I agree with Lennon starting deserves his chance, baffled by Oviedo over Baines. Stones could do with a period out of the team.
Also think the 2 holding midfielders offer nothing going forward, but hopefully I will be proven wrong.

Fine and dandy and looking forward to being two points from Liverpool by half nine.

Me too. Early goal from us, makes this a comfortable night. Hopefully.

When did we all seem to come round to the idea that two games a week is life-threatening stuff for a winger?

Would be wonderful, although the season is already gone. Maybe we can rescue an EL place if we sort out the defence.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Interesting line up, glad to see Joel in goal and Stones rightfully rested from the squad entirely. Would have put Baines back in a LB but it gives Oviedo another shot to prove he's worthy of a new deal. Just have to make sure to get the ball into Rom as much as possible tonight and get Ross running at their back line

 

[Coffee and TV]

I guess resting Baines is because we're playing against on Saturday and he's had quite a long time out injured this season.

 

[davek]

Me too. Early goal from us, makes this a comfortable night. Hopefully.

Dont care when or how we get the goals. Just do it.

Fine and dandy and looking forward to being two points from Liverpool by half nine.

And then back to 5 points from them by 9.36pm

Why no Baines? Saving him for Stoke?
