Pickford
Coleman Jagielka Keane Baines
Gana Schneiderlin Rooney
Walcott Tosun Bolasie​

Gana and walcott aside the front 6 there are absolutely disgusting. It's As if there's a massive injury crisis and there's no other option but to play those players.

Pickford

Coleman - Keane - Funes Mori - Baines

Gueye - Schneiderlin

Walcott - Rooney - Bolasie

Tosun​

I reckon it'll be that. Not what I'd personally go for, but I'd be surprised to see Allardyce stray too far away from a bit of 'familiarity', even at this late stage. Can see Funes getting the nod though following his sub appearance against Swans.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

It'll be 100% a team containing Rooney, Schneiderlin, Jagielka and Bolasie. That alone ought to be a sackable offence, even selecting two of those four. Never mind all four of them. Awful. Get Mori, Klaassen and Vlasic in the starting XI for starters and let them show what they can do.

On holiday in Penang Island, Malaysia. Game starts at 3-00am and is being shown live.

She who must be obeyed says I can watch if I want to but must be up for 7-00am and ready for a full day.

Tempting though it is to just get a good night's sleep I just know I am going to be sat in front of the tv at 3-00am, full of hope - only to wonder at 5-00am why the hell I stayed up to watch it.

As an Antipodean Evertonian of some decades standing, I am only too well acquainted with the resigned acknowledgement that a good night's sleep is going to be ruined by watching Everton.
In a way, the depth of direness Everton has now plumbed has set me free from that nocturnal masochism. We are such a crap team nowadays I have just stopped watching us. Their abject uselessness might access occasional feelings of contempt , but I keep a rein on those and just let utter indifference do the heavy lifting.
But 'next year' eh? Maybe it'll be our year...


...I shan't hold my breath.

we will go for 0-0 and accidentally win 1-0 due to a Baines pen in the last few minutes. oh the joy.

That little mouse will hand the ball out to fat arse Rooney who'll proceed to miss. Maybe somebody will knock the rebound in and Sam will be buzzing at a phenominal victory.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

Work in progress. x

I'm more exited by the prospect of the Blues and Geordies joining forces to tell that fat corrupt vermin where to go much more than I am to the turgid football that'll no doubt be on display.

Everton have only lost twice in about the last dozen games at Goodison, and I don't think Newcastle are good enough to win here.

I’m going tonight, just used Stub Hub hoping it’s genuine as I’ve never used it before

I've used it loads, it's absolutely fine, I'm going tonight as well and will see you in the massive queue for tickets!

If sam sets up to defend,anyone is good enough to try and beat us really,but i am sticking to a 2-1 Everton win

Roberto is in the Monday Night Football studio tonight. Could be interesting. Would have liked to have seen him given the chance with even half of the money Koeman had. Shame. A million times more likeable than the latest two carts and never once had us flirting with relegation either. Given money he would have done ok.

Look, I stuck by Martinez longer than many on here did.

But let's not revise the past.

The guy ultimately started the rot by simply been far too stubborn for his own good.

If Koeman was trusted with 150m then Martinez was extremely hard done by imo. Watch him win the World Cup with Belgium this summer. Will prove that if he has good players at his disposal he can do great things.
