I would have played Lukas, but no chance of that now!

Maybe get Kissock out on the field so Ghost can see how he acquits himself

even though im confident that on our day we can beat any team in the world (i honestly do) , i feel that in an fa cup game any team can win regardless of price and talent of the squad.

its all about who wants it more and who has the most heart.

big clubs lose to smaller clubs becouse they assume it will be a walk over but the other team just have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

its all about mindset.

oldham have won there last 6 away games so will be brimming with confidence.

we should win but this match has the potential for a major upset.

the fa cup is typical of a competion for giant killers after all.

im not counting my chickens till the eggs have hatched.

You worry too much, 6 wins in a row in what league? can't compare with the wins in a role Everton has achieve recently, and we have learn our lesson in the league cup against lower team!

Can't see us slip up against Oldham, we are not the Everton that was still in the dark age period, we now have more quality than before and more confidence than ever, it's never going to be a walk through but the score at the end would looks as though is a walk through!

Everton have rung the changes for the visit of Oldham in the FA Cup.

Stefan Wessels, Leighton Baines, Alan Stubbs, Thomas Gravesen and James Vaughan all come in to the side.

Tim Howard is rested, while Alan Stubbs joins Phil Jagielka in central defence.

Leighton Baines comes in at left back with Thomas Gravesen in midfield alongside Lee Carsley.

Stephen Pienaar features, with James McFadden and Andrew Johnson - who both scored at Middlesbrough - retained.

James Vaughan is handed his first start of the season up front.

There's plenty of options on the bench, with Yakubu, Joleon Lescott, Victor Anichebe and Anderson de Silva joined by sub keeper John Ruddy.

Silva on the bench.... hope we get to see him.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

[Cal]

Seems like we're playing a 4-3-3.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I'd assume Faddy is pushed on the wings again?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

6 English players starting the game for us today.

Take note the Liverpools, Arsenals an Man Citys of this world.
