Everton v Stoke. Boxing Day at 15.00.

They gave Utd quite a few nervous moments when they played there as well, think it needed a couple of great saves by De Gea and an Ashley Young (!) goal line clearance for them to keep all the points.

i think a lot of teams have given united nervous moments at OT this season ha. about 2 teams haven't and too an extent liverpool.

what happened to Distin being too old to be on the bench....

 

[bluemangroup]

Agree, but the side we have put out, ignoring no real width, should beat these without too much trouble. Obviously it will be the usual stressful event though!

Ive become incredibly apathetic to everton at the mo tbh. Just taking no risks and the performances are so tame.

 

[davek]

it's fairly similar to chelsea tbh. they have hazard as their winger i.e. mirallas and then alongside is two ACM's, with one who plays as a "wie" midfielder. i.e. oscar and willian. you don't see either of them on the wing.

If you have players who have the discipline to keep a basic shape when necessary and then follow their instincts to go inside and link up then that's ok. I dont see that from Barkley and I especially dont see that from naismith.

 

[Merseyzig]

Good efforts with the truce remembrance

 

[Fedlingen]

Let the fume, COMMENCE!

 

[RFUS]

Koff you Phil Mitchell looking pleb.

 

[RFUS]

Kevin Mirallas has more drive than the rest of our team put together. Love him.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

Guys we started really well!

Obviously we'll lose 2-0 and Adam will be subbed on and break Mirallas' leg.

 

[toffeejack]

officials are so so bad in this country. how has the linesman 1 given the free kick and 2 let the keeper take it about 10 yards away from where it needs to be

 

[Zatara]

Hes playing a system and style and wont change it.

The players need to fit the positions.

Listening to the starting lineup via the TV coverage.

What is shouted after each player is announced? Is it a last name or nick name ?
