Everton v Stoke City. 28th Dec at 1500.

2 games in 3 days, yet Lennon and Mirallas have barely played and are not included. Interesting.

very odd. our bench lacks anything inspiring there and this is going to be a close game.

So two different approaches from the managers, who both have League cup semis coming up. One makes a lot of changes, the other none. Be interesting to see who gets it right.

 

[toffee matt]

Does seem fairly obvious Mirallas won't be sticking around much longer, especially with the Euros coming up

 

[riddick]

You know they are going to target Galloway. And Kone offers nothing in support.

I don't understand it at all, not like they need resting. I think it may be goodbye Kev also. Shame, I like Mirallas.

Looks like Martinez has his eye on the Spurs game with the team he has picked today.

I think bar Baines, he thinks that team today is his best team, if there's such thing now.

Not being funny, I can get not starting but not even on the bench? A fifteen minute cameo? You understand that?

Totally understand that. Those two can be match winners off the bench for us. I was just questioning their fitness levels from lack of game time, but you'd figure they'd be able to but a short shift in. Good point.

Got me that as well. If/when GD goes off, there is literally nothing to slot in there other than a shore up of midfield. Not that I can see anyrate.

Galloway vs Shaqiri is begging for trouble to be honest. Where is Baines?

We have been playing more as a 433 in recent games, if we do the same today that might provide a bit more protection provided that Ross is defensively sharp.

maybe they picked up knocks on Saturday.

Possibly, nothings been mentioned though. He has his reasons, that's why he gets paid a fortune and i rant on the internet.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Anyone know a pub in town that will have the game on?

Thinking it'll probably mean Kone coming to the right and Cleverley being put out left to help cover Galloway. Not very inspiring but we'll see.
