Everton v Swansea. 1st Nov at 15.00.

Tactically I think the key to this match is scoring more goals than we concede. If we do that we've a good chance of coming away with three points.

Reckon this will be the week Lukaku drops to the bench so he's 100% for the game on Thursday. Barkley will obviously play considering he was only on the bench last week due to the amount of minutes he played at Villa and Lille, don't understand why some thought he was dropped but ah well. I think the team will be Howard; Coleman, Alcaraz, Jagielka, Baines; McCarthy, Barry; Naismith, Barkley, Pienaar; Eto'o.

I think Swansea were one of the best football teams to come to goodison last season but had a soft underbelly. We will be better this week. 3-1 blues.

 

[USABlue]

2-1 us

I think we should play Lukaku as a run of games to get his confidence back is probably in order.

A full-strength team like this would be a good idea I reckon:

Howard

Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines

Barry, McCarthy

Barkley

Eto’o

Naismith, Lukaku,​

I love that you say if we score more than them, we have "a good cahnce" of getting 3 points.... Only an Evertonian doubts we'd get the points despite scoring more goals!

Howard Wilkinson: "im a firm believer that to win a game you must score more goals than the opposition"

Bit too attacking that I think mate

 

[Aar_the_Toffees]

Not an easy win.
But the League Cup game in which we lost 3-0, we were never out of the game-even though we played our "2nd" squad and they played their first.

Not easy, once again, but 3-1 to us-COYB

You're probably right. I like attacking, though. I think I should never be a football manager as I would be too tempted to fill the team with strikers.

 

[angrysoba]

I just think that Barkley, Eto'o and Lukaku need a bit of playing time together. Maybe rest Naismith.

 

[Springhettios]

We better smack these noobs. I realize Swansea aren't a easy game but we should have enough to win. That League Cup game meant nothing. We got this! Barkley gonna go ham sauce!
