[Jawsville]

I have a feeling we'll get a pen straight away, first game!! Arteta (pen) & Yak

2-0

 

[Dom1878]

Howard

Neville - Yobo - Lescott - Valente

Arteta - Rodwell - Jagielka - Baines

Osman

Yakubu​

Or:

Howard

Neville - Yobo - Lescott - Valente

Arteta - Jagielka - Osman - Baines

Yakubu - Vaughan​

tbh i think it would be quite funny to see Baxter, Rodwell or Gosling play, if we won that is.

Id probably say the bottom team would be the best, although the top wouldnt be bad.

 

[ToxtethBlue]

Team:

---------------------Howard------------------------

Neville----------Yobo----------Lescott----------Nuno

Arteta----------Jags-----------Rodwell---------Baines

-----------------------Osman------------------------

-----------------------Yakubu------------------------

Prediction:

1-0 Osman with the goal.

 

[Dom1878]

Prediction: 3-2 victory, yakubu, baines (FK) and Vaughan last minute goal

(i think)

Lol thats still 2 players short for the game...

 

[ToxtethBlue]

I'd love it if Vaughan and Yak started together, that would be a superb partnership. Sadly I don't think Vaughan is ready, he hasn't played enough football in Pre-season. I think he'll be on the bench.

We will concede in this game i think, although i think we have enough to beat blackburn.

Our midfield in the above teams make me :toilet:

 

[teppic]

[uknightbreed]

im going for 451

.............howard
...neville yobo jags lescott
arteta gosling rodwell baines
..............osman
................yak


i feel its going to be a messy game , rather negative tactics with few chances from open play.
i think we will defend in numbers and do our usual 'hard to break down ' routine while hoping to snatch a goal from set pieces.
i think blackburn up front will be a danger .
i also feel that even though blackburn are quite weak in midfeild and defence i dont think we currently have enough passing quality or height to overly trouble them .

1-0 win for everton.lescott header from an arteta corner late in the game.

Agree with that, I think we'll win but it'll be tough. A set piece might clich it for us and with Lescott, Yobo, Jagielka and Rodwell in the team we'll have enough height.

I can't see Gosling starting, I think Moyes will make sure we have as much experience as possible so Nuno will get the nod at left back and Jags wil play in midfield.

2-0

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[Welton Toffee]

1-0

Jose Baxter.

Bring. It. On.

1-1. Yakubu strikes mid-game and R.Santa Cruz nets midway through the second in a sloppy afair. Would love to be proved wrong though and see a breakthrough like no other!
