FK Krasnodar v Everton

[Muggins]

I think we all expect a good named 11 to do well, but shuffling the team round means the chemistry between the players on the pitch changes quite dramatically. All of a sudden players who expect their team mates to be in certain positions and play certain passes are not there and the replacements are doing things their way, meaning all of a sudden they have to adjust what they are doing.

Don't expect too much here guys. I know they are professionals, but they are not robots.

No Wanderson or Joaozinho, who are regarded as their best players, the former made the bench, but no Joaozinho at all.

Interesting... Maybe their resting players? You thought we had it bad with 12:00 on Sunday against United, they're playing Zenit at home at 2pm on Saturday, it's nearly 8pm there now.

Second of a 3 game ban mate.

The right team, in my opinion. Eto'o and McGeady both have experience in Russia and Hibbos experience and the fact that he put a good 70 mins in at the weekend(despite what the anti Hibbert lemmings think) gets him the nod in an important game over Browning who will no doubt get at least 20 mins again. We have the big guns in reserve on the bench, no doubt, to only be used if required. Osman again will give us a good hour at least before being replaced. Sensible management by Martinez.

 

[OnlyTheBestIsGoodEnough]

Heres hoping they do not have a fast left winger - Browning should have started imo! Gibson is also off the pace Swansea destroyed us with Hibbo and Gibson in it!

Yeah I agree browning should have started felt more relaxed when he came on at the weekend and we do need some very good competition at right back as good as Coleman is he needs be pushed for that spot

Joazinho got a straight red in their qualification game, so he's probably suspended still...

Would anyone else take a draw?

Hibbert and Osman starting is giving me some bad flashbacks.

 

[hetion]

Browning for Hibbert, Barry for Besic and Eto'o for Lukaku as subs I reckon. Bit of a pain as none of Hibbert, Barry, Eto'o or Osman should be playing the full 90 ideally but thems the breaks with injuries I guess.

Still, be interesting if they're prioritising their league game, may work out great for us.

Can't believe Hibbert and Osman are still starting games for Everton in 2014.

Don't, you'll attract butters ffs. Like a moth to a flame.
