Sorry, I do not want Everton to lose any match. I do not want to lose 4 out of the last 5 matches of this season. Thereby, we should play our strongest line-up and 3 points in the bag to round off a fantastic season. Remember...Everton are played to win N.S.N.O.

Howard

Coleman Jagielka (capt) Distin Baines

McCarthy Barry

Deulofeu Barkley Naismith

Lukaku

Subs: Robles, Hibbert, Gibson, McGeady, Osman, Pienaar, Stones.

Injured: Oviedo, Kone, Mirallas, Traore.

Take out as many WC players as possible

Strongest team available but ideal time to give a debut to a youngster or two, seeing as we can't move up or down!

Anybody who thinks we should play our strongest side needs to go take a long lie down. I still remember the 2004/2005 season. We travelled to Arsenal last game. We couldn't finish 5th, and we couldn't finish 3rd. We got tonked, but I weren't arsed. I was fuming with Moyes for playing a full strength side in a meaningless game though. Why? Well, Carsley went and done his ACL didn't he, and we never seen him after that for a year....

.......ACL can happen in training. Should play our best team as far as I'm concerned. Saying that would like him to introduce one of the youngsters from the bench if the game allows.

We should try playing 3 at the back - a system that RM likes to use and the players need to get use to.

The senior lads shouldn't even be training this week. Anybody gets injured and I'm gonna fume.

It won Wigan an FA Cup like. Not saying it should be our plan A though.

It might be though. Maybe Roberto has been clever and decided when he came in not to change too much at once. i.e style AND formation.

Whenever we play this formation (ok, we probably use it for only a few times), we tend to ship out a lot of goals.

I think our defence is vulnerable at time because this formation leave gaps in the flanks. And it is easy for the CB to be dragged out of the defensive line by through ball.

Pretty sure Carsley snapped his knee in the last game of the season at Bolton.
