Lineup vs Arsenal

[neil999]

whoever starts we will have good options to change things from the bench

 

[Librarian]

Thing is I'm not convinced McGeady or Mirallas offer that much more defensively really.

True
It might be difficult to start with Barkley AND what is effectively two wing forwards when we have such attacking fullbacks.

Ah screw it, I've changed my mind.

O

I wouldn't start Deulofeu in this one. Last time out he left Coleman a bit isolated in defense on occasion, against Arsenal, that's too risky.

If we need to win against them,we want someone who is direct and not afraid!!!Deulofeu may be selfish but we need him to create something out of nothing!!

 

[Inno17]

Does anybody know if its true that Ozil, Wilshere, Koscielny and Ramsey are all out??

 

[micknick]

I would start with Delefueo and Mirallas and bring Mcgeady on. You saw how he terrorised a tiring defence at the weekend and I think he could be a real asset from the bench this sunday.

 

[Inno17]

-------- Joel --------
Hibbert - Alcaraz - Distin - Garbutt
McGeady - Osman - Gibson - Oviedo
Naismith
Kone

Win 3-2

yes they are out,they will probably stick with the team played against city.We need to take full advantage of our roaring home support!!!!
Goodison Park, make it tough for them!!

 

[sharkey1001]

My line-up:
----------- Howard -------------
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
-----McCarthy-----Barry---------
Mirallas-----Barkley----Deulofeu
------------Lukaku--------------

But I think this XI will start
----------- Howard -------------
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
-----McCarthy-----Barry---------
Mirallas-----Naismith-----Osman
----------Lukaku

Need Pienaar back. Anyone know if he's fit?

Normally I'd agree with you, but we're 5 wins in a row without him.

I do miss the sexy back-heeling little african though.

 

[Walken]

He was awful against Fulham until he got injured...Naismith was far more effective. I do think that Ross is looking a bit 'bulky' on occasions, and he has a tendency to lose the ball in dangerous positions. Not doubting his potential, but he's not there yet, by a long way.

chill out moyesy lad

 

[Shibbywiggles]

----------- Howard -------------
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
-----McCarthy-----Barry---------
Mirallas-----Naismith----McGeady
------------Lukaku--------------

Del and Barkley as impact subs would destroy them if need be.

I'd also say that we have to make sure Jags is fully fit. I really wouldn't mind Stones playing instead if he has to.

 

[bluegirl]

If Ross and Jags are fit:

Howard
Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas Barkley Naismith
Lukaku

If they're not fit:

Howard
Baines, Distin, Stones, Coleman
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas Naismith McGeady
Lukaku

Wouldn't start Dele IMO, doesn't defend enough, bring him off the bench as an impact.

Does anybody know if its true that Ozil, Wilshere, Koscielny and Ramsey are all out??

YES, all out it seems (obviously Walcott as well)
Diaby is back in training this week, doubt he'll start though.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Need Pienaar back. Anyone know if he's fit?

Pienaar is out long term, knee ligament damage...best case scenario is he might be back for the last 3 or 4 games, but he's definately out of the Arsenal & United games...

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Does anybody know if its true that Ozil, Wilshere, Koscielny and Ramsey are all out??

Wilshere & Ramsey are definately out....Koscielny might be back.....Ozil is out with a hamstring injury.......Diaby is back in full training for them this week so might feature....
