Yeah, he a waste of space at the moment. Hopefully we wont be renewing his contract if he cant get himself fit.

hang on...

I was told (via this forum) that he was very angry not to be playing vs Newcastle. Me smells an inconsistent rat.

 

[neil999]

how about playing barkley as part of a three in midfield instead of behind lukaku? and have 2 wide men...just trying to think of ways of bulking up midfield if gibson is out...

 

[andybaker]

Genuinely thought with all the comp for places in midfield he would be injured less. Its normally funny how little players get injured when they arent guaranteed to walk back in or the team is winning.

Hes got glass legs. I expect more from gibbo hes a great player for us, we need him back

 

[Groucho]

Need to maintain momentum. Joe Hart is good but looking a bit suspect at the moment. Shoot on sight.

They were beaten last night and may be knackered, especially with an early Saturday KO.

 

[andybaker]

Naismith would play there wouldnt he?!?!?

jesus wept i was optimistic before this.

No way Mirallas will miss this btw. Could all be mind games by RM I suppose?

He was signalling mate to the bench to come off and he was hobbling. Twisted ankle Boberto said.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Liked the bit about Baz and taking Gary's.

Anyway lets keep on riding high, 2-1 to us sure why not! Lukaku and Baines BOOM!

 

[jtl60]

Go with 3-5-2 two and just shoot on site. Joe Harte is absolute dog turd. This was how he beat city in the FA Cup final with 9 players of a lesser quality

Assuming Kev, Gibbo, Pienaar all out


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

Coleman-Jags-Dusty-heitinga -Baines
-----Osman--McCarthy-----
---------Barkley---------
-- Kone -------Lukaku


Appreciate this is more of a 5-3-2 but you get my thoughts

 

[West]

Peinaar in for Osman delo for mirallas and Gibson for barry for best balance imo

 

[tiny_jacky]

If Gibson Mirallas Barry Pienaar can't play, we can have
----------Howard-----------
Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines
-------McCarthy Osman-----
---Deulofeu Barkley Naismith--
-----------Lukaku------------

and if you hate Osman, we can still have
-------------Howard-------------
-------Stones Jagielka Distin------
Coleman-McCarthy Barkley--Baines
----Deulofeu Lukaku Naismith------

even if you hate Naismith & Osman,
------------Howard-------------
------Stones Jagielka Distin------
Coleman-McCarthy Barkley-Baines
------Kone Lukaku Deulofeu-------

...Incredible depth of squad

 

[Steve Wigan]

Peinaar in for Osman delo for mirallas and Gibson for barry for best balance imo

According to SSN Peinaar is out, Gibson very doubtful, Mirallas 50-50. Would love to get a result here, win or draw, to keep our momentum going, but if Pellegrini is any sort of manager he will have Citeh really fired up for this. Just keep the unbeaten record, Everton !!

Lets not make too many changes
