As long as fatboy dont score then I'll be happy.

I hate to be the turd in the punchbowl, but the word is in that it's Mother Riley for the semis.

God help us.

2 - 1 anyway. It's going to be fate. We'll get a pen from Riley - Vidic will pole ax somebody in the box, and we'll win on that and dance all the home. It copuld happen, right?

We're going to Wembley after Wembley. 2-1 to the Blues. Everton to lift the Cup come May.

We need to get in their faces.

Too many times have Everton played United and bottled it, let them control the game from the 1st minute to the last. It's almost embarassing to watch.

They will control the game, no matter what really. Carrick and Scholes always will. We just need to get in their faces and break up play and make sure that Rooney, Ronaldo and Berbatov (i expect all 3 to start), aren't allowed to see the ball as much as they usually do.

We let Ronaldo have the ball too much usually, Hibbert needs to stay close to him and crack him whenever possible.

If they have Ferdinand and Vidic at the back, we can't go route one as much really, so we'll need to counter attack them alot and get players upfield as quickly as possible.

I can't see past a United win but i hope we at least give them a game.

i think we'll win it.

don't know why and i don't know how.. but i just think we will.

there, nothing like a bit of well thought out, critically sharp pre-match analysis eh?

coyb!

 

[Dom1878]

even if we are 5-0 down, if Hibbert scores - pitch invasion!!! 40,000 man piley-on when tony hibbo scores | Facebook

Best facebook group ever that.

Hibbert to grab a goal...

...To be honest the best scorers would be Jagielka/Neville/Saha - as they all have played/supported United.

Cahill is the most likely to score, he always does in the big games.

FORZA EVERTON.

 

[Winci]

we'll have a good chance to win as MU will play their best players against Porto on wednesday. Ferguson will more than likely rest some players, probably Carrick, Ferdinand or Vidic, Berbatov and Tevez or Rooney. I'm expecting them to play this team:

---------------Foster---------------
---Rafael--Evans--Ferdinand--Evra--
-Ronaldo--Anderson--Fletcher--Nani-
---------Macheda--Tevez/Rooney---

and maybe Welbeck, Oshea, and Giggs or Scholes will come into the game at some point, so we'll face a strong team but not their strongest at the moment.

2-1 Everton

Scholes scores a screamer after 25 mins
Phil Neville scores the equaliser on 43 mins, a deflection off Gary Neville causing Phil to do 2 laps of the pitch
Tony Hibbert scores the winner after 80 mins and doesnt show a single emotion, because he is a robot

that's great go p.nev! poor hibbo gets ragged on so much... i admit i've had my moments of being annoyed with him, but these past few months he's been stepping up his game, they all have... it's been great to watch.

i can't even think about how this game will end... Just hoping and praying we bring our a game... COYB!!!
