My eleven vs Stoke.

[Azzurri]

Howard

Coleman Heitinga Distin Baines

McCarthy Barry

Lukaku




Subs Robles, Stones, Oviedo , Osman, Naismith, random kid, Jelavic

You'd play Heitinga over Alcaraz and not even have Alcaraz on the bench?

Sorry if fit I'd have Alcaraz on the bench. I'm not sure Alcaraz can do two games in three days against the lumps of Stoke.

Why is everyone picking Howard? A straight red equals a 2 game ban. And the last time we dropped Barkley worked really well didn't it.

I'm not either, but he's 6 foot 2 (?) to Heitinga's 5'10 (?) which would be handy against these.

Having said that, Crouch is awful in the air - for his size at least.

I thought Naismith was dreadful against Soton, Coleman must cringe when he see's him named at RW, constantly hid from getting the ball, and a dreadful touch. Drop him for Kev, bring back Pienaar for Oviedo or Baines and bring back Barry for Osman, we can assess fatigue against QPR.

Also having a pop at Oviedo when he was played on the wing is very harsh

Couldnt be more wrong

Baines in for Oviedo.

Then the usual suspects with Alcaraz in for Jags.

Think a so called 'professional red card' is just 1 game

Naismith was played to keep Shaw quiet , which he did, he also won every header which none of our so called better players "read" and worked harder in 90 minutes than Mirallas has done in 18

He pissed off inside everytime Coleman got the ball, much to Coleman's frustration, he didnt win every header, not even close, he ran the ball out of play with no on near him, Shaw set up Soton's best attack with milky nowhere to be seen. He is an awful footballer

ALWAYS drifts inside. He's the most ill-disciplined player I've seen at Everton in a while.
