Q&A for Tottenham Hotspur v Everton

[zimblue]

1. What are your thoughts on Saturday's game? Will there be any changes from the regular Everton line up from last season?

I think we'll nick it after soaking up a lot of pressure. In our last pre season game the midfield had a very youthful look to it, and it's possible Moyes will throw caution to the wind and field the youngsters like Ross Barkley.

2. Do you think Everton are a club on the up, or is it likely that it will just be more of the same in the coming seasons? Do you think you will be able to break into the top 6 in the near future?

This team is certainly capable of top 6, but the squad is so thin that any injuries means a big drop off in quality. 4th is not out of the question if everyone stays fit but its a big if.

3. What position do you think Everton will finish this season (minimum/maximum)?

7th/4th

4. What do you think of Tottenham's chances for next season?

A good run in the europa league, but perhaps a struggle in the prem.

5. Who is your favourite Everton player of all time, and your favourite current player?

Neville Southall or Tommy Gravesen. Currently between Leon Osman or Mikel Arteta.

6. What is your favourite Everton v Spurs game of all time?

The FA Cup semi final.

7. Rate White Hart Lane out of 10, based not only on the stadium itself but factors you also consider important such as atmosphere and proximity to the pitch.

Only been there once, it was a nil nil-er, Amokachi hit the bar. Atmosphere wasn't great, but could see the potential... it being a proper ground and stuff.


8. What is your score prediction for the match?

1-2.

1. What are your thoughts on Saturday's game? Will there be any changes from the regular Everton line up from last season?

My thoughts are that it will be a very even game between two quality sides, It is hard to predict who will come out on top, I just hope your lots home advantage won't be telling. In terms of changes from last season, there have been no new signings, but Ross Barkley and Magaye Gueye have emerged as two up and coming exciting talents and could both play at the weekend.

2. Do you think Everton are a club on the up, or is it likely that it will just be more of the same in the coming seasons? Do you think you will be able to break into the top 6 in the near future?
I think we are steadily growing as a club, there has been some frustrations with the board over not splashing the cash, but unless you have mega bucks like Man City it's hard to make major additions to a squad that is continually in the top seven in the league, we are continuously tying our key players down to long term contracts which is good and we will bring one or two players in which will only help, so overall I think we are in a good state.

3. What position do you think Everton will finish this season (minimum/maximum)?
I think with those couple of additions and a clean bill of health for a longer chunk than usual, we can realistically look at finishing 6-4th, if that does not happen however, than it is more likely we will finish 7-9th

4. What do you think of Tottenham's chances for next season?

Spurs have got a great chance of getting in that top six again, if you manage to sign the likes of Diarra and Rossi as well then you could be dark horses for the title itself, but you will definitely be up there competing, you have to be with the likes of Modric and Bale in your squad.
5. Who is your favourite Everton player of all time, and your favourite current player?
Duncan Ferguson is my favourite of all time, just a beast of a striker and a passionate blue, nowadays, Tim Cahill is unplayable on his day and has scored many vital goals for us over the years, he is also a passionate evertonian.

6. What is your favourite Everton v Spurs game of all time?
August 2006, WHL, when Everton won 2-0 with just 10 men on the pitch had a great day out in London and the result was spot on.

7. Rate White Hart Lane out of 10, based not only on the stadium itself but factors you also consider important such as atmosphere and proximity to the pitch.
8/10, famous, atmospheric ground and I always enjoy going there, hopefully saturday's game will be on and I can have another great day out at the lane.

8. What is your score prediction for the match?

1-1, i'll sit on the fence with that one, as to avoid looking a tit.
