Semi Final Build Up Thread

Dont forget Gibbo la

Sorry la, Gibbo is right, one of the reasons Fellaini has been so good of late. Gibbo,s presence allows fellaini to influence more areas of the pitch.

Gibbo and Fellaini will boss the midfield, Heitinga will control the whole team - always confident of a clean sheet when he plays.

I'm worried, I am so ****ing confident and it can't come back to bite me.. we WILL do this!

Im with ye there, But isnt it a nice change to expect our team to show how good they can be, and i also believe, the Sh*te winning tonight helps, as it will make any of our boys who were a bit too cocky focus properly and know that its not gonna be handed to us, we are going to have to earn it.

Just finished editing a few Everton clips into "Singing the Blues" for the official song of my journey down to Wembley with my mates...sad? Maybe, but it will get me in the destroying Liverpool mood. Also downloaded all Everton songs and put them on my ipod to be played on entry into Corley services and Watford

Gibson will score with Liverpool having a dodgy keeper

I really love the optimism lads and really wish I could join you. I won't say what I think as don't want to bring the tone down.

KOFF LBPL

Probably won't happen, but if it comes to pens:

Jelavic
Cahill
Heitinga
Neville
Baines

Pretty strong!

So excited for this game. Cant wait to see the likes of Cahill and Jelavic getting on headers and testing Jones. Gibson shooting from long...Freekicks by Baines. We will win

Its obvious what your thinking. All that has gone on - form wise - red card wise etc, all seems too good to be true. And when good things happen at Everton, it normally goes sour!

Let's **** these deluded pricks up, I hope we bum them hard and raw, I hope it hurts you tossers.

Am excited and fretful in equal measure. But only because it's them. I need to remember that it's a semi final and its importance derives from the opportunity to win the FA Cup. Am trying to forget who its against.

You can rely on it that they'll turn up and play better than recent form has suggested. They always do.

And we can forget any mad theories about refereeing blunders evening up over the season or over any period. Doesn't happen to us against this shower.

So: I'm expecting that we won't get the rub of the green on Saturday.

But I'm nurturing hope....hope that, if we also turn up and play our own game, then we can smash 'em. That's the key. If we give them too much respect and worry about how they play, we'll lose. Play our hearts out but lose.


So victory comes from only worrying about how we play. How we win the ball back in midfield. How we get the ball to Jelavic quickly. How Johnny emerges from a ruck of red on the edge of our penalty area and strokes the ball to Ossie or Leighton and we hit them on the counter.

Play the game our way, don't worry about how they play. Man for man we're better.

Can Moysie drop the habit of a career and stop giving this lot too much respect? I'm not sure.

They were lucky to win tonight. scored by 2 hoofs and abit of luck on the rebound.

We should be fine defending against them, just got to watch out for Suarez...

Gibson will be vital - man mark Gerrard - hack him if you need to. And attacking, yeah their keeper is poor we should score.

 

[trebilcock66]

...And another thing....

I'm looking forward to watching David Moyes giving KK lessons in dealing with the press respectfully.

God knows, i'm no fan of the street of shame but having watched Kenny dealing with the reporter after the Blackburn game, I'm embarrassed for him. Unspeakable arrogance. You've always been like that Kenny. When you were a player, you could afford to be because you were one of the best.

Welcome to the world of management in the 21st Century. Watch Moyse, Kenny. Watch and learn.

I read somewhere that Brad Jones was in goal for the RS in the 2009 cup game. Is that right? Should I be looking at other omens right now???
