Starting X1 V Wigan Straq or Jelavic ?

[Dixies60]

Thats the big decision as well as Drenthe or Pienaar and maybe Distin or Hibbert.

Thoughts ?

Stracq, and Jelavic in the second half.

What's a x1 btw?

 

[somuchfun]

I have an LG Optimus x2. Or 2X I'm not sure. When I first read about it it was X2 but now it's 2X. Go figure. Anyway I should've waited for SGII anyway. Ffs Kev.

Hibbert Distin Heitinga Baines

Drenthe Fellaini Gibson Pienaar

Straq Jellytime

Both Straq and Jelavic. 4-4-2.

Never going to happen though.

It will be 4-5-1 with 7 defenders on...

Opps. my positivity is slipping back!

Come on Davey, lets take the game to them and ATTACK!!!

wigan can't defend crosses. this should be our main attack, get down the side of them and whip the ball in for strac and an advancing midfield.

Stracq has a good header in him, and supposedly Jelavic is the same, so let's see how that goes.

Another 5 assists for Landon Bronovan, I guess.

If Pienaar is fit i think he will start and Drenthe will be the one to start with Royston replacing him after an hour.

That's a lot of Roy. But I imagine you are saying that Fodders will get the nod and either him or nuts will be subbed for Drenthe.

Do you mean that Pienaar and Donovan will start and then Drenthe will come on after about an hour? That's probably a good guess but I suispect that Peanut will be the one replaced as he won't be match fit yet.

Same team for me that played against city apart from peanuts instead of gibson

 

[bullensview]

Gibbo and Felli holding, rw Donovan, lw Pienaar, Drenthe free role behind Jelly - straq on late to harrass defence

 

[Pblueman]

Against wigan i would put Duffy in again ,,,,, Howard, Hibbert, Duffy, Hietinga, Baines, Donovan (RM), Felli, Cahill, Peinaar(LM), Straq, Jelly

I'd agree with that, maybe Jelavic instead of Straq if he's actually good.

We can play a proper formation now as well!

Jelavic
Drenthe Donovan
Pienaar Cahill
Fellaini
​

Come on Everton.

That could work...but I would probably put Straq on to start. Once he has roughed up the defenders for 70 minutes, Jelly can come on and try to score a goal. His fresher legs and finishing ability should then be decisive.
