Stoke City v Everton. 15th Dec @ 15.00.

They will do everything in there power to kick lumps out of our players and try and make the game as scrappy as possible and thats what i'm worried about, but if we can get the ball on the floor and knock it about and put them under pressure from the start we can do these.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Neither I or death said any different - all death said was that Fellaini will be playing up top alongside Jelavic for the majority of the game, whether he's ineffective or not. And that's true; Moyes doesn't change things early. No criticism, just clear fact about how he manages games tactically.

He'll change it when we go a goal down, he won't change it to go a goal up but will hope that his original plan does that, a lot of the time it does, soemtimes it doesn't.

Until we're 20 points clear at the top of the table i'll always find stuff to pick on that i think Moyes isn't doing right, not cause i'm "negative" but cause i'll always want better.

Although i don't think saying if plan a isn't working we should try plan c is being negative or moaning really.

Going to be interesting to see Moyes tactics. If I were a manager I'd love to prepare for this game. They are not top of the league, they don't play good football, we know what they do do, so how can we beat them.

Big test for Moyes today in my opinion.

I also find it a bit cringeworthy but in the grand scheme of life, I can live with it.

He's Moyes until he does soemthing wrong than he's moist. With the occasional MoYlEz thrown in.

When we got to the FA Cup Final? We played well better football. Not being a snob as each to their own and they did make the final the year after too

At times we revert back to it like it's a security blanket.

Debate for another day, but there's long spells of some games we go very agricultural.

Haha true.

I would hope for Fellaini pushed back with Gibson, with this in front..

Naismith - Pienaar - Oviedo

Not sure if I'm getting older, but in finding myself agree with Davek like all the time at the minute.
