Sunderland v Everton. 9th Nov at 13.30.

Let them rotate on the pitch Dave. Eto'o and Barkley swapping through the game will drive them bonkers.

Plus Naisy the Ghost coming off the bench.

That'll scare them.

In reality that's what will happen yeah.

Formally I'd hate to see Barkley start wide. I think it just doesn't put your best foot forward.

Much rather see Eto'o out wide and have Ross in the middle, but I don't see it happening somehow.

Rom is a terrible target man! He has his strengths, obviously but playing as a target man is deffinitely not one of them!

Didnt mean it literally, he's no good at holding the ball up. Meant more he has to be the focal point of out attack, need to get him involved as much as possible!

Not on tv?

Nail on the head. Can't wait for his return.

We have other quick players but so few use their pace well. McGeady is more about taking people on -- or trying to and Atsu is just... well I have no idea what he's trying to do. And I don't think he does either. Mirallas can open teams up with ease and we'll always miss a player of his ability.

Mirallas plays - Lukaku plays. Does an awful lot of work opening the pitch up for Lukaku.

Hope we don't get dragged down to Sunderland's level of crapness today.

Pienaar injured again? Absolute joke that lad lately if he's crocked again

 

[bluegirl]

Imagine:

Kev Barkley Naismith/Eto'o
Lukaku

Some attack that.

True. Football is all about partnerships. Barry/James, Baines/Pienaar etc and he links up better with Rom than anyone else.

Though with Barkley back we'll hopefully see their dynamic develop too.

 

[bluegirl]

Vital we score first else the bus will arrive...

 

[bizzaro]

Imagine:

Kev Barkley Naismith/Eto'o
Lukaku

Some attack that.

woooah

 

[sageyefc]

Would rather see eto'o behind Rom than ross. Would imagine the front 4 will be constatnly moving around though

 

[Del]

Another tight display at the back please blues

 

[RFUS]

Imagine:

Kev Barkley Naismith/Eto'o
Lukaku

Some attack that.

Still makes me laugh seeing things like that. How far Naismith has come for it to be considered an actual choice between him and SAMUEL FECKING ETO'O.

It shows how our top priority in January should be getting in another wide player.

I miss having Deulfeuo (dont think I can spell!) He was frustrating at times but it gave us plenty of options to change things out wide which we are lacking this season.
