XI against Shelski

[Kay20]

Cant do better than the Pipster.

His assist was a beaut, gotta give him that. Watching him get burned on the right gave me heartburn.

 

[Divver]

They added an extra minute for the time it took that cross to reach Jags

 

[Ehrlin]

My guess:
Howard
Neville Jags Distin Baines
Heitinga Hitzlsperger
Naismith Osman Pienaar
Jelavic

Would prefer this midfield:
Osman Hitzlsperger
Pienaar Barkley Oviedo

 

[Brennan]

They added an extra minute for the time it took that cross to reach Jags

If it took an hour they'd have to add an hour mate x

 

[aardvark]

If Gibson isn't fit, I would move neville to central midfield, can Oviedo play right back?

I hope lampard plays, the pensioners battle between him and neville would be hilarious.

You would think that Oviedo can play right back, there are plenty of examples of right footed left backs (Pat van den Hauwe for one) so i dont see why he couldnt play there.
If nothing else at least he can run which is more than Neville could do yesterday

 

[Southall]

If hes fit, Coleman will start. He terrorized Cole in past games at home and Moyes will remember that, deffo a starter if fit.

Everton 2 Chelsea 0. Jelavic brace.

 

[Tez]

Howard

Hibbert Jagielka Distin Baines

Neville Gibson
Anichebe Osman Pienaar

Jelavic

Going to need Hibbo against the likes of Hazard and Mata, rather than Coleman who would be targeted for sure. Anichebe to bully Cole too, rather than Naismith.

Anything we get out of this will be a bonus.

 

[toffeechris]

howard
coleman
jags
distin
baines
naismith
neville (capt)
ossie

[Dublintoff]

It,ll probably be:

​

Howard

​

Neville Jags Distin Baines

​

Heitinga Hitz

​

Naismith Osman Pienaar

​

Jelavic

​

 

[carolinablue232]

What I'd like to see...

Howard

Coleman Jags Distin Baines

Gibson Neville

Barkley Osman Pienaar

Anichebe

Jelly needs a rest or wake up call, and Vic has done a job this year when called upon.

 

[mawders]

i think this is straightforward

Howard
Neville Jags Distin Baines
Naismith Osman Hitz/Gibson Pienaar
Vic
Jelavic

we'll either smash them 1-0, or get bum-raped

 

[pablo315]

Moyes will not consider 4-4-2 against their midfield. I expect him to go for the following. Osman will be the one with the remit to get forward but he will spend most of his time in midfield. It's gonna be a lonely old day for jelavic. Howard. Jags. Heit. Distin. Baines. Anichibe. Hitz. Neville. Peinaar osman. Jelavic

 

[Christiffa25]

Missing too many players, Chelsea in form and managed by that bell whiff...

Our un deafeated home record will go this weekend.

We've won both our Xmas game. Will be happy if we can pick up a win and a defeat from Chelsea and Newcastle games. Rather that than 2 draws. Can see us loosing both tho...

Oh where has my Xmas cheer gone!?!?

 

[evertony]

The main thing for me is Shay Cole hopefully coming back in, solves a lot of problems for us.

I'd probably go with something like:

Cole Jag Dis Baines
Osman Hitz
Anichebe Pienaar Oviedo
Anichebe
​

Big Vic's Ma up top....interesting and certainly mess Rafael's marking permutations for corners and free-kicks....but I just don't see Moyles having the courage to do it. It's obvious really to anyone who watches us regular but will the Gaffer totally miss it as usual.....Moynes out. McLeish in.

 

[evertony]

I'd be sitting someone right on Luiz wherever he's poncing about -always got a mistake in him. Keeping Ivanovic tightly marked on corners important too.

One- nil........Mr Jelavic
