Matt Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I know Norwich is first, but I was just thinking about how shit Sunderland where against the barcodes, so thought I'd kick of the thread for a change. This has to be the game to go full throttle. Robles Coleman Stones Mori Galloway Barry Geri Barkley TC Mirallas Rom TC and Ross can take turns dropping a bit deeper (preferably TC) if needed whilst the pace on the wings should be too much for Fat Sams team. This really should be a thumping, a big statement going into our "easier" games. Carpe Jugulum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I love that lineup matt. Has our best players on the pitch. Would like to see baines sub on and Kone get some time as well. COYB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a team that if it clicks, could destroy midtable and below teams. Edited October 27, 2015 by Shukes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Going to be a bit of a novelty for me this game, because I'm laying a wreath for Remembrance Sunday on the pitch before the game, so hopefully get to meet Roberto or a couple of the players!

I'd like to see them both on the field: Kone instead of Mirallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see them both on the field: Kone instead of Mirallas. idea is to have both lightning fast players and players who can link up too. Kone instead of a winger would ruin the balance in my opinion, maybe instead of TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is a few corners, crosses, or maybe even a free kick or two and you'll see Howard "The Flapping Fish" in full aquatic mode.

Matt Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Everton Football Club We will be supporting a fans initiative to mark the passing of Howard Kendall with a period of chanting and applause in the fourth minute of Sundays game against Sunderland. The Everton Giant was laid to rest on Thursday after an emotional funeral service in Liverpools Anglican Cathedral. Fans suggested the mark of respect in the fourth minute, inspired by the number he wore as an Everton player in the late 1960s and early 1970s. An image of Howard will appear on Goodison Parks big screens during the fourth minute of the game. markjazzbassist and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really should be a thumping, a big statement going into our "easier" games. Carpe Jugulum! Back to Matt's thread-starter and his suggested lineup. Interestingly, because the Norwich City match intervened and has led to a debate on the Capital One Cup thread about the importance of the Cup, we've not paid much attention to tomorrow's "must-win." The early-season talk, somewhere, was that if the first ten matches didn't kill us, we could make hay in November and December. But anything other than 3 points tomorrow will constitute a truly dismal start to our journey to, say, 5th in the table on Boxing Day, right? http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2015/10/30/coleman-a-doubt-but-baines-training So Coleman is not likely to be available. Will Roberto simply slot in Browning? Any chance -- whatsoever -- that he'd move Stones to RB, and either use Gibson at RCH or pair up two left-footers in central defense with Oviedo at LB? What about that experiment with Lennon at RB? Give that a go again? Any chance Oviedo starts at LB? Nor is Roberto likely to abandon his 4-2-3-1 setup, which probably means one of Mirallas, Deulofeu, or Cleverley starts on the bench. For all I know, all 3 will be on the bench, with Barkley flanked by two of Lennon, Naismith, and Kone. Any chance Oviedo starts at LW? Must win. So, assuming Howard and 2 DCMs, whom will Roberto start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deacs Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 For me assuming Coleman isn't available I would start Mirallas in place of Naismith and TC in place of McCarthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue 250 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Always nice to beat any team managed by 'Big' Sam ! Play like we did against Norwich and we will be lucky to get a draw. I see this as our first must win of the season, It's going to be a battle, Sunderland will not be as pretty as Norwich were to watch, but they wil be hard to beat for other reasons. Our 'great' win against Chelsea isn't looking so great any more, seems any one can beat them ! Really is important today that we get a win, if Sam comes to Goodison today and out thinks Martinez, I'll be gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I hope there isn't a cancellation for fog as my son and grandson phoned this morning on their way to the game from Nottingham. Big Sam will have seen Howard's weaknesses and you can bet there will be plenty of crosses onto the edge of the six yard box with Fletcher putting himself about.
