Great preview, particularly the end...

But then that's always the best bit as I don't have to read any more.

Personally would go Kone left Deulofeu right and then either Lennon on for Del to sure things up later on or Mirallas on for Kone to finish them off.

I thought Coquelin was superb against Munich and has developed into a fine player, given the riches alongside him it's far easier for him to just play the disciplined role, where as one of macarthy or barry need to realise you can't win the midfield battle by both of you sitting in from of defense playing risk free sideways balls when you get it, and hoping Ross does something spectacular, for all the talk of 'getting into them' I've seen little evidence of that sorry of attitude from our CM partnership

Excellent post Chico, a really good read.......we'll batter these 2-1........

Beats earphones hanging round their necks but not plugged into any device

I've seen this. In real life. Unbelievable.

8-0 Everton.

Great write up martin samuel.
I would take a draw now.
Only positive for me is the bayern game will have taken a lot out of them.
Hope there is no start for naismith and howard sorts himself out.

turned the game off when we went 2-0 down on saturday, couldn't be arsed with the sh!thouse performance on that particular day.

Think that's a bit harsh to be honest. From what I have heard from several sources the game should never have been played such was the reaction to Howard's news.

 

[TomDixie]

They are considerably better than us.

You are possibly correct, I don't believe it didn't affect the staff. I turned off more in frustration because I wanted them to do Howard proud but yes I concede it must have been difficult.

This whole affair totally depends on which Everton turn up.

The crap, boring, unadventurous, lacking belief, defensive, timid, crap lukaku team


or

the exciting, attacking,fluid,confident,dynamic great Lukaku team.

Roberto - it's up to you.

 

[Nymzee]

Let's face it it's going to be another 4-2-3-1 with Naismith out left and no support for Rom. GG 3-0 to them.

Yeh very predictable

 

[matty1878]

Unless the midfield support rom the 3 (behind) it's another defeat. Arsenal will dominate possession so whatever chances we do get we must take them.

 

[malfosse]

Nice one Chico, especially liked the poignant ending. I remain forever the optimist, 2-0 to the mighty Blues.
