Everton 1-2 Bolton. 4th Jan @ 20.00.

[Arteta2391]

1-0. The Everton Way.

 

[Phenom]

I got to this part,

For the second consecutive game we fielded a line up more awkward than 115 pages of racism

I cant read no more because i'm buckled laughing!!

Just saw Fox's note that we expect Drenthe back on Wednesday after "illness." I think that means he starts. Which means we're back to having wingers.

So...

Howard
Hibbo - Jags - Heitinga - Baines
Rodwell - Fellaini
LD - Osman - Drenthe
Saha

Seeming more likely, no? Changed to a 4-2-3-1 versus my post before.

Even without two strikers (i.e. no target forward) this line-up has me excited. We've got a reasonably rested Rodwell, a newly returned Fellaini, a rested LD and Drenthe.

Not bad, right? Should beat Bolton easily.

Good stuff, Kay!

I'll cry when it doesn't happen, as a team without Neville or Cahill in it, given both are even 50% fit to play, is not your typical David Moyes team.

I was shocked when Neville was taken out at the half today. And with another game in three days, I just don't see him starting at his age. I think Moyes may just bend to reality on this one.

And with Rodwell and Fellaini coming back to health, I just don't see Neville staying in the starting XI. Now, if either isn't ready, I see Distin going in the back, and Heitinga moving forward over Neville.

Cahill hurt himself today seemed like, and again, game in three days. I think he just might be a sub and we could see him again in the FA cup game.

At least, I hope so.

The line-up I proposed at least had the reality of Osman centrally and Saha.

 

[Blue for you]

great write up again i do look forward to your preview on the game's
i would like to see a change up front Anichebe might not be fit enough to start but Strq should get a start
Saha is cruel and needs to be bench.

if Fellaini and Drenthe are fit they could start Landon on the bench and will start in the FA Cup tie again Tamworth
i think we wil win this 2 nil with Rodwell and Anichebe from the bench again to score.

any word on Coleman is he nearly fit with Landon here and Gueye doing well plus Anichebe can do a job out wide it could
be a while before we see seamus start a game, and Tony Hibbert has been one of Everton's best players this season so
seamus won't get a game right back to handy

Howard
Hibbert Jags Distin Baines

Drenthe Rodwell heitinga Donovan

Saha Straq

Attack these from the off, we look a lot better when we are attack teams and have attacking players on the pitch, proved it against West Brom, brought strikers on and we looked a lot better

 

[georgeissa7]

cant see donovan starting immediately !

think he'll be a sub

hope to see osman as a second striker instead of cahill..

 

[Matt Damon]

I wasn't going to be able to make the game due to business.

However as Landon Donovan is back. I've rearranged everything else and will be in attendance to welcome the lid back.

(+1 on the gate, already).

come on you blues!

That's what I like to hear, commitment!

 

[Idioteque]

2-1 and as stated above, the grand old Everton way.

 

[ijjysmith]

I hope we smash them. I have a real dislike for Bolton. It's not based on anything, but I do hate them.


I've also forgotten what it's like to smash another team.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Smash Notlob 1-0 and get a point away to the Spuds and I would be very happy.
