I dont think even Moyes would try playing that at home, against Bolton

Hes played 4-5-1 all the time at home? why would it being bolton make any difference

Donovan has to start against bolton, he's not with us for long so we need him to be playing as much as he can, he will offer us pace, skill and he can score.

3 defensive mids mate. 4-5-1 isn't necessarily defensive. For example:

Howard
Coleman-Jagielka-Heitinga-Baines
Fellaini-Osman
Drenthe-Barkley-Donovan
Anyone-other-than-Saha​

That teams a whole different kettle of fish to the one you posted. Will Moyes play it? No. But I doubt he'll go as far in the other direction as the team you posted either

Yep Donovan winner catapults him to messiah status

At home to such a gash team I'd like to see (bearing in mind injuries):

Howard
Hibbert Jagielka Distin Baines
Heitinga Rodwell
Drenthe Osman Donovan
Saha​

That team would absolutely demolish them. Alas I suspect we'll see a lot less positivity and way more defenders/players out of position. Hopefully though the last game has made Moyes realise what a bit of positivity can do, and what 3 defensive midfielders can't do, and he'll surprise us all.

Have a feeling Moyes will start Victor he has a serious boner for that lad

I like Vic as a lid and I was made up for him yesterday, but he's still always been sh*te up front and unlike so many fickle Evertonians I'm not going to flip my opinion around based on one game.

Do you think Landon will start fox?

Would be nice if Moyes picked a team to go out and stuff Bolton

[The Equaliser]

It's worth remembering that Donovan had a fairly average finish to the MLS season by all accounts. so we're hardly going to see fireworks from him.
