Everton 3-1 Sheffield United. Wednesday 24th August @ 20.00

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

I'd put 2 up front, the mascot and the Toffee Lady as they are the only 2 to stick it in the Gwlady's St net at every home game.

Can't see it being any worse tha Saturday..can it?

A 1-0 win. to us

 

[faddy the blue]

With what we've got right now I'd like us to go with either:

Howard
Neville Jagielka Distin Baines
Fellaini Rodwell
Barkley Arteta Osman
Saha​

or

Howard
Neville Jagielka Distin Baines
Barkley Fellaini Arteta Osman
Beckford Saha​

But both of those formations require Cahill to be dropped so I'd say it's unlikely. Although it is a cup game so who knows.

The problem with the first one is that if we lose then the fans will complain that Moyes was too defensive with 6 defensive minded players.

 

[Summerskin]

I'm actually gutted i've paid £16 to see this.

 

[MoJo]

Will this be televised? Considering gettin' up mighty early to McStream the match.

 

[ganistuk]

After the QPR result and the backlash from the fans, the players will be hurting and I expect a reaction big time. BIG TIME.


Sheff Utd 1 - 0 Everton

This game does have the feeling of the 'Reading' cock-up last year waiting to happen all over-again - although hopefully we got that kind of performance out our system on Saturday.

We don't get these kind of performances out of our system until March.

 

[efcgirl]

i can see us getting beat to these after last saturday

 

[Blue for you]

its about time moyes plays a striker that can score if given a fair run in the team thats the Yak
enough of this Beckford sh.t up front on his own if Yak is still at the club play him we might even
get good money for him if he plays and scores.

Can't see and don't particularly want Barkley playing midweek after getting so knackered on Saturday.

Like chico, I can see the prospect of a gasping Nigerian on the right and a dawdling Bily somewhere behind the forwards (he's not banned for this, correct?). And maybe a sneaky Greek, McAleny and Baxter on the bench with appearances for one or two of them.

 

[chicoazul]

I wasn't sure if Bily was suspended for this hence me swerving the whole subject! Not that he'd make much difference anyway.

What I didn't know is that Barkley qualifies for Nigeria too.

 

[Muggins]

SkySports are showing Exeter v the RS.

 

[steken1]

Play the kids, not because anyone needs a rest just because their all probably better than the adults.

Forshaw right wing would do with Baxter, Vellios and Mustafi getting a chance would do me

 

[gibbergibb]

Just hope it is a positive performance!

Might be worth checking who doesn't get to play 90 minutes in the reserves match this afternoon?
