Everton v Cardiff City. 15th March at 15.00.

[Ring master]

I think 2-0,as ever we will probably make hard work of it for a time.

 

[Nobody]

I think McGeady is gonna start on the left today.

What makes you think that?

I don't think Pienaar is fully fit.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I don't think Pienaar is fully fit.

Interesting as well

I'd be intrigued to see Geades on the left actually

Even if Pienaar is fully fit, maybe rest him anyway?

Give him a week to recharge and let Geades get 70-90 minutes under his belt

I'd be fine with that

Yes it'll be good to see more of him and to see how he can influence a game from the start.
He's been here long enough to be fit enough to start and if he isn't then there's a problem with his condition.

Has he started a game for us yet? What game was it when he hit the post at the park end? Was that Villa?

Anyway, it's hard to judge his performances from sub appearances as it takes 10 minutes to get into the game and he's only getting that.

I've got my normal "bad feeling about this one" tbh...

We struggle to break teams down when they just turn up to defend, and can you really see Cardiff doing anything more than that?

 

[Oviedo37]

I want 5.

arsenal will probably beat spurs. sheerwood has looked lost against any decent team he's faced, the fluke win vs us his only good result i think.

been tonked by chelsea and city

Fair point. I've been thinking the same myself tbh.

 

[paulbefc]

Early goal and I reckon these might crumble tbh. Having Lukaku back, rested and slotting should count for a lot.

It's been way too long since we embarrassed a team in the league. Come on blues.

 

[ijjysmith]

SMITHY'S STARTING 11

Howard
Coleman - Stones - Distin - Baines
Barry - McCarthy
Mirallas - Barkley - McGeady
Lukaku

Maybe Osman in for Barkley cos well y'know, he's got that voodoo curse over all our managers.
​

*please note this is not based on any ITK type knowledge nor is it based on what I'd pick. Just the most likely team I reckon.

 

[bicycleheader]

Good one Chico!

Go all out for an early goal here to open them up or we might be in for a frustrating day. Barkley potshots galore please!

Ill go for 4-0 and the team below.

Howard
Coleman - Stones - Distin - Baines
Barry - McCarthy
McGeady - Barkley - Pienaar
Lukaku
​

 

[toffeejack]

I'd go

Howard
Coleman Stones Distin Baines
Mirallas Barkley McCarthy Delafeou
Naismith
Lukaku
​

give delafeou a bit of a confidence boost and bring on pienaar/mcgeady on if he doesn't take it.

 

[neil999]

no need for centre backs against these..
