[Titus Bramble]

Just put a quid on Osman 1st goalscorer at 21/1. Gwarn Leon!

Wouldnt fancy having to listen to Pookie at tea time this evening!

 

[MikeH72]

Tears at that team. Tears

And the funny thing is, that with Lukaku on the bench we probably won't see Niasse get any game time again.

Aye was thinking that mate, can deffo see Barkley and Lukaku getting on before him and probably Pienaar as well. If he gets on you would imagine it will be another 3 minute cameo

Kone

Lol

Osman

Lol

Scenes when Mirallas is playing a floating role next to Kone and Osman is out on the left

Could this be a bit of a farewell match for Osman?

Money in the bank that mate

Farewell? It's the second coming this mate, back in the side to stay from here on in and captain us to the promised land

 

[blue to the bone]

Ross has been poor lately so don't think we will miss him massively. Have him mad for action next week. Besic for Mccarthy peoplw have been looking for here with months.
Barry a big loss. Rom needs a break too..
It's a tricky situation with the Derby and cup semi coming up. Martinez has got into this mess though so time to see now can he handle it at all

 

[Wat Tyler]

You spelt Martinez wrong mate.

 

[Jags..class]

Would have liked to see two of the kids get a chance rather then Osman and Gibson but both will be playing for a contract offer from clubs

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

It's almost funny seeing Kone and Osman start for Everton in 2016.

Changes had to be made and im happy with the 2 wingers picked. Besic gibson and osman can't really do any worse than barkley barry and mcarthy so I think it's worth a try. Kone ahead of niasse is worrying though

Sums it up I think. The midfield have been woeful for too long now, so will be interesting to see how this one fares. The thought of Gibson and Osman is worrying but Barkley and McCarthy have been poor for a while now.

Still can't see us getting more than a draw though!
