I have the worst hangover in the world and I'm on the bus to go see Koné try and play football

Niasse must be absolutely shocking to not get a start today.

What a trash lineup. At this stage in the season and at this stage in their careers, there is no reason for Gibson and Osman to start. Give the youngsters a chance.

Having said that, I kind of hope Barkley and Lukaku don't see the field. Make them hungry to get back in action. Even though they know they're automatic selections anyway.

Brave man.

Why not start Niasse ahead of Kone ffs?

Even if he really is crap surely there's no point in starting Kone?

If he's more crap than Kone then there's no point having him on the books. Sadly, this team selection suggests exactly that.

Naismith would start at either 10 or centre forward today and we'd be stronger for it either way.

Niasse must be absolutely shocking to not get a start today.

The signing is too much Mike Basset for my liking.

We've probably bought a goalkeeper thinking he was a striker.

 

[Still]

Not far off the team I proposed yesterday. Pienaar in for Osman and 442 and I'd have been delighted really. Oh, except Kone. He can sod off, obviously.

Wish we could have Jelavic back for the day in this team

Did Niasse shag Martinez's missus when he landed from Russia or something?

Pookie would be raging...

Huge pressure on Mirallas and Deulofeu today - they have the ability to win this game for us, but they have to do it inside 60 minutes... because Martinez will haul them both off at that point regardless.

In all seriousness, we have a chance with this team. Just got to hope that the likes of Mirallas, Osman and Besic have had enough of Martinez and decide to have blinders just so they can stick two fingers up at the manager.

I do feel like I've witnessed a miracle though - Gibson fit to play!

Tbh mate you probably should have saved getting smashed for tonight haha

 

[bluestevon]

So Kone picked ahead of a 14m signing
Osman picked ahead of Dowell a lad in great form and an academy prospect
and an out of contract in a few weeks Gibson picked ahead of given Davies or another academy product a chance to show if he is ready

Glad we have such an ambitious manager whose not afraid to take risks and give players a chance

 

[maccavennie]

Pookie would be raging...

Pookie is well gonna bin him off, no way will Pookie wanna be associated with such a crap fella blagging to be a togger player. I'm expecting him to be working at the showcase cinemas in about 5 months time telling us how he blagged 5 months worth of wedge out of Everton.

Good luck lads! Hopefully some hungry players prove a few people wrong.

Gibbo looks like he's always hungry, the fat drink-driving sod.
