Everton v Stoke. Boxing Day at 15.00.

[deipnosophist]

Would you guys take a 10th place finish if we won Europa League?

perhaps if you throw in an FA Cup win as well...

 

[StatesideBlue3]

I think we'll win this. If we get on terms before the hour mark we'll take these apart.

I sense a team well up for it and a crowd who'll push them home all the way.

Couldn't agree more. We need to be less unselfish with our chances!

 

[Seanjd]

It's martinez's fault Naismith offers NOTHING, ZERO, NOUGHT, he's a poacher playing in a CAM position ffs. Sigurdsson on fire again today for swansea that's how it's done get barkley in there running at them with pace ffs

Did you not see him pick out Kev for an almost certain goal?

 

[potato]

if only we had anichebe, he'd make the difference today

 

[R.Reddington]

PANIC ATTACKS EVERYWHERE.

 

[beachy]

mcgeady on for barry.

ross to centre mid.

 

[bainesontoast]

Howard is injured, apparently.

 

[BigBlueConk]

We will need to win a few games yet if we are to finish tenth lads. Don't see that happening too easily.

 

[RFUS]

I'd take 17th surviving on 1 goal difference

To be fair the Champions league money would be negated by the millions we'd lose finishing 12 places lower.

 

[Abraders]

Perhaps last year our defence was solid and organised from what Moyes left, this year it seems that is fading out of the team.

- but what's even worse is that our attacking and passing play compared to last year is literally half as good - which isn't good enough.

 

[Joey66]

We need two wide men to let the full backs have cover - Stoke and other teams know this , and we get caught on the break - bad ref but we have missed to clear chances Barry should have scored his open goal!!

 

[faddy the blue]

Barry's [Poor language removed] up, Coleman not shooting and Mirallas. 3 goals went begging. Guess we deserve it then.

 

[welshtoffee]

Sat up in the top balcony getting cold and totally pissed off with yet another clueless performance

 

[riddick]

They made a comment on the NBC stream that someone asked Roberto about if he would change his tactics after the Hull match and he said 'we were 5th last season, why would we change what was successful last year?'

Except...we DID change what was successful last year. We are not playing the same way at all. How he cant see that is beyond me.

 

[RFUS]

Come on Joel lad.

Howard has been woeful this season so all Robles has to do is be decent. Just be decent, and then keep that overrated, upside-down head, arrogant tit out of the team.
