Everton v Stoke City. 28th Dec at 1500.

[Duncan Disordely]

Naismith (Norwich rumours) and Osman (Hibs rumour) on the bench to give them a Goodison farewell cameo?

 

[Darth Vader]

There front three will ruin out back 4 today

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Baines must have a little knock, only explanation for him being on the bench.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Possibly, nothings been mentioned though. He has his reasons, that's why he gets paid a fortune and i rant on the internet.

Are you not paid a fortune for ranting?

 

[Khalekan]

Welcome to Everton Tom Cleverley. That's what you get for playing well. Know your place.

I would imagine the reason that both The Clev and Baines are not starting today is because they are still feeling their way back to full match fitness after long injury absences.

It is less than forty eight hiurs since these players walked off a heavy pitch at Newcastke and their bodies are not yer re-attuned to such a rigourous schedule.

Got me that as well. If/when GD goes off, there is literally nothing to slot in there other than a shore up of midfield. Not that I can see anyrate.

 

[roydo]

Thinking it'll probably mean Kone coming to the right and Cleverley being put out left to help cover Galloway. Not very inspiring but we'll see.

Not exactly inspiring that is it?

Their, our

Galloway vs Shaqiri is begging for trouble to be honest. Where is Baines?

he looked out on his feet Saturday as did cleverly, both changes 100 % needed in my view and kone was always going to get a game over Christmas. very happy with this line up

So sad that it is a joke and reality at the same time.

Haha thus my edit after turning that over in my mind for a millisecond.

I bloody wish, unfortunately it for free just for your pleasure lol

 

[toffeejack]

I don't understand it at all, not like they need resting. I think it may be goodbye Kev also. Shame, I like Mirallas.

nah. nothing would have happened in the last 24 hours that means he was starting and now is off. same treatment as lennon who is not off.
