Everton Vs. Blackburn Rovers - Aug 25th (home)

[heatmeiser]

I've got a feeling Fads will play an absolute blinder. 2, maybe 3 goals. But maybe its just cause he makes my tummy feel all funny when i see him.....except when he had that horrible rats tail thing obviously. Yack.

 

[FCConnecticut]

faddy coming back from injury (and knackered from a mid week trip to South Africa for scotland - I think)

Lukas thingy - far too young for the rough and tumble of Blackburn

AJ - should make a recovery. Everyone who can play decent footy with an english passport has been mysteriously dropping like flies this week. Hopefully its just that.

So AJ and faddy up front if Moyes doesn't go all 4-5-1 on our asses.

Are they entitled to time off before and after the international matches??

AJ has fluid on the knee and isn't going to play too soon (not saying for too long either at this point).

 

[McBain]

i don't think that hibbert will play i think if baines is fit he'll replace hibbert or neville will go to defence and pienaar will come in to midfield.

Moyes has a lot of faith in Hibbo. Hes quick and thats what theyll need against MGP. Its not like Moyes to throw someone straight in, and I'd be looking for Baines on the 65 minute mark, and only if we are up.

 

[Sim]

What about giving Da Silva a part in this game? Apparently he's been pretty good in pre-season, may be worth a shot? At least towards the end of the match?

Aj has fluid on his knee. Darren Bent is injured. Stevie G has a sprain, the list is endless. About ten players have withdrawn from the england squad.

watch how many will play for their clubs at the weekend. I suggest the majority of them.

Aj shold be back; hopefully this fluid on the knee thing is a cursory excuse and nothing that will genuinely affect his place in the everton team.

Players are entitled to sleep on the plane/coach before and after internationals.

looks like I was wrong. The eng;and camp sent him back. Which means he actually is injured.

Looking like;

------------Howard------------
Jags----Yobo-----Stubbs--Lescott
------------SuperCars-----------
Arteta---Neville---Manny?-Osman
--------------Faddy----------------

if manny is cleared to play. Squad is getting threadbare to an unprecedented degree.

Fixed it for you

What about


------------Howard-------------
---------Yobo---Lescott--------
Hibbert-------------------Baines
------SuperCars---Neville-------
------------Manny--------------
Arteta---------------------Osman
-----------Yakubu----------------

Worth a shout?

 

[TX Bill]

I say Faddy still earned a start.

Pair him up front with Yakubu.

.............Howard................

Neville...Yobo...Stubbs....Lescott

Arteta....Carsley....Pienaar....Osman

........Yakubu........McFadden.....

 

[FCConnecticut]

Close, just put Manny in the middle and you've got it. And I thought Baines was reaady?

 

[Sim]

So it looks like Yakubu is out now, so up front it will probably be Johnson and McFadden. Baines is fit so will probably replace Valente, and Osman hasnt trained for a week so we might see Pienaar getting a start:

............Howard...................
Neville....Yobo....Lescott....Baines

Arteta....Carsley.....Fernandex...Osman

........Johnson.....McFadden

 

[Cal]

Fernandes wont be signed in time mate.

 

[jagler]

3-1 to the bluemen...back on track...cahill, vaughan, and manny score.....i mean, aj, lescott off a corner, and aj again--then we can all get off his back! COYB

 

[Namdrater]

[Poor language removed] I read the injury doubts now, AJ, Osman, Yobo, Anichebe. Who the [Poor language removed] is going to score the goals? Hopefully AJ and Anichebe can come through fit, but its not guaranteed

 

[Dom1878]

if yobo is out either jagielka or baines is in - so not that bad
if johnson is out weve got mcfadden, juciewitz maybe anichebe
If osman is out pienaar will start...

not a bad squad if its the worst scenario, i think if we brought in the youngster he would try to prove himself, try abit harder etc...

Im going for a 2-0 victory to us...Mcfadden and jagielka the scorers, with Neville MoM with 2 assits
