Feel like no manager will be able to resist shoe-horning Rooney in though.

I think we've no chance of getting 0

You mean conceding? Because we have zero chance of getting goals for at the moment

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We were missing Vlasic against Chelsea which might have been the deciding factor there. He should be fresh for the weekend and I expect a result.

Kenny - Keane - Jagielka - Baines

Vlasic - Davies - Schneiderlin - Sigurdsson - Mirallas

Niasse
​

I'd like to at least start the game with this. Control the midfield and push the wide men on into the attack when we have the ball. Depending on the situation, I'd sacrifice a midfielder (probably Morgan) for DCL between minute 60-65 if we're drawing or losing (Lookman would be an option to replace one of Vlasic or Mirallas for some fresher legs). If we're winning and we need to shore up, McCarthy or Gana can come on for Sigurdsson to see it out.

Highly unlikely that this would actually happen like, I figure Rooney will be involved in some capacity at least.

I’d be happy for Unsworth to start himself as player manager instead of Williams.

Sigurdsson
Vlasic - Mirallas
Rooney​

Bench: Robles, Holgate, McCarthy, Lookman, DCL, Niasse and Lennon.

Sigurdsson at the base of the diamond linking with IGG and TD and spraying balls wide to Niksi and Mirallas to go hell for leather for 50-55 minutes, Rooney to stay up front and not drop back.

Depending how things are going, on or around the 50-55 minute mark, bring more pace on (probably Lookman and DCL) to further stretch a Leicester defence tired chasing Vlasic and Mirallas around... and maybe Niasse as nobody really knows what he'll do except run around energetically... but get him in or around the area, where he'll cause problems through his sheer unpredictability.

 

[captainvindaloo]

If he picks Williams again, then he loses manager points in my estimation. Either way, we have to go on the offensive and keep the ball well away from our terrified, uncertain defence as much as possible.
Would like to see Lookman start, with a front two of DCL and Niasse.

Not much chance that both sig and Rooney will be left out.

Leicester 2-3 Everton

Or a boring draw

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

An Everton win. I leave the team selection in the very capable hands of our manager Mr. Unsworth.
