Match Thread Middlesbrough vs Everton - Sat 11 Feb, 15:00

[toffeeblue9]

Low scoring game

Boro have the joint 4th best defensive record in the league (we should defo sign that Ben Gibson in the summer) alongside ourselves

1-0 wins it either way

Think we will outplay these pretty easily ... have actually watched boro a few times this season and they are not a quality team at all.. reminds me of us before Moyes... this is Everton tho and out playing them doesn't mean we will win.. saying that... I'm going for 3-1 Everton

I think it was probably the mid 1980's when I last felt as optimistic before a game, we are beginning to look very good in all departments. That said, Boro will offer little going forward so we will have to work hard top break them down, 0-2 Everton.

 

[GwladysBlue]

If we score first, then I'm confident of a win.

Robles
Holgate, Williams, Funes Mori
Coleman, Schneiderlin, Barry, Gana, Baines
Barkley, Lukaku

This is my predicted line up

No way! we need more support around Lukaku so Barkley on his own won't be enough..Lookman, Mirallas or Davies will be in the team for sure.

I see him starting Barry and then bringing Davies on in the second half

It was also the most difficult fixture. Wouldn't read too much into that stat. If you told me before hand which of those 5 games would we be most likely to drop points in, it would have been stoke away.

You expected to beat Man City more than you did Stoke?

 

[Woolly Blue]

We'll smash these.

Looks like it'll be freezing though.

We are going to take these people to the cleaners. They're nothing.

Everton are "simply the best".

 

[b-rad]

1-1 for this one.

Niasse playing against Arsenal in the early kick off
Cleverley playing against his old team Man U as well


Lets hope both are loan players do us a massive favour tomorrow

Fancy Boro to have to come at us tomorrow, crowd will get on there backs massively if they don't - even a draw could see them slip into the bottom 3 tomorrow - so at some point there gonna have to sod off there safety first style and start trying to win at home. If they do that against us think that we will crucify them - fancy us either way though 3 or 4-1

 

[PeregrineT]

I think considering that Boro are likely to pack it in all game, and not offer much attacking threat, I think we are going to go with a heavier attacking lineup.

Robles
Holgate Williams Mori
Coleman Schneid Barkley Gana Baines
Lookman Lukaku

We need more players who will press up into the attack in order to break them down, which means going forward likely we will have 6 players in and around the box.

 

[gonetomorrow]

We will win.

Relax.
