Tottenham Hotspur v Everton. 7th April @ 14.05.

Are they ones where instead of giving you money a hand comes out and tickles your balls?

Anyway, just because they've got a few players out, including their best one its still not gonan be easy to go there and win. They still have a decent team but we've got a hell of a chance to do our chances of fourth some good.

I very much doubt we'll see 3-5-2 again here, regular 4-5-1 will do. I;d guess at the line up but it could be anything really (well, the few positions that are doubtful).

3-5-2 worked well last week, kept a clean sheet and won the game. Can't be changing the formation every week, got to keep the same one to let the players adapt to it.

I've read worse previews. Can't see us losing this. 1-1 with 5 mins to, Moyes brings Neville on for Anichebe to make sure of a point. Pip fires in an unstoppable shot to make it 2-1 and Evertonians around the world jizz spontaneously.

Everton ought to have a right go at the Totts. They are a bit depressed after their Euro game. I'd go four at the back and really speed it up.

3-5-2 didn't work well last week as such. Because football, tactics and formations aren't as simple as worked=win, didn't work = loss. At times the players didn't seem to sure what to actually do, and Stoke really should have scored at least once which would have changed thinking totally.

Not that it was a distaster, it served its main purpose of allowing us to win the majority of long balls up to their forwards, and yeah, i'd like to see it used more to allow the players to get the hang of it (as long as we use it properly).

But away to Spurs right now isn't the right game to play it, you change your formations depending on opposition rather than stick to the same thing over and over again (4-5-1).

And i'm pretty sure we'd be better off with 4-5-1 on Sun.

They struggled because they weren't use to it. We'll go back to normal once Felli and Pienaar are back but that formation did work attacking wise. We had more options going forward and could have scored 3 or 4 in the first half. Mirallas plays better in that formation as well.

2-1 to the champions league qualifiers from merseyside.

Its one game mate, and playing it at home to Stoke is completly different to playing it away to Spurs.

Same as playing 4-5-1 away to Man U is differernt to playing 4-5-1 at home to Reading.

I don't think you meant any racist slur. However, it would be remiss of us not to let you know that the expression is considered racist nowadays and will cause offense. If that's not your idea I would recommend you refrain from using it in future.

Have you been drinking today mate? It was not me. Think you need to have read back.

Our defence has been rock solid last few games though. Defo change it if it isn't going well and we're getting battered. All I want us to do is try it out for the first 20 minutes or so.

 

[arch stanton]

spuds are without some decent attacking players, I'd go for Tim H in goal and everyone else up front. We'd smash 'em

Jelavic, this is your time.

P****d off with this. Wasn't even me who said anything racist and I'm getting mentored by someone. Apology needed from Jamo.

I think you just need to accept some people may find it offensive and leave it at that mate, no point going into denial about it.

Just thought we'd let you know that the word you used isnt acceptable. Chill.

Haha. I have no idea at all where this Jamo fella picked up it was me. However the whole tone of his post was patronising. When in fact it wasnt even me. Hahaha
