Quite early for this (the international break) 

 

nonetheless, what do people wish for?

Courtois

Dave - Zouma - Cahill - Rahman

Fabregas - Matic

Pedro - Kenedy - Hazard

Costa

Hopefully will be a new signing between now and then but I wouldn't hold my breath.

If oscar isn't back, then I agree with that team. 

I'm sorry, I'd love to be positive, but I can't see us winning this and it's a must win game, a point will be pointless.

Our defence is atrocious and needs to be fixed. I'd honestly say that Everton are the favourites now.

 

Ivan and Fabregas need to go and I'd be inclined to bring in Rahman and one of Mikel or RLC. Then just tell them all to sit there and don't even bother venturing into the opposite half. I'd happily take a nil - nil bore draw just to get a clean sheet and some confidence.

 

Let's build from the back by doing what we do best, parking the bus! If we can get a couple of clean sheets then we can move forward from there.

Not confident at all with this. Our defense seems to be awful and Ivan needs to be dropped I think Jose needs to pick up or we could see him possibly be sacked soon sadly.

Tough game, with our current form I can't even name us favorites here. But in my heart we always will, we have to improve our football and finally back to play like we played last season.

 

I'd like to see this:

 

Courtois

 

Azpi

Zouma

Terry

Baba 

 

RLC

Matic

 

Pedro

Oscar

Hazard

 

Costa

Courtois

 

Azpilicueta

Zouma

Terry

Rahman

 

Matic

Oscar

 

Pedro

Fabregas

Hazard

 

Costa

 

Ivanovic out, we can't keep playing him, he is our biggest weakness.

 

Oscar in, but playing next to Matic. Play Fabregas behind the striker because i don't think Fabregas can play deep in this formation anymore, he has been found out. He leaves too many holes and doesn't have the pace or strength to make up the ground.

I suspect Jose will start with virtually the exact same team, once again.

Bran and Dave to start. Oscar for William. Rambo next to Matic.

Therefore, Everton to win ... comfortably.

I fully expect Mournho to pick the exact same team that he started against Palace today with the exception of Terry in for Zouma.

If that is the selection and the pivot stays, I expect Everton to win it by the odd goal or an unlikely score draw.

Mikel, our lord and saviour. 

Guide us from this dark path.

 

Forgive those who have sinned,

And prove yourself once more.

 

Where there is no composure, you are the shining light.

Where there is no protection, you are the line in the sand.

 

We will wait on you and not despair,

We will quietly wait for your salvation

 

Our spirits are crushed, 

but we know that you will not abandon us forever.

 

Help us through the pain,

so that we will hope in you again.

 

Amen.

I've never been in the 'lets slag John Obi Mikel off at all times and make him the scapegoat for all woes' club. Mikel's a defensive player, our defence is sh*te, so let's play him.

after seeing everton vs spurs (not all the game mind you) if we don't beat them then we should just wave the white flag outside the etihad; they are really not that good, but we will inevitably make them look like world beaters. please, jose, after the last week or so you can't give them the satisfaction of rubbing a good result in our faces.

If we do end up signing Stones, this game will be fiery.

even if we don't sign him, it will be fiery. they don't like us (more so mourinho) now and every game is "f**k off mourinho!" so i expect us to get a lot of abuse from them. it might actually drive the team on to beat the f**kers 6 something again. 

               Courtois

 

Azpi - Zouma - Cahill - Rahman

 

           Matic - RLC

 

   Pedro - Hazard - Kenedy

This team would be great to watch.

JT will start I'm sure.

Drop fabregas, matic and hazard. You say this last season and we would all call you mad!! Now the only thing i would disagree with you about is that falcao should start not costa!

Too bad our disintegration started so early on in the season.

 

I have absolutely no hope for our team. It's a write off as far as the PL is this season. 

 

Better luck in other competitions perhaps.

Courtios

Brana

Cahill

Jt

Azpilequata

Cesc

Matic

Ramires

Pedro

Hazard

Costa

My expected team for this game.

Just not confident about this at all.

 

Our defense is porous, our midfield is lethargic and we're facing what will be an incredibly hostile home crowd.

 

We're losing this game.

 

2-0 Everton.

If jose is actually looking at making changes though

Courtios

Azpilequata

Zouma

Jt

Baba

Mikel

Matic

Pedro

Rlc

Kenedy

Falcao

Never going to happen. However as to why, well brana speaks for itself.

Matic has been poor but we need to get solidity in the team. For that I would bring in Mikel. Both rlc and kenedy looked good so would start them.

Costa is looking more likely to start fights and moan to the ref, falcao scored so I would start him.

However I can see why Costa will likely start. At least you can see he cares.
