Pato has been an absolute disaster, and not his fault.  Send him back, because I am starting to suspect Hiddink has literally zero intention of ever using him.

 

Cynic in me says he did not want him and is refusing to play him because of this.

 

Starting to also believe Hiddink is more concerned about staying unbeaten than actually winning, mad as it sounds.  Gone today to draw and then win at home.

If we play like we did against PSG we'll win. I genuinely think we did ok against them, until their killer 2nd goal. If Costa plays, we win.

Exactly my feeling with respect to the PSG game. We played them very well and could have gone either way. We just lacked the luck to score that second before them. If the players perform as well as then, we have the possibility to win.

If Costa has any sort of tightness or whatever in his muscle, like Hazard, he should not be involved.  If he goes off injured today again, there will be some fuming words coming Hiddinks way

It's an average team. 

 

If JT's fit then he should be playing, simple as. Rahman being behind a converted winger just shows what a bad transfer he's been so far.

 

Midfield is unambitious but we've been lacking options there since last February. Would be nice to see Loftus-Cheek but it's hard to drop Matic because he's been so great.....oh how I wish that were true.

 

Pedro and Willian are probably the best options. Costa is a risk but we're a completely different team without him, however much I rate Traore. 

 

Can't blame Hiddink too much because it's a flawed squad. Fortunately this Everton team is unbalanced and Martinez is a bad coach. With Costa in the team I think this should be a fairly comfortable win, probably by 3 goals.

I admire your optimism. I'd still be happy to sneak it 1-0 or even take a draw and a replay at the Bridge
