Just putting it out there blues. Carlo has said he will rotate team. As I have seen on here that Carlo has been criticised with some decisions and suppose it’s a position dammed if do dammed if he doesn’t.
Does he try and keep momentum going after 4 league wins or change most of team?
I think Coleman will play and Holgate at CB alongside either Mina or Keane. BG remains at LB. midfield will be interesting as limited already with Allan James and Richarlison out. Carlo has hinted about DCL being rested. What is best thinking 2 games in 48hrs we don’t want further injuries.
{Ed002's Note - It is a balance and why Everton pay him so much.}

Done alright so far still four games off halfway and only need 11 points to avoid relegation. That pessimistic enough for you? As Ed says the man is paid big money for his experience and knowledge. There will be ups and downs and we are still a way from mixing with the big boys. let's enjoy the ride.

I think the big call was whether to rest players against Shef Utd or Man City. Personally I think he decided to go for the easier 3pts and rest for City when we already have a lower chance of winning. Was a gamble that nearly didn't pay off, as if we'd lost to Shef Utd it would have been a disaster.
At this point I see anything out of the city game as a bonus, and think we should rest as many key men as possible. Biggest problem is going to be giving Dacoure a rest.

Unbelievable - why would we want to rest any of our players against Man City?
We are second in the table and on a great run of form.
We beat city we’re 6pts clear of them and cement 2nd place.
This is a game we should be going all out to win, not rest players.
If we want to compete then we have to beat the big teams.
{Ed025's Note - its a big call whatever carlo decides dan, damned if he does and damned if he doesn,t, i know the guys have played a lot of games in a short space of time but its the same for every team, if it were me i would keep the changes to a minimum but carlo could decide otherwise, and there is a nasty rumour going around that he knows more about football than me mate.. :)

needs to rest a few. as normal we have the least gap between games and some other team gets bigger breaks between matches. but were doing well do the players would probably prefer mstches than training. all the best eds and fellow blues for the new year, hopefully top 4 is in reach but will see top 6 as progress.

That can’t be true ed025 there’s no way Carlo knows more about football than you! Who’s spreading this nasty rumour, it’s borderline blasphemy.
{Ed025's Note - i thought so too joe.. :)
