For some weird reason i have a feeling were going to get a win against the bar codes !
In a way, fellaini suspended might help us because although him and Rodwell are good players they both sit back and play sideways.
Maybe a partner in the middle with Rodwell this saturday that will go forward. Osman ? He's useless on the wing but good in the middle.
Knowing Moyes he will play Neville or Heitinga in the middle with Rodwell !!

Maybe ?
Howard
Hibbert Jagielka Distin Baines

Coleman Rodwell Osman Drenthe

Cahill Saha

I'm tired, we're tired, Goodison's tired, Moyes tired. Saturday we'll win with gusto.
Why? why not. C'MON!!

Having drenthe back is a big boost,he was sorely missed against man u.I have a feeling it might be 1-1 on saturday.After the weekends game our fixture list doesn't look too bad for a couple of months,so we should climb the table

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - lets hope so bez..

I dont think newcastle are unbeatable, they have had the rub of the green, (a bit like us in 2004) but we have better players and a better team so yes, we should beat them. no felli, so i would play barkly and ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK !!!

I think form is the only thing in favour of newcastle, otherwise they are beatable, like last year when we won there

You make a decent point.... Fellaini and Rodwell are very similar but in the past 3 games (Fulham, Chelsea in the cup and Man United) i have noticed that Rodwell has gone forward a lot more.
Maybe Moyes finally noticed that there both similar and sit, it takes him a while our Moyesy but he gets there in the end !
Everyone seems to say it but i don't see the problem with playing Cahill in the middle instead behind the forward he played in the centre when he first got here and was immense arriving in the box late. With him playing further up nowadays he is easier to mark because he is already in the box when the ball is played in !
Personally i would always play Cahill in the centre with either Rodwell or Fellaini and play 2 upfront but Moyes is never going to do that !!! ha

Saha should start up front on saturday and how we need one of his days where he's in the mood. Osman behind didn't really work against United so personally I'd rather see Saha tucked in behind Vellios, as improbable as it sounds. Drenthe should return to replace Bily and hopefully will maintain his improvement every game as if he does we have a real player on our hands. Rodwell will be in the middle with a new partner as Fellaini, the big galoot, is suspended. Lets hope it's not Neville or Heitinga there. It was pleasing to see something like the Seamus Coleman we know on the right doing all sorts of mad b**tard runs against United. He may shoot like French warship but he can make things happen and push back the opposition on their left wing. {Ed025's Note - love the comment about shooting like a french warship...class mate

why would any sane person want to purchase everton we dont own are training ground,it cost us 3.200.00 pound a day to rent.we need a new ground.we loose 5 million a year at least.we have a load of very average players on long contracts wich have to be paid up.think about it the only person that would be interrested is a loony living in a bedsit in manchestr

Isnt it great how optimistic some of our supposed fans are? first of all £3200 a day works out not much more than £1m a year.. think of the players we have coming out of that and i would think thats not too bad. Obviously i can't argue on the ground but then you say we have average players? and thats why every team who plays everton consistently says we are a hard team to beat.. just look at some of the players we have right the way through our ranks.. Fair enough we are going through a difficult time but I am and always will be optimistic about everton {Ed025's Note - i used to think like you mate..and hope i do in the future..

U need to wake up and smell the coffee fella we were jammy at fulham, get done at newcastle tomoz were realy in the brown stuff...and how come tony hibbert boss al of a sudden...hes crap,and always has been.are standerds realy have dropped

Agree totally lad, could be armegedan for us blues the way its goin can only see nothin but pain, and its torture to watch,were hard to beat that kids sayin,but we are gettin beat more often than not,

On a positive note av got 5000 boxes of kleenex tissues.might come in handy for the end of the season.and av just herd colonel gadfaffi was a red..good riddence

3200 a day,are you forgetting we owend the gaff at first,and bellfield

Additional: I guess the best we can hope for is investment in the very near future to clear some of our debts to the banks. Or a sale of land/building eg Finch Farm or Bellefield? Do we still own that land?

We don't own finch farm we rent the land

Just out of intrest who thinks bill kenwright is trying his best to sell us? Personally I think we could have been sold years back if it wasn't for his 'undying love' for everton! Your thoughts Ed and anyone got any ideas on players we are going for in january? {Ed025's Note - bill wants investment, not a buyer, and thats the crux of the problem, he likes being at the helm...but like the titanic, some people think we are unsinkable..but were not!

You can never question kenwrights feelings for everton i still remember the johnston era now thats when we were in the poo
