Maradona10 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Paul, why are your facts always misguided! Last time I checked Kalou is a winger replacing Joe Cole so don't know how he ran at Petrov, Anelka replaced Drogba and Ballack replaced Deco in that order! Similar type players for me, anyway back to the game if we start well and take the game to them and then can see us winning, first goal is crucial? Any injury news for you guys AG?

DANVANDAL Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'd Like tos ee this team for a few sets of fresh legs Friedel Warnock Collins Cuellar (is Dunne fully fit after knock?) L.Young Downing (Albrighton at half time not 20 to go if Downing is looking slow) Delph Petrov Milner (Sidwell at half time not 20 to go if Milner is looking slow) A.Young Agbonlahor Subs (and please use them MON) Guzan Bouma Dunne Albrighton Sidwell Delfouneso A small child with one leg who has never played football, otherwise Heskey.

Artetasgirl Posted April 12, 2010 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2010 Injuries for us: Definitely out - Fellaini, Gosling. Doubts - Arteta, Anichebe, Yobo. No suspensions. I expect team will be: Howard Neville Jagielka Distin Baines Bilyaletdinov Osman Heitinga Cahill Pienaar Saha Yakubu might start instead of Saha. As might Rodwell or Arteta (if fit) for Billy I'd guess - meaning Osman out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted April 12, 2010 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2010 Oh joy, I just love it when we try and play 442 at home against a side playing 451. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undesirable Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Unless we go 4-5-1 in this game i can see Everton over running us in midfield. Like us they've got a really good work rate and with the likes of Cahill, Osman, Pienaar, Bilyaletdinov, Rodwell, they've got some good quality and hardworking midfielders. If we're going to stick just Milner and Petrov in the middle against 3 of these lot then we're going to be out battled and overrun. I'd go 4-5-1 maybe giving either Petrov or Milner a rest after Saturday. Friedel Luke Young Dunne Cuellar Warnock Downing Delph Petrov Sidwell Ash Young Gabby But i reckon we'll go 4-4-2 and Everton will win this 1-0.

Artetasgirl Posted April 12, 2010 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2010 Oh joy, I just love it when we try and play 442 at home against a side playing 451. To be fair, Cahill basically plays as a striker half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I wouldn't be against playing 4-5-1, especially if they do, maybe stick Delph in there alongside Petrov just in front of the back 4 and let Milner roam a bit...But we all know it will be same-old, same-old... :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Gona be a tight game I think. Either 1-1 or we may sneak this 2-1 with surprise, surprise.. a late goal! See us going on a good run between now and the end of the season, losing only one game (City away) and finishing either fifth or sixth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 No signs of NRC or the Fonz in todays reserve match so they may feature in the squad for Weds - I hope NRC gets on the bench at least. This will be a tough match but my gut feeling it will be a tight 2-1 to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachite Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 We win this at all costs. I don't consider we where beaten on Saturday we where denied the possibility of a win and a place in the final, big difference IMO. There is only one way to answer this, where possible with the exception of injury we put the same team out so the lads can prove a point, utterly convinced they will be chomping at the bit to get at Everton, no because its Everton but to right the wrongs. Convinced the lads will turn this negative into a positive and pull of a valiant result full of vim and vigour, loads of energy and commitment. Good solid win coming up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we can have a look at making sure we are in Europe next season, lets face it after Everton there isn't to much to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Cahill basically plays as a striker half the time. Only when you have the ball though I would imagine? Which means when we have it he will drop back into midfield making you hard to break down which is what we struggle with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerHQ Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Good Everton team that but they look to me that they're playing the season out, 0-0 at Wolves and 2-2 at home to West Ham don't suggest a team going hell for leather for a top 7 place. 2-1 to us.

TrentVilla Posted April 12, 2010 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah they let themselves down with those last two results but their form since Christmas has been very impressive, they also have the added insentive of seeing Liverpool within touching distance. I would imagine for them finishing above L'pool would be a great end to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerHQ Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Tis true. As ever first goal is crucial. If we get it, I back us to win. If we don't, I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a strong team AG - this everton team dismanteld a very strong Man City team the other week so I expect (as usual) a very tough game probably resulting in a draw. I cant see us getting the win - we will struggle with Everton's tenacity - and that boy Cahill is probably the best midfielder outside of the Sky4. We need a win.

DANVANDAL Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 if we play 4-4-2 against their 4-5-1 we will be over run in midfield like against chelsea and lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
