Everton v Manchester City

[blueToffee]

I'm not even joking with this team by the way.

We have nothing to play for now so lets fucking use some younger players to see if they can be used next season. I guessing Miralles is out and for me their is no point Playing felli now. He's defo off in the summer so why not play other players that are here long term.

The four younger players in that team have been fantastic for the u21's of late and all season.

I don't care thats its against City.. These players are fresh and hungry

             
                                      Mucha

                Coleman       Duffy       Distin     Baines

            Pienaar            Barkley          Gibson     Kennedy

                                 Victor             Mcaleny

Subs
Springthorpe
Stones
Fellaini
Oviedo
Osman
Jelavic
Vellios

It'd make for an interesting game, that's for sure.

In general I am in favour of rewarding good work in the reserves. I'd be hard pressed to imagine Duffy, Barkley and McAleny doing a whole lot worse than who they'd be replacing.

Never going to happen though.

I can't understand why Oviedo hasn't had a run of games,we paid(by our standards)decent dough for the lad and he's looked OK in the cameo's he's had so far.

[blueToffee]

He is backup to Baines. We are lucky we haven't had to use him too much. He did ok in cameos down the left, but he isn't an improvement on Baines/Pienaar.

[Dario Terracotta]

Bainsey's looked like he's been carrying a knock since the turn of the year to me mate,and Pienaar looks dead on his feet,sink or swim for Oviedo saturday?,time to see IMHO!!!

I know it looks extremely unlikely the way we are playing but some people need to realise that we are 2 points from 5th (Europe) not 20.

It's a shame we can't play Reading at home every week. IF we can find some form, keep playing in the league as we did against Reading then I think that 2 would look less like the 20 it does now. Players and fans' confidence is in the toilet and it's going to be heck of an effort to get it back before the end of the season in time for it to count and allow a push for Europe.

A spirited win here could work wonders

That wasn't me trying to say we can or will, it's just aimed that the "We've got nothing to play for people". Beat City and we will be 5th (temporarily)

[EFCdanger]

would like to see Barkley and Gibson in the middle. Might not be the best match to try new partnerships out though.

[Silas]

Would love to see Gibson and Fellaini in the middle.

Would love to see Gibson and Fellaini in the middle. 

That'd be my preference too.

[Dario Terracotta]

Anyone reckon Felli will actually play,or Moyes will state the usual BS to us fans,"he's picked up a knock in training and we're not sure when he'll be back"!!!(prepares to slit wrists!!)

Think he will play and will get a mix of boos and cheers from the fans. Wouldn't surprise me if Neville was greeted with full on booing from the whole stadium!though surely he won't play will he?

[Silas]

Fellaini will play and likely play well and be cheered

Sent from Four Ecks, running away from with Rincewind.

He needs to. It's been a while since he's given a decent performance.
