Everton v Stoke

[Everton Mint]

Another massive game that will indicate which way we are heading this season.  We need to be winning these home games to make progress.

[Bluedylan]

Does the cunt still manage these?

He does, and he's doing an excellent job. Surprised he hasn't been linked with the Utd job.

Barry and Besic in the middle with cleverley out wide I reckon

[Shogun]

They're doing nowhere near as well as it's made out. Lowest scorers in the prem and 11th in the table.

Joint points with us, and 4 points off 5th.

The 1-0 loss at home several years ago still stings....and it fucking heaved it down!

[Trowel]

Everton XI (to face Stoke): Howard, Galloway, Funes Mori, Stones, Coleman, Barry (c), McCarthy, Deulofeu, Kone, Barkley, Lukaku

2 games in 3 days a bit too much for Baines and Cleverley at this stage I guess, but great to see McCarthy returning.

Edit: No Lennon or Mirallas on the bench though...

Everton subs: Robles, Baines, Gibson, Naismith, Cleverley, Besic, Osman

[indiantoffee1975]

Kone, Deulofeu, Galloway and McCarthy all start

[TheRam]

Massively disappointed to see McCarthy come straight back in for cleverley

[Everton Mint]

Dont change a winning team eh ?

2 games in 2 days. You have to make changes.

[Cozzie]

No Lennon or Mirallas on bench?

Strange.

3-0 to us.

Exactly, and we've massively underachieved so far.

Not by dropping Cleverley though...

[indiantoffee1975]

I imagine both Lennon and Mirallas will play some part against Tottenham
