Everton vs A Villa

Baines, Bily, Yobo all back today.

Neill keeps his spot at RB, although Heitinga and Rodwell in Midfield could be a little defensive with only the Yak up front.

Howard
Neill, Yobo, Distin, Baines
Heitinga, Rodwell
Cahill, Fellaini, Bilyaletdinov
Yakubu

Subs: Nash, Jo, Saha, Gosling, Coleman, Duffy, Agard
Stuart Mitchell, Milton Keynes     Posted 31/10/2009 at 12:38:31

Why not just put Gosling in and let Cahill play further forward or is that just a little too simple?????? 2 Defensive midfielders at home is a fucking disgrace... How does he get away with this?

Good to see Baines and Yobo back in, our defensive seems tighter.

I dont see Rodwell as a defensive midfielder, more of a holding player in the centre of the park to link defense with attack. The team seems a lot stronger than of late, but confidence is still quite low. A win would really turn things around. Come on you blue boys, I expect to see a fight today.

Referee was awful today.

Got the sendings off right, but that was about it!

We lack a cutting edge in the final third at the moment. A bit like the Moyes team of the season we finished 4th but without the solidity at theback. All the 1-0s of that season are 1-1s this.

Still think we’ll be fine though!

Agreed, heitinga showing signs he can be a good, forceful player for us, probably our MOM (though maybe Warnock overall).

Can’t complain about the effort... needed a lucky bounce at the end and didn’t get it.

God, I miss Pienaar.

Wow... it’s like turning back the clocks!

EIGHT games on a Saturday, SIX kicking off at 3pm
27 goals — that’s at least 3 in each game on average...
EIGHT red cards, including 2 for Liverpool... who lose!

What a great day of football, almost gets ya back in love with the beautiful game!!!
