         Huge games coming up!!  Starting wth Chelsea sat, im going to the game, but just think its going to be lity City away, trying to defend for 90 mins.  Just hope Moyes starts with Drenthe to give us some pace on the break and maybe we should start with Barkley too.  No good defending for 90 mins, we need to create too and keep them on the back foot if we can. Im not too confident though.  Time for Mr Saha to start banging some goals in too, whats happening with Dennis??? He hasnt had much of a chance!!   ps, Evertonians, lets try to sell out Goodison for the united game on the 29, our luck is bound to change soon.  In Moyes we trust!!!

    I can't see us taking any points from Chelsea and I can't see us taking any points from Man U. Even Fulham away will be a tough game so I can't see us taking many points from our next couple of games.

       He got to change tactics on Sat, you cant hold out for 90 mins against quality teams.  Drenthe and Barkley must start, their pace may cause Chelsea a few problems.  Pls God, in Jan we can get a striker from somwhere as myself is quicker then Saha.  He is a class player but he hasnt been showing it this season so far.

    I agree, you simply cannot defend for 90 minutes against a team like Man C or Chelsea. I don't understand why people accepted those tactics against Man City. I never had a problem with us playing 4 5 1 away at City but to play no recognised strikers and defend for 90 minutes is ridiculous.

       Exactly, you need a recognised striker in every game.  As much as I love Tim Cahill, but he hasnt scored for us in 2011. The squad is so small, its going to be a difficult season.  We got to play more attacking, especially at home too.  Hope we can sell out United game and get behind the boys, that will be a huge game and you never know!!! Its nice to dream. haha

      Hope everyone going to try and make United game and as many for the Carling cup game.  The very least we can do for the boys and club is make Goodison packed and noisy and a great atmosphere.

    Winds me up defending for 90minutes, teams AWLWAYS break you down unless you get that huge amount off luck 1% of teams emplying this tactic get, we need to hit them on the break exactly like united did, they have slow central defenders (so his mikel there dm) and there two full backs bomb forward constantly, getting them fast on the break would be worth a go, expect to see distin and jags defend great for 70mins untill one of them makes a mistake and we loose.

      We may just surprise United, early kick off, full house i hope.  Just hope we dont go extra time with Chelsea in the Carling cup on the wed nite the 26.  Our luck must change and against utd, wouldnt it be great.

    Good Comments, i totally agree. Defending for 90% of a game is almost 'Football Suicide'. YES, of coarse defend when you have to, but you HAVE to give Them something to worry about too!!! Even at Home against a lesser team you still have to defend with disipline etc

    Why is the Utd game a Noon KO???

    Reminds me, when was last game v Liverpool or Utd a 3pm saturday KO??

    Dont know why our game v United is at 12, maybe espn live coverage.  Fulham away sold out, Sun 23, although we only got 1,500 tkts i think.  Working so will miss that one, Aj on form, think it will be a draw.  Getting worried abt saturdays game and its only Tuesday, its very hard being an Evertonian, haha.  Hope we play positive and make a game of it, please, think my team would be, Howard, Neville, Jagielka,Distin,Baines, Barkley, Fellaini,Cahill,Drenthe, Saha and Dennis. Lets play two up and make sure one of them track back and help Midfield. Otherwise Rodwell to start and Dennis to come on in second half.  We have to unleash Drenthe from the start, he can be a special player.

      ALL MY CHELSEA MATES, THINK IT WILL BE EASY FOR THEM ON SAT, HOPE NOT. otherwise 3 defeats on the trot.  Time for the players to get stuck in and start performing.
