Same formation, same team?? I have a feeling we will win this one. Dunno why. Not a lot else to say. If we dont win, maybe even if we do win, Is Phelan going to get the push? If they are staying its now or never to have a go and spend some cash to have a chance of staying up.
Jakupovic Maguire Dawson Davies Elmohamady Livermore Huddlestone Clucas Robertson Mbokani Diomande I want to see two strikers, so that means no Snodgrass, plus dropping him could prove beneficial in the long run so he doesn't think he is the be all and end all of this team. No stupid subs please, and I fancy a 1-1 draw.
I remember Halmosi tearing Phil Neville apart, we went 2 up and then drew. Didnt we win 2-0 season we were relegated under Brucey?

The club’s badge features a reproduction of Prince Rupert’s Tower, which can be found in the heart of the Everton district. Rupert's Tower, or the lock up was opened in 1787, was originally an overnight holding place where local drunks and criminals were taken by parish constables. Prisoners would then be brought before local Justices of the Peace for trial. Punishments would usually be similar to community service such as clearing ditches, unblocking drains or removing rubbish. It is sometimes called Prince Rupert's Tower, though it was in fact erected 143 years after Prince Rupert's Royalist Army camped in the area during the English Civil War Siege of Liverpool in 1644. It was first adapted to Everton’s crest by team secretary Theo Kelly in 1938, and is now used as a council tool shed. The origin of the Toffee nickname dates back almost to the formation of the club. Ye Ancient Everton Toffee House was a sweet shop owned by Old Ma Bushell, who created the Everton Toffee. These delights were sold in large quantities to fans as they watched Everton play in their three old homes: Stanley Park, Priory Road and eventually Anfield. When Everton moved from Anfield to Goodison Park in 1892, the nickname followed. Just beyond Prince Rupert’s Tower in the Everton district, there once existed a toffee shop called Mother Noblett’s. One of their more popular products was the Everton Mint. This product was actually a toffee but couldn’t be named as such due to Bushell’s claim to the name. To combat the growing popularity of these new mints, Bushell had her granddaughter distribute her Everton Toffees for free to the Everton supporters before each home game. Everton’s second megastore was named Everton Two in the fashion of their first megastore, Everton One. While the first shop is located off Walton near Goodison Park, the second store was opened in the Liverpool One shopping center near the heart of the city. As a result, part of Everton’s second megastore's actual address reads “Everton Two, Liverpool One." William 'Dixie' Dean, acquired his nickname as he looked like a typical southern American.
Marshall starts we lose 3 or 4, or worse, nil. Jak starts, we win. It's that simple. Well assuming he doesnt play Mason in the wrong position and doesn't make stupid ****ing subs 20 mins before the end too.
Great game that. Hernandez and Jelavic looked brilliant together. For one game. Abel's best game for us despite not scoring. Remember seeing the penalty incident early on in real time and being furious that he didn't give it. It was as clear cut as they come since Hernandez wasn't moving at the time he was brought down, he was stood still in the area. Thankfully it didn't matter. Think we got a few injuries that day too. Rosenior came on for someone else who's got injured and then tore his hamstring in the second half, went down in agony.
2013/14 season we lost 2-0 at home - Lukaku scored the 2nd early in the second half to kill the game off.
Lukaku was unstoppable that day - City just couldn't handle him. I also remember a home game in the Leagu Cup which I think we lost.
Looking forward to this game. My second game of the season. Then back out on the 5th January to warmer climates
I recall that match, second season in the Prem (?) - we beat Sarfend and then Everton stuffed us 4/5 nil in the next round.
Jak or Marshall (it's academic now) .......... Maguire Dawson Davis ........ Elmo ........... Jake ... Thudd ........... Robbo ................. Mason ....... Snodgrass ............... ............................. Mbokani .......................... Snodgrass over Dio for set pieces. Give it a go and answer the question.
I'd stay unchanged too, and failing injury, leave the midfield as is for the entire game. I do like our more adventurous style of play in this 'new' formation the lads are obviously getting used to, having not played it before If we could just add goals. I think if it clicks we could do a Leicester and go on a miraculous winning run of games.
