Mutch must have been buzzing all week in training to get in ahead of Kranky. As Stan said, Fer in his proper position. I am looking forward to seeing what he can do. Looks like we are going for it: About bloody time!
Who do you think will play behind the striker out of Mutch, Fer and Barton. I'd like it to be Fer but I think it may be Mutch.
Delighted we have both Phillips and Hoilett playing, we really need to go for it on the flanks and get some balls into the box for Vargas. Not sure I would have left Henry out I don't really know how Mutch is as a defensive midfielder. Overall the selection I would have made bar one.
No-one could have predicted that team. Don't know what to feel about it. Apart from the back five, I think Harry put names in a bowl and picked them out. No other possible explanation.
Here's a theory - he's already written the game off, has been feeling the pressure about the negative away performances and feels he can't lose with this line up - if we win he's a hero, if we lose "I put my most attacking side out, and we got stuffed, just like I expected. Everton are a triffic team" It's the intent behind the way we play that will be key. A team with pace in it at last, please lets use it, fast passing, forwards.
I originally thought that it would be Fer, but now thinking about it, I think it will be Mutch, but then again, why not Phillips or even Hoilett.
Hope the two main items in training have been 1) pressing opposition very high up the park and 2) ball retention via movement off the ball when playing out from the back. If we can improve on these, we can come away with something tonight
Line up looks good, nice to see an attacking mentality. Just hope Hoilett puts in a good performance, I worry that if not, we might not see very much of him again.
Hallo boys....Col and Queens particularly ...I told you all a week ago that Matty Phillips would start....now step and score...Aylesbury boy... Come on u Rrrrs Come on Aylesbury boy
Blimey that's.........adventureous, two wingers with pace, Fer just behind Ed with Mutch doing the floating role.....what did they put in Harolds tea?
Even Garry Neville has acknowledged that we have got pace that could cause Everton some problems...... C'mon U R's
