Pizy 15,910 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Very anxious about this one. I had a nightmare that Torres missed a sitter again to cost us the game.This is a statement game. Are we a serious contender or not? We'll have won at the Emirates, at WHL, and at Goodison with a game in hand if we can pull this one off. I'd say being in the top 3 with a game in hand and BEFORE the transfer window opens while having only 1 striker on the roster is pretty impressive.But we MUST win this one. Would be a huge morale boost for player and supporter alike. Link to post Share on other sites
Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hopefully we can get a win by hook or by crook but all things considered a draw wouldn't be the worst result in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
Shogun 721 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hoping Torres continues his record against us (no goals in his last 7 (5 of those playing for Liverpool) Link to post Share on other sites

Changingman_2000 876 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Very, very tricky fixture this, and has been for as long as I can recall. Want to win, of course, but would take the draw. Link to post Share on other sites

Sheva. 5,373 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Ramires starts on the right, Luiz and Lamps in midfield, and then the rest is the same, same. Link to post Share on other sites

The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This game just got a whole lot tougher. Fully expect a loss now Yeah might as well get back on the bus. Interesting team - Rami on the wing to combat Baines/Pienaar and the rest of the team as expected. Good to see him stick with Azpi and Luiz and not resting Mata.Plus Ake and Piazon on the bench is always good to see. Just want to get going now. :blue scalf: Link to post Share on other sites

Miracle 249 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Not that I'm aware. Why would he be ruled out?Rafa said he limped off due to a knee problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Jype 5,949 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 That's a very weak lineup for Everton compared to what they can deploy on a good day. No Fellaini, Mirallas, Gibson and Coleman for them. As for the Chelsea lineup, the lack of Mikel is bad and I'm not exactly looking forward to Ramires at RW either, although countering the threat Baines possesses is a key part of doing well in this game.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Rafa said he limped off due to a knee problem.He's out, but with an Ankle problem according to Niel Barnet. Huge miss for us, especially in this game. Link to post Share on other sites
BLionheart 516 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Just when i was starting to like what Rafa has been doing with the team !! In the 1st half-big game he proves his instincts of defense at all costs will always get the better of him . Link to post Share on other sites
