CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Oh gawd! The nightmare then of having Boulahrouz as one of our defenders!! Better than Ben Haim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I don't think Moses will be available for this game, so i wonder who Rafa will use on the right, Oscar? Marin?Neville kept Bald quiet on the three occasions they've faced each other (it defies all logic I know) so I wouldn't be too worried about him against Hazard.Bale i think is faster than Hazard, but Eden is far better at getting away from defenders. Bale just knocks the ball forward and runs after it, Ferreira even has had success against him the previous couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nando 106 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 We'll manage to steal 3 points from Goodison Park. We simply have to. City will have a tough time with Norwich and Lukaku's gonna rape United's defence. Finishing the year in style is essential and it will boost the players' confidence about a possible tittle race. Rafa knows how to beat Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Moses should be available for the game, but it does raise the point that the ACON is a stupid fucking tournament and I wonder why players like Victor and especially Mikel feel like they should go off and play in it every other year.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 No Moses? Why?He won't be going to the AFCON yet.When is he leaving? i thought i read Nigeria wanted players to report to training camp by today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 When is he leaving? i thought i read Nigeria wanted players to report to training camp by today.Not for Moses and Mikel yet though.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2253740/Benitez-wants-Moses-Mikel-cup-ties-Southampton-Swansea.html?ito=feeds-newsxmlThe Chelsea pair have been granted permission to stay in London until after the New Year...Benitez wants to keep them till after we play the 1st leg LC tie against Swansea. The AFCON only starts on 19th January after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 FUCK YES!My concern about that is the Stoke away game. Need all the physical players that we have but it looks like we might miss both of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really am not looking forward to that game, if West ham can bully us, imagine Stoke lmao.Hopefully we have JT back and we will need Luiz in midfield for that.

Jase 43,479 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Here's a few more stats to throw in:1. Chelsea have only failed to scored twice in their last 14 Premier League away matches - 0-0 draws against QPR & Arsenal(last season).2. Chelsea have only kept 5 clean sheets in their last 21 Premier League away matches and 3 of those have come in 9 league away games this season.3. Everton have not failed to scored in their last 13 Premier League home matches. Last time they didn't score at Goodison in the league was against Arsenal in March as they lost 1-0 then.4. Everton have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 10 Premier League home matches and it came in the 1-0 win over Manchester United this season.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Fellaini missing is huge for us. Hopefully we should be able to capatalize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 We can win this but it will be very tricky. Fellaini missing obviously gives us a better chance although i would settle for a draw if offered right now. Winning this would be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun 721 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 3. Everton have not failed to scored in their last 13 Premier League home matches. Last time they didn't score at Goodison in the league was against Arsenal in March as they lost 1-0 then. .what's even more annoying is we had a wrongly disallowed goal in that game!
