Everton v Saints (CCup)

I'd probably go something like....

 

--------------------------Gunn---------------------------

Cedric---Bednarek---Vestergaard---Yoshida---Targett

--------------Romeu------------Hojbjerg---------------

JWP--------------------------------------------Redmond

-----------------------Gallagher-------------------------

Not convinced 5 ATB is the way to go. When we played it against Burnley at home it took us 30 minutes to get into their half - it looked awful. In a one off cup game I'd like to see us go for it I think.

Mind you park the bus and hope for pens, maybe a plan, when did we last win a penalty shoot out?

Unfortunately none of our squad is.

Hoj has it in him, IMHO

--------------------------Gunn---------------------------

Bednarek---Vestergaard---Yoshida---Targett

--------------Romeu------------Armstrong-------------

JWP--------------------------------------------Gabbi

-----------------------Gallagher-------------------------

 

 

Sadly Hoedt will more than likely start, remember, he is going to get better.

You've only got 10 players there Cabbage. You're a MESS

Might aswell play with 8. **** it.

Sadly Hoedt will more than likely start...

I'm not so sure he will, remember Yoshi's only start this season was in the first EFL cup game.

I'm expecting Yoshi to start, and then Hoedt is back for Chelsea.

We’ll probably play a similar side to the one that won at Brighton in the last round.

Silva will make plenty of changes as well no doubt, but they will be too strong for us.

I’ve been impressed with Angus Gunn , will be interesting to see how he performs as he’ll have plenty to do.

Yes. Play this team. And then stick with it. And make the captain someone who is a bit captainy

We aren't winning it (the game most likely, the competition for definite) so play some fringe players and hope they surprise us.

Gunn

Stephens

Bednarek

Yoshida

Targett

Romeu

Davis

JWP

Armstrong

Gabbiadini

Gallagher

Other than Stephens at RB I'd go with that.

Surely if MH is serious about making changes after Saturday, then this is the game to do try them out. Don't just play 11 who didn't start on Saturday and treat it as a training match. Start with something close to the team that he would look to play on Sunday, and use the subs sensibly in the second half to give some players a break. Obviously start with dropping Hoedt.

He needs to find a formation/team selection that works for the players that he has at his disposal, and preferably as quick as possible. Not sure that he is close to finding it at the moment.

100% this.

I'm absolutely using this evenings game to judge how intelligent Hughes is with tweaking a starting 11 with the aim of improving weaknesses, however I think I may be giving him to much credit as a manager, but we'll see.

I expect wholesale changes as that's what pretty much everyone does now in this farcical competition.

Due to the upheaval, no one will play that well and it'll be back to the usual suspects on Sunday.

A bit late in the day but has anyone who’s going tonight got a spare ticket for Saints end. Could meet at the ground

Good line up tonight folks. Think 90% of you will be pleased.

Go on then, who's starting please?

Good line up tonight folks. Think 90% of you will be pleased.

Whoever steps out owe a big performance to the few hundred who are travelling up today. They deserve a medal.

Good line up tonight folks. Think 90% of you will be pleased.

As if

Good line up tonight folks. Think 90% of you will be pleased.

Yoshida!!!

Good line up tonight folks. Think 90% of you will be pleased.

A full strength side with Yoshida or a rotated side with the likes of Yoshida and Gallagher?

Yoshida and Gallagher included I reckon. Probably Gabbiadini, Davis, Armstrong.....

Good line up tonight folks. Think 90% of you will be pleased.

Lol, 90% of the forum pleased?

Good line up tonight folks. Think 90% of you will be pleased.

Boruc

Clyne, Toby, VVD, Bertrand

Mane, Wanyama, Morgan, Tadic

Pelle Ings

That's the only team i'd be happy with.

No Gallagher or Armstrong in the first 11

 

Good to see one man back in particular but everyone’s preferred pairing remains untried

 

Pretty infuriating.

 

90% will now be ****ed off

180 degrees in an hour and a half?

Boruc

 

Clyne, Toby, VVD, Bertrand

 

Mane, Wanyama, Morgan, Tadic

 

Pelle Ings

 

That's the only team i'd be happy with.

Makes me sad looking at that and thinking what could have been.

That team would be challenging for the PL title.

So Yoshida back in but no Vestegaard?

Boruc?

Boruc?

Top Keeper.

Sparky said there will be changes for the game, he also said if they do well then maybe they'll get a chance in the league. Certainly an attempt to kick the current starters up the backside, but really that's the way it should be surely?

Top Keeper.

If you say so. I suppose there's no chance of a stream tonight, it's not being screened anywhere is it?

No Gallagher or Armstrong in the first 11

Gallagher still injured.

It's not listed on Smooth Streams schedule so probably no, also don't forget that there are loads of Championship games tonight.

Go on then, who's starting please?

Barcelona?

I'm guessing Yoshi is in but playing alongside Bednarek at the back. Just go now, Hughes. You're a dinosaur.

That looks like it's just audio only, is Merrington going global ?

You don’t know what your doing you don’t know what your doing

Back to Stephens and yoshi i guess

I am just so unenthusiastic with this club these days, it's hard to get excited when you know exactly what's going to happen. We are just so ordinary and the spark of having exciting players is a distant memory, and it seems nothing is going to change when we have a lifeless owner backed up by his bunch of talentless goons.

Another defeat on the cards. Can only hope that Yoshida plays and Hughes realises that he's a better option than Hoedt.

Fingers crossed it doesn't work and I don't have to be angry yet again, at watching Hughes starting line-up fail yet again and the stupid choice of subs he brings on.

Hughes out but take pathetic losers Reed and Professor Stanley Unwin with you. I hope Prowse starts so I can see my opinion of him confirmed, as a lightweight nobody.

I miss Boruc and the team that smashed Fulham away in 2014.

A certain Maya Yoshida played that day, wonder what happened to him...

Well can’t really argue with that line up although I am sure some will.

You know what Darren? I'm with you in this, and that is the saddest thing about the situation we are in. Those 2 seasons with Koeman where we could hold our own with anyone, are gone.

3-5-2 back again, looked good last season. Looked hopeless in preseason and VS Burnley.

Worth another go as we have been largely ****e all season in 4-4-2.

Good to see Bednarek & Yoshida together, they would be my 1st choice pairing at this point as remain unconvinced by Hoet, Vestergaard. Stephens a 100%'er but none too convincing in the air or positionally.

I'd have preferred Romeu in there tbh

Stek playing in goal for Everton, they don't rate him at all

Good line up tonight folks. Think 90% of you will be pleased.

Vestergaard has the night off altogether I see.

Stephens full back ?
