Everton vs Newcastle - pre-match thread

Is Milner available?

 

If so I think I'd revert to a 4-4-2 since its the last game:

 

Harper

 

Beye Taylor Faye Enrique

 

Milner Geremi Butt N'Zogbia

 

Owen Martins

 

Wouldnt be suprised if Duff and N'Zogbia comes in at Enrique's expense.

It'll be an interesting team selection for KK and might give us a clue as to what's in his plans for next season.

 

He has 2 spots to fill, does he revert back to 4-4-2 or stick with 4-3-3. He rational behind going with the 4-3-3, was that this system alowed him to play all his best players, with Viduka out, that's not the case anymore.

 

Does he swap like for like, with Smith coming in for Viduka, if so he must think Smith is not the lost hope, partically all the fans think he is. If he opts for Carroll ahead of Smith as a direct replacement, I think it's a fair bet that he'll bmove Smith on in the summer.

 

I think he's more likely to go to a 4-4-2 though, so to do that he needs to add 2 midfielders. I expect him to add Smith and Zoggy. But he could go with Duff instead and take a chance, in a game that has very little riding on it from our point of view, with Lua Lua on the right.

 

I think if Zoggy doesn't get the start, it's pretty nailed on (if it isn't alredy) that he's off.

 

Without Cahill and Arteta, it's more than possible to go to Everton and get a result but I have a feeling most of our players mentally went on holiday after the Chelsea game, barring the highly unlikely Wigan beating Manure, we'll finish 12th, win loose or draw this one. Prediction from me 2-0 to Everton.

Considering Viduka is out and Nicky Butt likely not to be risked I also think Keegan will go with 4-4-2 for Everton; I don't however think it will give us a indercation regards his formation plans for next season though.

 

Most likely Alan Smith, Damien Duff and N'Zogbia will get there starts.

Harper

 

Beye    Taylor   Faye    Enrique

 

Geremi  Smith

  Duff                              N'Zogbia

Owen   Martins

 

 

Subs: Carrol, Lua Lua, Butt Caçapa, Forster

Wish I was going, end of season games in the sun are class (as I was reminded at Upton Park). Instead I'm going to try and keep myself from the results all day till MOTD. Some hope.
