STM Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Going to be a really tough game, can catapult our season if we get the three points though. I see this as very similar to the Villa and City games earlier on in the season. They are two good sides which we picked up points from because we really showed alot of commitment. Everton have players missing and we have key ones back, so we are in decent shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Any word on Viduka? Could be a good impact sub if Martins and Lovenkrands can wear Jaigleka and Lescott out. Maybe even put Big Andy Carroll on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Would Yobo not come in? Or is he injured? Yobo is fit but won't fill in for Hibbert. Very good centre half but he's one of the worst I've seen when played at right back. If we have enough midfielders available (which is a big "if") then Neville will go to right back.

Neil Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I don't see any substance to the "we have players missing" argument, we've had players missing all season really, more in fact in the last few weeks but it hasn't affected us one bit. Still can't see anything but a draw though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who lost their lives in the Aussie fires. And absolutely, it's a big blow but it won't affect us that much imo. That said, our record with and without Cahill makes for very interesting reading. And nope, I don't have the stats in hand, which is useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDL With Cahll: 10-5-4 Without Cahill: 1-2-3 Ok, these numbers are very dubious. I eye-balled the numbers on football lineups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Judging by all the glowing interviews coming out from our camp recently, it seems like Kinnear's ordeal has actually had a positive effect on morale and brought everyone together as a team. If one of Nolan/Guthrie are available and Oba is fit, I think we're in with a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly confident that Kinnear had already picked that team and told Hughton to play it for him. Remember at that point, Kinnear thought he was going to be back doing training within a week.

I still think Kinnear will be picking the side from his sick bed. Hughton won't want to do much different from Kinnear for a number of reasons.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Nicky Butt is always there....always. Regardless of the fact we haven't invested enough or whatever people say, we've brought in five superior players in his position in the last two seasons, yet he is still there every match.

Syrette Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 hes bloody crap thats what he is. one of the poorest players in the prem! Agreed, I guess our coaches just value experience over actual talent. Hence him being vice-captain (or sharing it with Owen, whatever), and thus likely to start games.
