Everton: Martyn, Hibbert, Stubbs, Weir, Pistone, Osman, Arteta, Carsley, Cahill, Kilbane, Bent. Bench: Yobo for Pistone (45m), Ferguson for Carsley (75m), Watson for Stubbs (84m), Plessis, Wright. Ref: Graham Poll I
know we haven't got the biggest squad in the world, and what we have
got is bordering on running on empty right now, but, surely, SURELY,
we still have enough to beat a West Brom side rich in endeavor, yet
poor on quality. Half Time WBA 0 EVERTON 0 I
don't think I've ever took satisfaction from a player getting injured
during a game of football, oh ok McMahon against Ebbrell was good,
but when Sandro Pistone got injured and had to go off yesterday I
felt relief. For someone with undoubted talent, why does this guy
always fail to find a blue shirt, is he colour blind? |

Moyesy
says: “The defender does grab his arm but whether or not it
was enough to merit a penalty is debatable. But it’s not the referee’s
fault that we haven’t won the game because we had the time and the chances
to do that. Sometimes you do need those decisions to go in your favour
and maybe that’s just not happening for us at the moment. I thought
we did enough to win the game. I was disappointed that we didn’t create
enough opportunities in the first half although we had a lot of possession.
We retained the ball well and we passed it well. Mikel Arteta made a
difference and the turning point was probably the tackle on Mikel in
the first half that got him injured because that took the wind out of
him a little bit. In the second half we looked as though we were going
to be the dominant side as regards having the ball but we didn’t really
hurt them. They got the goal and that changed the game.” |

How many "must win" games are we going to have before the end of the season? But this one is deffo one of them games. I think Moyes will have Stubbsey and Davey Weir at the back and also have Mikky back in a five man midfield with Marcus up front. This will leave Big Dunc and Biffa chomping at the bit on the bench. There are a few of the lads who need to put in really big games. Killa is one of the chaps who comes into this category and Moyesy may give him one more chance to make an impact. Moyesy says: "I don't know if there is any easy games in the Premiership, whether they are mid-table or down at the bottom. All we know is that West Brom had a great win at Charlton in their last match and they will be intend on following that up against us. But there are reasons why we want to win the game, we need to keep hold of fourth spot so we need the points too." Killa Kilbane says: "It's a big for us and a big for them. We're at opposite ends of the table and both need the points, especially as we've lost the last two games against Blackburn and Liverpool. We need to bounce back, it's a massive game for us." Everton (from): Martyn, Hibbert, Pistone, Stubbs, Yobo, Weir, Osman, Carsley, Cahill, Kilbane, Ferguson, Beattie, Bent, Wright, Watson, McFadden, Naysmith, Arteta, Plessis, Gerrard. Jogger's eleven to start: Martyn, Hibbert, Stubbs, Weir, Pistone, Osman, Arteta, Carsley, Cahill, Kilbane, Bent. Jogger's Bet: £10 on Leon to score 1st Goal (10/1) |

Well we hope that Super Kev is not so super on Sunday and he is absolutely shite. For the rest of the season we wish Kevin all the best. You will never be forgotten. Pistone on Campbell: "Kevin has gone there and done well and scored goals. They had a great win at Charlton in their last game and they have played well recently and deserved the points because they are now a good team and doing well. Kevin is a good player and doing his job well so we all know what to expect." |
