Suddenly this season has sprung to life for us Toffees. After five months of drudgery and January initially looking as if we were heading for month six, things have changed. New signings in the Transfer window, two wins on the bounce, into the 5th Round of the FA Cup and a night on Tuesday when we beat the League-leaders and made the Old Lady rock.
Everton NEVER let you down.
We have beaten the top team this week and now we face the team at the bottom, a formality? The Pie Eaters have won none of their last home games, three points for The Toffees? We are Evertonians, we expect the unexpected but surely if we continue where we left off then the winning run should continue.
No new injury worries, in fact by next week we should just have a couple out, Jags and Ossie.
New signing Jelly should start. Will he partner The Count in a 4-4-2 or will Moyesy drop The Count and play Timmy? Royston was not at his best on Tuesday so he could stand down and will Der Kaiser, Hibbo retain the centre-back spot ahead of Duffers?
Can you out guess Moyesy?
Kipper's X1 to start: Tim, Captain Phil, Hibbo, Johnny, Bainsey, Landon, Gibbo, Screech, Royston, The Count & Jelly

Duffy should be back in there , we are weak in the air when playing with Hibbo and Johnny now Hibberts fit he should slot in at right back, I think Phils been great for the club but I think Hibberts playing outstanding stuff at the moment and you should always repay effort and form by choosing those who are doing it, i think stracq comes into this category and it would be a crime if he got dropped,it would be nice to see the new boy later on when we are a few goals up.

Would be very harsh to drop Traca today and would kill any confidence he is starting to build completely. Tough though as Jelavic should walk into the team...DM needs to grow a pair and go 2 up top with Cahill dropped...
Howard, Neville, Duffy, Jonny, Baines, Landon, Gibson, Felli, RR, Traca, Jelavic

You start with the same eleven that beat city. You dont swap and change a team thats just worked that hard and beat top of the league. Certainly not Strc or Drenthe,. Yeah Drenthe does give the ball away abit hes also so explosive its unreal, the amount of times he gets us out of defending just by running with the ball. Strac well hes just the bollocks isnt he? Jelly for Cahill would be the only change maybe with it being Wigan.

I thought we were poor on Tuesday, I would go with...Mucha Coleman Duffy Distin Baxter Foreshaw Barkley Anichebe Vellios Mcfadden and Hannaman. Still should win with this team...COYB!!!

Bang on Kippers starting 11 for me, Drenthe for all his faults is just too fast and explosive to leave out. Play him for an hour then sub him. I haven't had this much optimisim in years. The Count & Jelly partnership for me now, they are both capable, pray to god Moyes plays a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 with them two from now on. And in a few months we'll be laughing our tits off at theis goal drought we've had the last few seasons.

I'd bring Duffy back in for Neville and switch Hibbo to Rightback, I'd also bring peanuts in for Roy, gives the ball away too much for my liking, the cahill/jelly conundrum might run for a while, the Straq has to start he was awesome tuesday! COYB

pPease sign Drenthe. He is our link between midfield and attack. The other night we actually looked dangerous on the break for once, because of his pace,and it was him that created the goal against city.
13
I'd 'rest' Neville and throw Duffy back in and let Hibbo go back to RB. Hibbo deserves to start but i also think Duffy deserves game time, especially against bottom. Otherwise we've got to stick with the same team. They will be buzzing after Tues and its a hard working team. Agree with the below too. New signings should have to fight for a start first!!
12
New signings on the bench. Strac to start up front with Cahill behind him. No Duffy, he's not ready for Premier League football yet and Hibbo was excellent against City.
11
Same as a few others. Peanuts in for Roy who would make a great impact from the bench if needed but otherwise spot on. The Count and Jelly sounds good.
10
Not sure i'd change the team that beat City unless forced too, the lads worked their bollocks off and created a few chances against best side in the league at present so all deserve place. Royston wasnt at best, sure, but then i didnt like thought of Hibbo centre half but excelled so both played part! Quite alarming that you all seem to still discard Tim Cahill despite him playing very well the past month!!!

Jelly and Peanut to start, Cahill and Drenthe to drop to the bench and play Straq behind Jelly. A win away at Wigan would mean we would have beaten all three levels of the prem in little over a week. Maybe we now have a reason to cut Blue Bill and Moyesie a bit of slack ? "We asked for attack minded signings and we got 3, One we Know can change a game (peanut), One we have quickly, Learned can change a game (gibbo) and One who we Hope will bring Goals to Goodison and change Our Season. Suerly now we have to give these Two respect for doing exactly what was asked of them.
I am as Guilty as any, as I have asked, in these pages on many occassions "For Moyesie to sort This shit out" . Come on Blues !! Make it a Hat Trick of wins.
0-2 , Pienaar to score in the first half, Jelavic to score in the second half, Give the papers a reason to Headline " A Peanut and Jelly Sandwich".

He wont start Jelavic or Pienaar, they will come of the bench, if id start any id start Pienaar, i like Drenthe but he is a bit of a headless chicken, amazing and clueless lol
Pienaar and Baines were fantastic together!

I like that line-up Kipper, and the way Wigan defend and leak goals we should be as happy as Larry..However, there are no gimmees in this league and we cant afford to be complacent..

Strac deserves a start after the shift he put in on Tuesday night. I can see Jelly taking his place though.
Wonder what Peanuts will think if he finds himself on the bench again?
Been a long time since I was excited about a game!
5
Now thats the closest I've come to agreeing with a BK team for a while. Only change I would make is Duffy CB and move Hibbo to RB, P-Nev gives the ball away too much and pumps pathetic balls up the pitch all day
4
Id start with that 11 aswell to be honest. If Drenthe doesnt perform then its a straight switch for Peanuts SIMPLES!!! I know this is looking a bit to far ahead but i want him to start giving Coleman a go at right back when hes fit or at least during pre season as going down the left we are great going forward but as soon as it goes to right back its backwards again. At least hes a forward thinking full back like Baines :)

I think the new signings should be on the bench and not walk straight into the team after 2 good wins.442 Howard-Hibbert-Duffy-Heitinga-Baines-Donovan-Gibson-Felliani-Drenthe-Stracqualursi-Vellios

I thought Rolls Royston was poor Tuesday, he tried but nothing was working for him and he seemed to give the ball away more times than enough. I'd probably go with Kippers XI except swap Roy for Peanuts
