Will Nace Start?
Will Nace Start?

Everton have three lads who will not make it for the game at Loftus Road. Darron Gibson, Marouane  Fellaini  and Tony Hibbert are all recovering from various injuries. Good news is they are all close to a return so hopefully will be available for the redshite game next week.

Thomas Hitzlsperger can be added to the squad if he gets clearance but there it is doubtful if he will be involved. He get may the nod for a spot on the bench.

David Moyes hasn't got many options to play with. I still think he will go 4 4 2. Super Kev is likely to support Jela upfront and I think Nace will get his chance on the right.

Even with the injuries we will still field a strong line up, but the skipper and the boss know they have a tough game ahead of them.  

Phil Neville said:"They are desperate for points. They have had a massive turnaround of players, five to 10 players have gone and 10 to 15 players have come in.

"They have got real quality in the team and Mark Hughes is a good manager who will obviously want time and needs time for that team to gel.

"You need to find the right formula, the right positions, the right permutations and I think with the calibre of players they have they won't go down this year, that is for sure.

"They have got too many players who have played at the top level and won major honours. It's a tough game for us, on a tight pitch, with a good atmosphere."

Moyesy said: "Bobby Zamora, Junior Hoillett, Adel Taraabt, Park from Man United, and Shaun Wright Phillips... they roll off the tongue very easily, so they have a very strong team and we need to be mindful of that."

Everton from: Howard, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Neville, Pienaar, Osman, Jelavic, Mucha, Gueye, Heitinga, Anichebe, Mirallas, Naismith, Oviedo, Coleman, Vellios, Hitzlsperger.

Jogger's Starting XI: Tim, Seamus, Jags, Johnny, Bainsey, Nace, Ossie, Phil, Peanuts, Super Kev and Jela.

What's your starting line up?

Unanimous decision on dustin Johnny off with Distin! It breaks my heart to say it but I'd omit Cap Phil too! Hammer time is long overdue! I'd even throw Nuts in CM with Bry on Left Mid! Kev in RM (4 now) and Nace in the hole behind Rebal Jel! Sorry Phil! Don't H8 me : x..(

Howard, Coleman, Jags, Distin, Baines, Johnny in front of back 2, Peanuts, Osman (would like to see Barkley take this spot, when he's had a bit of experience at Sheff.), Mirallas, Anichebe and Jelly. Won't be an easy game tomorrow.

Distin needs to be back in next to Jags. And i would give Anichebe a start over Naismith.

Oman Neville and Naismith in midfield. I'd take a point now the 3 of them just aren't good enough

Never thought I'd be writing this but I'd stick Vic up front with Jelly Fish and leave super Kev on the right with Seamus! On another point spritzel burger until Jan only, does that mean that we are going back after the other Belgian then??

Distin on for Johnny, Mirallas on the right (as he is starting to work with Coleman, why change up a partnership?) with Naisy behind Jela.

If Nace is due to start I fancy him to score, worth a small flutter I reckon!

No way Johnny will start after the last performance! Distin instead of Johnny and you've got it spot on.
Mark D, Pasadena, CA, 7:28 PM 19/10/2012
