mrs miggins 0 Posted January 10, 2014 what do you think, I have no idea what team we''ll play. But i think a 1-0 home win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 10, 2014 I dont think theres any reason why we cant get something out of this, we actually have a good record against Everton, and our away performances have improved as late.I am going for an optimistic 1-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snake-eyes 13 Posted January 10, 2014 I also have no idea what team will be put out. The right application could get us a point 1-1, however if we fail to pressure them, we could easily be on the end of a 3 or 4 nil defeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted January 10, 2014 I think Garrido played well enough t keep his place in midfield, especially as we are away and CH may decide to negate their midfield with a more defensive line up, which is a bit harsh on Fox, but we have the cup replay to play within 3 days and I would expect that team to be similar to last Saturday’s.. Would prefer to see RM at RB but suspect SW will keep his place, however I think if we start we two up front playing of each other we can give them something to think about, so; 1 - 1 and the following line up.RuddyMartin or Whittaker, Bassong, Bennett, OlssonSnodgrass, Johnson, Fer, GarridoRVW, Hooper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,351 Posted January 10, 2014 This is the third such thread over the last 2 days asking for team selections for Saturday. So far only one other person than me has suggested playing Wes. In fact some didn''t even have him on the bench. That amazes me because it flies in the face of what was being posted when folk thought he was leaving. I''ve now come to the conclusion that the majority on here would use him the same if not less than Hoots does! I think I''d start with ... RuddyMartin Bassong Bennett OlssonSnodgrass Fer Johnson RedmondHoolahanRVW Fox played well so more people are clamouring for him to play but I wouldn''t leave out Fer or Johnson to include him. Whittaker/Martin was a difficult choice but if Baines is fit I think Martin is the better option. RVW/Hooper is also difficult but RVW scored against Everton in the corresponding fixture. As for the result.. I don''t think we''ll lose mayve 1-0 or 1-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,519 Posted January 10, 2014 Fox for me has earned a start. RuddyMartin Bennett Bassong Olsson JohnsonRedmond Fer Fox Garrido RVW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 10, 2014 I think if you''re including Hoolahan NN, i would maybe tempted to have Garrido (or olsson) on the left in place of Redmond. I just think a midfield including Hoolahan and Redmond could be a bit too much of a pushover away from home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,701 Posted January 10, 2014 RuddyMartin Bennett Bassong Garrido Johnson Fer Fox Snodgrass Hoolahan HooperMidfield possession important against a Martinez side, but I suspect Elmander will play and we''ll lose 3-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,473 Posted January 10, 2014 Yup, I''d go with Nutty''s pick with the Morty mod. Probably bring on Hooper for RvW after 60 mins or so (depending on how it''s going).Haven''t got a clue about the score; a draw would be excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,173 Posted January 10, 2014 Nutty I''d go with your team with Morty''s change.And I think the majority on here maybe wouldn''t play wes, but I also think the (vocal) majority on here think a lot of things that aren''t always the average NCFC supporters opinion.

[/quote]Yeah, fair point. But the trouble with Wes is that he cant be fully relied upon to play a disciplined midfield role, but it is that unpredictability that makes him good at what he does.

[/quote]Fair enough. Garrido because I really think Redmond needs a rest on the bench for a game. He shouldn''t be brought on unless its for the last 15 minutes to give it a real good go. Garrido is a great crosser of the ball, and should help provide Olsson with a little more protection and cover than Redmond would. I assume away from home against a team beaten the fewest times in the league, we should be looking to be a defensively tight unit all over the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lavanche 0 Posted January 10, 2014 -------------------Ruddy---------------------Martin - Turner - Bassong - Olsson-------------- Fer ------------Johnson------------------------Hoolahan ----------------Hooper -------- RvW ------- RedmondBut at the end I think neither Hoolahan and RvW wont play and Elmander & Snoddy will replace them.But if we are trailing in the second half that we would try something like that.In my opinion this should be Wolf''s game because of his height and as Everton''s game is based quite much in posession these days Hoolahan would be perfect man to cause some trouble for their playmaking and same time give us some boos in keeping the ball.Hopefuly Fox is at the bench as if Fer is exhausted as in few previous games we could use some fresh legs even thought their level is totally different.
