Like every game we go into I think we could get something - its this almost senseless optimism that has only seen me join the 'we're down' club this week.

Having visions of a late Clark equaliser, but if we get anything from this game it will be a surprise, no matter how decent our record up there has been of late.

[Nastylee]

With Sylla back on Merseyside will there be a 'Surprise Surprise' or will we just be shite like usual?

[Greg N'Ash]

well after waiting for our transfer business to conclude i'm ready for my prediction based on the quality that lambchop has bought in

4-1 hammering

[Rip Van We Go Again]

3-0 to us. Dawkins hat-trick.

[exiled on the wirral!]

Looking forward to this one despite all the carnage going on, it might be our last trip to Goodison for a while...

My heart says 1-1

My head says 0-4

A toss-up as to which team will finish with a higher score: Everton against us, or England against Scotland.

[Brend'Watkins]

Every corner they get will be like a penalty. If we are to stick Bannan on the post we should put Westwood on his shoulders.  We might keep it just about respectable then.

It's obvious now that Lambert is going to stick with Clark alongside Vlaar.  Goodness knows who is going to be playing left back for the remainder of the season though.  Baker is not good enough on the ball and not mobile enough to play full-back, Bennett can't defend, Lichaj just isn't good enough full stop and neither is Stevens.  I wonder if he will lean towards Baker just to give us some extra height when defending set pieces.

We will probably see Sylla alongside Westwood at some point, though Saturday may be a bit soon for the lad.  The attacking four should be the ones that finished the game on Tuesday night.

Keep up, they're now referred to as a "cornalty"

Hadn't seen that.  It's exactly what it is.

Ill probably go with that team....but can only see a loss. Everton should have a field day on set pieces.
