[Archived] Everton Preview

[joey_big_nose]

That'd be a decent line up. It's funny how no one includes Bloody Keith Andrews in their line ups, when everyone knows Sam will pick him and ruin our day!!

Agreed except I would start Pedersen instead of Emerton. Better distribution and more goals in him which is what we need.

Hard to choose who is on the bench? Like to see Hoilett and Linganzi to get a few minutes in the game. Where does Morris play?

Same as Ollson, left back or left wing.

Emerton for me. Works much harder, isn't scared to tackle and can run with the ball far better. Plus with Pedersen in we'll have to put up with the bloody long-throw and his godawful corners!

That was my thinking, but I think we both know Pedersen will start for the very reasons you stated.

N'zonzi not starting? Why?

[Bobby G]

Phil Jones in defensive midfield according to the official site. Although he could so easily be the third center back as well. With Olsson and Salgado as wing-backs.

Is Nzonzi injured?

[Robin]

Jones will play as a defensive midfielder instead of N´zonzi accordingly to the official rovers page.

[bubblerrovers]

I really worry today, I think 2 nil Everton, Cahill and Saha

Is Nzonzi injured?

He's on the bench so I suspect he's not injured! Looks a pretty good line up. Everton have a lot of attacking talent and it'll be good to have Jones helping the defence/midfield.

[patrickvalery]

You have to say that a midfield of Diouf, Pedersen, Dunn and Olsson is pretty bold. Quite strange that Jones is chosen ahead of N'zonzi given he is out of position.

[Tooogs]

I'm at ewood. What the (Please don't use that word again) is jones doin in midfield with peds? Prove me wrong sam

[jonv]

player of season nzonzi on the bench . CARN BLUES

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Samba upfront

[RoverRich]

I think Jones will probably be instructed to deal with Cahill who will drop in to link the midfield and striker and who we know is likely to pinch a goal. He should be able to guard the back 4 a bit better to deal with Everton coming forward and can always drop in to make it a back 5. I know it is defensive but if we keep Everton out then they can't win and Sam does not want to lose this game. Bold decision on the line up but hopefully it pays off.

At least Jones has also been chosen ahead of Andrews.

[Bennisfromheaven]

Very interesting selection, not an out & out midfield player in the side but could just work!! Sam has surprised us before with this kind of thing!! Fingers crossed!!

[BRFC1995]

...............................Nelsen......Samba.......Givet........

Salgado..............................................................Ollsen

........Diouf.............Jones...............Dunn............Pedersen

.......................................Kalinic.......................

4 center halves?

1 central midfielder?

?????????????????????????????can see they're russian murdering salgado

[Shabani]

What a truly dreadful team/formation that Sam has picked

What is he doing? We're starting the game with Nzonzi on the bench and 4 centre backs

Absolute madness, is Sam trying to say soemthing to the board?

[AspRover]

Surely its -

Robinson

Jones Samba Nelsen Givet

Salgado

Diouf Dunn Pedersen Olsson

Kalinic

Looks alright to me...

Edit - altered to change Salgado/Jones around

[Mr. E]

heh, looks like I actually got it right that we'll be playing with all 3 of Samba, Nelsen and Jones.

but yeah, the only thing mystifying is El-Hadji? Must be really impressive in training...

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Salgado is in midfield according to TalkSPORT. Jones at RB.

Edit:

Salgado in holding role.

[Nelsta]

What does Bert have to do to get in the side, especially at right back? He's our best right back imo.
