KansasFox Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 My biggest fear for Everton is Ross Barkley. Not as a footballing threat, but he consistently makes some horrific tackles and I fear one of our key players getting injured for the Madrid game.

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Kingy always seems to play well agaisnt these, could play him and give DD/Ndidi half each to keep them ticking over. Other than that, anyone's guess really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adejo92 Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Some of these teams people are spouting out are extremely weak and just won't happen. U23's being mentioned away at Everton in the PL...Nah. I Can see a couple of changes but nothing drastic. My guess is something like.. Kasper Simpson Huth Benny Chilwell Musa Ndidi King Gray Okazaki Slimani Personally i would rest kasper incase he picks up any sort of injury. He's our biggest hope of getting through athletico.

Royston. Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 i would start full strength XI and make changes when we're 4-0 ahead after 25 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then for Atletico, the standard with Morgan if fit and Albrighton starting. Why on earth would Kasper need to be rested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCCFox96 Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Don't see the need for wholesale changes - think it would be unwise as: 1) Everton away is very winnable game as we've proved last season and in the FA Cup and we aren't quite safe yet 2) The main positive is momentum, so resting to many players will impact and 3) We've coped well enough in Europe so far. Atletico also played last night and go to Real Madrid on Saturday so won't rotate too much.

Foxes96 Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Don't want to disrupt our flow or momentum to much so for me just a few changes. I'd line up something like: Schmeichel Simpson Huth/morgan (If fit) Benalouane Chilwell Albrighton Ndidi King Gray Slimani Vardy Then bring the likes of Vards, Albrighton and Ndidi off as and when.

Kopfkino Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Doubt he'll change it, it'll be same team with Albrighton for Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Keeper (see benefits of playing either) Simpson wes benney Chilwell Albrighton Amartey King Gray Slimani Musa Ulloa to get some time, ideally replacing a winger so Musa can move there. Defintely a game id rest players for. Mid week is too important to risk injury or loss of real momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weller54 Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Definitely rest Drinkwater and play King... Gray for Mahrez. Musa for Vardy... Draw would be a decent result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllieLodge96 Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 No need to drop Schmeichel and play Zieler. Schmeichel Amartey YB Huth Chilwell Mahrez King Ndidi Gray Slimani Musa Half each for Mahrez and Albrighton, and possibly for Ndidi and Drinkwater Not overly sure on Musa. Maybe Vardy starts and comes off at 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Stop Lukaku and you stop Everton. I see no reason why we cant go there and get a decent result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 For all those saying it will stop our momentum then would that be the case if the match versus Everton was cancelled? If Shaky didn't even make the starting XI versus Atletico travel to Everton I would fully support that. I have no idea what the team will be against Everton but whatever it is I hope it's selected with one eye on Madrid and gives us the best possible chance of a good result in the CL.

iLikeFoxes Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 I would lean towards resting most. If you change enough of the team, you shouldnt really risk momentum, since a negative result would not be "on" the true starting XI.Definitely the high energy players, high value players, and those with a knock or poor form should be off. For me that means rest for Vardy, Shinji, Drinky, Ndidi, Mahrez, and Albrighton. Play deep and put Musa and Gray in to give us a punchers chance on the counter.

foxes21 Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 at most i hope it's no more than 3 first XI players in the starting line up, so we can sub all 3 at some point in the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boobagab Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 There is no way Kaps is playing vs. Everton. He didn't make it to a single team sheet since Shakes took over. It's more likely that you'll see King get his chance by playing in the hole. Amartey should to be out there too. He literally left for AFCON and lost his starting spot. Ndidi is much better but it must still suck to lose your spot. Fuchs and Mahrez need to be rested. Filipe Luis is having the form of his life for Atletico and Mahrez needs to be fresh in order to track his runs for 90. Fuchs has been playing out of his mind but Chilwell needs some game time. I expect Benny to come in as an important defensive sub in the CL. I'd argue Ulloa should be out there too but I think it would be best for him to make an appearance in front of the home crowd.

boobagab Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Simpson - Benlouane - Huth - Chilwell Gray - King - Amartey - Albrighton Musa - Slimani I'd take Albrighton and Slimani out after 60. Sub in Fuchs (moves Chillwell to LW) and Ulloa. The team should be fresh for Atletico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamark Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Sorry to pee on the parade but Chilwell against Lukaku one on one isolated on their right -sorry no we cannot see that he will likely get slaughtered .Now Was Id pay for a ticket to see that and he might just slow Barclay down a bit as well . Seriously I doubt Chilly could handle Lukaku need someone a bit bigger and streetwise.please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Everton are a big club, yes, but it does feel as if they deserve the 'big club' recognition for no particular reason despite their fairly large fanbase because they rarely win any trophies. They're in the same spot as Stoke and Derby imo, big supportive followings but never achieved anything special for years but want to be known as one of the big boys in football. - Regarding us, put Musa on (he'll be confident having scored there in the FA Cup) as well as King. But rest Morgan, as it's not an important natch due to the very big gap away from the bottom-three. Also give Zieler another chance - if he's crap, Schmeichel will be peed off watching from the subs bench and will use that to motivate him to show what he's made of against Athletico Madrid.

dynamark Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 I think we are all pretty sure Lukaku is the main threat keep him and Baines quiet and we could do a job on Everton.Worry for Chilwelll though unless he can put a stone on before sunday.

dynamark Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 How about Filbert in goal. Back Four Whelan,Rudkin,The tea lady and the big strong lass in the shop. Birch and Top in midfield(Birch to play centrally to avoid moving about) Up front Stringer,the lad who plays the post horn,the big steward fella who stands by the tunnel and the miserable looking chap who sits in the car park booth all day.

To protect him from injury considering he's had two spells out already this season. He'll be crucial in both legs. If we do go happen to get past Atletico, Kasper will have played a hugely important part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
