PrintI don't even know what to say in these gamethreads anymore. It's the same situation every week and it is honestly making me very restless as a fan. We don't win any of the games we should.
This is a match we should win, but we probably won't. Knowing our luck, Yakubu will probably have a hat trick and destroy my soul in the process (Yakubu is suspended, which I forgot). I have conceded this much, so I'll just stop my whining and get on to more happy things...our injury report.
We have a lot of players still recovering from injuries. That list includes Jagielka, Osman, Rodwell, Hibbert, Coleman, Distin, and Barkley were all out last week and will probably be out this week. This, as you all probably have noticed, makes out squad very thin and makes our back line very vulnerable. If anyone gets injured, we pretty much have no one replace them
So let's all pray.
Match lineups will be up closer to match time.
As always, comment below.

I like that Moyes is finally starting players who, in theory, have the ability to score goals. It’s a sad time when I have more confidence in Anichebe scoring than almost anyone else on the pitch.
Yea I never thought I'd see the day that we'd be confident or even trust Anichebe
Our club has really gone downhill…
@sibsinExile
Now if only Vellios could find the lineup.
I’d rather have him out there than Saha at this point. Let’s at least see what he can do.
Would definitely like to see Vellios get the start, especially after his reserves hat-trick
Smile.. tomorrow will be worse.

I’m watching on Comcast’s Fox Soccer standard def channel, so you’ll have to keep me updated on what’s happening. I’ve watched scrambled porn channels with better picture quality.
You're rooting for the blue pixels today.
I know its tough to differentiate.

It's really frustrating.
I usually go to a bar when Everton’s on Fox Soccer, but we got a bunch of snow last night and I didn’t feel like venturing out.
haha yea FSC regular is pretty awful.
When HD finally came out I was really pumped, but then I moved out of the country so all my waiting for a decent quality channel in the US was wasted.
@sibsinExile
India but they got an HD soccer channel right after I moved
But I’ll be moving out of here soon too, so who knows what soccer channels they have wherever I go.
@sibsinExile
Another decent chance there
corner now for Blackburn.

Yeesh
Elbow straight to the Adam’s Apple.

Atleast we're playing a bit better now
The defense has settled a bit.
Saha is down though
@sibsinExile
Everton is finally getting some pressure
Now they need to convert a corner.

Donovan is really taking charge this game it feels like.

You're right
Once in the final third, he makes really good attacking decisions that no one else on our team seems to make.
@sibsinExile
^^^^^^^ (One of the only times that has ever been said about Donovan.)
Seriously, I love the guy, and thank goodness Everyon seems to draw out the best in him. I just wish we could see some of that attacking initiative on the National team. He only attacks for the USMNT on breakaways, which you rarely get against the good teams.

We still need to pick it up
I really want to hear Moyes team talk, I bet they will be quivering in fear

@sibsinExile
Not seen any of the game
I’m being treated to Stoke v WBA instead, how have we played? Well chuffed for Timmy, he needed that!
Drenthe on for Saha

That was a very awkward encounter between Osman and Yakubu
especially because they’re sitting so close
@sibsinExile
Wow
what happened there? (Goal Blackburn)
by Rebuilding Season on Jan 21, 2012 4:30 PM GMT reply actions
Unbelievable. 100% chance they get another.

I was saying this the whole time
We needed desperately to get another goal cause they were gonna score atleast one.
@sibsinExile
Vellios on for Anichebe
We seem to always be in this position. Tied with a goal needed in the last 10 minutes…

Vellios on for Anichebe

So close....

Fellaini with a header in the box.
Great save to keep it out.
How do we not get something there?

Karma. Don't deserve 3 points from this.
Can’t expect to play so poorly for 90 minutes and come away with a win at the last second.
