We need the strongest starting XI. There's three days break until the AC Milan tie so they should all be fine.
We haven't been playing that well in the league of late and we need a big performance tomorrow against an Everton side which whilst not the most creative is pretty solid at the back and difficult to break down. Also I fear for our defence if Johnson plays. His pace will cause us all sorts of problems. We could do without conceeding cheap free kicks either. They're very good from set pieces. |

We can't afford to £#%&! about. Chelsea will hammer Bolton and we need to go to the Bridge with a 3 point cushion at least. |

I think it'll be the same side that started on Tuesday and he'll look to get Giggs and Scholes of at the earliest opportunity. No one else really needs a rest. It's imperative we start well. No more early errors like at Fulham and Portsmouth that give the home side a huge boost and leave us chasing the game. We've scored in the opening ten minutes of our last four games and we should look to do so again. Everton will fight and be very organised, so we need to match them for effort and concentration because they certainly can't match us for technical ability. Chelsea will beat Bolton, but if I believe that the next two prem games are the key. If we win them then we will be champions. |

He seems to thrive on having a little responsibility and a genuine show of faith. With the games coming thick and fast and results being the key, I think his energy and effort will be important to us......especially if the rumours about Park's season being over are true. |

Someone like Keiran Richardson will always come off worse because he is a winger. Wingers are expected to make a difference in the attacking third. They need genuine talent. They need to score, assist, attack. They need skill. It's a glamorous role and he's a victim of his own position aswell as his own lack of talent. Fletcher has been given a job in the last two Euro ties. It's unglamorous. Get stuck in, hassle, rush players, niggle away, chase back. Frill free football. Makele is considered so good at sitting in front of the back four that they actually name the postion afet him - the Makele role. But it'll never win you a PFA award. But that's pretty much his job and he did his job. He did everything that was asked of him and also offered an attacking outlet at points. I actually think his forward runs are an underrated part of his game. He really gets in the area a lot and has a knack for the late runs. His goal at Boro was like that. He did the same on Tuesday and were it not for Dida he would have scored. He had two good chances at Portsmouth from decent runs too. His pass completion rate is still not good enough and, although it has improved, he still needs to work on his strength (I still don't know why they haven't got him in the weights room). Believe me, I'm not suddenly sold on him, but he has shown enough to suggest he can be a useful player and offer us something and with the squad so thin and games coming thick and fast I think we'll be very grateful for him. |
