Probably just that McNair played a blinder at Chelsea. I would also expect van Gaal to opt for experience in Evans today.Nobody else expecting Evans to play instead of McNair? Have I missed something?
Cool, thought that might be it. I think McNair was great, but was helped by the fact that Chelsea played on the back foot. Against Everton I think we need more experience at the back, since they'll attack much more than Chelsea did.Probably just that McNair played a blinder at Chelsea.

Agree.Cool, thought that might be it. I think McNair was great, but was helped by the fact that Chelsea played on the back foot. Against Everton I think we need more experience at the back, since they'll attack much more than Chelsea did.
I'm expecting it too. LVG's comments about how he missed him for Chelsea leads me to believe that he'll start today.Nobody else expecting Evans to play instead of McNair? Have I missed something?
To be fair, he was beginning to show some form when he got suspended.I'm not sure how we're supposed to benefit from Evans' experience as he's shit and needs the leave the club. I suppose Van Gaal doesn't share this opinion, but for me Evans is a disaster waiting to happen and he's proven it many times already.
I agree that Everton will probably cause us more problems than Chelsea because they don't have the personnel to park the bus, but I'd still start MacNair instead of Evans. I'm sure he'd rise to the challenge.
It always closes two hours before kick-off.How come the line up predictions close so early?
To save it being ruined by early leaks I think. 2 hours is very fair. It's supposed to be a prediction game after all, holding out until you get a hint from Twitter isn't really in the spirit.How come the line up predictions close so early?
Leaks become more and more likely as it gets closer to kick-off. I think 2 hours is pretty fair really.How come the line up predictions close so early?

Thanks. Yep, I see the point, 2 hours before kick off is probably to best time to close the predictions.Leaks become more and more likely as it gets closer to kick-off. I think 2 hours is pretty fair really.
Same as me then. It's actually a fairly decent team, I'm reasonably confident we'll win this one.I've gone for:
------------De Gea
Valencia--Smalling--Evans--Shaw
-------------Blind
------Herrera---Fellaini
----Mata---Rooney--Young
Though it wouldn't surprise me to see McNair, Falcao or Di Maria start. Tough to predict this one.
Same here. ADM, RvP and Falcao subs.I've gone for:

Valencia--Smalling--Evans--Shaw

Yeh this, perfect away day for us. Be funny if Fellaini bags a couple.I'd expect Everton to attack us more than Chelsea did and that the match is more open. Think that will benefit us.
LVG tends not to put players in that lack match sharpness. I think that Evans might have to play a couple of U21 matches before moving back into the first team.Nobody else expecting Evans to play instead of McNair? Have I missed something?
Had no idea he was wanted by Bayern too. I thought he would have left Everton by now considering he is nearly 30 and hasn't won anything. He could have easily played for any of the top teams in England.Not to his usual high standards but that is more to do with having selfish players play infront of him. Baines has rejected Bayern and United. He loves Everton and is happy playing for the club. He is a rarity in this day and age and I would love it if he win just one trophy with us.
