The Dugout Discussion – Monday

2,511 Comments

Everton’s home clash with Newcastle this evening draws the line under another Gameweek. Roberto Martinez’ men look to extend the last unbeaten record in the Premier League and clinch a victory that would take them into fourth spot, while the Magpies are desperate to bounce back from last weekend’s home defeat at the hands of Hull:

The team news is in and is as follows…

Roberto Martinez hands James McCarthy and Romelu Lukaku their first starts since joining up on Merseyside on transfer deadline day. Steven Naismith and Nikica Jelavic are the men to make way – McCarthy will slot in alongside Gareth Barry and Ross Barkley in the central midfield three, while Leon Osman – who has recovered from a groin problem – is expected to move to the flank.

For the visitors, Alan Pardew makes a couple of alterations from the side that lost to the Tigers, Yohan Cabaye is on the bench after sustaining a groin problem last time out, while Papiss Cisse makes way for Yoan Gouffran up top.

Our Dugout Discussion is now open to cover your real-time chatter requirements right up to the final whistle at Goodison later this evening.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Jelavic (don't ask) not coming on means Shaw off the bench with his 7 points - best return I've got for Jelavic so far this season!

        City have a 50% CS rate of over the last few years... And they've always been much better at home than away.
        I would wait a week.

        Some new star appears every week that everyone tries and gets. There's one blank and everyone jumps ship to the next guy... The worst (or the best) is that everyone is taking hits to do it.

        The first one Colo went to block mirallas's cross(rightly so) while yanga just ran into the box marking no one and not blocking lukaku. Second he/colo should've gone to head it b4 the bounce. 3rd Yanga had his back to Barkley and dint even know he was there. Pathetic

    Those planning on bringing in Lukaku should make sure they're doing it for the right reasons. If you transfer in every player who makes Newcastle look shambolic that will be your free transfers used up from now until the end of the season.
