solid but not spectacular.

take keane out, he'll play closer to midfield with pool then he did with spurs. replace with crouch or defoe.

Delete this thread liverpool as I see you have found the original one pinned.....too MANY THREADS!!!!!!!!

Yep, I'm a new lad. Joined 2night. Been a pool supporter since i started watchn the game about 15 years ago.

You also get alot of points from defenders scoring goals on regular basis with their teams keeping clean sheets, all my defenders have that, and I think I've got a fairly solid midfield.

Thanks anyway mate!

probably going out on a limb here, but i reckon that Lescott will play the role of Lescott this year. Plus he still loves Wolves. And he has a massive forehead.

Terry or Gallas have to look at clean sheet chances!!!
the other 2 might score more but it all adds up.

Lescott is hard to leave out due to soft start of Everton, but if he doesn't fire he will lose a lot in value as he is so expensive, I am sure he will go down at some stage but maybe too late.....tough decision?

Everton have looked a bit shakey in preseason. Can anyone confidently say they will do better this year than last??

Traditionally they have started slowly wrt to clean sheets too, after about 8 or so games they start to kick into gear. However, their fixture list is quite good to start with this year.

In regards to this years "Lescott" I probably picked the wrong player to " ". Lescott is a unique player, and has performed well for the last 3 years. What I really mean is this years "breakout" defender. Kind of like Laursen last year or perhaps even Wheater. Not sure if they are the best examples, but both had good years.

Agger is an interesting one.

I will go out on a limb and say he won't be the top scoring defender this year. He is an excellent player, and Pool will get many clean sheets, but I fear that Rafatation will decrease his chances of getting the most points.

What are your thoughts on Skrtel, and why I am here I think Dossena is a nailed on starter at LB, do you agree?

looking at evertons start but they migh hit there straps early. but yeah have not looked the best in pre season.
hey mate did you get my last PM??

I think Skrtel is very solid, and he wasn't far from scoring in a couple of games. Very strong in the air, won't be suprised if he manages to score a few goals as well this season.

Haven't seen to much of Dossena? Came from Udinese (ITALY SERIA A, I think) Bit of a guessing game with him I think.

Do you know of a website with a copy of the EPL Draw (With a printer freindly version)

i'll agree on the agger comment, but he will be the top scoring liverpool defender. however, this isnt saying much, due to rotation.

skrtel will earn the least points of the 3, due to his position on the bench and him not being a real goal contributor. having said that, hes only been around 6 months, and has all the makings of a vidic.

dossena pretty much has it in the bag imo. has had a brilliant pre-season, and looks a mile ahead of fabio. im predicting 70-80% starting rate, bar injuries.
