Come on the Blues!

Head says Rooney + Fellaini will expose our weak (lack of organization or defined roles) central midfield and be allowed too much time and have a fucking field day in the huge Gareth Barry shaped hole we leave between our midfield and the defence, drawing the defence into a narrow back 4 and giving their wingers too much space to put the ball in for the rapist when they counter attack. They will defend like they have most season which is very evertonian and will cause us big problems and I think they might embarrass us even though we look the between team for the most part.
But an early goal from us might shake them and moyes isn't exactly a tactical genius, he will stick to the usual game plan. The rags will lose patience with it if they are down and we are not doing what they need us to do. Then when Rooney's ego takes over and he starts dictating how they play we can abuse the confusion left behind and fuck them like a slag you find passed out at a party, in the arse.
So basically we will win or lose or draw. FACT.

You only have to look at our team to realise how drastically things have changed.

Win this and it'll show that we're pulling it together with a new manager and the whole club will be bouncing, looking forward to the next game.
If we lose then it will have the total opposite effect where the fans will be thinking 'Is this the real deal' and the whole club will have to pick up itself up, possibly looking at different players and new partnerships.
I'll go for the former.

It might be a bit too soon in the season for it to be a make or break game.
However, I do think that the home derby defeat last season was the nail in the coffin for us. We were on the up, were generally considered the better team - even by scum fans, and would have gone in to the Christmas period on even footing with them. But the defeat made them stronger and us fall apart.

We just need the heart we have the rest to win easily today
