Who to play on Saturday?

The Blues face a Blackpool side on Saturday who are very much on form in the championship. I know for a fact, no evertonian wants a repeat of last season embarrassment in the 5th round against Reading. And so, this time, we need to go out and play like we did against city and Chelsea.

With Blackpool playing so well right now, it's going to be a tough game but I'm conifdent we can overcome the seasiders. With raises the question 'who will start?'.

With Pienaar cup tied, we won't have that brilliant partnership with Baines down the left. And from what we have seen from Drenthe in the past few games, he doesn't add the same spark as Pienaar. But, I still think Drenthe has something to offer. His speed is brilliant. He has got a number of skills that confuse defenders. And he has got a good shot on him. But, there is something missing when you compare him to Pienaar. Another option is to bring back Seamus Coleman. The young Irish international has only just returned from an injury and so playing him will be a big risk.

My starting 11 would look like this;

Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines, Donovan, Fellaini, Gibson, Drenthe, Cahill, Strac.

This is if Nikica Jelavic is still injured. But, if not, I'm afraid Cahill will be forced to the bench and Jelavic to play up front with Strac.

But, we want to hear from other Evertonians, so what would be your starting 11? Comment below or tweet us @PeoplesBlog1878 or contact us on Facebook.
