.....................wright
...........stubbs........unsworth
watson..............................yobo

No.

It's not as if there's been a sudden dearth of goals and we absolutely must give the front line a kick in the pants. Playing a 4-4-2 and playing it well got Everton this far ... there's no sense in going and changing things just because (though it is a shock) the majority of the squad is healthy.

theres usually a way to improve, something to be required if they make the CL - i dont think it as a permanant ideological switch, more a different look for strategy - seems like radz-BMB-rooney would be a very exciting troika - another question? any talk on who moyes might chase should CL money become available? other than BMB of course

If there's anywhere we need to improve, it's in midfield, not up front. Also, if you've been paying attention, when we've been trailing late Moyes has been going to three up front anyway. To me, if there's three forwards playing, that mean's we're behind and that, as Martha would say, is not a good thing.

There's two months of the season still to come and Europe, contrary to popular belief, is not a guarantee. First we finish in the top six ... then we can worry about such things.

the best attack force i've seen at goodison this season was the last 25-odd minutes against southampton when we had rooney, radz and campbell playing together. that was a last ditch attempt to salvage something out of the game tho. i wouldn't recommend it under normal circumstances.

generally this season, when we've played 3 up front, we've struggled...our midfield is the weak link at the moment as it is. we don't need to weaken it further by taking another player from the ranks

my ideal strikeforce would be campbell and radzinski still...rooney being brought on for the last 30 mins/ second-half.

Wasnt the Charlton Match where he had Brian, Rads, Campbell, and Rooney in to get the equalizer. There have been a few times this season he has had all three forwards in the game, and I thought Everton did very well at it. To start a match that way may be hard as I would hate to see Campbell Rooney or Rads back there helping out in defence, That would be too much for my heart to handle.
