HOWARD KENDALL: Three points are a must for Everton against Birmingham
LOOKING forward to Birmingham, I think it's important Everton get three points.[LNB]A draw against Spurs after coming back from 2-0 down was great, as was taking something from Stamford Bridge. But it reminds me of when I was playing for Birmingham after I'd left Everton, and I bumped into Joe Mercer who knew me from my Everton days.[LNB]He asked me how we were doing and I said we were okay, winning some and losing some. Joe said: 'That's not bad.[LNB]'The time to worry is when you're drawing some and losing some.'[LNB]The last two draws have been satisfactory, but David Moyes will be looking at the league table and targeting the win regardless of the great form Birmingham are enjoying.[LNB]They're on a great run and like David Moyes, Alex McLeish is a Scottish manager who has created a great spirit in his squad and got them playing for each other.[LNB]But I watched them against Blackburn and Everton have nothing to fear.[LNB]I'd like to see David start with two up front, but that poses him a headache in midfield. Does he play Fellaini or Cahill?[LNB]Like with Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard for England, there's an argument that the Everton pair are a bit too similar to play in central midfield together.
