Match Everton (A) 19Jan, 2pm KO

[StripiestPilot]

Everton have a better defence than us and without Solanke we are going to struggle badly in attack.

We have played 10 away games and scored 17 goals, but 12 of them came in 3 games against City, United and Southampton. So we've scored 5 goals across the other 7 away matches. We need to keep a clean sheet today or we are not going to win the game, especially with Solanke and Johnson injured.

wow!!! bookies actually have everton as favourites to beat us! surely we cant get any lower than this, this is a disgrace.

 

[Meano]

Knowing us Richie will score a brace , we will win and start to think maybe we have turned a corner only for Ange to announce Richie has picked up a knock training and is out until March

Or Levy will cash in on Richie's hot streak and sell him b4 the window closes leaving us with only Son up front.

We only have lightweight pace merchants left. Maybe go full Conte for today - sit in, pass to Madders who’ll pass out to Werner - as long as he passes to Son before he sh*ts the bed we might score.

This manager will continue to try to play his way with what we have. It’s got disaster written all over it.

Oh - good point - forgot about that. Well - f*ck me we’re doomed in that case.

Maybe go full AVB and just slowly and timidly recycle the ball until we can go home after a tepid draw, then?

Pretty sure we have one of the best away defenses in the PL. Or we did before woolwich away

Today is a big game imo, a loss here and I think the chance of recovering any kind of good form would be unlikely.

He simply has to get a win here, if he doesn’t he should be immediately sacked, it really is that simple for me.

 

[Smogz]

Haha
Honestly look at the players available - Everton are favourites with the bookies. We are more likely to lose than win. Deal with it

Having a clueless manager doesnt help either.

Announce Veliz

trouble is he now has all the excuses he needs to ask for another season, and there are lots of fans here who want to give him another season

It's not who we are mate

 

[Perryman]

I think one of Contes first games was away to Everton. Bloody awful game but we got a point. That will do today. Problem is Ange lives in La La land and wants to play wonderful football all the time.
Bournemouth play great football but it didn’t stop them kicking Bruno and Joelinton up in the air yesterday
I do think that getting Gray into midfield will definitely improve us.

 

[Bill-bao Bob]

Afternoon all.

Better half and little one dispatched to have dinner over her mam's so settling in for a lovely afternoon.

How we all feeling? The first few pages of this thread weren't very cheery to be blunt. Hope the hope is kicking in now kick off is approaching!

Earlier in the week I thought we’d not lose this but with the news that we don’t have Solanke makes me think this is going only one way. Nobody to hold the ball up will kill us today!! Madders is my only hope of goals. He must start.

 

[dondo]

I thought Ange’s first season is the one where all the injuries occur lol

Something is seriously wrong with our training with the amount of injuries we have got since Ange got here

 

[Spinner22]

I so hope I am wrong - but I have a really bad feeling this game wont end well for us - I just hope the experienced players stand up and be counted today.

Solomon doing well at Leeds and not cos he just scored . Guy in my office who told me about Archie Gray says the Leeds fans love him . He is almost certainly better than Werner who i doubt gets in the Grimsby team let alone Leeds.
