MikeO Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Standing outside Bristol Children's hospital today with my daughter while my grandson was in surgery (day case, nothing serious) wearing Everton jumper a bloke walked past us looking at the badge and said, "....we're going to fuck you right over tomorrow..." and not in a jokey bantery manner either, it was vicious. Really want a win now, what a twat; young bloke as well talking to a 57 year old like that? Outside a children's hospital? I despair sometimes.

World is full of arsehole's, sorry you had to run into one of them. Hope the operation went well. We are due a win over them, and we need a win to kick start our season, hope we get it tomorrow.

Keith B Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's early, but I've yet to see or understand how Gylfi, Rooney, Klassen, Schneiderlin, and Gueye can all be deployed together, effectively. It is, admittedly, a tough question because maybe they can't all play together. I trust Ronnie to figure it out and in any case, he makes 6M annually to solve the problem.

Bailey Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 On paper that's a decent side. Not sure how it will work up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 That's as good a side as we can expect with the players we have. Hopefully they start showing more 'clickiness' in their play. Should be a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to get spanked down our righthand side I think the danger is we get pinned back and can't get out and then offer no threat on the counter. If we do get pinned back then Keane is going to have a mare having to cover for Cuco. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Coco in a back four with Spurs attacking quality has me worried, would much rather Holgate. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Martina starting is a big mistake. Holgate needs to play in games like this. When Martina was brought in, I assumed it was for backup, not for a starting position. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia's post from last week still sums up the issue for me. I hope to see Everton's relentless - relentless - commitment to being more active than Spurs, to pushing them rather than being pressed back by them.

London Blue Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Right, I am off out with the Mrs and will only be able to check the score periodically, I hope that we play well with high tempo aggression and skill. I want a win, don't care how, but performance is also important - I want it all. (will accept a point if we play well tho ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Martina playing means we will be looking to attack down the flanks, rather than sit back and protect. Which is surely a good thing? We are set up to go at Spurs?!!! We've acknowledged that Martina is actually not too bad on the attack and whips is some good looking balls. Morgan will sit in to allow the 2 CB's to split wider once the full backs have surged on. It's how the system works. Gana will be breaking up play all over aswell. We know that full backs these days aren't really there to defend. I think the back 6 have their roles covered. We just really need the forward 4 to click and show some real quality.
