I know this, but if all we aim for is to be better than the reds instead of being the very best, we will always fall short of what we are truly capable of.

Wolves I still think wolves and West Ham will struggle a little even though they’ll play some nice stuff. Palace is my team to be around 7th-10th if they hold on to Zaha. We’ll be 7th- 10th again. Think Watford, Cardiff and Brighton will go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted July 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I want us to attack teams away from home especially. I don’t want us to worry about the opposition. There’s no Manchester United team that had u beat before u stepped on the pitch anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofanon Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 We don’t know how is coming but my fear is we don’t learn from last season The potential addition of Richarlison isn’t addressing a terrible central midfield and centre back and no cover at left back We need to sort these out over all others Maybe Digne and Mina will help if they come off but I’ve seen no links for CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwlad Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Teams we play at the beginning of the campaign are beatable, do that build confidence and gain a momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game is the worst possible fixture though. Away to a promoted team is bad enough but away to the runaway winners of the the Championship containing Joao Moutinho who for years we wanted to see on the pitch in an Everton game (only he's now at the wrong end); recipe for disaster. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I fancy Wolves to be a hit in the premier, some of the players they've brought in will make them a troublesome outfit, I think they will do well. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 They could have potentially nine new players to the prem against us. That’s a big step up. They will be decent this year but we will hopefully scrape a win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do well after the opening game for all I car, but if we’re aiming to scrape a win against a heavily changed, newly promoted side, then we’re proper fucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 2 hours ago, TallPaul1878 said: Yep. We definitely need to shift the dead wood from the team. Besic, Klaassen, Bolasie, Mirallas all need to follow Rooney out of the door. I also think we need to re-evaluate our targets. Rather than trying and usually failing to snag a marquee player I would much prefer we look at players who would simply improve upon what we already have. Fans have grumbled and groaned about Danny Welbeck, but the fact is that he would improve our squad. He would offer a lot more than Niasse in my opinion. Disagree with all the names bar Bolasie. Welbeck will only offer improvement for the physio table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both played a similar amount of minutes but I'd say it's much easier to score or get an assist for Arsenal than us, especially last season.

Finn balor Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Who is playing centre halves? If we continue as we are we are so slow at the back. Baines as much as I love him is finished. We need a solid core in front of the defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Not sure I agree. Sam has come out after being sacked and stated Everton fans want the finished article. He would have signed smalling/Jones/ vardy etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
