Btay

Congratulations to him for goal of the month for his wonder strike at wolves... It’s fair to say he has his critics but I’m glad he’s finally proving his critics wrong and showing his quality that made us pay £30 million pounds for him from Arsenal. Haters will say we only scored one goal in November and he won it by default….

Don’t fancy this one bit. We’re bottom of the form table, everything about this suggests we are going to get destroyed. Pickford Coleman Keane Godfrey Digne Allan Doucoure Delph Gordon Richarlison Gray

Or reconsidering the contract proposal

Agree. I just can’t work out how or why Simms or dobbins don’t get 15 minutes to try and get something from the game

He’s meant to be third choice and has definitely seen more football than anyone expected.

All of which says more about them to disrespect someone who did so much for their club and left on reasonable terms. I think Rafa would be proper hurt by those type of banners - to question his integrity, wild only spur him on. Regardless we are in such a bad spot. The longer this goes to more I’m frustrated at our spending over the last few years. Koeman and Walsh in particular. We’ve paid out over £100 million pounds for players who’ve hardly kicked a ball and it’s disgusting.

We should have better quality given what we have spent but we don’t. Partially down to injuries mind you. I think this will be a low quality game going to who ever wants it most - which is why I can’t be confident of a win.

Think we all know deep down it’s going to be Rondon & Iwobi in the starting team.

Yeah I saw that. Interesting that Onyango played after coming on last week though. I hope he starts some of these younger guys and tells them if they perform here there’s a big chance they start the derby game.

I wouldn’t have an issue if Rafa mixed it up here a bit. I’d like Allan, Doucoure and Delph in the middle if they are fit with Gordon, Townsend and Simms/Dobbin getting a run.

Missed him the most of all players injured. Good to have him back.

That’s experience right there

Hahah, might get a run uptop on the weekend with Rondon if you did any good at hiding.

Top work mate!

Thanks mate!

@Romey 1878 any danger of an injury update you lazy bastard

The sheer irony that Delph and Gbamin are our only fit midfielders. Peak Everton that

Looked decent on both attack and defence. The loan was ridiculous but hopefully he comes back a much better player for it.

Just rinse and repeat. The only consistent factor in our absolute shithousery is this group of players not being held accountable for their lack of effort. Time to be utterly ruthless and cut the shit from the team and replace the old legs. I have no doubt as soon as Caro was aware he had no money this season it invest in this squad he was out. Benetiz hasn’t been perfect by any stretch but if we continue to chop and change we will not benefit. We need to get an actual plan for recruitment and stop fucking about.

Won’t hear a bad word about the English Xavi. Perfect hat trick against city coming up.

Can’t see him coming here unfortunately despite being exactly what we need.

But delphs fit?

The whole thing seems very suspect. I’m pretty cricket Australia have swept this under the cover with all the Smith/Warner ball tampering business. Now I don’t know if this is their way of pushing Paine out of the team. Not sure really, it’s a mess.

I hope he has a good year though and enjoys himself.
