Btay Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Alright quick turn around here. More positives than negatives from our opening 2 games this season which is a pleasant surprise. Important DCL & Richarlison get a rest here. Even Pickford. Begovic Kenny Keane Holgate Niels Gbamin Davies Townsend James* Iwobi Kean * Not expecting him to play. Probably see Gordon LW and Iwobi central. Expecting Delph though as well unfortunately. Keane plays so he doesnt on the weekend. Minutes for Godfrey would be a plus.

You know my response will be predictable, right? This is the Mickey Mouse Cup, and we shouldn't field a single first team player. There's absolutely no way James would be fired up for such a match; rightly, he'd wile away his time making daisy chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sad to say but the financial-doping likes of Man City and Chelsea, with their 2 sets of world class 11s, own this cup now. It's a waste of time anyone else even competing for it. Field the squad players for match fitness but treat the competition with all the seriousness and integrity that City and Chelsea treat Fifa Fair Play rules.

You want to win a meaningless cup? We just did so in Florida. The last time we played Huddersfield, they were very physical, chopping down our players left, right, and center. Why would we risk anyone on our first team, right at the start of the season, and during a crowded schedule? If we were to lose Richarlison, DC-L, James, Godfrey, or the like, our season would be over before it even starts - and for what purpose? For most Prem teams, this cup represents a workout for their B-team. We'd be fools not to do the same. Geez - Spurs is even playing their B-team in the Europa conference. I realize this attitude antagonizes others, so I promise to say no more on this subject for the rest of the season. Zoo 2.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Begovic JJ Kenny. Godfrey. Mina. Niels Davies. Allan. Gomes. Townsend. Kean. Gray. Not the strongest team but should be good enough to beat Huddersfield. We need to protect a few players and a few others need a rest.

Bailey Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Rafa knows as much as anyone at this club that the best way of securing his short-to-mid-term future at Everton is to win a trophy. I expect a strong side, with some rotation of the "fatigued" players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 To be fair, there isnt a lot of captain material in that side and Keane is a bit of a mouse. At least Holgate will lead them to some capacity. On the whole though it is a strong side and it will be interesting to see how cohesive they are. Interestingly no Delph too!
