Said out “2-3 weeks, maybe more.” Blecchhh. so your saying watching a bit of training video doesn't make me a smart FPL manager?! very annoying. Hopefully comes back quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, no, I’m sure you’re first-rate, in ever so many ways. But now you mention training, I think maybe Benitez said he picked up quad knock in training. Probably 2 minutes after the video you saw. That “2-3 weeks, maybe more” was/is real downer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quad was in the last match and clearly worse than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s intended to be 3-4-3 to start, with Digne and Coleman wingbacks, and lots of high pressing from front 3. Doubt Coleman can go more than 60 minutes running up and down the touchline, so maybe Davies comes on, or Gomes in middle with Doucouré moving to RWB late on.

Bailey Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Godfrey starting as the central CB in the first minutes. Bit of a surprise. I wonder if he will step into central midfield at times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine we will be using both Coleman and Townsend to pinch down on McNeil. and the attacks to come from the left with Digne and Gray pushing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Those 3 centre backs are so narrow against the front 2 of Burnley. Acres of space between the wide CB and the WB. They should have scored from it then. badaids and dunlopp9987 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Burnley much better organized, good spacing, crisp passing. Only Gray looks a threat for us. Discouraging so far. badaids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Pretty poor start. We need someone playing centrally who can provide a little more creativity or drive forward. Mayhaps a change of shape with either Gray or Iwobi there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Doucoure and Allan have been dreadful in possession. Every pass they make is awful. Doucoure doesn't even look match fit. Elston Gunnn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Doucoure is a lucky boy, should have been a pen for holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I don't think that Burnley are terrible at all - as Elston said they are a really well organised team that know exactly what they are doing. Always a nightmare to play against. For us anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badaids Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Watching NBC and Townsend and whoever the commentator is are negging Everton to fuck. They were basically just laughing at Doucouré for saying he thinks he can still get a France call up. Disparaging about all the Everton players the cunts.

So far, you cant tell which team is full of expensive players from Real Madrid, Napoli etc and which ones are basically Championship players.
