Haha yea just bustin' chops. I tend to agree on the scale of games that don't really matter but do this one is WAY up there. Rafa will be under enormous pressure if he doesn't win this one and as bad as Norwich has been there is no easy win away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich needs goals and offense in the worst way. You have to think they are looking at this as good game as any to get scoring. In which case...fuck!

Zoo 2.0 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Expect us to park the bus and hope for a 95th minute winner to save our blushes. Anything other than three points should be the end of the road for Benitez, but in truth he shouldn't have got this far. Only saving grace is perhaps Mykolenko, Pattison and El Ghazi can impress going forward on thier Premier League debuts for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 This, together with the games against Newcastle and Burnley, is a must-win. We've had time to allow new and returning players to train with the rest of the team, and we're not, in practice, affected by Africa's Cup of Nations, so there are no excuses. It must be a win, confident and deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbanyNYToffee Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 For the first time in a long while we have just about everyone to choose from. Rafa better get this right. Here's what I'm hoping for: Pickford Coleman Godfrey Keane Mykolenko Allan Gomes Doucoure Gordon DCL Gray Get 3 in midfield and not 5 at the back. If Richarlison can come on in the 2nd half great but I doubt he's ready (same with Mina). If he's not get El Ghazi out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidharper Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Rafa won't play 4-3-3 sadly. He has mentioned 4-2-3-1 recently, so I guess... PickfordColeman Keane Godfrey MykolenkoAllan Doucoure Townsend Gray Gordon DCL Then maybe sub in Richie, El Ghazi, or Patterson on if they are ready.

'Son, Playing football for Everton Football Club without Iwobi in your team is like going Deer hunting without your accordion!' I don’t know what’s wrong with our fans! I’m starting to think they don’t rate the African Messi! Isnt this why we’re in this position in the first place…. Not enough Iwobi minutes!

Shukes Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Regardless of the result…. I’m doing my best to fall back in love with football. I want a stirring effort from the lads with something to get excited about. I know enough about football to realise we don’t have a right to beat any team. A good performance with effort and commitment is all I ask. And THREE fking points! COYBs!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Fucking dreading the announcement of our team. If he goes ultra defensive against these when he has pretty much a full squad to choose from then there really is no hope. duncanmckenzieismagic and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 This is a massive game for us and the first of a run of 6 that will define whether or not we get sucked into a relegation scrap We have everyone back now so no excuses. They’ve lost 6 on the trot without scoring a single goal so we should have enough to come from behind to the inevitable early goal to win Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
