Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Everton have won just one of their nine away league games against Brentford. Brentford have kept a clean sheet in five of their past six Premier League home games, and no top-flight side has had more shutouts at home since the start of February. Everton are yet to win a league game this season - only in 1994-95 and 2010-11 have they ever failed to win their opening four matches of a campaign in the competition.

Not much of a guide though really as, last season aside, we've not played them in the league since 1953. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Looks like we will have lumbering Rondon up front again, if we can keep a clean sheet we’ve a chance of 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the rubric of “least bad choice” (among a plethora of nothing but bad choices), maybe Lampard should use Keane up top as a sub for an exhausted Rondón on 60 minutes. I’ve no idea whether I’m being serious or not. Right now, we’re a shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been thinking the same myself, but didn’t want to get slaughtered for saying it on here He has shown a decent touch in opponents box before and surely could hold the ball up a bit, not sure of his closing down capabilities though.

Romey 1878 Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Tbf, we took them apart in the cup at Goodison last season and looked like doing the same to them in the league game there until Branthwaite was sent off. They're not a great side but it's away from home and we have our struggles on the road. Hopefully we get Maupay sorted and Lampard isn't afraid to chuck him straight in. He's an arsehole so I think he'd relish grabbing a goal against his former club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memmaclub2 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Can Maupay be registered in time Assuming we are keeping gordon my team would be. Pickford Cody Tarkovski Keane Patterson Myko Onana Iwobi Gordon Maupay McNeil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately need 3 points, expect any quality we offer to come from Gray or Iwobi at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I think Rondon can have more of an impact in a short burst, say 20-30 minutes if we need a goal. Interesting to see how Onana gets on with his first league start in a game where the opposition press really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i’ve seen listed elsewhere positionally it’ll be Gordon up top but maybe that’s incorrect. I just think if Rondon isn’t starting in this circumstance then you might as well sell him for whatever we could get. Agree on Onana but I’m happy he will get to take his lumps.

dunlopp9987 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 They've got some dangerous pieces to come off the bench in Lewis Potter and Damsgaard. We've got Rondon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
