Match Thread Everton v Norwich City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[roy vernon]

Tough of the Track!

Alf Tupper, the tough of the track. Blimey, that takes me back.

 

[Gilbert..]

Buzzing tbh. My first game of the season due to work commitments. Back in my old seat in the upper bullens for the first time what seems an eternity.
Weird really as ive been going to Goodison for most of my life but the absence has made this a buzz.
Well aware that probably by 3.15 i wish i was back at work.

1-3 Norwich.... Rashica to score and never be heard of again.

Hopefully we can have more the 39% of possession considering that’s what amounted to against a championship outfits B team.

But apparently the footy is boss

 

[Death]

I hope we don't have a load of possession yet produce zero chances. ... oh wait, this is the new everton

Get at them blues... efficiently

 

[Curtis]

Isnt Everton's record without Richy really grim like one or two games won out of ten or so? Even facing perennial losers Norwich I feel it will be a challenging endeavor, but hopefully the skilled remnants of the team can click and we'll prevail.

Norwich are going to win pal. I've never been more certain of anything.

It'd be a bad thing to have 65% of the ball. It just doesn't suit us. You don't win on possession numbers.

Exactly. We've not had a game yet where we didn't use the ball at least pretty well. Even the Villa game it was more about decision making in the final third. We got to good areas still.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

We’ll hammer them 1-0.

 

[Igrok]

0-0 this one…solid

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

A glorious 1-1 me thinks. On the bright side we’ll see an Ellis Simms PL debut in the second half.

 

[No8Bally]

This is Ebton. Norwich will break their duck.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Would like us to start simms with rondon up just give him support just fed up with the other options

Rafael says he's still not ready. Could be a bluff but I doubt it

 

[Thomasc]

Wonder if Gordon might get a start instead of Iwobi who had returned quite quickly and efficiently to his garbage best. Or if Davies plays as the 3rd midfielder with Rondon, Townsend and Gray up front. Whichever way you look at it, it’s a bit grim really, considering what we had available this time last year.
As long as we don’t lose, anything else a bonus. That’s how weak this squad is now.

2 teams on the pitch today stacked with championship standard players.

————Allen—————Davies————-
——————-Doucoure————————
Townsend———-Rondon———-Gray

not the best we’ve ever seen is it?
