Match Thread Brentford v Everton. Sun 28th November. 2pm

[Toffe3m4n]

Doucoure is 'in contention' apparently. Hopefully makes the bench.

Positive news on Gray as well but sounds like he'll miss this weekend either way.

 

[windymiller]

Ivan Toney will cause the back line nightmares. Need to beef up the midfield and play on the counter.

Do we play any other way these days?

 

[Blues Harp]

Ultimately will come down to who has their forwards available

They have Toney and Mbeumo available

We have neither DCL or Richarlison.

3 points would be amazing but cant see it. Would take a point now if offered.

You've already said we'd lose 3-1....
If we can't beat this lot it's truly embarrassing. Even with our injuries

 

[BlueToff]

We can't really counter-attack tbh

 

[BlueToff]

Jesus Christ, @ForeverBlue92 already lining up his excuses for losing at Brentford, who are the only side to be on as bad as a run of form as us

It's laughable mate. They've got half their starting XI out like us. Time for Benitez to prove his tactical nous ey.

But then again he's already said it'll be Rondon or Tosun up front.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Tosun or Rondon. Christ what a dreadful choice to have to make

 

[hktoffee]

Due for a win.

 

[ChiefWiggum]

It’s must not lose for Benitez this.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Tosun or Rondon. Christ what a dreadful choice to have to make

Tosun is surely in better shape than Rondon despite his lengthy lay off. If we can get Gordon and Townsend out wide then Tosun might get some joy with his baldy noggin. Rondon, no, nothing.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I reckon it'll end up being this:

Pickford

Coleman - Keane - Godfrey - Digne

Allan ----- Delph

Townsend --- Iwobi --- Gordon

Rondon​

Pretty horrendous like but there we go...

 

[NorthernBlue]

Think we win this one fairly comfortably to be honest. 0-2 and a much needed win going into the derby. Scrape a draw there then we should stabilise as more players come back.

 

[blueconverse]

Just throw some youth in as they may be eager to prove themselves. Onyango and Dobbin deserve a go

 

[ToffeeTim]

I reckon it'll end up being this:

Pickford

Coleman - Keane - Godfrey - Digne

Allan ----- Delph

Townsend --- Iwobi --- Gordon

Rondon​

Swap Iwobi or Rondon for Onyango and I'd go with that. Doucoure on the bench if possible for some energy in the final 20.

There is no reason that side can't at least defend properly.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Richarlison is a knob really when you think about it, its one thing payers out injured but one out for a pointless yellows is something we cant afford, going to cost us tomorrow that, if he played i would fancy a win but not now

For someone who is supposed to be a top player, his levels of petulance and footballing frustrations/idocy is staggering. Half the time he plays like he's so piddled off, reacting to frustration or emotion, doesn't think, just gets one stupid booking after another. You'd think the last thing Rafael would have said to the players is no silly bookings or suspensions, given the list of players already unavailable.
