Match Thread Everton 4-0 Wolves - Wednesday 4th December - 19:30

[MACCA75]

Beto was very much set up to fail v Man Utd, just like Simms was.

Honestly, can see us winning tonight

Hmm that scene from the Eurovision episode of Father Ted, we better sneak them out the back there's a nasty crowd gathered outside.

They'll be saying similar about Dyche if we fail to produce the goods tonight.

 

[Neiler]

He never wanted to start him, it was to prove a point, in the same way as other managers done, Simms got his start in a derby, Pennington on his return too.
Start them in a tough game he knows they will lose and say they aren’t good enough, he can then go back to who he actually wants to play.

Rested Dom I think.

There is a bit of a trend, we’re he plays Beto against top teams - have a look at who Betos starts have come against!

Dyche has some options on the bench tonight he better start using them early if things aren't going right

There's an element of this, but he also needs DCL fully fit. Doucoure needs to make runs beyond DCL like he used to do. I don't blame him for not playing Young at left back as he's been doing a decent job at right back so having 2 fairly poor full backs is probably worse than 1 decent and one very poor. To an extent it's rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic.

Wolves are one of the few teams that are poorer than we are (see the table).

The roof might just come off if we can get the first goal.

…Broja on the bench the big plus for me.

Posters want Beto to start, then when he does they quickly want DCL to start

Not for Me. what's happened is exactly what i said before Man Utd would happen. Pointless and a bit unfair playing Beto v Man Utd then dropping him again. Should be given a run of games

 

[Victus]

Got to get at Doherty all night.

 

[MACCA75]

Wild guess. We start ok, without really creating anything. Wolves come back into it and miss a couple of chances. HT 0-0

We don’t get going 2nd half and Wolves score.
We don’t create anything so on come the subs 72nd min.
Beto for DCL
Lindstrom for Gana
Nothing improves
85th minute Broja for N’Diaye.

Wolves score a second on the counter 0-2. Game ends.

Not me. I think Beto deserves a run of games, players can’t get into any form with no game time. Dyche chucking him in occasionally against a big team isn’t exactly giving him a great opportunity. DCL isn’t offering that much more.

 

[peteblue]

We’ll batter these 3-0….

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Well it worked last season lads, go on, get that horrible 1-0 win. Doucs to bobble one in off his knee in the 90th minute.
