Match Thread Everton v Brentford - Up for the Cup Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[ToffeeTim]

Brentford are agricultural no marks.

I'll be worried if we dont knock 5 in against this lot.

Relax, we're in round 5 - guaranteed.

A home draw there and we're in a great position to reach Wembley again.

Please stop this David. I can remember your predictions against Brighton and Norwich

Brighton are going to get a hiding if this goes ahead. They know it too. I expect a raft of Covid cases and faux injuries to be announced by them.

3-0 Everton.

We'll murder these.

0-3 Everton.

I would take a win whatever way it comes. 1 nil in the 95th or 119th minute, of 10-9 on pens. I don't really care.

But we are absolutely not winning 5 nil. Let's be serious here.

So what?

 

[ElGato]

The way to beat us is to play it on the deck and take advantage of Mikky Keane's dodgy positional sense and slow turn. Footballing sides devour our centre halves.

The way not to beat us is to huff it into the box. Big Mik and Big Yez will gobble up Brentford's long ball nonsense and we will win this comfortably.

3-1 blues, horrid Pickford handling error gifts them a goal.

This is the same squad that has performed so disgracefully since September. Alli and VDB aren't eligible to play tomorrow. I don't see Lampard being able to wave a magic wand and have us go out there and smash Brentford. I'll go for a narrow victory if Richarlison can learn to shoot again, but not without us conceding a goal. If we concede two, I think we lose.

 

[Trout Masked Replica]

I assume the new supreme leader will encourage full backs to attack. If so, I think even without the cup tied lads and Doucoure out, any 3 plodders will be a decent midfield behind any 3 attackers.

9 0 to the sticky toffo bluerbloos

Weather doesn't look great 40 mph winds during the game.

Just imagine being at the docks for this one... ?

The start of a new era

So what?

Well we have that same team now minus Digne and Doucoure so why would a 1-0 defeat to us suddenly turn into us winning 5-0?

Or is Lampard just that much better than Benitez was after a few days training.

Their no.1 keeper could be back tomorrow as well. If they play their best side, it's going to be a tough game. I think we can sneak a win but it's going to be very close.

Desperately short of bodies in the midfield.
If Lampard wants to change to his favoured 3 in the middle, I wonder if he’ll play Gordon or Gray in the #10 role with Richarlison up front?

I never like to be pessimistic but the squad Lampard has tomorrow he will have for the rest of the cup run, plus DCL, Delph, and Tom Davies, hoping for a win tomorrow but I don’t think the cup squad is capable of taking us very far in this seasons competition.

Yup, I see it as a shot to nothing, hopefully Frank can learn a lot about the team if nothing else. Still hopeful of a win as that would bring some confidence

DCL and Doucoure could make a difference in a later round, but there's no point thinking ahead past tomorrow. Cup football is on the day and you need a bit of luck.

Looking forward to this. Be interesting at least.

Regretting not getting tickets.
