I had nightmares of someone getting in behind Micheal Keane in the first ten minutes due to us trying to press up the pitch. We know he can’t play high.

Result aside, what is it we want to see from this game?

What do we want from the performance that's going to give us hope for the remainder of the season?

The team competing, having more of a defensive shape at set plays and scoring more than anything

I'll be amazed if he stays tbh.

Dunc clearly doesn't rate him and hopefully has a word with Frank along the lines of 'Don't let that useless wagon anywhere near the starting 11'.

Tbh, given he's had 4-5 days and this is going to be a makeshift midfield at best, the result is the most important thing, keep the confidence high.

Some intensity in the press and a bit of variety in how we create chances is part and parcel of getting a result

Wish this was on tv

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Ok Everton. Listen up. We want you to look on this match as the first day of the rest of your (and our) lives.

Carpe 'kin diem. Please.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Between our three new players being cup tied and a must win game on Tuesday I’m expecting to be disappointed, shocked, befuddled by this team sheet

 

[Dublin blue 75]

No Keane please. Most critical selection decision today. Everything else builds off the back of that.
He starts, we crack.
