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

This is a very generous offer.

I like you.

Thing is, you know it's a safe bet that nobody on this site drinks beer.

I have to disagree with you on that.

My brother is on here. I could beat him in a beer drinking competition but it would be an ugly win.

It's a serious shame that this is Frank's first match and we can't play either of the two new signings.

I suspect though he will go with a mix of experience and youth.

Pickford
Coleman Mina Godfrey Mykolenko
Gomes Allan
Townsend Gordon Grey
Richarlison

Begovic, Patterson, Keane, Holgate, Onyango, JPG, Dobbin, Iwobi, Rondon,

Midfield is a real worry without Doucoure, VDB and Alli, which is why I don't think he will go 4-3-3 unless he wants to throw Onyango into the fray...

A 2-1 win is optimistic.

Hopefully Gomes has his 1 in 20 A game as he tries to impress the new boss. He's incredible on his day, just such a rare occasion

Why has it taken them so long to decide they couldn’t sell all the tickets. Most fans think it’s as sell out and won’t even know that they are available.

The game will be won or lost on the pitch.

Michael Owen is that you?

He wishes he was me!

It will be interesting to see if Eriksson starts and his fit he his in his first game back.
He wasn't great for Inter last year and rarely started over 2 seasons under Conte.

It’s a game of 2 halves.

I’d argue everyone on this site does.

How else do we get through the season without a mass suicide into the Mersey?

I’m sure I read he won’t be involved or starting.

If there’s one player you don’t throw in immediately, it’s him.

With Dom being a doubt I do wonder if that'll tempt Lampard into not actually playing a '9' as the only real alternative is Rondon.

Could be a front three consisting of any combination of Richarlison/Gray/Gordon/Townsend/Iwobi/Dobbin.

 

[fandjango]

Think we'll win, hope we win well.

I find it hard to get any excitement from the cup with where we are in the league, but it can help us regain confidence and build some momentum.

Important that Lampard starts well at home.

The whole point of the cup is to dispense with concern about the league position

He's finished mate. Can't even run nowadays. Yes he has his moments of class, but that's all they are - moments, and very fleeting. Such a shame, as he was so classy on his day, albeit inconsistent. Hasn't he only scored 1 goal for us in total? That's just appalling. Every time he gets the ball on the edge of the box I have to turn away. His shooting is utterly painful.

Yeh, have to agree. It really is a shame, if he was consistent he wold be outstanding.
