Match Thread Everton v Rotherham. Sat. 9th Jan, 2021. 12.00. FA Cup 3rd round

[ForeverBlue92]

They could pick up a knock in training where half our injuries comes from. Id start both of them along with Coleman

They could but why increase the risk?

As I said previously I could catch Covid handling mail from an infected postman doesnt mean I should go attend a rave and increase my chances!

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Olsen

Coleman - Keane - Godfrey - Nkounkou

Davies -- Gomes

Iwobi ---- James ---- Bernard

Richarlison
​

Reckon this would do the trick. Enough attacking intent in that front four to get the game won within an hour then make some changes.

I just saw that 5 subs are allowed for the FA cup. Play a very strong team and go out and win the game. If we can get ourselves a couple of goals ahead then use the bench and rest players.

Yea im 50/50. I want us to win it early and move onto next round. Im sure the medical lads and Carlo will know best . I see it as getting a few players goals and confidence n bit of momentum going into 2 really tricky away games.

If we cant beat Rotherham at home with a few players rested 1. We aint winning the cup regardless and 2. We dont deserve to.

If players like Bernard/Gordon/Toshun/Kenny/Nkounkou/Gomes/Davies cant come into the side and get the win then our squad is even worse than we thought.

Keep DCL away from the squad and let him put his feet up at home

Would like to see Olsen, Branthwaite, Nkounkou, Kenny, Gordon and Simms all given a start

He's black??? My days. Really really needs game time. I completely had him down as a ginger.

I had an extremely vivid dream we got mad lucky in the cup with draws this year and won it by not beating anyone of note.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Godfrey and Holgate in the middle, Nkounkou left - back.

 

[Ring master]

I would have went with a strong team, but i think because we play Wolves away Tuesday, it wont be as strong as maybe it could have been due to midweek match

Isn’t this lad supposed to be very good? Never understood why Tosun comes on...
