[Moomin]

Yeh that Orsic has premier league debut hattrick written all over him.

The Argentine midfielder that had a medical today called Alvarez to play with the ghost of Maradonna in him.

The Last Dance for Frank

Pickford
Coady - Tarkowski - Godfrey
Coleman - Gueye - Onana - McNeil - Mykolenko
Gray - DCL

We have to keep a 3/5 at the back and the loss of Iwobi, gives McNeil a chance in midfield with protection around him and less pressure. He needs to find that fire and up his game so hopefully this is the game.

We need to maintain a solid base and control as much of the game but keep a threat

 

[MikeH72]

I reckon we’ll win 2-1, everyone will think everything’s fine again and no one will stay for the sit in.

 

[Bez2k2k]

If we want to win this game there is no chance McNeil should be starting, I can’t even believe some people are writing it.

Pickford
Coleman Tarks Coady Myko
Onana Gana Doucoure
Gordon DCL Gray

I'm predicting...... Another long dog walk from 3 to 5pm, the dogs had a belly full of these long walks, even he hates this current squad !!!!

 

[MACCA75]

Win or bust for Frank surely.

Then we can start the 6 week mulling over process.

 

[Chegsy]

Didn’t know they had City at home in the league cup tomorrow. Watch them look fresher than us over the 90 at the weekend.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Have signed 2 decent players this week who will have brilliant debuts then offer nothing all season.

Who has?

 

[4737carlin]

Remember, behave, life time ban for anyone who tries to enter the pitch.
FARHAD OUT

 

[blueblood]

I’d play Mcneil left wing back instead of Mykolenko. For all his faults he can whip in a better cross than Mykolenko or Coleman.

 

[Cels]

​

Watching two poor teams battling it out at the bottom of the Premier League is the only way to spend your Saturday afternoon. I can see my beloved Everton getting a narrow win and postponing the inevitable for another week. COYB!

​

Defeat here is unthinkable, so please Everton, do all our blood pressures a favour.

COYB

Goats 11 to start :

Pickford
Collyman - Coady - Tarks - Myko
Gana - Onana
Gordon - McNeil - Gray
Dominic Calvert-Lewin​

Do not adjust your sets, that really is Dwight McNeil at 10.

Too late, I've already thought it, nevertheless, 0-0, UTFT.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

3-1 to us.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Oh dear, it's here already. It's good to learn to enjoy pain early... a world of possibilities....

 

[Jeff Jones]

Everton's biggest problem on the field is a lack of goals. We get the ball into the area often enough, but we have lacked a real striker

Calvert Lewin looks as though he might be back for a regular run of games and that might be enough to get us out of the bottom

5 or 6.

He's scored 2 in his 6 matches this season - I'm counting the disallowed goal because the 4 inches offside had nothing to do with him
and he converted the chance.

Southampton are arguably the only side in the league worse than us and at Goodison we should win.
