I know, I feel awful for him. He seemed genuinely excited to come here, he was touched by the supporters' immediate getting behind him with the anti-racism banner, he even tried to be humble yet confident in saying he'd try to score 7 goals. It guts me.

Too bad our fanbase wants instant results for the most part, my fear is they'll truly turn on him and ruin a teenager's confidence in himself.

I understand what you mean but you can see he has the talent and if he gets to Christmas and scores a couple I think he will get 7.

He has the strength to be a handful and it’s only a matter of time till it all comes together. If DCL can get 5 in 5 in all comps this lad will be better I have no doubt. If our fans don’t get on his case which doesn’t seem to happen at the minute he will repay the faith. We made a rod for our own backs by not getting a striker who is of age that players like kean and DCL can learn from. Giroud would do them the world of good

How do you know that I’m talking to myself? My Mrs says I’m god as I’m walking out

Watford are probably the only team worse then us right now and to top it off we are at home so I do fancy us but he will have to go full strength I fancy riccy to score

W Ham looked a far worse side than us 9 days ago and despite the fact that Brighton got 3 points by virtue of 3 freak goals and corrupt VAR officials 2 days ago nobody would seriously say that they were better than us.

Hornets will inflict more misery on us..I havent even the energy anymore for a dons/sky blues end to the season...ive wet the bed several times over after the best fixtures to a season in a long long time...not because I need plastic sheets because I follow Everton&have seen desperate times before but this shower need a serious clip around the earhole if they think this passes for EFC..cowards

Give Gordan a go. Nothing to lose apart from getting a manager that is able to coach and motivate possibly the best squad of players that we've had for a long time.

How about we give Kean a go before Gordon

 

[Blue Magic]

Pickford
Sidibe Keane Mina Digne
Gomes Davies
Walcott Iwobi Richarlison
Kean

I would hope he goes

Pickford
Sidibe Mina Holgate Digne
Davies Gomes
Walcot Iwobi Rich
Kean

Exactly this but not Mina, only because if he has had fitness issues I wouldnt risk him.

Pickford (ugh)
Sidibe Keane (ugh) Holgate Digne
Davies Iwobi Gomes
Kean DCL Richarlison

In a proper 4-3-3 (which they've played just about the entire time Iwobi has been in at the CM spot).

We will win this game and lose next game.
It is a destiny. Show up in cup games and crappy in the league. A trade mark of teams in relegation zone

 

[Jeff Jones]

The footballing Gods are going to take a massive penalty kick at us right in the goolies tomorrow night aren't they.

Not two matches in a row, surely?

I'll be disappointed if Kean doesn't start and I think he could get his first goal in this match. It's on live here at 7.00am. Trouble is, my wife babysits our
4 year old granddaughter every Wednesday an hour and a halfs drive away, and I promised her last week that I'd go with her tomorrow.

I hope she'll understand when I explain that something's come up.

Please no siggyfraud for the love of God, and of Minas passed fit partner him with holgate rather than clubfoot

.....following his goalscoring cameo at Brighton, I’d be very surprised if DCL doesn’t start. It’s what a striker needs to do to stake a claim for a place.
