I'll be surprised by anything other than a very slow jog

Ha this comment made me think of this clip immediately. Seems strangely applicable at the end. “So Ron’s not coming?”

Wouldn't dare say it can't get any worse, I think at some time we might even play with our b team, I say forget about the position just stay up in the league, and experiment with as many players as possible, give chances to everyone.
Iwobi for sure will play, if gray is out as well along with doucs.
Pack the back, and mf and play without a striker ..roundone is useless anyways.

 

[Sagar]

The player that is escaping the flake because of safety valves like roundone and iwobi , is Allen , he clearly is below average at best in defensive mf Role, could try pushing Godfrey in that role, slowly.

Pickford

Coleman
Mina
Godfrey
Digne

Allan
Davies
Gbamin

Townsend
Richy
Gray

About the best we can do.

These are garbage even with our injuries we should comfortably beat these 2-0

But have not have proven over the last 5 years we can be equally as garbage on our day.

Would take the scruffiest win of any flavour on Saturday - the injuries have killed what little confidence I had for this season.

Our fixtures from the city game to the 20th December look very difficult, even before the injuries.

All very meh.....

He already struggling this season being moved to right back why move him again to cause more uncertainty, it virtually ruined Holgates career last season moving him around so much

I think Holgate ruined his own career playing like a clown last season.

Nah, Allan overall has been class this season. Dodgy first half against Southampton and poor against West Ham last game but class in between.

My first game back at Goodison since covid… of course Doucoure is injured and we still don’t know about Richy/Dom!

Was really looking forward to this one when we got tickets but now I’ll take a scrappy 1-0 home win any day!

The word is that DCL suffered a setback in his recovery but Richarlison is expected to feature.

Think it will be low on quality, but reckon you'll see us win.

Lol, well that didn't help but he not got a good footballing brain so keep swapping him around no good, send him back to West Brom, they loved him there and looks like they need him after tonight ?

 

[Blue Roo]

Can Godfrey do Doucs role?

No.
Digne would my pick with Godfrey at LB

 

[degsy]

What a sad Indictment, not only of the youth of today, but of The Acadamy, the sheltered, pampered, playschool...well paid 'kin playschool too, they all cower and hide in.

Is there nobody in The Whole 'Kin Club cocky enough, arrogant enough...and if you're not cocky and arrogant at 19, sure that you have the world by the tail and know - with absolute certainty - know that you have and are the answer to everything.
Nobody fit enough to run around for 90mins, nobody aggressive enough to put themselves about for 90mins...and maybe, if they really have to and theres no avoiding it put a toe or a head on the odd ball ?

And, which maybe worse, nobody in the dugout with the bottle to take a chance.
Go away rapidly Mr Moshiri,
Uncle Uzzies Nephew,
Ms 1980s British Airways hostess,
Mr William, Lovington, BoysPen, Hickson, Kenwright,
Mr Brands,
Mr Unsworth,
Mr Benitez, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all and the horses yiz all rode in on!

yes...

...we most definitely have

Digne or Ben are both good versatile players, fit and athletic but the point is surely that the manager should be creative with his team selection and formation based on who we play. I think too many players are pigeon holed into one role. Hope that makes sense
