Match Thread Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[zook]

I think this is an excellent point.

In a combined XI I think that only Neves and Jiminez would shift Everton players.

Prefer Moutinho to Neves me, and Jota and Doherty are great players. I’m a fan of Traore too despite his flaws.

Their bubble will burst. Also any genuine top class players will leave them for bigger things. I will admit though that they have a much better team than us.

You didn't watch the game obviously, so I will forgive your ignorance. The only threat they offered in the 2nd half was from the reincarnation of Rory Delap.

Great day coupled with the fact we'll be second on MOTD !!

True however with Richarlison and Sigurdsson both scored 26 goals between them from midfield/out wide last season.

If both can get around 10-15 and Iwobi/Kean contribute more than their counterparts DCL and Bernard did last season (not hard) I think we have a slight edge goal scoring wise.

The problem for us is we havent a top striker like you guys have - but then its also a double edged sword as when you have a 20 goal a season forward you inevitably set up to their strengths.

The day Vardy breaks down you'll see exactly what I mean - many on here said "ah we'll spread the goals around" when we sold Rom and in reality it completely changes the team/system which takes a few transfer windows to sort out (unless your a CL club who can sign another 20 a season hitman).

Realistically we still havent replaced Rom 3 seasons on and Kean is only 19 and will take IMO a full season or two before he can develop into a top centre forward.

I do think it'll be ourselves and Leicester uo there this year - just hope atleast one of us can break into the top 4 never mind 6!

Yes Vardy will be almost impossible to replace. Not bad for a one season wonder lol

Fair play to Vardy, I remember when Walsh was here there were always rumours he wanted Vardy and tbf even 2 seasons ago I would have thought his bubble (pace) would burst at some point and wouldn't be worth the hassle/amount of money it would take to even get into a bidding war/chance to twist Leicesters arm.

He's still as sharp as ever, his work rate is absolutely superb, finishing is excellent and he's a still a snidey knobhead which is great if he plays for your club.

He's a top finisher Vardy even if he does look like a pigeon.

Are those necky Wolves fans who think that their club is destined for greatness and are in no way just one of the myriad of other clubs in the league with rich-ish owners sitting on a cash cow back again?

You got battered by a better team lads, show some humility (that means accept that you’re small time) and move on.

Wolf man pre game..we are going to win.

Wolf man post game.. I meant the singing and the grammar.

Weirdly when you bought the Turkish striker, Iheanacho and that Musa guy you'd bought well to replace Vardy's goals. I'm clearly not cut out to be a scout.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

They're a very negative side but often get out of jail with some individual quality

Reminded me of watching Burnley with a few better players.

 

[DrEFC]

Difficult to say mate. I don't see them struggling too much, but maybe won't finish as high as last year. They were quite cumbersome today. Caused problems though in that first 25 mins. But once we got to grips, we were worthy of the win in my view.

TBF heard a few Wolves fans outside the ground say it.

 

[DanB90]

Imagine being from Birmingham’s arsehole and trying to give it the big’un.

 

[witchdoc187]

I think we're all in the same boat to be honest. Except for Wolves who have a much too small squad for a long Europa League and premier league campaign. We've got Maddison, Tielemans and Barnes who I expect to chip in with goals and a few others

Who do you reckon will finish higher mate. Us or you?I think we are both on par and I genuinely don't know. But with Chelsea and united looking a bit dodgy we could be in for some good times

 

[hoppy]

Great win today for Everton but gave wolves two sloppy goals today defending needs sorting out.

Hard to say mate. We've been solid so far but hardly spectacular and I'm guessing the same for you. Would be nice if we could stay unbeaten for a bit longer. Not so long ago I was laughed off of the forum for suggesting that a combined 11 of both clubs would be fairly evenly split so I'm guessing you lot are confident of finishing above us.

If its not us breaking into the top 6/4 I'd like it to be you boys. Don't like West Ham and Wolves are way too cocky

 

[ClausThomsen]

Enjoyed that and even with the late equaliser I was fairly confident of the 3 points. There might be a few iffy results this season but I'm all for this pressing and attacking verve.
