Match Thread Everton v Wolves - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Mugwump]

One thing Wolves won't do imo is sit back and play for a point so at least it should make for two teams going for the win.

We need our big players like Rico, Benard and Gylfi (as he seems to be undroppable) to really step up.

Luckily with Davies in the middle pulling the strings and snapping anything in gold we should dominate that part of the pitch. Moutinho won't know what's hit him once Davies has pounced on him taking too long on the ball

Up Everton

1-3 to Wolves

We dont tend to play for draws, but we will invite pressure onto us and hit you on the counter attack. We do counter attack with a lot of pace, its been a big weapon for us this year.

No one has been insulting Mugwump despite his baiting.

I havent baited anyone

 

[Igrok]

Come on, Marco..have some colhoes...
Espirito Santo needs some guidance...

I quite like Wolves. Decent, harmless club.

Your gaffer there has done a marvellous job, albeit with a hefty budget and good contacts via Mendes.

I think we'll beat you tomorrow simply because we've got better players almost all over the pitch. But football is rarely decided on such so it can't be dismissed that you'll do a job on us.

All being said, i'm sure you're enjoying this season. You've been terrific.

We seem to win then get beat, no consistency.

The FA Cup has really knocked the stuffing out of me.

I actually dont think ability wise the best 11 of both sides are too dissimilar. In all honestly, i wouldnt take your midfield over ours right now. I've been surprised Gomes hasnt been a lot better for you. Cant say i've watched you guys a great deal, probably about 6 or 7 times this season, but you dont play like a team imo when i've seen you, but i could have been watching on your bad days!

Just out of interest, what do you think your best team and formation is?

We don't play for draws either mate, we play for defeats mainly so should be a good match.

Ah that's the question. We've tried so many permutations that it's difficult to say.

Personally i'd go

Pickford
Coleman Mina Keane Digne
Gomes Gueye
Bernard Sigurdssen Richarlison
Tosun

But there will be plenty that say otherwise and it's hard to disagree.

Best of luck for the season mate.

They’re a newly promoted team at home and we should be putting them to the sword.

You're having a good season, we're having a terrible season, yet we can go above you tomorrow. It's all about levels. We expect better and we know we can be, this is about as good as it gets for Wolves. Who wants to join you, seriously? Some Portuguese players approaching the end of their career? This summer, any good players you have will be taken away from you. Not to mention they'd have to live in the cesspit that is the Midlands.

We sell out every home and away game, I imagine this is a rarity for Wolves. It's actually shameful that you can't sell your allocation for tomorrow.

If we 'technically' can't compete with your owners, who has spent the most money out of our clubs since they bought into your club?

In regards to our mismanagement not being on the scale of yours, I'll bring back the point of levels. You're a small club, who has a small fanbase, on one of your rare appearances in the top league. We're currently in the worst period in our history, yet we average out a position of 7th in the league. There'd be an open-top bus parade if Wolves ever manage to consistently match our performance.

This is nowhere near our worst period in our history. That's the problem with our fans, most who trash talk Moyes and Kenwright are under 25yrs old and dont remember life before these two great members of our present and past. If you had followed Everton all through the 90s only then can you appreciate that things aren't as bad as they seem with silver linings to actually believe in.

I dont think you have been doing that badly, probably not where you want to be. You have finished 8th for about the past 5 seasons havent you?

 

[jaycee]

Dont mind the yamyams,should ditch the yellow kit and go back to old gold,Gilly and the subway army were always bellends though

What on earth are you on about? We sold out our away allocation 48 hours after they were realised to non away season ticket holders (check the Wolves website). We've sold out every away game this season (there might have been some still available for Newcastle away in mid December when on Sky Sunday at 4:30pm, although we may have sold out there as well).

We've sold out every home game and have thousands on a waiting list for season tickets. One of the biggest issues at the club at the moment is how we go about increasing capacity.

Molineux's atmosphere has been electric this year, the same cannot always be said of Goodison. That said, I love the old traditional grounds and have a lot of time for Everton. Really looking forward to the trip in our packed out away end!

 

[KaiserEFC]

Properly well run club who sign lots of highly rated youngsters and with a very good up and coming coach. Everything we want Everton to be really.

Far better at playing as a team than us and they have absolutely no fear. Can’t see us getting anything here.
