Five Matches in 14 Days

Getting ready for a football OD. Can't wait. It's going to completely wreck my sleeping patterns though.

Here's one I made earlier.

I'll do a fresh one before the match.

Sunday matches are damn inconvenient though. Early Monday morning here, so it's a five coffee day at work. By the end of this run of matches I'll be shakier than Michael J Fox in an earthquake.

There's a game on the 27th that we have to go there and stand up even if we play through the week before it!

Didn't Cahill say once that footballers loves tight schedules? He said they don't have to training that much and can only focus on games.

Don't most prem teams (at least top half) have similar amounts of games too?

Some will have CL instead and most still have Carling cup

Whats the problem?

Great opportunity to find some defenders who can defend over the next couple of weeks.

The previews gonna be a pain like but @ijjysmith kindly has the league cup.

Exactly cant see the issue. Wanted european football so now we have it got to be positive and embrace it.
Got a bigger squad now so id expect Bobby has faith in the players he choose to bring in. West Brow will be same again I reckon similar to Chelsea game. Id expect 3/4 changes for Wolfsburg game with players that started on the bench on the saturday coming in. Id expect a strong core though for every game in league and Euro though ie. wont see 2 changes made at centre half and centre mid. Back to full team for palace games then on the sunday. League Cup game I reckon we will see likes of Ossie, Alcaraz, Gibson, Besic,Eto and Atsu playing along with few of the 21's which should still be a strong enough to get a result. Swansea cant afford to put out a full 11 if the are playing the sat again. 4 days rest for likes of Barry, Distin, Lukaku, Mirallis and McCarthy who will be fresh for Lpool game early sat. We are bound to pick up one or 2 knocks along the way but will have Barkley, Oviedo and garbutt back soon soon enough. I can guarantee that Bobby and his team have an idea of what temas they would like for next 6 weeks for each game and have a plan to make changes due to any injuries.

seems ludicrous we have 2 weeks off for semi-meaningless internationals and then have to cram so many club team games into a short space of time.
As said its a sign that Everton have been successful, long may it continue season after season and our squad will grow bigger and stronger bit by bit too until we deal with it adequately and it becomes the norm

i would love to watch us play every day. Great news

 

[Khalekan]

They are pro athletes at the peak of fitness and we have a big enough squad for rotation. This is why we have 2 players for every postition.

Yall need to chill the hell out.

This.

I don't know why anyone would be complaining about us playing two games a week whilst we are currently in a drought with a fortnight between fixtures.

I love the two games per week scenarios.

 

[Khalekan]

can we tank the League Cup? Waste of time

No we can't and no it's not.

Yip.

And not just Timmy.

Pro footballers have been saying this ever since I have been following the game.

 

[tim cahill]

Can't wait!

Could be a good thing I suppose, if they get momentum going
