Match Thread Stoke City vs Everton, 6th Feb 2016

[Ron Burgundy]

Howard tweets most match days, to be fair.

I am not yet going to cry.

 

[blue to the bone]

Didn't they say yesterday he was definitely out .

I believe so yes

Martinez wants a serious arse kicking if Howard is starting

Arse kicking? The bloke needs sacking.

 

[Jxg]

Not a fan of the abuse Howard is getting.

He's been with us for a long time. I want him to be dropped as much as anyone and his antics with the Gwladys doesn't help but he doesn't deserve the sh he gets on twitter.

It's so Everton that if its true they haven't got their starting back 4, we can counter it with Niasse having no work permit and lukaku having a bad back. Forget their 'second string' defence, Kone wouldn't even frighten their youth teams defence.

Any pubs in edge hill/Kenny showing the match?

Funny that because he scares the life out of me every time i see him on the pitch.

...He's starting, isn't he?

I'm confident he will not be in the starting line after Martinez's comments post-Toon.

Just in case Chico wasn't joking about no preview for this one...


Stoke are garbage except for Arnautovic Shaqiri and the fact midfield destroyer Imbula is likely to debut...they deserve a flogging their undeserved last minute penalty at Goodison


If Lukaku is injured we most likely start with Kone up front however bobby said Mirrallas is back so I wouldn't mind seeing kev play CF and Niasse play the role he's most likely to fill for us in the LW cutting in...

Joel keeps his spot in goal... Not because he truly deserves it but because Howard's hips have given out, no Stones or Besic I'm pretty sure the rest of the squad picks itself.... I predicted Lennon to have a big game vs Newcastle... This time it's Gerry La 3-1 to us

Joel does deserve his place. He has done nothing wrong this season.

if martinez plays that useless gimp howard in goal today he needs sacking

 

[ijjysmith]

Why are people going on about The American?

The boss said he was out I'm sure

 

[Zatara]

I keep thinking about the 10 plagues of egypt in the time of the pharaoh's.

We will absolutely destroy these, im the most confident i have been all season.

6-0.

Don't worry mate, have it on good authority Jason derulo is in goal.

 

[Neiziro]

I remember that time we thumped this lot 4-0 in Bob's first season. Geri scored the first at half time, followed by Coleman, the Ov and Big Rom.

Someone's overdue an absolute thrashing from us.
