Match Thread West Bromwich Albion vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Dunc's elbow]

Hope we get into these from the off, valuable 3 points required. Almost forgot it’s an “early” kick off.

 

[tim cahill]

Bernard will be lost against their physical grocks.

Maybe less so if he's playing behind the strikers. He could draw a lot of fouls there.

who is the DM?

Pickford?

 

[Mr PEN86]

I like this line up you know but not much reinforcements on the bench so they need to go in hard from the off. 1st goal vital tonight if we're to avoid another Everton-like collapse. UTT

 

[carolinablue232]

King , Sigurdsson and Allan could realistically come off the bench I think?

Yeah, they’re the obvious subs. Niels if we have an injury at the back I guess.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Carlo poker facing everyone with his team selections lol I think it’s a good thing, as long as it works.

 

[argietoffee]

Unless Good Gomes turns up, that midfield is powder puff. He turns up one in four.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Me too! My hope is that Ancelotti is just taking care of him so he is ready for Chelsea. But as much as I love Don Carlo, it always worries me when he makes the small injury statements that turn to be a month plus.

It winds me up tbh - wish he would just say they are out and not blag us.

Some of us stake good money on Everton to win based on encouraging press conference injury news lol

 

[Jim Hopper]

Looks like he’s gone for the tricky players to draw some fouls which WBA are prone to giving away outside their box.

 

[Saint Domingo]

So that’s Olsen, Coleman, Mina, Davies, Gbamin, Delph, James all not available for the team with no injuries. Ok.

 

[Bluejay]

I worry that if James is fit enough for Chelsea, he would be fit enough for the bench tonight.

 

[Efcjake]

Giving James the week off so he can come back and do naughty things against Chelsea.

If we're starting Bernard and Iwobi then I would have liked to see what King could do with 90 minutes as well.

He plays his cards close to his chest every week! No one has a clue what team or formation we will play game by game.

 

[Ring master]

WBA unchanged from the weekend. Honestly thought he may have rested a few given they have such a massive game at the weekend.

Then again, I suppose this game is also massive for massive Sam.

For me, he thinks i think that they have more of a change at winning tonight with us only playing monday, west brom then have the same problem v Newcastle that we are having tonight-not much time as their game is midday sunday - as proved by his team after all his moaning

Very strange
