Match Thread Wolves 1-1 Everton, Saturday 8th March

Cunha is a massive loss for us, should make you favourites. But as good as he is, and I think he is brilliant, he doesn't track back and has been playing like he knows he is better than us. (which he is, but you don't like him acting like it). A lot of throwing his arms everywhere, moaning at others and everything went through him.

So we're clinging to the hope that it will be a better collective tomorrow, and whilst we lost 3-0 to Forest without him in January, we actually attacked quite well and missed some sitters that night.

The main point will be Agbadou.

I've seen a few mentions about our defence and how bad it is, but it all depends on this guy.

Dawson isn't even registered with us, so he won't be about. (unfortunately for you)

Agbadou has been superb for us since he joined. A real class above. Not necessarily shown in the results but he was that good that we're kind of wondering why we managed to get him relatively cheap (£15m) and why he hadn't been picked up by a top club given he is now 27.

Admittedly it was only 5/6 games but he was excellent, but he did his hamstring at Liverpool. He is now back in training but not certain if he will start.

If he doesn't, Santiago Bueno will play. He's Uruguayan but must be the only Uruguayan who has nothing about him. He's a decent technical centre-back but absolutely not cut out for the English game. He was bullied all night by Rodrigo Muniz last week. Just not got the physicality to cope. If you could design a defender to face Beto, it would be him.

So whoever plays out of Agbadou/Bueno is going to have a big bearing on our chances.

Would expect this XI:

Sa
Doherty, Agbadou or Bueno, Toti
Semedo, Andre, Gomes, Ait-Nouri
Bellegarde, Munetsi
Larsen

Doherty is a doubt and if he doesn't play it will be Nasser Djiga, who is better physically, so that might help us as well given your threats.

I don't think we're as bad as made out. We've generally competed well under Pereira. Much more organised.

Also got a lot of players back for the bench which is a big thing. Hwang, Sarabia (both could easily play ahead of Munetsi & Bellegarde), Guedes and Rodrigo Gomes mean we actually have some options from the bench.

I expect you to edge it but it should be close.

Tbh Molineux has never really been a happy hunting ground for us, so i would not be unhappy with a draw, it keeps our run going at least.

Looks like Moyesie is done with Patterson as well.

I've no idea why any these reporters bring his name up each week. You'd think he was a great young player who'd lost his way.

He's never been anything other than a mirage. The easily bamboozled still believe he's a footballer. Lol.

Mate. You should care about every Everton game. If we are safe or not. Dont get how anyone could not be bothered about any Everton Match. People who say otherwise will be telling fibs, and most who say they are not bothered if anyone, will probably be some of the 1st to moan if we lose, draw. We can watch Everton a tiny touch relaxed, but if we lead any game etc over the months, i will still have a heart attack thinking the worst, and getting annoyed if we led and didnt win.

Yes, maybe. But you have to look at this in context: the last few seasons have been nerve wracking and took a lot out of us. This season we're safe very early. It's only natural many will want to recover all the nervous energy levels depleted in recent relegation threatened campaigns.

That's what I mean by not being arsed. It's a comfort zone I intend to enjoy. Everton v Wolves is not going to be stressing me out, I can assure you of that. That's the problem of Wolves fans now, not us.

If wolves win he will care though. You can be sure of that
