Match Thread Wolves v Everton, Sat 11/8/18 17:30

[Visiting Wolf]

I like Wolves, been hoping they would come back up the last few seasons. Think it will be a close game today. Can see a draw to be honest. You will have a good season though. Think you will be around mid table.

Why thank you. So do I

We’re not generally trying to sound a load of billy-big-bollocks, thinking we’re going to storm the league.

It’s just that the transformation at the club has been so remarkable.
We’ve had managers able to drag a tune out of average players before....we’ve had money to throw around before....but never in my lifetime have I seen us with owners that have an actual plan, bringing in quality back room staff to mold a real identity, and some quality players to go with it.

So please forgive some of our over exuberance.
Most of us don’t think we’ll genuinely challenge the establishment.
But it’s such a far cry from scraping along playing hoof ball with barely a premier league quality player in the squad, we can’t help but get excited.

The new " positive " @davek, is indeed a joy to behold. Long may it last.

Who are you and what have you done with Dave?

 

[blue to the bone]

Baines Starting instead of Digne.
The rest is the same as nearly everyone has predicted.
So say those in the know.
Not surprising really.

3-1 Everton.

33/1 it is. Had a little bet myself.

 

[davek]

So jags and baines be gone out of the team and you will now start to single out coleman now?
Get behind the team for once .

Nope. Coleman is a leader and is great going forward. But only a fool would deny he leaves a lot to be desired as a defender - especially in the positions he takes up.

 

[davek]

And also potentially brilliant.

Also, the lack of an option to buy doesn’t prohibit a purchase.

Lukaku being the most obvious example.

I'd settle for competent - but brilliant would be very welcome!

I always am positive for the team. The hierarchy of the club receive my ire. Rightly so too.

Be surprised if Baines starts. And a little disappointed given he looked well off the pace in preseason

 

[Azza]

I just hope he doesn't do the Gueye - Schneiderlin combination.

Word is he will anyway

[Furey1878]

Everton are gonna win today lads

 

[blue to the bone]

any predicted team-sheets yet?

Pickford
Coleman jags Keane baines
Gueye schneiderlin siggy
Walcott tosun Richarlison

 

[trueblue10]

Everyone seems to think these are ace and many are predicting top 7 for them.

Time for football to do its thing and bring an overly( Steve) bullish and buoyant fanbase crashing back to earth as only this game can do.

Fixed

Our seamus is due a goal.
