Everton are 7/1 at home...bookies rarely get it wrong? they know..:)

 

[Cornish_Blue]

PiGMOL & FA/VAR will not want us inside the top 3 if they can prevent it. I can see us being royally fcuked over by officials today, no matter how well we play.

FFS gonna have a field day tonight - another MotM performance on the cards

Why do I have a feeling that this is exactly what will happen. We will all get excited then he will drop a stinker against Chelsea and he will go back to being FFS

 

[M12Blue]

Two knackered teams so our solidity at the back might give us a good chance here

I hope we’re not knackered, coasting for half the Newcastle game

Take the tin foil hat off

Everton have their 4 best players out and are tired.
Wouldn't be in our favour to cancel and have to play them later in the season

No they haven't, Pickford & Calvert-Lewin are playing.

Yes and WBA were 25/1 to draw at Klanfield

Only half? It was an extended training session, really. Newcastle were very limited in their ambitions the other night. I can remember a couple of efforts on our goal, but that was about it.

Well that’s good news for us.

 

[chaddblue]

Not sure how true this is...

The Royal Blues will be without James Rodriguez, Allan and Lucas Digne whereas Richarlison is expected to return to the lineup.

Richarlison has been ruled out

 

[Zenmanc]

We now have a back line where I can't see Laporte starting... Stones looked amazing last time out IMO and has looked good for awhile. I think we are at a place with a squad interchangeable enough that we'll see the 3 at the back like we did yesterday (I think that's what I saw) with more regularity.

 

[The Colonel]

No they haven't, Pickford & Calvert-Lewin are playing.

Clarkie? Have you ever watched Pickford play? Worst technique of any professional goalkeeper I have seen. A complete mystery how he’s the England keeper.

 

[Paul1970]

Think we’ll see Laporte and mahrez come in the team for this one. Maybe mendy too.

Wouldn’t let mendy get anywhere near that team . Total liability

 

[Paul1970]

Crazy odds on the game tonight given the league positions.

Everton 13:2
Draw 4:1

I have gone heavy on both as always hoping to lose my hard earned.

I’d pay a tenner to see us win so it’s a win win mate . Thought I’m the only one that does it ha

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Richarlison has been ruled out

Where did you hear that?

Pope is playing alot better at Burnley that's for sure. He should be starting for England on current form.

 

[citytill1die84]

Can see Laporte at LB like Ake was the other day, can't see Ake playing twice in 48 hours after just returning from injury.

I'm looking forward to this game. I haven't really enjoyed football much since the restart last season, but excited for this evening.
