Everton (A) FA Cup QF | Pre-Match Thread

Stering needs to step up , he's been given a chance his current form doesnt deserve , hope he scores a hat-trick and gets back to his best.

Don't think he should be rotating laporte and stones every game, it can disrupt their form, dias needs to be rotated with them then that gives the opportunity to give them all a few games in a row whilst still rotating.

Sterling should be nowhere near the side but at least he will be on the right (or so it seems) stick mahrez in for him and that's a very good side. Strong bench too should we need it. No dicking around get this done early.

Great lineup...I also think we should rest Dias a bit to be honest..God know when he was rested last time

 

[PragueBlue]

We could have spent the £40m we paid for Aké on top notch LB in the summer.

Absolutely pointless paying that much for a player that cant make the bench

Not really. He's been out injured a long time and we have 3 fit and in-form CBs. It didn't look that way at the end of last season.

 

[WickyWain]

Has to be a clarkie?

He posts it before every match, absolutely hilarious isn't it?

 

[creditunionhero]

if you add that bench up it comes out to over a gazillion bitcoin

Please don't give the match day commentators any encouragement, they will just say gazillion without the bitcoin.

That’s a strong team! Hope Laporte can get back to full strength today. No silly errors. Dias will be raging if he does.
Great to see Berni and Phil.
Fingers crossed for Raz, he really can’t go on being this shit and expect to be starting. He’s got to start delivering again.
Start with a high intensity, pass them to death and put our chances away and we should win this.

Should have gone with absolutely strongest possible line up. National teams dont care about clubs so why rest players for them?

 

[aguero93:20]

Decent.

Got to be very similar to one that started the league game there?

Cancelo, Jesus, Rodri and Mahrez all started.

Did we have a crystal ball then ?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Weaker than I'd expected and hoped but should still be far too good.

 

[Blu1]

Not easy this as they have zero pressure on them & this is almost a cup final to them.

first goal could be crucial today & hope it goes our way

Thats still a very strong line up.

 

[Cornish_Blue]

These are exactly the type of games he should be starting IMO until he gets his confidence/form back.

How long does he need??? He’s doing the same thing, game after game?? There’s something wrong mentally.

 

[aguero93:20]

Ric picked him !

£400m bench , we are going to take some shite for that , Pep feeding the trolls , Klippety will be livid with his usual pound shop subs bench. Anyone know who the Dippers play this weekend ?

Agree

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

We didn't know Stones was going to resurrect his career nor that Dias would be such a big hit.

It’s not resting. It’s rotating others in to keep them involved and motivated.

Is that what were doing?
