Everton (H) - Thu 26th Dec '24, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[bitterblue78]

Stones injured again, Pep has confirmed

Complete waste of time

 

[OldhamBlue94]

0-1
80% possession
20 shots
3 on target

Everton will score with their only shot on target from a long ball over the top

We’ve currently lost the same amount of games as Everton in the league

 

[chris85mcfc]

Everton double chance is 11/4 for those interested

 

[Fordyboy46]

Just the tonic you want over Christmas this game, lol

 

[Fordyboy46]

These players are doing everything but digging in. It’s about time they put in some effort

He's wumming mate

 

[toffee balls]

0-0 written all over it

That would be a good result.
A clean sheet should be the priority .

I’m pretty sure Akanji looked like he was struggling the last 20-feeling inside left thigh/groin….defence likely be Walker Pusey Josko and Rico….heaven help us

 

[bearcityblu]

You just know how Dyce will set Everton up for this one, same as he did v Arsenal. It's going to be a defensive wall. We need the crowd to get up for this and get 3 points.

 

[Toffeedude]

We can't lose this one can we?

I hope so.

 

[Toffeedude]

Can two clubs lose the same game?

Yes we can

 

[swinton blue]

I would try the false 9 just for something different. We cant get any worse.These players have played it before and had success with it.
Give harland a rest. If we play harland like we have been doing with no service Everton two centre halves will have an easy day. Give them no one to be physical with and we might get a result

This! Probably going to be a very frustrating and boring game to watch.

 

[Ajm1985]

Everton are inconsistent but they have the capacity to dig in & defend well, with a couple of players who can break at pace. We need to be clinical and reduce self-inflicted mistakes - a big ask for the team at the moment

That’s actually a great idea and probably our best way to getting a positive result.

We need to start parking the bus at this rate.
I don't care if we don't look good on the eye and play great football anymore, I want, sorry we need to see results

Give it to Phil.

No reflection on Erling, simply give him a rest and let him clear his head !!

Can you park the bus against Dyche teams?

This may be a way of Pep being able to change things up a little with the players we have. It will give opposition managers food for thought!
