Don't really see why Norway decided to keep Oscar Bobb up there, instead of allowing him to return home with Haaland .... we don't want him getting injured in a friendly.

Should be pleased he’s released Erling, not fretting about Bobb.
I know we don’t like international breaks but, if he lets them all go, he’d be popping into the Dog and Duck in Oslo and picking the first eleven blokes he sees in there…

Both Bobb and Haaland stand every chance of being selected by Pep for the Everton game though ... by all means keep our players in the Norwegian set up for a meaningless friendly such as Nypan, the yound lad on loan at Boro, but not important first teamers who COULD be easily be sent back as the game has no significance .... if Bobb did his injury again in that meaningless friendly and was missing again for the next 4-6 months then I definitely would not definitely consider it worthwhile, and I'd like to listen to the Norwegian managers explanation as to how he DID consider it worthwhile, and especially as he would be missing from THEIR own squad for the next few internationals!!

They can get injured on a plane or in the shower, there's no guarantees. Bobb needs the minutes so I'm hopeful he gets the full 90.

I have no problem with him getting the minutes ..... I'd just much rather him be getting them in the City team, than the Norwegian one .. and especially as its a meaningless friendly!!

Is there any formal or informal update on Rodri, Ait Nouri, Marmoush, Cherki and Khusanov? I am assuming Erling return is for a rest and not injury related?

Not that I have seen. There is hopeful speculation that they will be back for Everton but I am not sure that they all will be.
 
I'd go with
Donnarruma

Khusanov
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly

Nico Gonzalez
Reijnders

Marmoush
Foden
Doku

Haaland

RAN cannot just walk back into the team when O'Reilly has played excellently. Rodri will be more important v Villarreal and can come on in this game for the final 25-30mins here. Marmoush we need him back involved and his work rate is very good. Cherki, is already back ahead of schedule so I would be careful and ease him back in.

Khusanov should slot back in at right back ahead of Nunes.

Yep
That should 100% be the team.

Having Rodri, Cherki, Savio, Bobb, Silva to come on if needed as well. The squad almost feels back to where it needs to be!
 
Interesting to see how good Doku was on the right for Belgium. I didn't like that Belgium played him for the entire game. He has a lot of minutes in his legs. Doku is becoming an important player for us, but he is playing a lot of football at the moment. I think he will likely start vs Everton but it wouldn't shock me if he's on the bench just because we can't play him every single game. Belgium even played Doku down the middle at the end of the game vs Wales which shows how his game is evolvimg.

The Penny has dropped now for Doku so Doku bashing by Red Mooners is now pointless.

I will be surprised if Pep gives Bobb a start on Saturday. He's not exactly shinning when given the chance this season.
 
Who was the manager of Everton that game where they openly just tried to kick big Erl off the park and he got very frustrated with it all

Expect more of the same this game.

The love fest for young Oscar baffles me. As far as I can see it’s based solely on that little cameo at St James Park.

For me he’s 3rd or 4th choice for a starting spot in his position, he’s got James McAtee written all over him

Looks like it's probably going to be a big coat for the game, maybe a snood and big hat to make sure :)

I can remember a really bitterly cold night game v everton at home under Mancini
It was absolutely freezing. Cant remember the score but got a feeling Tim Cahill scored for them.
Cahill always seemed to score against us .

I can't remember an everton side who played good attractive open football.

I bet the last time was when Ball Kendall and Harvey ran the midfield in the late 60s!

When John Stones played for them and skillfully played the ball out from the back ,the home fans
screamed at him to launch it into row Z.
Ugly team,ugly football and from a personal experience,not very nice fans .
Hope we smash them to bits tbh.
