Everton (A) - Sun 14th May, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Deleted member 81382]

I think there will be a few changes but not wholesale. If Pep goes too far we'll get a disjointed performance like the one against Southampton in the cup or the second half against Leicester.

I'm fine with Laporte, Mahrez, Foden and Alvarez coming in but that should be it in my opinion. Lewis is the other one that could play but my only concern is whether the crowd at Goodison might affect him. We definitely can't afford to risk the likes of Gomez, Phillips or Palmer though. We've worked too hard to claw Arsenal back to throw it away now by making too many changes.

Everton A

3 days

Real Madrid H

4 days

Chelsea H

3 days

Brighton A

Brentford A

CL FINAL N


Any Sports scientist will tell you a four day plus gap is fine but 3 isn’t.

The problem games are Real Madrid and Brighton. We have to be at our best for RM.

The players will have plenty of rest and let’s be honest have the best of the best recovery facilities? On the brink of potential club history full pelt for me again and hopefully make some changes later on in the game if we can:

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Akanji
Rodri
De Bruyne
Gundogan
Grealish
Foden
Haaland

At least there is little travel (once we arrive back in Manchester) for our 1st 3 games, Everton Madrid Chelsea.

Players are going to be absolutely knackered.

I’d take a draw v Everton if it meant beating Real Madrid and getting to the CL final.

Ain't got time to bleed...

Players are going to be absolutely knackered.

Only for RM and Brighton. The other games have plenty of recovery time. It’s 5 days before we play Everton.

 

[Bill Walker]

Ederson
Akanj dias stones laporte
Rodri foden silva
Mahrez haaland grealish

Think gundo and walkers will be rested, and depends on kdbs knock.

Lewis replaces Akanji, Alvarez replaces Grealish, they deserve a rest.

It is if you use your squad though right?
