Everton (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[hertsblue]

The only reservation for me is the physicality of Everton. Always dirty bastards against us. Not bothered about the result so I'll stay out of the match day thread

Plus Oliver will let them foul at will

 

[Bozo]

Good team but Jesus ahead of Sergio? Urgh.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

If we are 1-0 down with 20-30mins to go in a champs league final who better to bring on? Id say in that scenario he has every chance of playing.

If we were 3 or 4-0 up with 10-15 mins to play Id bet money on Pep bringing him on.

I’ll bet you £20 to charity ... he doesn’t get a second on the pitch next week .

p off Pep, Aguero should be captain today and Torres deserves a start over Raz or Jesus. 2 wasters get yet another free start when they haven't earned it.

Is it possible Aguero is still not completely fit and Pep might be holding Torres for a sub appearance ahead of a CL final start?

Flap flap to the end haha

Might give match day forum a miss today……

This is what worries me more than losing the game.

Davies to nobble half our team by halftime.

 

[PragueBlue]

Tune up for the final... be mad not to start them seeing as we've not seen this team in ages

Have we ever seen this team? Fernandinho, Foden and KDB in CM with Stones, Dias, Walker and Zinchenko at the back?

Can't think of any occasions with those 3 in CM but I may be wrong. 9 of the 11 that will start the CL final IMO. Gundogan and Bernardo getting some well deserved rest.

Sergio injured ? I thought he was going to start but as he's on the bench I wonder if he's not 100%. Unless Pep is being ultra ruthless in preparing for next Saturday.

 

[Blue Llama]

Annoyed about Sergio not starting

Would you rather he started and was subbed at 65 minutes. Or bring him on so the fans can give him an individual honour and be on at the end of the game, win lose or draw?

Ahh, there’s the positivity I missed away from the forum.

He has only one session of training apparantly

Why is the title still red on sky’s promo videos? Change it you pricks

As i said, in certain circumstances he may.....why are you like this I wonder?

I don't care if Kun leads the team out, the game kicks off and he pulls a can out of his shorts, lies down in the centre circle and demands to be carried off on the stretcher like a throne, he should be walking out as captain and Raz and Jesus don't deserve to kick a ball for us again this season. Torres does so keep his confidence high by giving him proper game time for once.

 

[hilts]

Pep playing the team he wants for next Sat.Gundo took a knock and did not expect him to start. Changes made early second half. Sergio not fit for 90

No way sterling and Jesus start next week. Unless someone gets injured today.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I’m so glad I brought extra tissues! The goalkeepers came out to such a cheer and I teared up! This crowd are going to do us proud today folks. :-)

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

That Agüero montage on Sky just now was so emotional. Football moves on, but not yet....not yet.

 

[FantasyIreland]

With the exception of Bernardo and Gundogan for Sterling and Jesus,that should be our starting 11 next week.Stronger than i expected,but i suspect wholesale changes at HT.

It will be good if Aguero comes on in the 46th minute,for the reception!
