1) Kolarov has been very good on the wholewe should have got rid of a few in the summer that are still here as players like fernando and navas (and Kolorov imho) should have all been replaced as (again imho) they are nowhere near the quality needed to play for Pep and the way he wants to play.....yaya is also taking up a squad place but will never play.....thats 4 players. It would also free up a hell of a lot of money to bring in younger players who can play the way Pep wants.
My main comment was in response to people saying we should beat Everton......if they play like spurs did (with a similar high intensity pressing which they are more than capable) then they will cause us problems as injuries etc are going affect the ability of the team to play the way Pep wants to play....and trying to play that way with 3 of the players mentioned above will result in for displays as we saw against spurs and better teams (and everton, though not as threatening of spurs are one of those better teams)
Kolorov played ok againat some average teams but as soon as he came up against a team that we need to defend against he was shown up for what he is...a very average defender esp at left back1) Kolarov has been very good on the whole
2) None of the four players you mention would have been replaced by a third right back
3) We should beat Everton. Like Madrid and Barca should have both won their last two league games and didn't. You're going to limit prematch discussions if you have a problem with people saying we should win a game.

Wages are something im sure the club are considering when buying new players and having our top earner sold instead of sat here doing nothing would have freed up money to help pay for another full back
The only problem i have with the third bit about beating teams is that it was starting ti come across as arrogant....everyone can on their day win or lose against anyone else in the prem. Evertin are very capable of causibg us problems...there were sone very similar comments flying about before the spurs game and we were well beaten...not just beaten but outplayed and our weaknesses exposed for everyone to see...now there are only a few teams that are able to consistantly expose them on any given day....spurs, diperpool and arsenal are 3 of them and i would put everton into that group as well especially with injuries meaning we have to play players, like the ones ive mentioned, who are not capable of playing the way pep wants which jyst exposes our whole defensive game....the key protagonists of which are the full backs and fernando...if he plays we eill be more vulnerable...
Of course we could win and we could thrash them but some people on here are makjng out that it will be easy...it wont.
OK but I see Everton playing a similar style to Celtic and Tottenham. That's my concern.yep we will have to be dead jammy to beat Everton we are shit 10 wins 1 draw 1 defeat , we are doomed
Nolito coming back would get our balance right in the team.
Would play Maffeo in this game, zaba needs all the rest he can get before Barcelona.
Where the hell is Delph?
