    Was feeling a bit nervous about this one, what with Rafa mastering parking a bus at Newcastle. But with those danger players out, the only worry are the set pieces.

    Anticipating a confident performance, despite the ludicrously short recovery time.

    Speaking of Villareal, they missed their top goalscorer yesterday. Dont let that get in the way or your bizzare logic, though.

    And we missed our best wide right player … don’t let that get in the way of your agenda though.

    Oh and the small matter of 3 of our first choice defenders. Never mind eh?
     
    Pretty much all Everton's important players are absent. This should be really, really an easy win.

    Well, in case we dont, Ole could go full Klopp and say this

    “We started really, really well, exactly as we wanted to start. Then the injury crisis (three United players got injured in 43 mins) started as well. That obviously cost us our rhythm. It was like: ‘What’s going on now?’ “United played with a completely new midfield, pretty much a new three up front. We lost the rhythm and couldn’t get it back.”

    Theres no agenda.

    We have played West Ham, Newcastle and Everton without their top goalscorer and arguably best player.

    Thats not an agenda, its clear that Ole is fortunate to have them missing.

    And please, an injury of a top goalscorer to a smaller club is not the same relative impact when looking at an injury for us. Our squad is far deeper in quality. Everton will be without both Richarlson and DCL tomorrow and youl probably find a way to spin it that Ole isnt fortunate.
     
    Everton without Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Coleman and Gomes are bottom of the table fodder. We should be dispatching them with ease. A 0-0 then.

    Yep, extremely fortunate just like last season to play them early on Saturday after a Wednesday CL game. While Everton had a full week rest.
    But whatever makes you justify your agenda and then claim there’s no agenda.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Why in the hell do you have VDB in the starting line up, he can't even get a sniff of that field. I hope for his sake he leaves in Jan b/c Ole is killing this kid. He better tell MU to FECK off and force a trade! AJAX will NEVER sell us another player, and rightfully so!

    Dearie me.

    This is why the newbs shouldn’t be posting in the mains if this is the horse manure they are contributing

    fecksake I'm talking about his fortune this season. What is wrong with some people, a genuine observation that a manager, any manager, is fortunate to play 4 games in a row against oppositions missing their top goalscorer - and a bunch of idiot posts come out insinuating agendas :lol:
     
    I'm feeling really nervous about this one.

    Everton are in decent form and I'm sure Rafa would love to get one over us.

    One things for sure, they'll not come scared of us and I'm certain that they'll be on the press from the get go.

    We need to take a lead and not rely on another come back.

    A defeat tomorrow will wash away the nice taste left in my mouth from Wednesday night.

    Yeah I was also talking about this season and last season :lol: and I can post smilies too :lol:
     
    Some of these predicted teams are incredible. Coming up against a very physical spine for Everton and we have suggested midfield threes of Bruno, Pogba and Donny, with three forwards in front of them!

    Given that we're statistically the worst side in the league at attacking & defending set pieces that's quite some worry you've got there.
     
    Can’t believe we have an early kick off on a Saturday after playing Wednesday.
     
    Pickford
    Godfrey / Mina / Keane / Digne
    Townsend / Doucoure / Allan / Iwobi
    Gray
    Rondon

    They have pace on the break and Townsend has been scoring a few of late. Their midfield is definitely more physical and dynamic than ours. Despite their injuries, there are no easy games in the PL.
     
    We should win... but probably won't. A draw is the most likely result unless either someone in red has a moment (or five) of magic or our defence gets caught as they did countless times on Wednesday.

    PS I'm not sure we very much like Saturday lunchtime kick-offs...
     
    Matchday today boys and girls can’t wait to batter this piss poor Everton side with Benitez in charge of them, going 3/4- nil with Bruno Fernandes involvement in all 3/4 goals, he loves a bit of Everton. Let’s have it…
     
    With Richarlison out I just don’t see that these guys can hurt us on the counter. If we can’t handle Andre Townsend we may as well give up now. Think we’ll go with Pogba in the double pivot and Sancho left/Greenwood right and batter them.
     
    Last game before another annoying international break. A loss and I feel crappy for 2 weeks and avoid football related media or a convincing win and have a feel good factor counting the days till our next game.

    Think Ole may slightly mix up the team (Cavani and Donny to come in?). With Evertons injuries we must take advantage

    So they will have Rondon as striker and Gray behind him? That's one of the worst forward lines in the league, so they shouldn't possess too many problems on paper but in reality is another matter... I haven't seen Everton much this season but I imagine they will be organized and make it difficult for us. I can't see it being an easy game. Also difficult to play Wednesday evening and then Saturday morning.

    Rondon nailed on to score then so.

    I have a feeling this is going to be a horrible game.
     
    DDG

    AWB
    Lindelof
    Varane
    Shaw (Telles if not fit)

    Matic
    Pogba

    Greenwood
    Bruno
    Lingard

    Cavani

    Freshen it up a bit. They will be tight and well organised as all Rafa teams tend to be. But we should be smashing them up in all honesty with a strong bench.

    2-1 scruffy win

    Yet they are on the same points as us. Benitez builds good teams unfortunately. Of course we have better players but I fear they may play better as a unit.

    Same here. As you would expect from a Benitez team, no doubt he will have them well drilled, compact and limiting space between the lines. Need to attack them early as they shouldn't really have too much to worry us going forward.

    I wouldn't be so sure that's the only danger. I'm really worried about us losing the midfield battle; having visions of Docoure breaking from deep beyond Fred to nick a goal, and then putting 10 men behind the ball for the rest of the game.
     
    Going to the game today let’s hope we can bounce back after Villa

    Yeah. Relieved it was nothing serious.

    Also will be great to have Shaw and Rashford in tandem again after the international break!
