[Wrecking ralf]

Have we had a list of the travelling squad?

 

[USREDEVIL]

Alls i knows is that Bruno needs to be up front, not in the midfield. Zirks and nachos i imagine must start.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

I still can't understand why he hasn't once tried Garnacho at one of the WB spots. Especially since we've seen games where one of the WB is essentially a wide winger. Would give room for Bruno and Zirkzee to play inside while Ugarte has a different partner besides him.

 

[Hughes35]

Mad going in to game against a pretty average Everton and genuinely thinking Everton are favorites for the win.

 

[Bwuk]

Onana
Maz - de Ligt - Yoro
Dalot - Ugarte - Casemiro - Dorgu
Bruno - Zirkzee - Garnacho​

Struggling to see why it’d be anything other than this.

 

[Bright_Eyes]

Exciting bottom of the table clash ahead! If we play our best we can take them!

 

[Reditus]

Moyes has about 1 less point in his Everton return so far than Amorim has in total

They deserve to be favourites

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Onana
Maz - de Ligt - Yoro
Dalot - Ugarte - Casemiro - Dorgu
Bruno - Zirkzee - Garnacho​

Struggling to see why it’d be anything other than this.

Amorim usually isn’t a fan of pairing two ball-winners together - he prefers one alongside a more progressive player, whether that’s through passing or dribbling. Injuries might force his hand, but honestly, from an attacking perspective, we weren’t that bad against Spurs. We’ve definitely had worse this season. Finishing let us down, but we created enough chances, so I don’t see Amorim making changes. Maybe Ugarte in for Casemiro, and that’s about it.

 

[Squeaky_Bum_Time]

I think this is a big game. I am sensing a big mood shift among fans (premature IMO, but it is what it is). Another loss, especially to a team that was struggling and seemed to immediately improve under a new manager, will ramp up the pressure on the team and on Amorim specifically.

I think they’re slight favourites but there isn’t much in it. A bit of composure infront of goal is sorely needed and that will make all the difference.

 

[croadyman]

Going to be like the last game at Upton Park I imagine.

Ah yes the 3-2 with winner from Winston Reid, did that game basically cost us top 4?

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

As low as expectations have ever been.

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

I can see us winning today away at Everton and lose at home vs Ipswich next week.

 

[DJ_21]

Not had an early kick of for a while. I’d rather wait until Sunday so the whole weekend can’t be ruined. Today’s going to be another loss I feel.

 

[SilentWitness]

Yeah, I hate early kick offs. The rest of the weekend is either great because you can watch every other game knowing you've won and you can relax or you watch them all feeling miserable.

 

[DJ_21]

When was the last time Everton were favourites to beat us?

Not sure if they was favourites last time we played them. I remember under ETH and that bad spell that everyone we came against was favourites but we ended up beating them quite comfortably with that Garnacho overhead

 

[groovyalbert]

When was the last time Everton were favourites to beat us?

When they beat us to confirm Moyes' fate? Ominous

 

[Dannn411]

At this point, i've gone from hoping for us to win to hoping everyone below us keeps losing. So hopefully Wolves and West Ham lose this weekend.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Yeah, I hate early kick offs. The rest of the weekend is either great because you can watch every other game knowing you've won and you can relax or you watch them all feeling miserable.

I don’t like the 12.30 KOs - but better than the Sunday night games that come up occasionally, or Monday Night football - I hate that slot (as a neutral it’s great, but waiting to your team play on a Monday is dire).

That's also a weird one because I love evening games, especially at Goodison, but hate waiting for the game to come around.

Love a midweek game - but that should be Tue-Thu!

 

[Sunny Jim]

Exciting bottom of the table clash ahead! If we play our best we can take them!

Say what you want but i really like Everton, Goodison Park and these games. It feels like a proper big game for me.

 

[DRJosh]

1130pm kick-off here in Melbourne…not sure if I should sacrifice my sleep for this.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Enjoy those zzzzs. Then you can go to bed.

 

[Irrational.]

Let’s get this over with so we can crack on with our weekends.

Never have I looked more forward to a season ending.

 

[Roboc7]

It has 3-0 to Everton written all over it, the way everything is going at the club a humiliation at the hands of Moyes just feels inevitable.

 

[GoldanoGraham]

I’m clinging to the fact that everytime we are expected to get trounced we pull a rabbit out of the hat……

Here’s to seeing the first green shoots of spring….

me too, he's a bald prick.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Is Urgate fit again, then?

 

[Møllemanden]

Is Urgate fit again, then?

If he's the one Ruben calls Manoo, then I suppose he is. Goddamn auto correct...

 

[Still ill]

Yeah, that was a rough 18 months alright.

 

[AdamColeBebe]

Mad going in to game against a pretty average Everton and genuinely thinking Everton are favorites for the win.

They absolutely are though that's the thing

 

[LukeChadwick36]

50 year old Gary Neville would still start for us. In fact, 58 year old Eric Cantona and 68 year old Bryan Robson would walk into our team. They’d be genuine improvements on what we have now.

Seen a Utd legends in Belfast a few summers ago.

Karl Poborsky could shift and still had the tekkers.

We could do a lot worse.

 

[Tarrou]

I still can't understand why he hasn't once tried Garnacho at one of the WB spots. Especially since we've seen games where one of the WB is essentially a wide winger. Would give room for Bruno and Zirkzee to play inside while Ugarte has a different partner besides him.

I think it's because he doesn't have the engine for it

 

[NZT-One]

I still can't understand why he hasn't once tried Garnacho at one of the WB spots. Especially since we've seen games where one of the WB is essentially a wide winger. Would give room for Bruno and Zirkzee to play inside while Ugarte has a different partner besides him.

I guess, he has seen what we all have seen and that is that Garnacho has no natural instincts of defending. He might do a job there but thats about it. The WB role is a difficult one to shine in, yet still crucial because defense and attack can die or live based on that position - especially for us when everything isn't set yet and the whole this more often than not is dysfunctional even with the most obvious personel on each position.
I'd rather play him behind the striker to make use of his runs in behind.

I think this is a big game. I am sensing a big mood shift among fans (premature IMO, but it is what it is). Another loss, especially to a team that was struggling and seemed to immediately improve under a new manager, will ramp up the pressure on the team and on Amorim specifically.

Yeah same here. A good result could cool the mood down a little bit, which would definitely be a good thing.

Yeah, I hate early kick offs. The rest of the weekend is either great because you can watch every other game knowing you've won and you can relax or you watch them all feeling miserable.

United in the last years cured me of that to be honest. My expectation levels on a game to game level dropped so a bad result isn't really effecting the rest of the day as much. Important thing is not to log in here after a bad result though if one is prone to get aggrevated.

1130pm kick-off here in Melbourne…not sure if I should sacrifice my sleep for this.

You surely should sacrifice anything for it. Honestly, there is basically nothing indicating that this is going to be a match worth watching live. If you want to see it, there are sites on the internet where you can re-watch it (even with 1.25 speed which makes us look like a slightly better team). Given that I use rivers to watch the games live, re-watching them honestly is a great alternative because it is so much more stable than a live river.

 

[Utd heap]

Yeah, I hate early kick offs. The rest of the weekend is either great because you can watch every other game knowing you've won and you can relax or you watch them all feeling miserable.

Fortunately Utd have made this game fairly irrelevant. However I am sat on a train to Lime Street so more fool me.

 

[Hammondo]

It's evident he cannot play at wb.

 

[AndySmith1990]

Expecting a fairly dull 1-0 loss. Maybe a draw if we're lucky

 

[SilentWitness]

Have a good one! (Or not).

But what about all that lovely moaning you can do and view?

 

[Red00012]

Is Urgate fit again, then?

I don’t know about this Urgaye guy but he can’t be as bad as Casemiro.
(Ugarte is fit )

 

[Red00012]

Kone has made the squad again
