Everton (A) 26/8: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Bigbadwulf07]

Hwang has to start for me. He at least has the knack of being in the right place at the right time. His ball skills b4 the world cup were poor but since then he's done as well as anyone

 

[Lupo]

He was pretty good yesterday, in particular the run on goal before passing to RAN who fluffed his lines and of course he actually scored again

 

[Jinky]

Third game of the season and already a massive match. Lose and we can kiss goodbye to any optimism for the season ahead because three defeats in a row and rock bottom of the table will make the club poisonous on and off the pitch.

I reckon we’ll lose.

 

[The Bear]

Hwang for Nunes the only change for me. Silva needs to play, we can't keep putting wingers up front.

Do you think Cunha is a winger?

Cunha isn't a winger is he? Must have missed summat there. He's no striker but surely a 10 or second striker type.

DCL has a fractured cheekbone.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Maupay to break his duck against us?

Has no luck that lad .

It wasn't really unlucky, he ran into Martinez. Can't be doing stuff like that, it's daft.

He didn't look good at the time and it was very odd they let him carry on.

 

[Tony Towner]

Maupay to break his duck against us?

It'll be Che Adams I'd have thought, assuming the deal goes through.

Interesting tactical choice for Dyche, his natural instincts will be to sit back and try and hit us on the counter, but unless they score early I can't see their fans having that. I hope they have a go at us and let us expose their lack of pace at the back.

It's a game neither team can afford to lose so I don't think either will.

 

[The Bear]

It'll be an interesting game. Dyche will have to try and take the game to us, and I expect O'Neil to continue to play the way we have in the first two games. Should be quite an open affair I'd have thought.

 

[Keef]

It’ll be a dull 0-0 or we’ll make them look like peak Brazil and they’ll put 3-4 past us.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It won’t. They make us look rather high scoring. Both are creating and missing. So I’m thinking about 4-3 to us bizarrely. Which would make the paddy power tweet look silly but they won’t care as it will have roped in mugs to throw money at 0-0. Did I mention I hate paddy power?

 

[AndyWolves]

I just hope we don't let them settle in the first 20 minutes.

An early goal for us would knock the stuffing out of them

 

[Kenny]

They didn't mention a score btw. Just tried to do a funny version of "it will be shit"

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And I wonder why? Bookies eh?

 

[prawnking]

It’ll be a dull 0-0 or we’ll make them look like peak Brazil and they’ll put 3-4 past us.

Agree with the former but not the latter. I think we'll be all over them but fail to score, and it'll either be scoreless or they'll nick it 1-0

 

[AndyWolves]

Maupay will definitely score at least one, it's just how these things work

 

[Derby Wolf]

It'll be an interesting game.

Optimistic.
