Match Thread Everton v Salford City, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Wat Tyler]

Pickford will play and rightly so, probably a few others are certs too like Kenny, Davies, Sigurdsson, Kean. Kean will score and we will win.

Hope he doesn’t play. League Two teams bombard the box with long balls and crossed and the lad can’t catch a cold.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

No big upsets tonight - all bodes well for tomorrow if we weren't Everton.

 

[Deco]

Half of me wants us to play the same side but with Allan and James on the bench, replaced by Gordon and Sigurdsson.

We can't afford to mess this up.

Maybe Kenny, and Niels starting too.

 

[bicycleheader]

All of me wants to never see Sigurdsson play another minute for us

 

[Toffee222]

I think as we have a big squad at the minute with cover in all positions I can see changes being made and Ancelotti going with a similar 11 in both of the LC games as the next round is just next week I think (on the basis that we get through)? This will give the others a go and could mean they might play 2 games in a week and then he can get the strongest 11 working on tactics for the next few league games which are all winnable.

 

[BlueToff]

true, but our 2nd team with our best players on the bench should be able to win this one.

but it's our 1st team that need minutes

There should be a balance, no need for 8-10 changes

 

[BlueToff]

Hope he doesn’t play. League Two teams bombard the box with long balls and crossed and the lad can’t catch a cold.

He did pretty well on Sunday.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Looking forward to an Everton match day and no sick nervy feeling in the stomach. Such a weird feeling.

 

[Hickson9]

This is well worth a quick watch before we play Salford. Phil Neville is sound.

 

[Blue83]

I don’t actually think Lossl is terrible. If he’s sticking around it’s to be the cup keeper.

I don't either he wasn't terrible at Huddersfield, just don't think there's much point having him as backup if he'll be gone the first offer we get for him ?

 

[UptheTofees]

I hope we rotate heavily

Too many times have I seen a key player injured in these cup games vs lower division teams.

An example was Falcao in France. He was never the same after that.

 

[Goat]

We are in big, big trouble unfortunately.

Not anymore Browns.
