Match Thread Everton v Norwich City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[MikeH72]

People billing this up as a walk in the park secretly knowing it'll be a struggle. Dying for that over the top Benitez fume.

I think you’d have to be a genuine idiot or just being dishonest to think that this won’t be a hard fought tight game.

Be tempted to start Gordon on the left and Gray up front. Rondon looks on his arse bring him off the bench.

Pickford
Holgate
Keane
Mina
Digne

Allan
Gomes

Doucoure

Townsend
Gray
Gordon

Oh 100%

But anyone suggesting we shouldn't actually win it and already getting excuses in is only doing it for one, twisted reason.

We should beat this Norwich team even with the players we have injured.

That does mean them having worked on more than just running about a bit in training, mind.

We pumping Pickford full of painkillers/giving him a new shoulder?

I’d say the bare minimum required to beat them is to at least match their work rate tbh. If we don’t do that then we are not winning, as we demonstrated many many times last season when crap teams beat us despite us having the likes of James on the pitch.

1-1 just haven't many goals in us with Richarlison and DCL out.

Richarlison?

We have to match their work rate but that goes without saying in any game

You can't just expect that matching work rate pays off in every game

We weren't outworked by QPR the other day. We were outplayed.

 

[Gilbert..]

Tosun and rondon up top. Lets scare the sh!t out of them.

 

[superkeeper]

Do they have anyone still to break their duck ala Van Wolfswinkel?

 

[mccole]

Begovic
Holgate/Godfrey - Mina - Keane - Godfrey/Digne
Townsend - Allan - Doucoure
Iwobi - Grey - Gordon

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

I feel strangely confident that we will win big. I've even triple captained Gray in my fantasy footy team. (However, I have a slight suspicion that my confidence that we are going to smash them is like Hitlers in his bunker in 1945)

 

[gonetomorrow]

Ridiculous we don't have a decent front man. What happened to reserve strikers?

 

[Sadken]

Lpool reserves beat Norwich, if we don't win it will be along dreary winter, we are all doomed.

 

[Marius57]

Benitez fan boys already accepting of a home draw to the mighty Norwich and getting in excuses already.

We simply have to win. If we don't, he deserves the fume because unless our actual performances pick up, we are in real danger of not getting many points up to mid December with the games we have.
