It's a weird one to predict due to that, could see this being one where both counter the others strengths and don't exploit their weaknesses and fizzling to a nil nil. On the flip side the opposite could happen and could end up with shedloads of goals.
Key is if there's an early goal think we...
Played probably the third best side in the league away where we have a terrible record at.
First half tactically spot on, limited them to pretty much nothing and had two absolutely clear cut chances where we should have scored from at least once.
Second half they cut out the counter well but...
Whoever next is spurs away, need to be massively better mate
Agree we started lazy went one nil up anyway and never broke out that mindset, 70% possession United first half was criminal given we never really countered
Still think the garner for gueye sub should have happened at ht, just wasn't at the races today.
Could say that about a few though
Also think McNeil for gray should've been the change early.
Same mate, think Lampard really gets players psychology, he's got the lad fit and dying to play, and the United game is the "go show them what they're missing" moment to top off his motivation. Wouldn't shock me to see him start even.
Just got the weird feeling it's all going to click into place tonight, United in disarray, us on a great unbeaten run and picking up momentum with every game, Goodison will be absolutely rocking with the kick off time helping there too.
4-1 Le Blues.
Onana and Gana to open their accounts...
If he's in the last year of his deal, the I'd hope we get him to extend by 2-3 years, on his current form he's a decent squad player and low wages.
If in the season or so after we push on then we can move him on to the likes of Saints etc for a few bob.
Fearing the best we can hope for now with Dom is that over the second half of the season he can string a run of games together - show some form and not break down again and someone takes a chance on him over the summer.
Can't have a team whose recruitment is focused on bringing in players all...
So week before the United game the papers yet again pull a rumour out linking one of our best players to them, used to be a routine tactic by them during Moyes time doing that, nice to see it's back...
