2020/21 Allan

Prevenger17 · October 1, 2020

I'm enjoying watching Everton play football for the first time in about 7 years and Davek can't even let me have that

Proper random bit of digging and may not tell us much but...

On 19/02/2017, Allan was forced off with a groin strain for Napoli:

Napoli midfielder Allan suffers groin injury

Napoli will be without Allan for the immediate future after the midfielder sustained a groin injury during last weekend's clash with Chievo.

www.espn.co.uk

He missed the next couple of games but was on the bench for their game against Roma on 04/03/17 (13 days later) and then started the game after that on 07/03/17.

The derby is 17 days away.

Top detective work amigo

Where on earth do I even start with this nonsense lol

By Daveks logic. He'd rather we beat Liverpool and lost every other game?

I'd rather we won every other game even if it meant we never beat Liverpool again.

I'd take 10-0 loses at home and away against them if it meant we won the league or even just got top four.

It's that mentality that they take the piss out of us for. The Derby is our cup final..?? No. I don't give a toss about them.

Do you choose...

A: A league and cup double

OR

B: Beat Liverpool home and away

OR

C: Both

Dave chose B...let that sink in lol

We do need Allan for the Derby though, hes right about that.

Davek is a bona fide dopelol

Debunkology · October 1, 2020

OK, we've given Davek enough attention with his bizzare rants of meaningless PL points and derby cup finals, ironically the reward of winning said final will be 3 meaningless PL points.

Back onto Allan.

I don't think Delph did too bad and can be decent backup, provided Doucoure plays alongside him. Allan won't be playing against Brighton, and hopefully not going on International duty will be a blessing in itself.

Rest James and DCL as well...he cant lead the line on his own in any case. Put someone like Walcott up or play a false 9.

Dave we get the same 3 points against Brighton as we do Liverpool. Lets look after Brighton first and then worry about Liverpool.

Sake, I have the tool on ignore and it still ruins the thread.

I would love to finally beat them as much as anyone.

But the idea all of these games before it this season are irrelevant, is an interesting viewpoint let's just say

Fair point, probably worth playing the kids on Saturday, win the Derby and leave everyone at home til the return in February.

But had we lost and then West Ham drew Newcastle at home you'd be moaning we blew a great chance of winning a trophy by playing a weakened side. Can't win either way with Captain Negative.
